Playing with real bows since a few years, arrow speed in Skyrim is disturbing, too slow. I use a recurve and a longbow with 45lb of drawing tension, for an average speed of 209fps. Hunting bow are an average of 60/70lb - for 230/260fps (depend ond arrow weight and spine). Focus matrix 1 0 1. Mar 23, 2020. Rich Merchants of Skyrim: Special Edition. This mod does just what you’d expect. It gives every merchant in the game 10,000 gold so they can finally be able to afford all the junk you’re selling.

Bethesda Game Studio’s iconic fantasy epic is a great game with a ton of content on its own, but with the hard work of a tirelessly hard-working modding community, Skyrim becomes something truly unique.
In this article, we’re going to run down some of the best, most interesting, and most essential mods that Skyrim has to offer.
How do I install Skyrim mods?
There a few ways to install and manage your mods for Skyrim, and how you do it depends on which version of Skyrim you have. The Special Edition includes tools for searching for, installing and managing mods all built into the game. You can access it all from the main menu and it allows you to find and install new mods and update old ones without closing the game.
We have also compiled some of the best Minecraft mods of 2019 right now. Check this
If you have the original version of Skyrim, then your best bet is using a third party mod manager such as Nexus Mod Manager. This software allows you to easily install and update mods and handily keep them all in one place. Of course, you could always install mods manually into the game’s directory, but third-party managers make it quicker and simpler.
26 Best Skyrim Mods You Need To Check Out
1. SkyUI
SkyUI is an excellent mod that overhauls the game’s original cumbersome inventory. It makes the UI much easier to navigate and is much more appropriate for the many, many, many items, weapons and random objects you’ll be picking up. It may also be a good introduction to the Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE), a tool that expands the capabilities of mods and allows you to make more dramatic changes to the game.
2. Static Mesh Improvement Mod
The Static Mesh Improvement Mod is a graphical mod that simply makes the game’s static 3D models look nicer. It’s no secret that Skyrim’s graphics haven’t exactly aged well in the 7 years since its original release and this is one of countless mods that attempt to alleviate that problem one bit at a time. An essential mod for anyone trying to make Skyrim look as not-bad as possible.
3. Total Character Makeover
Total Character Makeover is a mod that aims to make the character models of Skyrim look a bit more aesthetically-pleasing and less muddy and rough. The faces of Skyrim have always been a little on the ugly side, and this mod gives the NPCs and the player avatar some improved resolutions without ruining your frame rate. Featuring complete overhauls for texture sets for all races, improved teeth textures, eyebrow textures, beard textures, and even high resolution makeup, warpaint, dirt, freckles, and scars. This mod will improve detail on your characters while remaining consistent with vanilla looks.
4. Opening Scene Overhaul
The Opening Scene Overhaul mod restores some lines that were cut by Bethesda but can still be found in the game’s files. It adds additional carriage dialogue, and offers some deeper insight into the world you’re about to explore. It also gives you the option of escaping with Ulfric himself if you decide to side with the Stormcloaks. This is a great mod if you think that Skyrim’s opening sequences were a little underwhelming. This mod has new voice actors, more dialogue and different conversations with lasting impact on the game. A great mod for fresh immersive experience.
5. Open Cities
The Open Cities mod curbs the immersion-breaking loading screens that hit you whenever you enter a city, and aims to give the game a more Morrowind like feel. Stroll through cities on horseback and come and go as you please. This gives the world a much more open and natural experience, allowing new gameplay opportunities like riding a horse into the center of the new open cities! There are plenty of new battle and conversation interactions that can be had, and none of these will be interrupted with any pesky loading screens. A great mod to help make the world of Skyrim more seamless and connected.
6. Alternative Start
The Alternative Start mod offers a different start for new characters. It’s the ideal mod for players who have experienced the original Skyrim opening more than enough times for one lifetime. A fun and unique role-playing mod, this mod is a great way to mix things up a bit if you have to start again with Special Edition, or simply want to make a new character.
7. Diverse Dragons Collection
This very cool mod overhauls the dragons you’ll encounter in Skyrim. The original game featured a small variety of dragon designs and the fights quickly become repetitive and underwhelming. The Diverse Dragons Collection adds a staggering 28 new dragons, each boasting their own big dicks. It also features a variety of new dragon breaths and abilities to make the fights more interesting, as well as new ranks for the dragons intended to make the encounters scale with your level.
