15 Best Mods In The Anniversary Edition Of Skyrim

Rare Curios

Forgotten Seasons

The Forgotten Seasons creation is one of many in the Anniversary Edition that give players a whole new place to explore. The Dwemer ruins behind Runoff Cave in the Reach hide a threat to all of Tamriel. To stop the Dwemer machines that threaten Skyrim, players must visit each of the ruins’ four wings.

Forgotten Seasons has four different levels that are each based on one of the four seasons. To move through each wreck, players have to figure out its own puzzles. Eventually, they have to face a Dwemer structure that is even more dangerous than a Centurion. In this cave, players can make special Dwarven Crowns that work like Dragon Priest spells and are based on the seasons.

New Armor Packs and Unique Weapons

New Skyrim Armor Sets in Anniversary Edition

There are at least 15 different sets of armor in the Anniversary Edition, and each one is better than the ones in the base game and its DLCs. These sets give new looks to all kinds of armor, from leather and iron to Daedric and Dragon Plate.

Many of these different armors were first seen in The Elder Scrolls: Blades, a mobile game that Elder Scrolls fans liked a lot because of how it looked. These mods don’t change the game, but they add a new level of customizing that keeps a character feeling fresh.

Dozens Of New And Unique Weapons

There are also dozens and dozens of new guns, many of which have names and are one-of-a-kind. This is in addition to the huge number of new looks for alternative armor. Wraithguard and Sunder are added to the Tools of Kagrenac in the Anniversary Edition. The Staff of Sheogorath (not the Wabbajack) and the Aedric item Stendarr’s Hammer are also added.

Each of the new weapons is a lot stronger than the normal weapons in the base game of Skyrim. This gives players both cool-looking weapons and weapons that don’t hold back. A lot of these guns are tied to long new questlines or other requirements, but you have to work for the best things in life, right?

Callback Questlines: Morrowind and Oblivion Addons

Ghosts of the Tribunal Follows From TES III: Morrowind

The Cause Investigates What Happened After TES IV: Oblivion

The Cause is a continuation of what happened during the Oblivion Crisis, while Ghosts of the Tribunal is a callback to Morrowind. In the end of Oblivion, Mehrunes Dagon was destroyed, but the Mythic Dawn cult never went away.

The Cause adds a questline that finds out what the followers of Mehrunes Dagon are doing now that their leader has been defeated. It also adds armor, weapons, and other things with an Oblivion theme, as well as a spruced-up Ayleid ruin that can be explored.

Saints and Seducers

Saints and Seducers is one of the works in the Skyrim Anniversary Edition that is inspired by the fourth Elder Scrolls game, Oblivion. The Saints and the Seducers are the guards of Mania and Dementia on the Shivering Isles, which are ruled by the Daedric Prince Sheogorath.

The Saints and Seducers questline sends players all over Skyrim to find out who is telling Bandits to attack Khajiit. The players find out that each group of bandits looks like the Golden Saints or the Dark Seducers, and they have to fight a cultist who is loyal to a forgotten Daedric Prince.

The Return of the Gray Cowl

In The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, the Thieves’ Guild quests were all about the Gray Fox.The Gray Cowl isn’t just a way to hide your face; it’s a Daedric artifact that was stolen from the Daedric Prince Nocturnal. Because of this, the Gray Cowl has become a symbol of famous crooks.

The nose of the Gray Cowl has the words “Shadow hide you” written in Daedric writing. This is a reference to the person who owned it before. In Skyrim, the item gives the person who wears it the Detect Life effect. It is the only item in the game that gives this benefit without the player doing anything.

Arcane Accessories & The Necromantic Grimoire

Survival Mode & Camping

Two of the most popular mods in the Creation Club go together very well. Survival mode changes everything about how players play the game by adding things like hunger, fatigue, the way resources regenerate, taking away fast movement, and making the environment affect the player’s health, like how cold or warm it is.

Pets of Skyrim

With the Pets of Skyrim mod, players can bring along a range of cute and useful animals on their adventures. This creation comes with five pets. Other pets can be found in several other mods that come with Skyrim Anniversary Edition.

The pets include a Fox that looks for treasure, a goat that can move things, a skeever that can find food (which is great in Survival Mode), a rabbit that can find ingredients for alchemy, and a spider that can trap enemies.

Fearsome Fists & Unarmed Improvements

Once upon a time, unarmed fighting in Skyrim was kind of a joke. Players would only try it if they had tried everything else to kill enemies. In fact, the Gloves of the Pugilist were one of the few tools that could be used without being armed.

This changes a lot with the new Fearsome Fists add-on for the Anniversary Edition. It makes unarmed fighting better by adding 15 new Gauntlets, some of which have blades, spikes, and other attachments that make unarmed attacks hit harder.

Goblins Are Finally Back

Even though no one really missed Goblins of Oblivion or other Elder Scrolls games, nobody is upset that they are back in the Anniversary Edition. It’s strange to see these tiny green homunculi in the Skyrim engine, especially when compared to the Draugr, spiders, and other enemies that Skyrim added.

Goblins were first presented in the Creation Club before they were added to the Anniversary Edition. You can find them in the Blue In The Face questline, which is about how they worship an Orc with a blue face.
