Two new quest mods have been released for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Special Edition. The first mod brings a Gothic-inspired quest mod. The second one overhauls the Thieves Guild questline. So, let’s take a closer look at them.
Let’s start with The Truth of the Old Cathedral. This is a short adventure that will see the player visit and explore the grounds surrounding a Gothic Cathedral.
Its gameplay is a mixture of combat and puzzle solving. When in combat, players will have to keep moving and not let themselves be surrounded. For puzzles, you can take your time and pay attention to the clues given. You’ll have to keep your eyes open for readable plaques and tablets.
As the modder noted, the area is not designed to be a player home. As such, you should not store any of your items in any of the containers.
You can go ahead and download the mod from this link.
The second mod is a complete overhaul of the Thieves Guild questline. It brings new dialogue lines voiced with spliced vanilla lines, as well as new and alternate scenes to account for your choices.
It is also worth noting that the mod makes all main and side characters fully killable at any point. This includes Mercer, Brynjolf, Karliah, Brand-Shei, Madesi, Keerava, Bersi, Haelga, Sabjorn, Mallus Maccius, Gulum-Ei, and many others.
Most quest items can now be found from the start of the game and can be misplaced. This has direct consequences on the quest where these items are involved. Not only that, but there are now brand new choices throughout most of the quests to truly role-play.
All in all, this is a cool mod that will alter the Thieves Guild questline. Those who have experienced it will now have another reason to complete it in their second or third playthrough. You can download it from this link.
Speaking of Skyrim Special Edition, here are some other mods for it. Let’s start with some big fan expansions that add new free content to the game. 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. This mod adds 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. Sigil of the Fallen is another DLC-sized fan expansion. Plus, 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. So, if you want to be the “very best”, you should try it.
In January 2026, 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 an 112GB Mod that remasters all 32,000 textures to 8K.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
