This hair mod set comes with options for all races, male and female characters, with 216 new hairstyles.

Personally, I find it quite difficult to get into a playthrough if my character doesn’t look how I want, and hair, for me, is a big part of that. I can’t help it, I just like my female characters to have pretty hair OK, don’t judge me! The vanilla hair textures and styles are both incredibly dull and plain. This is always one of the first mods I install if I’m doing a clean installation of mods, as while it’s subtle, I have also reached a point I can’t play without it.

They will also be worn by others in the world, so this mod doesn’t just affect you as the player character. They are also all craftable and fully customisable. All of these are incredibly immersive and fit seamlessly into the world. It overhauls all the vanilla armours, as well as adding in 55 new sets of armour. If you are like me and are too lazy to download new individual armour sets, then this is the mod for you. But it’s still not quite as good as Sky UI, who is unquestionably the King of Skyrim User Interface mods. If this is also you, the QD Inventory can also work as it doesn’t require SKSE. Sadly, I have a bit of a hard time running it sadly on my copy of Skyrim: Special Edition due to it requiring Skyrim Script Extender. Its ease of access and practical design, makes it five times more enjoyable to use than the standard vanilla UI. Honestly, it is almost as bad as the Oblivion UI, which was specifically designed for consoles! Sky UI is one of the most popular downloaded mods on the Nexus, and for a good reason.

If you are still using the vanilla UI, my heart bleeds for you. So, I thought to celebrate the 8 th birthday of Skyrim, I would count down my favourite 7 must have Skyrim mods, all free to download from Nexus Mods. Believe it or not, the fifth main installment of the Elder Scrolls series, Skyrim, turned eight years old this past week! And yet, the game seems to not be slowing down due to the incredibly enthusiastic and clever modding community.
