When the end of the world comes (and it will), I like to imagine that in the midst of all the rubble and chaos, people will still be playing Skyrim. There doesn’t seem to be any way that people won’t tinker with the game and in this instance, we get to see dead technology being revived in order to play TES5. As spotted by PCGamesN, Reddit user nekomichi recently showed that it’s possible to run the game in a Steam Deck (so far so normal) using old iPods as controllers. The clip attached to the post shows it working as…

Even though many of us may see Skyrim as one of the greatest RPGs of all time, there’s no denying that it’s a painfully flawed game. We know this, and that’s why modders are always working to make sure Bethesda’s aging epic maintains some degree of relevancy. This mod in particular is pretty simple, but quite effective. As spotted by PC Gamer, Nexus Mods user wSkeever recently uploaded “Simplicity of Stalking – Automatically Follow NPCs.” As the name suggests, this gives you the ability to follow a character in Skyrim…

If there’s one thing many of us know about Skyrim, it’s that the NPCs are not the brightest around. Enemy AI is usually pretty easy to manipulate, but this one modder decided that better NPC reactions make for a better experience. Back once again with another of their trademark TES5 improvements, Nexus Mods user JaySerpa has made it so Skyrim enemies are a little bit smarter during fights. If you’re the kind of Dragonborn that likes to cheese bandits and the like, you may have to rethink your approaches from now on.…

Just like you probably enjoy getting to choose your own path in real life, you want to have the same freedom in your favorite video game. Open-world games like The Division 2 have only continued to grow in popularity since their release.  While this genre of gaming can be a little intimidating for anyone without tons of experience in gaming, there are plenty of great open-world games to chose from. Ranging from first-person shooter games to RPGs and action-adventure titles, our list will have something for everyone.…

Nexus Mods is something of an institution in the modding circles on PC. Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with ModDB, Nexus is one of the most prolific and popular modding websites, bar none, and this fact is driven home as it reaches a new milestone — 10 billion file downloads in total. According to the latest official announcement from Nexus Mods, the site will reach a grand total of 10,000,000,000 mods downloaded on February 9, 2024. At this time, Nexus supports a whopping 2,683 different moddable games, with almost…

If you’ve never tried a Skyrim mod before – either on PC or console – you are truly missing out. The vanilla release just doesn’t seem to cut it these days for a lot of fans, so the modding community has dedicated itself to making TES5 as brilliant, everlasting, and immersive as all get out. With that in mind, Nexus Mods user JaySerpa is back once more with further Skyrim improvements. This time, they’ve made it so NPCs react to being attacked by one of their friends. The video below shows it in action.…

Skyrim and the whole Elder Scrolls series provides a near-infinite potential for modding. Some fan projects – such as Tamriel Rebuilt – expand on the original games and lore, and one other monstrous endeavor has been making great progress. In the most recent developer video diary, the Skyrim Rebuilt team has shown off the work that’s so far been carried out in expanding Cyrodiil, the region where Oblivion takes place. Over the course of 35 minutes, we get to see exactly what’s been implemented and what’s left to do.…

One tends not to associate the likes of Skyrim with Christmas. Which is surprising, really, given all that snow and burly men with big beards. But with the holiday season upon us, one modder decides to bring yuletide festivities to this cold slice of Tamriel. Back with another addition to your vanilla Skyrim playthrough, veteran modder JaySerpa has just released “The Gift of Saturalia – A Quest for the Holidays.” This mod encapsulates an Elder Scrolls type of winter celebration with a new quest to hopefully get you in…

The modder behind the popular Skyrim Together multiplayer mod has abandoned plans to make a similar mod for Starfield. In a post on the official Skyrim Together discord, the developer on the mod stated that they had “ported about 70% of Skyrim Together reversed code to Starfield Together” and that there was one main problem in their opinion, which was that “this game is fucking trash.” “I didn’t realise this until after I actually started playing the damn game a week after launch. The game is boring, bland, and the main…

Skyrim mods have always been a vital aspect in keeping the aging Elder Scrolls game alive and well. While the vast majority of them are free to download and install, Bethesda is once again interested in keeping some of the higher quality ones back for profit. A recent update for Skyrim was sent out and with it, Bethesda announced Creations, a new way for “players to discover, download and play community-made content.” In a nutshell, it means modders specially picked by the developer can earn a bit of money for their…
