Some combinations of games just make sense. Katamari Dovahkiin makes Skyrim a nightmare Here’s our collection of some of the best Skyrim mods that completely change the game.

Whether these worlds whisk players away to brand new locations or emerge out of the Skyrim we already know and love, they’re a welcome addition to a game that already has the kind of depth most titles can only dream of. Some of these mods literally transform the game, creating an entirely new world to explore. It isn’t just minor cosmetic upgrades or the occasional quest inspired by another popular work of fiction that populates Skyrim‘s incredibly long list of mods.

To chalk up the game’s ubiquity to that, however, would be a discredit to what really makes Skyrim‘s longevity special: its incredibly passionate modding community. Part of that, of course, is because the game has been rereleased so many times on so many different platforms that it is impossible to escape its grasp. The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is something of a timeless classic in the video game industry.
