We’ll make sure to note which mods below are only compatible with the Xbox One version of the game. Be aware that some of these might not be compatible with Skyrim Special Edition on PlayStation 4 because of restrictions Sonly put in place. Here’s a list of mods that improve Skyrim’s graphics in some way.
Some add content, some add special features, and some are just for fun.
For another thing, not all Skyrim mods exist to make the game prettier. For starters, Skyrim Remastered lets console owners get in on the fun of modding (though Sony initially said the PlayStation 4 edition of the game won’t support the feature, Bethesda and Sony had talks, and now the PlayStation 4 has Skyrim mods). So even though Bethesda says Skyrim Special Edition works with most already-released mods, should you even bother with them?Ībsolutely. Thing is, Skyrim Special Edition (AKA Skyrim Remastered) actually exists to bring a prettier, richer Skyrim experience to fans – especially console-owning fans. There are thousands of mods available for the PC edition of the game, and the most popular ones add sharper graphics, cooler effects, and more detailed textures to the vanilla Skyrim experience. Skyrim has long enjoyed a very robust modding community.
