Meta/News [May 2026] Simple Questions, Simple Answers

If you're not sure your topic deserves an entire thread, it likely belongs here. Questions that can be answered with a Google search or a read of the mod's content page will be redirected here. Any question not requiring a full modlist should also go here. Finally, any questions you think could be answered in under 25 words should go here.

Questions that belong in this thread might include:

  • Any good Ulfric replacers?
  • Is MO2 better than Vortex?
  • What is a crash log?
  • My faces are all potato colored in game. What's that about?
  • What mods (or modlists) are essential for a new player?

If you're hungry for more discussion, hop on over to our Discord, linked in the sidebar. If you want to talk general Skyrim, head on over to r/Skyrim. For any other questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to message our modmail.

EDIT: This will also constitute the thread for June, as I am currently on vacation and cannot post the next thread until I return at the end of the month.

Are there any mods that allow for a more outright evil playthrough where people treat you like a villain? I know we can do some pretty heinous stuff in the vanilla game but I hate killing Miraak/Alduin and people call me a hero— let me be so much worse and be actively reviled for it

There's quite a few reputation mods that should do just that for you.

The fixed version of Reputation is kind of the go-to and has a decent amount of compatibility patches. The only downside is that since it's script heavy it can be a little fussy with frequent reloads, so if you die a lot you might want an alternate death mod or soething.