8. Achievements Mod Enabler
This mod is pretty straightforward. It allows you to earn achievements when using mods. It does this by patching Skyrim SE during its runtime. This will work on any version of Skyrim as it was designed to be version independent. You also do not have to worry if you already have modded before installing this, it also works on saves that have already been modded. Using mods doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re cheating, so why shouldn’t you be able to earn achievements whilst modding the game? Who plays Skyrim without mods, anyway?
9. Skyrim Flora Overhaul
Another nice graphical overhaul mod, the Skyrim Flora Overhaul mod replaces most of the game’s trees, grass and plants with original models, including 16 new trees and more than 180 new textures for ground cover and plants. Houdahspot 3 8 7 – advanced front end for spotlight. This mod adds a lot more variety of flora, and they are all better looking and unique. It comes with a lot of support from the creator, with installation guides and lots of Frequently Asked Questions to help with any issues you may have. One more essential mod for players looking for the prettiest Skyrim possible.
10. Surreal Lighting
Surreal Lighting adds a bit of wonder to the landscapes of Skyrim, helping to make it feel more fantasy and less ordinary. Helps to make Skyrim more colourful and vibrant. This mod helps to alleviate the often depressing look of Skyrim, and makes it much more pleasant to play. There is also a handy video to show the detail of this mod and no per-requirements are necessary to download and install this mod.
11. Interesting NPCs
Interesting NPCs adds some variety to Skyrim’s oft-bland and lifeless NPCs, most of which, if they don’t have a quest for you, will just spout generic lines that you’ll hear repeated over and over again. This mod adds a whole host of new characters, all with their own back stories, unique lines, and (most importantly) new voice acting that is (mostly) high quality. In total the content added by this mod is quite plentiful, with over 250+ fully voiced NPCs, 25+ followers, 15+ marriage NPCs, and 50+ quests as well. This is a great mod to add a lot of new feel and life to the game of Skyrim through these characters and all these characters are well integrated into the game. Overall a great mod for increased immersion and content.
12. The Forgotten City
This mod resembles something more akin to a Bethesda DLC expansion. The Forgotten City is a murder mystery set in the titular Forgotten City. It offers around 8 hours of gameplay and some high-quality writing that won a national Writer’s Guild award. It’s a very unique mod that’s well worth checking out. Featuring a very interactive story line where the player can explore the forgotten city and work through many challenging decisions. It has different endings based on what you decide to do, original music and even custom dialogue by professional voice actors. A truly amazing work of art for all Skyrim players to enjoy.
13. Way of the Monk – Unarmed Overhaul
This Unarmed Overhaul mod does exactly that. It overhauls unarmed combat in an attempt to make it a viable play style. Featuring two new skill trees, Unarmed and Unarmoured, as well as a variety of related perks and equipment, it allows players to roll a Monk-like character and discover their inner zen. It also adds new enchantments, enemies and locations to the game. This mod has had a ton of work put into it (500+ hours) and completely adds a new way to play the game. A great mod with a ton of detail that is worth checking out!
14. Duel – Combat Realism
Duel is a mod that aims to fix the unrealistic combat system in Skyrim and completely change the way you play. It makes the player pay close attention to their stamina bar in order to survive, it ties in your weapons and armour to bring added realism, it changes how archery works, and more. If you’re looking for a dramatically different combat experience in Skyrim, Duel is your best bet.
15. Apocalypse – Magic of Skyrim
Apocalypse is a much-needed overhaul of the magic in Skyrim. Any fan of mages in RPGs is more than aware of how underwhelming magic is in Skyrim. This mod introduces 140 new spells that give you a large variety of new ways to tackle your enemies. These spells aren’t just the usual hold down spray of fire/cold/lightning until enemy dies and then rinse/repeat, this mod includes disables, summons, and a number of other cool surprises. Essential if you want to play a mage without getting bored.
16. Sneak Tools
Sneak Tools is a mod that aims to make the stealth more dynamic than simply staying in the shadows and getting bonus sneak attack damage. This mod allows you to slit throats, knock out enemies from behind, wear masks that hide your identity. Douse torches and lanterns to move through the shadows. Add an arsenal of trick arrows, including one that launches ropes that allows you to climb walls. Sneak Tools gives Skyrim a touch of Thief to make it’s stealth more interesting.
17. Falskaar
The Falskaar mod is one of the most impressive and comprehensive mods you’ll find for Skyrim. It’s essentially the size of an official expansion and introduces a new continent with an incredible 25 hours of new material. The creator of this mod took around 2000 hours to make it and now works at Bungie. The continent introduces a huge variety of new quests, wildlife, and a gorgeous landscape. Falskaar is an amazing achievement in modding and is a must-try for any Skyrim fan.
