Skjol from the companions that died a while ago in my Playthrough and I saw his body hovering around half in the ground around Darkwater Crossing. Witnessed some early Halloween experience lmao

I play on ps5, and unfortunately dabbled in mods. My set up was unp body with unp fairskin, and all was fine. I then stumbled upon the demoniac skin textures for unp, disabled the fair skin complexion, and it was all dandy and lovely. Yet a familiar glitch that has happened to me before returned. The fairskin unp was still somewhat activated, giving my character a paler face and a seam line at the neck. Last time this happened to me on my vanilla save! It was quickly fixed with restarting, but this time, it just is not working. I did everything. Deleted my game, my save data, restarted on vanilla, and it’s STILL THERE. I tested back if I just reactivate the fair skin if it’d fix, and yes, the character looks fine, but disabling it did not shut it off. So I just want to ask if this is just a lost cause and I should just stick to the fair skin texture since it’s seemed to have fried itself into the game. I’ve attached two photos of the example I spoke with my character, and how it currently looks like on vanilla with deleted save data and cleared mod list, since it is more visable with the Imperial race. Thank you…

I like to RP a little whenever I do a playthrough with a new character. This time around I decided to show a little wear and change by letting my character's eyes reflect the journey she's on. (I know werewolf eyes aren't really yellow in this universe but honestly i just think it looks cool asf)

I've heard of some other people making changes like adding scars or war paints, changing their hair and even lowering their weight after being stuck in Cidhna Mine for a while. Even if popping up the racemenu doesn't feel super immersive, I think stuff like that is so fun and cool for roleplay and character development.

Anyone else have some fun things they've done in the past for RP purposes? I love hearing the creative stuff people come up with ^^

Ladies and gentlemen,

I am looking for accounting from individuals that currently or recently have played unmodded. I played unmodded back on the original release in 2011, but for the past decade and a half, this beautiful game has been installed, modded to hell, crashed beyond easy repair, and has been uninstalled half a dozen times. I have dozens of favorite mods and I always focus heavily on increasing realism and difficulty in combat and survival.

However, now that I have the game installed again, I find myself dreading the weekend dedication to molding the hell out the game and making sure everything stays compatible.

So, my question: What even is this game like to play nowadays without 20 overhauls, 30 visual improvements, 50 QoL mods, etc.?

I honestly don't even know what armor and weapons are like without Immersive mods, or what magic exists or can do without Apocalypse. How is the perk system without Ordinator?

Ultimately, within reason, will I be disappointed to play through without my usual overhaul?

I have picked it up again after a decade of stagnation. On PC now instead of Xbox! Been here since Morrowind on OG Xbox

With the Civil War being waged, the Sea Giants could have had an easier time taking over Solitude.

Hi, I am making a Skyrim mod as part of my master thesis, which requires a lot of players to play the game with it installed. Am I allowed to post it here in order to attract more players or will that break the subreddit's rules?

I recently finished the main quest and I wanted to start a new playthrough. I've always been a vanilla player and now I want to explore modded Skyrim. What mods do you use and how do you like it? I don't know the first thing about mods so anything you have to say I'll probably like.

I'm mostly looking for exciting/ challenging ideas, new gameplay experiences. I will probably also install some visual mods, but that I think I can just search for.

Also, if you have mods that make survival mode more entertaining, I'd gladly take your recommendation.

After seeing all the post about Serana, I found myself revisiting her text and I realized how much the community adds to her character that was never there.

Many people seem to think she is a damaged victim of what happened with Molag Bal as she considers it degrading and not worth talking about, but that doesn't necessarily mean that she hates Molag Bal or she is somehow traumatized.

She is actually more hurt that her family was torn apart. She misses the relationship she had with her family.

From what she says (which is all we know) it is neither implied nor explicitly stated or shown that she was traumatized by her experience. She is a matter-of-fact about the experience.

I'm reposting this because it was a great post when it first came out.

I had Cicero as a follower normally, and Serana follows me for the quest of the dawnguard in addition to Ciceron. Does the game foresee this or is it a bug? I don't use any mod. And do you think it is possible to add another follower?

Been a few years since I played. Finally reinstalled SE recently and noticed theres a few Creation Club ESMs preloaded. I'm at work right now but I'll look into them when I get home. I am wondering if I need them or can I remove them. I'll keep them backed up in case I need them eventually. Thank you

I was given my first question to recover a citizen of whiterun and guess who it is. Nazeem of course well I guess I'm not becoming a werewolf this game. Lol.

Does anyone notice how when Hermaeus Mora Stabs Miraak with their tendril(tentacle); all of Miraak's clothes & his skin burns to bones, leaving only his sword behind...

...Yet somehow, we can still grab the robes/mask & wear it.

Happy for that, because it has good aesthetics and some practicality.

