Two new quest mods have been released for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition. These mods offer over 7 hours of new free content to the game. As such, I highly recommend downloading them as they can further enhance and extend your gaming experience.
These two quest mods are The Steep Descent and The Rot Below. The Steep Descent is a fun New Year–themed quest. In this mod, you help a beautiful girl in trouble, explore old forgotten ruins, solve interesting puzzles, and earn special rewards that most people wouldn’t expect.
The Steep Descent comes with over 800 voice lines, various dialogues, and scenes. It has several challenging and one fun battle. Furthermore, you will find a few items with their own story, new books, and gifts. It’s a fun mod that some Skyrim fans may appreciate.
On the other hand, The Rot Below lets you uncover the secrets of a mad lich who believed they were a god. You will explore an ancient palace, a hidden underground city filled with the undead, and a crazy warlock’s research hall. The mod includes three boss fights, a fully voiced story, new weapons, and many new enemies to face.
The Rot Below features over 350 professionally voiced lines and tells a story filled with ambition, betrayal, and redemption. The mod takes about 3–6 hours to finish and includes two different endings, giving you plenty of room for roleplay. It also adds a huge new dungeon to explore. You’ll fight through a mad warlock’s research hall, an ancient lich’s palace, and a haunted city of scholars. The mod also includes many terrifying new enemies, each created just for this quest.
Players will find several new weapons, including three magical swords with glowing blades and strong enchantments. There are also new Conjuration spells that let you control the power of rot and summon creepy new undead allies. On top of that, the mod adds new music, including spooky ambient strings, a dark gothic organ, and beautiful vocals.
You can download these new quest mods from here and here.
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.
Last week, we shared a mod that added support for NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 and AMD FSR 4.0 Redstone. Unfortunately, this is a paid mod. Thankfully, though, 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. And finally, we have a mod that makes Skyrim look like a Studio Ghibli-like game.
Have fun!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
