Bethesda tweeted a tidbit today to make our Skyrim-playing console brethren even further jealous: a Thu'um-worthy 13.6 million PC mods have been downloaded to date, through Steam Workshop alone. That's almost as many dragon bones as I have gathering dust in the front cabinet at Breezehome!
In recognition of this colossal milestone, here are some of the most subscribed mods from the last month in Steam Workshop. Also, remember to bookmark our ever-updating list of the 25 best Skyrim mods !
1. Dragon Bone Weapons Complete
lets you craft blunt and pointy objects of all shapes and sizes with them
2. Sabre Cat Companion
3. Dovahkiin Relaxes Too
engage in many of the idle animations previously restricted to NPCs
4. Pure Waters
make all of Skyrim's lakes, streams, and coastlines look nicer
5. Plant Trees
For the environmentally-conscious Dragonborn, this mod adds a new vendor outside of Whiterun selling tree seeds . Once placed in the world, they will sprout as saplings and steadily grow larger over time. Fully-grown trees will even drop seeds of their own, and eventually die.
6. Helmetless Warrior
Is popularity of a mod a good indication of quality? How do you find cool, new mods to spruce up your Skyrim experience?
Bethesda refuses to announce that Oblivion remaster to spite me specifically, so I'm consoling myself with this gamejam based on its terri-brilliant persuasion wheel
GOG's bespoke cut of The Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall gets delisted tomorrow, so you've got a day to grab it for free as the store works out how 'to publish and maintain such projects better' in future