18. Skyrim Redone
Skyrim Redone is the mod of all mods for Skyrim. A true overhaul in the most literal sense, this monumental package of mods brings together a variety of different mods to give the game a massive makeover. It overhauls every aspect of the game, from perks and skills to the character stats and more, and even includes some more unique things like a grappling hook and disguises. It’s such a complex mod that it can be a bit of a pain to get working properly, but once you get it all up and running it’s the truly definitive modding experience for Skyrim.
19. Immersive Patrols
Immersive Patrols is a mod that creates a series of patrols for the factions of Skyrim: Stormcloak, Imperial, Thalmor, Dawnguard, Bandits, and so on. These routes will sometimes cross paths, leading to some violent clashes between the factions and offering more of the emergent chaos that we all love to watch.
20. The Gate of Solitude
A huge oblivion content mod that adds a whole new questline to Oblivion, playing off of the Oblivion gates from the main storyline. It recommends you be at least level 35, and the creator suggests playing on Master difficulty for the best experience. It’s a hard and challenging load of content that’s sure to be a fun and interesting experience for experienced Oblivion player who have tired out the rest of the game’s content and its expansions.
Download here.
21. Skyrim HD – 2k Textures
Skyrim HD is the most downloaded texture mod of all time for Skyrim. This is a comprehensive visual texture mod that replaces over 600 textures and maps across all of Skyrim. It covers landscapes, architecture, sky, water, clothes, clutter, dungeons and more (including some DLC). It is a mod that has been worked on for thousands of hours, and is constantly being updated with new things. It is truly a magnificent experience after downloading this mod and I highly recommend it to any Skyrim players interested in a brighter, more colorful world.
22. Fores New Idles in Skyrim – FNIS
Fores New Idles in Skyrim is a mod that allows Skyrim to have custom animations added into the game. This includes different types of animation such as idles/poses, sequenced animations, furniture, paired animations, killmoves, creatures, and more. If you add the demonstration mod FNIS Spells, then you can basically use any animation file in the game. Dance animations are also included and that is one of my personal favorite features of this mod. This is a mod that has been updated into 2019 and has lots of support regarding bug fixes and installation help. A must add for improved Skyrim gameplay.
23. ApachiiSkyHair
ApachiiSkyHair is a great customization mod for Skyrim that allows you to have new and improved hairstyles for males and females of different races. This includes Humans, Elves, and Orcs. Cooley law pep program. This mod allows you to change the hairstyle on your existing characters and even on NPCs if you want. With over 216 new hairstyles that have been converted from other games like the Sims, Oblivion and Witcher, it adds a great new personalization aspect to Skyrim that brightens up your whole experience!
24. Immersive Armors
Immersive Armors is a mod that aims to essentially overhaul the existing armor system in Skyrim. It does this by increasing the variety of armor, all while making sure the armor sets are still able to be fit into the lore, game balance and general feel of Skyrim that you would typically expect. This helps to provide new content while remaining immersive for the player since it is all seamlessly integrated. In total it adds 55 new sets of armor with many different variants, tons of helmet variety, 396 new shields, and other cosmetics such as eye patches and capes. Overall a great mod that is compatible with most other mods.
25. A Quality World Map and Solstheim Map – with Roads
Quality world map is a large one, with massive quality improvements to the world map, including the accurate hand-drawn roads. This mod gives you the option to filter your map, with only main roads or remain with all roads. This mod includes highly-detailed map textures, which has two different styles: Vivid and Classic. Vivid provides more detailed textures and stone and flat roads, while the Classic style includes similar detail but a more classic Skyrim feel to it. Quality world map mod also has paper maps included, with incredible detail. Overall a fantastic mod that overhauls the world map system and makes it much more detailed. Give it a try!

Notes[edit]
![Skyrim special edition bow mods Skyrim special edition bow mods](https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/images/110/3771259-1342613247.jpg)
- Sometimes it is beneficial to use only part of the total training allotment for each level. Because training counts towards the next level progression, training too much may cause the player to skip one or more levels, essentially wasting those training sessions. Saving the game before training can allow the player to train the maximum number of times without going over.
- The best time to train a skill, to provide the maximum increase to your overall character level, is when you have levelled up to the next level.
- Angi will offer you free practice at her home. You can increase your Archery skill by up to six levels if you accept. It is possible to max out Archery to 100 if you accept the quest with an archery level of 94.