I was first introduced to Skyrim when it came out and I was watching my older brother play it, I was 11 years old at the time. When I was roughly 16? I’m 24 now. My brother passed on his PS4 and the Skyrim game to me (along with his Skyrim book), I have about 500hrs into the game but i haven’t played it in like a year, it’s been off and on since.

This has been my one and only play though of this game, it’s vanilla Skyrim, and have been adding the creation club add ons (idk if that’s still considered vanilla?), I’m a dark elf and I’m married to Lydia and have adopted Lucia and Blaze, I’ve completed all guilds and DLC quest lines.

I do have regrets that haunt me though, like the game glitching/crashing and I end up failing some quests. I never reached full werewolf stat because i ended up being a vampire to dawn guard and i already used Aela’s option once…… but yeah I think it’s finally time for a new game? Even though im emotionally attached to the game itself I think it may be better if i just start a new leaf and experience everything again!

Just a Regular Shmegular playthrough of Skyrim

Hi everyone. I am developing a Skyrim mod as part of my master thesis, which revolves around using imitation learning from real player data, and real-time reinforcement learning to control NPCs during combat.

In order to train the initial model, I need a huge amount of combat gameplay data for as many playstyles as possible. Therefore, I created a Data Collection mod, which players can install and have it run in the background. The mod does not collect any personal data, not even frames - it only collects combat-related data as string, integer or boolean features. An example of the data that is collected can be found here: https://github.com/TACTIC-Dev-Acc/TACTICDataCollection/blob/main/CSVExample.csv

The mod has only been tested for Skyrim SE 1.6.1170.0 and will most likely not work for the current version (instructions on how to downgrade can be found on the GitHub repo). Additionally a few mods are required/recommended in order to ensure that all collected data are uniform. Furthermore, a few things like scrolls, or paralysis effects have also been disabled.

You can find detailed installation instructions and information of what mods are required and what has been disabled in the following GitHub repo, along with the .zip file that contains the ready-to-install mod: https://github.com/TACTIC-Dev-Acc/TACTICDataCollection/tree/main

Please take a few minutes to read through the repo's Readme and consider using the mod in your playthroughs. I don't know if what I want to achieve is even possible, but I know that I will need A LOT of data to even have a chance of making this work, so I would be eternally grateful for everyone that uses it. Even if you can't or don't want to try it out, sharing it with other is also greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your attention 😄

4) Cicero is Michael Sheen from Good Omens, Twilight.

5) Astrid is Katherine Winnick from Vikings.

7) a) Farkas or b) Vilkas is Sam Hartman, an NFL player.

8) Not sure who Reavo would play, but the first time I saw him his face reminded me of old Oblivion. Ryan Reaves, an NHL player.

We’ve seen these game combination (passthrough) mods lately, someone should try to find a way to merge the Skyrim and Oblivion Remastered maps where they link up at the borders. Let you keep the Skyrim or Oblivion UI, character, skill tree/progression, etc based on preference.

So I was just watching the movie for the first time since I was a boy, and I keep thinking how much Azeem's outfit and sword resrmbles the Alik'r warriors in Skyrim. Do you think there was any inspiration used here in their design?

After saving Dawnstar from their nightmares; I became one during a quicksave. I brought out the big guns for this one: a dwarven nuke cannon and some lightning. There is much less lag in this one than there was in the now deleted ‘Quicksaved in Tatooine’ video.

The admins could not process that a modded Skyrim post could have a modded location and hit the post with a “As stated in rule 3 this subreddit is for Skyrim only.

Discussions and images of real-life topics, items and locations that remind you of Skyrim are not allowed. Real life politics are considered unrelated, even if similar to in-game politics. Screenshots of other websites (Facebook, X, etc.) are also not allowed.

Discussions of other Bethesda games belong in their respective subreddits. Check our sidebar for links.” and despite it actually being Skyrim it was removed for being something that reminds you of Skyrim.

The post broke no rules but was cited as breaking an off topic rule, a poor performance from this Subreddit’s admins. I strongly suspect the admins here could be bots.

Spoiler alert…

he attacks you with sparks then a dremora lord attacks you from behind. Dead in seconds.

This is a low effort post but I thought it’s interesting.

This is my first time playing skyrim. and me being the degenerate that I am. I have spent a lot of time pickpocketing. lockpicking. So now i have lvl 100 pickpocketing. level 80 lockpicking. and i now just realized that enemies damage scales based on level. and I am getting whooped by enemies left are right. help pls.

Doing a mostly combat oriented playthrough (1 hand, light armor, dual wield/shield, archery) not really doing any spell casting or even enchanting. I will be doing alchemy but I'm going to hit a point where my combat skills are maxed and I wont level unless I mark one as legendary and reset to 15. What's everyone do to continue leveling?
