I’ll try to include videos of each mod if there are any, otherwise I recommend just checking out the mods’ pages for pictures showing how they look. Be sure to check them all as you install them. I’ve tested most of these mods together, but not all of them. That way, if the game crashes or won’t open, you’ll know it’s something to do with the last mod you installed, and you can just disable it. However, it’s still prudent to test your game by opening it after installing each mod. Using a mod manager can reduce that possibility. It can cause your game to crash, fail to open entirely, or just lead to new and interesting bugs. I won’t pretend to understand the technical side of it, but sometimes if you install, say, 100 mods, some of them won’t work well together.

Because it’s so easy, all the mods I put on this list include links to their respective Nexus Mods pages.Ī word of caution, though: installing an abundance of mods can really screw up your game. All of this you can do within the mod manager. It makes installing most mods easy – just search for the mod, click the download button, and then enable your mod once it’s installed. Instead, I choose to use the Nexus Vortex Mod Manager. There is a community workshop on Steam where you can get mods, but I’ve found it’s severely limited, and you won’t find most of the mods on this list there. I want to start by discussing how you install mods. I’ll be showing you some of the best horror mods for Skyrim in this post. I found quite a few mods that helped me achieve my goal. It wasn’t until somewhat more recently, though, that I got into modding Skyrim, which opened whole new ways of bringing terror into the world of Tamriel. Usually, this just meant exploring certain ruins and doing certain quests. I’m the kind of person who will sit at a holiday gathering leafing through my copy of The Exorcist.Īs a Skyrim fan, I predictably long sought a way to combine my love of horror with the game. Horror movies, horror shows, horror soundtracks, horror novels – I can’t get enough of them. Regardless of the time of year, my life revolves around it. If you’ve read any of my other articles, especially recently, you’ll have realized that I’m really into horror.
