“Ace Blood Magic” Mod #16

This amazing spell mod made by Elias555 is here to make some awesome additions to your spellbook! Download it on Nexus!

Ace Blood Magic, this mod not only brings you wonderful spells and their crimson effects but allows you to appropriately build a balanced character that bases their skills on utilizing blood magic.

Personally, I like how there is blood magic in almost every school, destruction being one that you’ll probably use the most as it has some pretty important abilities and post-effects.

As you might have guessed, the spells are not just “shoot and damage” because each of them has a specific purpose, yet allows you to chain them differently according to your character.

Overall, this is a great mod and definitely deserves your attention, download link and credits mentioned above.

“Floating Damage” Mod #15

As stated on the page by Felisky384, the creator of this great mod, it will show you how much damage is dealt on actors, making it so that numbers appear above NPC when they take damage.

This is convenient if you wish to track damage dealt to your enemies, for testing or any other purpose. Personally, while I don’t prefer to see this for immersion purposes, it has been a neat addition when testing spell mods and weapon mods for balance, and for that reason, I decided to post it.

If this is your cup of tea in your usual gameplay, I suggest you download it by following this link!

“Arcanum - A New Age of Magic” Mod #13

This awesome mod is brought to you by noptasis and those who have contributed to Arcanum on Nexus.

Arcanum is a spell mod with around a hundred of new spells to enrichen and spice the gameplay up for your magic-oriented builds. 

• “...inspired by everything from Dragon's Dogma to Planescape, Arcanum may be the most ambitious magic mod ever made. “ ~ The author states.

Not only does it add new spells to your game, but, unlike many other spell-mods, this one actually has vastly creative custom visual effects.

But that isn’t all, because, with this mod, you won’t be stuck casting one spell through most of your game. It will offer you an array of combos, thus never leaving you bored with that single overpowered ability that allows you to decimate everyone around you. It will make you think before you cast, get used to techniques and how to gain certain effects. 

Great mod, we’re lucky to have it. You can download it on Nexus!

“Elemental Apocalypse Magic” Mod #12

Check out this mod by Myst and GenioMaestro on Nexus!

Elemental Apocalypse Magic mod is here to change your perception of destruction school and show you what magic can really do. The authors have done an amazing job with these effects, especially considering that these effects depend on many factors, some of them being critical hits, expert spells, and instant-kill as well!

These are configurable in your MCM, so you can always change your mind when it comes to these effects, as there are some nice options. However, this is not all, EAM also features cooking, raw meat is no longer a mage’s problem.

Though this mod requires you to have SKSE and both Dawnguard and Dragonborn, what it does with how spell-effects appear and actually influence the world around you is amazing.

“Fashion Suede Gloves and Boots” Mod #11

Creator: Anduniel - Follow this Nexus page link to download this awesome mod!

If you’re tired of having to wear those old gloves and boots, this mod is for you. Anduniel brings some lively color to your Skyrim with these sets, for both male and female characters.

The gloves seem to have a sort of Celtic decoration, which lets them fit in well, especially if you’re using other custom robes mods.

As you can see, these are very colorful and lush, as the author stated. Personally, I like how they appear, though if you don’t share the sentiment, do not be alarmed. 

Anduniel offers a neat solution and has provided an optional texture replacer. This replacer will reduce the saturation of all items included in this mod by 25%, for those of you who don’t favor the original coloring!

“Extensible Follower Framework” Mod #10

This mod is created by Expired and uploaded by expired6978 on Nexus Mods.

Extensible Follower Framework, or more commonly known as EFF provides variety of options for your both custom and vanilla followers, such as changing their equipment, residence and much, much more.

First thing to know about it, when you activate your followers (Press “E” while targeting them) you will be provided with a command wheel. It’s easy and practical to use. The first wheel will have some of the most essential, most used commands and if you still need to change something about your hirelings, the section “More” on the wheel should satisfy your needs.

