Now here is something special for our Skyrim fans. Modder ‘nowiam’ has released two mods that transform The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim into a Studio Ghibli-like game. This is a must for those who want to replay and re-experience Skyrim.

As said, there are currently two Studio Ghibli Mods for Skyrim. The first one changes the look for landscapes, including terrain, grass, plants, trees, mountains, dirtcliffs, roads, bridges, roadsigns and more. The other is for the city of Whiterun.

These two mods are part of nowiam’s “A Ghibli Skyrim” series. The modder plans to release the third part in 2026, and that will cover most – if not all – farm houses.

This is easily one of the best visual mods for Skyrim. Contrary to the HD Texture Packs, this one will completely change the art style of the game. And, you know what? As an alternative way of experiencing Skyrim, it’s kind of cool. This is not meant for those who haven’t played the game. But let’s be realistic here. Is there anyone who hasn’t played Skyrim by now?

You can download these two mods from here and here. At the end of the article, you can also find some screenshots. These will give you a pretty good idea of what you can expect from it.

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, which 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 these Call of Duty and World of Warcraft mods. 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 cover. Let’s also not forget this mod 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.

In August 2025, we shared a mod that added support for NVIDIA DLSS 4 with Multi-Frame Gen. Unfortunately, that was a paid mod. Still, as I said, Community Shaders adds support for DLSS 4, XeSS, and FSR. These are free to everyone.

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. Naturally, this last mod is not compatible with this Studio Ghibli Mod. Thus, you’ll have to choose between them.

Have fun!
