It’s built around the massive Requiem Roleplaying Overhaul, which on its own makes Skyrim a much more dangerous place.Ī very nice feature of this release is that it’s using a program called Automaton, which automates the creation and installation of modpacks. The mods it includes add temperature and hunger mechanics, they overhaul the combat system, and generally make the game much more unforgiving. The big focus for Ultimate Skyrim is on roleplaying, and it changes vanilla Skyrim (and bear in mind, this is Skyrim Classic, not the 2016 special edition) into a much more survival-oriented game. Version 4.0 is now available, and it includes a utility that sorts and installs all the mods for you. Ultimate Skyrim is a long-running project that has pulled in dozens of mods to create a total conversion for the game, rebuilding nearly every element of the experience.

Skyrim has been out for more than seven years, but the game has managed to stand the test of time – largely thanks to a dedicated modding community.