Features

-Recruit up to 100 followers at once (set PlayerFollowerMaximum to X where X is anything lower than 100) -Follower commands are executed via menu rather than dialogue (This means they can be commanded while in combat) (Optional) -Extra commands can be accessed through dialogue if menu is off -Followers stats can be displayed and are categorized -Followers mount horses if they own one and you are riding one -Followers can "collect" or "harvest" specific item types when told to -Followers will ride their horse to go "collect" if they own one -Followers can "relax" or "sandbox" at point of command -Followers outfit can be "set" from a list of basic outfits, or you can set to none and give them whatever you want -Followers stats can be "updated" via the "Train" command -Followers combat style can be changed to "Default", "Archer", "Berserker", "Mage", "Thief", or "Warrior" -Followers can dual wield -Followers "Residence" can be set to anywhere the follower is standing -Followers can be assigned to be "Default", "Protected", or "Essential" -Any available command can also be applied to the entire group at once -Outfits will "persist" using SKSE when you dismiss, relax, or wait a follower

If You ever wanted to dress your followers, teach them spells, and a lot more, I highly recommend this mod.

“Clockwork (Clockwork Castle)” Mod #9

Mod created by  Antistar on Nexus. (Very light spoilers ahead.)

Clockwork Castle - A quest mod with great story hiding in the depths of the mountains. The quest will start with a bandit wanting wanting to rob you, after you eliminate him, you can find a note in his belongings which should start you off immediately. 

While there isn’t a lot of choices you can make, after you finish the main quest, you can get this beautiful castle to call your home, a steward and a good translocation machine which will allow you to instantly traverse through holds of Skyrim and Clockwork Castle.

Voice acting is very good, you can definitely hear the characters due to their robotic voice, the author has made sure that the characters introduce you to their story and how they came to be, as well support you on your mission with information you’ll need. 

There isn’t an excessive hand-holding through the quest - which is very good, you can easily find what you need to progress further. The markers can sometimes be confusing, therefore you’ll need to use your brains for a bit and think. 

I should also mention that the furnishings in the castle are quite amazing, and bring that old - gold feeling.

Without further spoilers, this is a great mod, very nice constructed & twisted story.

“Maids II - Deception” Mod #8

Mod created by “Enter_77“ on Nexus.

This mod draws back it’s roots from Oblivion - The story is complex, unpredictable and simply well done. There’s something in this masterpiece that makes you want to experience it all over again.

Voice Actors - This segment is just great, every single tone/word/sentence that these voice actors produced is doubtlessly flawless.

Another good thing is that there are lots of choices you make in the game, and they affect further progress - really brings out immersion and free will.

Lots of plot-twists, hints and acknowledgement of your character being a dragonborn, something I appreciate.

As you dive deeper in the essence of this mod, you discover that it only gets better with each minute spent playing it - it will take you to adventures you’d never expect, bond with characters and simply bring a hell of a good and well spent time. The author did a great job, and so did the other contributors.

“Immersive Patrols“ Mod #7

Mod by “Scrabbulor“ on Nexus.

As you might guess, Immersive Patrols adds more groups of some factions to roam through Skyrim, it includes: “...every major faction across all DLCs, including Stormcloaks, Thalmor, Imperials, Dawnguard, Travelers, Merchants, Bandits, Skaal, Redoran, Reavers and Rieklings without cluttering the world. Now also includes Warzones like battles with fort capture behavior.” ~ “Scrabbulor” mentioned.

It is very impressive that this mod does not use any scripts so you are able to remove it without stressing if you were going to break the game.

There is also a version of this mod for Special Edition which I will provide link to.

Patrols will eventually respawn if slain.

“Cloaks of Skyrim” Mod #6

This mod is created & uploaded by “Noodles” on Nexus Mods.

For a start, I think most of you know about this mod as it is quite popular on Nexus, however, I’d like to acknowledge it’s greatness through this post. For those of you who may not know of this mod, it basically adds cloaks to the game, you are able to find them, acquire them via crafting and such. As the author mentioned, they are lore-friendly and enchantable.