- The list of trainers in the Official Game Guide incorrectly identifies several people as trainers: Ahkari (Pickpocket), Hermir Strong-Heart (Heavy Armor), and Melaran (Alteration) do not provide training.
- The cost for having a skill trained is calculated using the below formulas, based on your current skill level (not the level you are going to). Price adjustment effects, such as speechcraft level, persuasion level, and enhancements such as Fortify Persuasion and Fortify Barter, do not affect trainers' rates.
- For advancement of skills less than or equal to 50:
- n(10b + 5n + 45)
- For advancement of skills greater than 50:
- n(30b + 15n + 35)
- For advancement of skills greater than 75:
- n(50b + 25n + 25)
- Where n is the number of times you wish to train and b is the current level of the skill. E.g.: If you wish to train a particular skill from level 20 to 50 (b = 20 and n = 50-20 = 30) the combined cost (250+260+270+..+540) would be 30(10*20 + 5*30 + 45) = 11850.
- For advancement of skills less than or equal to 50:
- Training benefits from Sleeping and Standing Stone bonuses, though the XP so acquired will never result in advancing more than one level.
- If you are ready to level up, but do not do so, the 'Times Trained This Level' stat, accessible through the Journal, will not reset.
- Trainers that double as followers can train you for 'free'. They will still charge you, but you can get back the gold you spent by checking their inventory.
- This issue has been addressed by version 1.2.6 of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch; the exploit is no longer possible.
- All trainers put the gold you pay them into their personal inventory. If they are also merchants, then the gold in their personal inventory is added to the gold they use to barter with. However, most merchants have a cap on their personal gold which is put into effect when you enter their stores, so if you leave the store and come back later, the gold will have disappeared. Notable exceptions to this are the merchant trainers added by the Dawnguard add-on.
- You can get back the gold spent on training if you pickpocket the trainer and steal the gold. That way, you will gain experience for Pickpocket and for the skill you trained, leveling up very quickly (Pickpocket will increase several levels at once if you steal a large amount of gold, but be sure of saving game before trying because your odds of success will be low). If you've spent so much money on training, maybe there will be too much gold and the odds of pickpocketing will be zero; you can increase it fortifying Pickpocket skill with potions, spells or enchanted gear. You can also bypass this by stealing the gold after every single session, instead of stealing it all after the five sessions allowed for level. Note that with the Unofficial Skyrim Patch the trainers that double as followers won't put the gold spent on training into their inventory, so you won't be able to pickpocket it from them.
- Gold can be pickpocketed back after training sessions, but this becomes impossible at higher levels (even with maximum Pickpocket and Sneak skills) as the amount of gold paid is often in the thousands. This can be surmounted by knocking down the trainer in some way, and then pickpocketing the gold back while they are on the ground. You can pickpocket anything in a knocked down NPC's inventory with no bounty, even if the chance of success appears to be 0%. To knock down an NPC, use Unrelenting Force with all three power words (or Ice Form), do a power attack with a two-handed weapon (you may receive bounty), or, with the 'Poisoned' perk, reverse-pickpocket a paralysis poison into their inventory. It is possible to prevent a crime being charged against the Dragonborn by first joining the appropriate organization and then performing this on a trainer who is a fellow member (for example, the player can join the Thieves Guild and use this method on Vex or Delvin).
- Some trainers will continue to offer the dialogue option to train even if you've passed the skill level at which they can train you. Choosing this dialogue option in this circumstance will cause them to say things such as 'You already know all that I know.'

Bugs[edit]
Skyrim Special Edition Best Bow Mods
- If you have an active Fortify Skill effect, the cost of training will appear to be for the increased skill. However, the trainer will only take the price for training at your actual skill level.
- If a skill has some progress toward its next level, the training progress bar will fill and then empty. However, checking the Skills menu shows the initial progress was not lost.
- If a skill is at 0% progress to its next level before you start training it, a purchased level may fail to actually increase the skill even though you paid for it and it used up one of your five training opportunities This appears to be because training does not add all of the experience needed to fill up the bar completely, so the bar will not fill up sufficiently to trigger a skill increase in one training session if it is completely empty.
- You can use, for example,
advskill block 1
to get your proper Block level.
- You can use, for example,
- If you load a character which has used trainers since last leveling, and then quit to the main menu and start a new game, the game does not clear your new character's training stat and if you seek to use a trainer at level 1, you will be told that you have used however many training sessions the previously loaded character had used.
