If you’re not terribly concerned with realism and challenge in Skyrim’s combat, the God Gear mod will give you access to powerful weapons with myriad enchantments. This mod is better suited for people interested in alchemy and other specializations that don’t require heavy items. Armor and weapons, however, will also have more realistic weights, so it won’t be easy to carry a lot of them. This mod attaches more realistic weight properties to the items you carry, theoretically allowing you to carry more items. Hey, it beats player tips you already know about repeating for the thousandth time. This mod introduces all-new loading screens with small pieces of lore pulled from books found in-game. You’ll spend a lot of time looking at loading screens in Skyrim, so you might as well use them as an opportunity to learn more about the world of Tamriel.
It’s a small change, but being pretty is something Skyrim excels in. Rain & Snow FX adds smaller details to your character model, including icy effects and wetness when characters get out of the water. This mod introduces some small changes, but they go a long way in helping boost immersion in the environment.