There are around 100 cloaks in the game, so you can find a variety of them in the world, through your travels and adventures.

Personally, I really liked the addition of cloaks in the game, it adds more immersion as the cloaks are completely reasonable there.

“Trainers Guild for Aspiring Mages” Mod #5

This great mod was uploaded by “Afflixtion” on Nexus.

Trainers guild adds a new place in Whiterun, magic oriented. It adds new NPCs from which you are able to buy or sell items, The Illusion trainer (Khajit) also buys stolen items.

Each school has it’s own master which trains, buys and sells items, mostly tomes, books, soul gems and such. Alchemy trainer also exists.

This mod also adds a room for a player which he/she can buy from the Alchemy Master.

Trainers also walk through Whiterun from time to time so don't be surprised or worried that there's a bug or something alike.

“The Choice is Yours - Fewer Forced Quests - Improved Dialogue Options” - Mod #4

This mod is uploaded on nexusmods.com by “kryptopyr”

As you may know by now, in Skyrim you often auto-accept quests that you may not want to do at the moment, or ever. So this mod gives you the option to simply decline the task that the NPC is offering you.

This is so well done, we’ve all had experiences with quests that we didn’t want, like being forced to accept the quest of the daedric prince Clavicus Vile in the middle of the main quest.

Known bugs are mostly connected with The Aetherium Wars which does not trigger the message to ignore the quests.

So, to sum it all up, this mod is well done besides the few bugs stated up there, giving you more choice and freedom in the game.

Smart Souls - Mod #3

This mod is released by “shademe” on Nexus

What this mod does to the game is this: it keeps away the lesser souls enter a grand soul gem and by that prevents you from wasting your soul gems for nothing.

It is a great addition to the game, though it requires SKSE or (Skyrim Script Extender) it does a really good job saving the players time and increasing the game experience for a bit. 

It should be good to note this statement by the author of this mod:

“Just pop it in and run the game through the SKSE launcher. The INI file will be created on first-run, in the same folder as the plugin. Specific soul gems can be allowed to store lower quality souls by adding their formIDs to the INI, like so: [AzurasStarImposters] GrandSoulGemVanilla=0006AB34 GreaterSoulGemFromSomeMod=000084AC“

“PRETTY GEMS” - Mod #2

As I always do and I will, credits go to “dailyplanet” on Nexus

As obvious as it could be, this is a mod that completely changes the view on gems in Skyrim. They have a specter of reflections and you may notice in game, as I did. Though this mod is not compatible with any other that changes the meshes of gems in the game, in my opinion, it is the best one done yet.

The author also released both 1K texture and the vanilla version for those who didn’t like it, but there’s hardly a chance for that to happen cause with this mod, every gem looks completely flawless. Both garnet and flawless garnet aren’t changed, as the author stated, it is still a good mod that is, in my opinion, the best one that changes textures of the gems so far.

“IMMENSE MAGIC” - Mod #1

To give the credits at the start, this mod is uploaded by “Dovakiindragonbornlord” on http://www.nexusmods.com and supposedly this is an author of this mod as it isn’t mentioned.

To open the path to describing this mod, it should be mentioned that this mod belongs to the magical segment as it adds new spells to the world. Mostly there are conjuration spells that are, simply to put, really awesome. Though it is mentioned that the mod is in alpha version, I have a really good feeling that the author has a really precise perception of what kind of spells player would wish for in his/her Skyrim.

There are a few spells that should be noted:

- Conjure Centurion - Conjure Dragur - Restore Stamina - Lightning Bolt Volley

These are just a very few spells compared to the whole addition. It has just one little mistake. All the spells are found in one new dungeon, but there is a note by the uploader/author that this will be worked on which, with the minimum of doubt will be great.

To sum everything up, this is a great mod and it definitely deserves a chance.
