Previously I’ve been pretty gentle with modding that game - things like SkyUI to make it a bit more PC friendly, utility mods like the one limits soul gems to ONLY being filled with their highest tier (no more wasting a grand by filling it with a mudcrab). Also LockPick Pro to effectively skip lockpicking, cuz I hate Skyrim’s (bring back Oblivion’s model!)… that’s kinda it.
Looking for mods that bring something new to the actual gameplay. I know there are a ton of them - what are your favorites?
Schlongs of Skyrim, Apocalypse Magic of Skyrim, Interesting NPCs,
And I can’t recall or find the name of a follower that had really enjoyable voice acting and can process based on your preference.
Do any of these mods work on the Steam version of Skyrim, when played on Steam Deck?
SteamDeck plays the same version of the game as a regular PC. Any mods that work on PC will work on SteamDeck (in theory), but seeing as the deck runs Linux, you’ll need to do some more tinkering with Wine and such.
Alas I have no idea having only modded on PC, but I bet they would.
It’s super dorky but I had a blast with SkyVoice - use your mic to say the shouts! It made the shouts way more fun and got me to use them more since you don’t have to go through the menu to equip a shout before using it.
There was a macro mod I paired it with that let me make voice macros - pick a word and key binding, then in game set the binding to whatever you wanted the voice line to do. Unfortunately I don’t remember the name of that mod, just wanted to point out that SkyVoice can do more than just the built in shouts
There’s a mod that puts a museum in solitude and hundreds of unique collectables into the game as well as several small quests. The whole of it is comparable to the Thieves guild in content and the stories are well written. Plus it gives you a place to store all the beautiful unique items and radiant quests to go get them.
Personally I love it, it’s everything I want in Skyrim.
Spellsiphon changes the gameplay massively. Its what I found when I had the same question as you a few months back and it was exactly what I was looking for.
Why’d you post a video instead of a link to the mod?
If you haven’t played Enderal it’s worth a playthrough. It’s a free total conversion mod of Skyrim.
Anything from loverslab should on your mod list
I’ve returned to the game too, after a fairly long break, and ended up settling on Thuldor’s preset. I love Simonrim, so it saved me the time on putting it together, but all the newest fixes/modernization efforts are there too. Strongly recommended. The leveling process is completely different, and that’s something I haven’t tried before. About 60 hours in, it’s really damn solid
Go ahead and go to the Collections section and get one of the most downloaded mod collections. I added Gate to Sovngarde to my list but you can customize it however you wish!
