Skyrim special edition certain mods not downloading pc

Who's going to rebuild Helgen after it got toasted by a dragon at the beginning of the game? You are, of course. It's a huge, fully voiced quest mod where you'll restore the town, choose a faction, and fight in the new arena. Another big mod from Arthmoor restores loads of content that exists in SSE's data files but wasn't implemented in the game. Numerous locations, NPCs, dialogue, quests, and items have been brought back into the light, and Skyrim is richer for it.

This big construction overhaul mod redesigns all of Skyrim's major cities and some settlements as well. Every city has been reimagined to more distinctly fit its own theme with new buildings and vendors. It doubles as an immersion mod as well, with local banners and guards changing allegiance as Skyrim's civil war develops. There are player home mods to suit all tastes, but the Asteria is a particularly nice one—a flying ship with all mod cons, by which I mean storage space and crafting tables.

It's permanently docked, however, and can't be moved around, though it does have a teleporter for a more immersive alternative to fast-travel.

If you want a flyable skyship, try the Dev Aveza. Even with Skyrim Special Edition, there's still plenty of room to make Tamriel prettier. Modders have updated how characters look and added higher resolution textures, among other things, to put a new shine on the game. Climates of Tamriel is a huge overhaul adding new weather types, new lighting, and clouds. It can make night-time darker as well for a more immersive adventuring experience. There's even a winter version that covers even more of Skyrim in snow.

Realistic Water Two, drawing and expanding on the work of some earlier water mods, adds better ripples, larger splashes, re-textured foam and faster water flow in streams, bobbing chunks of ice, and even murky, stagnant-looking water in dungeons. For all your extremely realistic screenshot-taking needs. Skyrim's NPCs already looked dated when the game was first released, and they certainly haven't aged well. The SSE might improve the looks of the world, but it doesn't touch its citizens, so this mod from Scaria should be on your list.

It gives everyone in the game including your avatar a facelift with more detailed textures that won't kneecap your framerate, without making characters look out of place. We can all agree Bethesda's RPGs aren't often stunners in the hair department. So many hair mods get carried away turning characters into models, though.

Vanilla Hair Replacer aims for more lore-friendly changes for Skyrim's default hair choices so NPCs look a less scraggly but still like they hail from Skyrim. Be sure to check the "recommended mods" section of the page to get your characters looking exactly like the ones in the screenshots. While Skyrim Special Edition adds plenty of enhanced visuals, it doesn't do a thing to improve the original game's low-poly meshes.

This mod edits hundreds of 3D models placed in thousands of different locations for items like furniture, clutter, architectural elements, and landscape objects to make them look nicer and more realistic. Hear me out. Aside from NPC's faces, what are you going to have your nose up against in Skyrim most often? Well yeah, enemies, but also doors! Modder "Hype1" has created lots of new door meshes with glorious 4k textures so you'll never be stuck picking the lock on a low-res door again.

While you're at it, Book Covers is a mod that will make books as beautiful as they deserve to be. Skyrim is an even more beautiful place thanks to the visual mods and new locations on this list, but you'll want to populate it with interesting people too. These mods add some of our favorite companion characters, and some cool creatures for them to fight too.

This companion mod is a particularly sweet one, based on popular octogenarian YouTuber Shirley Curry, otherwise known as the "Skyrim Grandma". Created by fans and voiced by Curry herself, the Shirley companion shares Curry's likeness. Tamriel's Shirley has her own lore-appropriate backstory too. After you've completed her recruitment quest, Shirley will join you, fighting alongside you as a barbarian warrior—Curry's preferred combat style. Curry has already started playing with the mod herself, which you can catch the beginning of in her new video series.

Maybe you don't think a blue Khajiit who follows you around commenting on everything and being sarcastic about Lydia is what Skyrim needs, but trust us on this. Inigo has tons of dialogue, some tied to his own questline and more that crops up at appropriate times depending on the location you're at.

He can be told where to go and what to do by whistling, and will follow you even if you've got an existing companion, chatting away with them thanks to skilfully repurposed voice lines.

A sequel to a much-loved Oblivion mod which Terry Pratchett contributed to , Vilja in Skyrim adds the great-granddaughter of the original Vilja as a follower.

She's an alchemist with her own questline to follow and a unique system to give her orders—essentially spells bound to hotkeys that can be used to co-ordinate attacks. Like Inigo she doesn't count toward your follower limit, and if introduced to each other Inigo and Vilja will even chat among themselves.

Will we ever tire of crossovers between our favorite big RPGs? No, we definitely will not. This follower mod adds a custom-made Yennefer that re-purposes her lines of dialogue from The Witcher 3.

You might also try rebooting your router. Unplug it, leave it off for a few minutes, and then plug it back in. And now that it's available for console, it's an essential mod for Xbox One. It's not available for PS4 yet. Bethesda's vanilla Skyrim map is decent enough but this mod takes it to the next level with improved textures and detailed roads. The developer has literally drawn out every single road in the game and needless to say, it's impressive.

And useful. Open Steam and navigate to your Library. Select Skyrim Special Edition. From inside the launcher, click Options and then select the Reset button in the Detail section. Launch Skyrim Special Edition. One of our favorite Skyrim mods for PC is now available for console.

For more info, take a look at the video below. Trust us, this one is very, very good. Instead of modifying enemy AI or tweaking numbers, mod author DServant fundamentally changed how your character behaves in combat. This mod also tweaks most of the game's animations to mesh better with the more freeflow combat system. If any of the above changes sound out of place, they are all configurable from a Mod Configuration Menu. Once you've played with this mod for a few hours, it's hard to go back to vanilla Skyrim.

Combine this mod with a combat overhaul such as Smilodon to radically change Skyrim's combat for the better. Smilodon takes a minimalist approach to overhauling Skyrim's combat, altering as little as possible while still providing impactful changes. Unlike most combat overhauls, Smilodon doesn't rely on injury or positional damage to enhance Skyrim's combat.

All of these changes culminate into a combat system that is much faster, less forgiving, and encourages proper Stamina management. As with most combat overhauls, nearly every setting is configurable through a Mod Configuration Menu. Give this mod a try if Skyrim's combat is becoming dull. Mysticism is a proper magic overhaul for Skyrim. This mod changes virtually every aspect of Skyrim's spell system, ranging from spell balance to new additions.

Over spells have been added in Mysticism, each enhancing the identity of Skyrim's five distinct schools of magic. Restoration now supports diseases and poison spells, Alteration includes fan-favorite Mysticism spells from past Elder Scrolls titles, and Destruction spells have seen some much-needed variety.

If you dabble with spells at all , this mod should be in your load order. This mod brings Cyrodiil's Bruma district to Skyrim, allowing players to travel to the snowy province. Professional voice acting and well-written quests are the stars of the show here. While there isn't a true main quest in Bruma, what is on offer matches and, at times, exceeds what Bethesda has delivered.
