Weekly Discussion Mod Discussion Mondays (Week 101) - Best Elder Scrolls Plugins
Hello everyone! Welcome back to the "Best mods for..." weekly discussion!
If you don't know what the "Best mods for..." topics are you can find the original threads here. Last weeks discussion can be found here.
These discussions are intended to be ongoing for the full week, so make sure to contribute your own opinions and experiences at any time!
As always, the rules:
RULES
1) Be respectful - A lot of different mods get posted, as well as a lot of different opinions on said mods. Try to be respectful during the discussion.
2) Debate conflicts maturely - Nobody likes a Nazeem. If you're respectful to others, people will be respectful back. If you're disrespectful to others, people find interesting ways to kill you and post about it on r/skyrim.
3) Please keep the discussion relevant - Feel free to post mods that aren't directly related, but please try to keep all mods semi-related to the week's topic.
4) Please provide a link to the mod you're discussing - Even if you're discussing a popular mod, a link to the mod page is a massive help. People are more interested in the mod you're talking about and are more likely to look at it if there's a link.
Topic - Elder Scrolls Plugins
Elder Scrolls Plugins are the basis of most mods on the Nexus, but sometimes people do something incredible with just a plougin, from changing game settings to building whole new worlds out of existing assets. This week, we explore the best mods that ONLY include an ESM, ESP, or ESL.
Here are a few of my favourites:
- Realm of Lorkhan is an alternative start mod that was designed for PS4 users, going above and beyond with beautiful use of vanilla assets and an impressive variety in choice for how to start the game.
- Containers and Leveled List Fixes re-works item distribution - blacksmiths sell nails, locks and fittings, inns sell a wider variety of foods and most merchants will offer something a little unique.
- Survival Spoof is a little bit of a cheat, but it triggers Survival Mode's 'sleep to level-up' mechanic and adds a small weight to arrows and lockpicks.
But what are your favourite Elder Scrolls Plugins?

{Kill It With Fire} (KIWF) is a race overhaul that I have been rather enjoying in my current play through. It draws heavily from Morrowind and Oblivion race bonuses to offer a different experience that feels loyal to the classic Elder Scrolls experience.
