Modders ‘Drengin’, ‘ManuOstar44’, and Varangian94 have shared a new mod that aims to overhaul the capital city of Skyrim, Solitude. This is a cool mod that a lot of Skyrim fans will appreciate. So, let’s take a closer look at it.
The mod adds over 50 new characters with their own daily routines, activities, and tasks. It also adds around 20 new buildings, home to new citizens.
Players will also see a fully rebuilt Castle Dour with new NPCs and rooms. The Temple of the Nine Divines has also been updated, inside and out. It’s now bigger, with more NPCs, new decorations, and even a courtyard that overlooks Haafingar. On top of that, there’s a new small district before you enter the main part of the city, which includes a tavern and a blacksmith.
In future versions, the team plans to focus on the central part of the city, add a new small district near the Temple, write dialogues for the new NPCs, and even plan to create a few quests.
All in all, this is a simple mod that can greatly enhance your experience while exploring Solitude. So, make sure to download it from this link.
Speaking of Skyrim, here are some big fan expansions for it. The First one is Wyrmstooth. Wyrmstooth will add new quests and dungeons to the game. Then there is this mod that brings elements from The Witcher games into Skyrim. Dragon Hall Tavern is a huge 2GB mod that adds quests, new places, an arena, and more. Then there’s Land of Vominhem, Apotheosis and Legacy of the Dragonborn. Don’t forget to also check out this Castlevania-inspired mod. Modders have also recreated the classic PSX game, MediEvil in Skyrim. Shumer and the Priest Kings is another DLC fan expansion mod with over 200 locations and 180+ quests. You can also download an amazing Call of Duty Mod for it. Oh, and here is another one that adds the cool Nemesis system from Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor to it. Lastly, we have this mod that adds six new islands to explore.
And that’s not all. Skyrim has other mods that add lots of cool stuff.
For instance, this mod allows you to destroy a lot of objects. You can also download this mod that makes the NPCs smarter. With this mod, NPCs will now have a dynamic AI system, and they’ll seek for cover. Let’s also not forget this mod that adds unlimited dynamic light sources. Or how about this one that adds a dynamic sanity system? SkyPal is another must-have mod. This mod brings Skyrim and Pokemon together, allowing you to become a Beastmaster.
Last month, we shared a mod that added support for NVIDIA DLSS 4 with Multi-Frame Gen. Unfortunately, that was a paid mod. If you don’t want to pay for it, you can instead use this free mod, which enables AMD FSR 3.1 and NVIDIA DLSS 3.
Then we have this mod that adds a real-time dismemberment system. There is also a 112GB Mod that remasters all 32,000 textures to 8K. Finally, these mods add Subsurface Scattering, Dynamic Cubemaps, Water Caustics and Parallax Mapping to the game.
Lots of mods for Skyrim, right? And you can find even more. So, be sure to check out our Best Skyrim Mods article.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
