    It's still very much possible to make good Skyrim mods "without any use of AI" in 2026, declares the maker of a new DLC-sized Black Marsh expansion

    The latest beefy expansion mod to hit Skyrim is an adventure to the Argonian homeland of Black Marsh, complete with hist trees and humid swamps. Though, its creator seems to be hoping the trip to the southern tip of the mysterious province will do more that just entertain, servin

    I'm not saying Bethesda are trolling me specifically, but Fallout 4 and Skyrim updates are imminent just as I've modded up the latter for the first time in ages

    Right, just a couple more location overhauls and there we go. A fresh Skyrim load order created for my first modded toe-dip into Tamriel for quite a while, outside of grabbing the odd article image. Phew, now to relax and sink another 50 hou-wait. Fallout 4 and Skyrim updates are

    Even a fantasy game like Skyrim won't let me be a trillionaire

    The news that Elon Musk has become the world's first trillionaire, which seems like something the world definitely doesn't need, got me thinking: have I ever even played a videogame that let me be a trillionaire? I've definitely racked up millions of dollars or coins or other mak

    Are these real posts from the r/skyrimmods subreddit, or did I make them up? Take our newest and rudest quiz!

    Skyrim is one of the most modded games of all time, and the r/skyrimmods subreddit is one of the best follows on the internet. Sure, most of the forum posts are people discussing various Skyrim mods, requesting a mod they'd like to see made, or troubleshooting mods they're having

    14 years ago we published our Elder Scrolls 6 wishlist, and honestly? It still holds up

    We've been going back through the PC Gamer vault looking for stories to revisit, reassess, or just have an honest "weren't we naive?" chuckle about, and few have ticked all three boxes as much as our February 2012 "Armchair Designer" column, "Ten things we want to see in Elder Sc

    Skyrim now runs on Fallout 4's Pip-Boy and computer terminals, as modder delivers the one port Bethesda haven't thought of yet

    It had to happen. After getting the original Fallout and Morrowind running as a holotape on Fallout 4 's Pip-Boy and terminals, the same modder has now made Skyrim playable within the game about a frozen snack finding their son and being nagged about settlements. I can only assum

    Rebuilding Morrowind inside Skyrim, huge fan project Skywind now looks like the best way to play

    There's still no end date yet, but I'm really starting to believe. A new Skywind video just gave us a fresh look at the fan project rebuilding the entirety of The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind inside the modern Skyrim engine. Inspired by the "creative risks" of the Bethesda original

    Hero modder gives all of Skyrim's jarls unique sitting poses on their fancy thrones

    Every time I think Skyrim modders can't show me any more, they deliver something new. Take a bow daubuoi, whose Unique Jarl Throne Sitting Animation mod fixes a problem I'd honestly never even noticed: in vanilla Skyrim, you see, there is one throne-sitting animation that is used

    Morrowind helped Bethesda to "stay in business" but Skyrim was the "holy sh*t" moment, says former boss

    When you think about Bethesda games, Skyrim is probably one of the first that comes to mind. Perhaps you've been playing the new Starfield update, or fondly recall your childhood favorite, but Skyrim was something else. The sprawling open-world game defined the genre for a decade

    Bethesda's ex-marketing VP says Skyrim was its first game to make other studios scared of it: 'You have to be concerned about us if you think you're going to win game of the year'

    When did Bethesda become, you know, Bethesda ? That is, when did it become one of those game companies whose every release becomes a ginormous public event? Morrowind ? Oblivion ? Fallout 3 ?.. Read more.

    Skyblivion isn't "dead in the water", the Oblivion remake mod's lead says, a recent call for extra hands is about maintaining "good momentum"

    Earlier this week the team behind Oblivion remake mod Skyblivion put out a call for some "final" and "vital" veteran help to get their work over the line in 2026. Given the mod's delay late last year and the fairly lengthy list of roles the post on Nexus Mods cited the Skyblivion
