Description
These are our picks of the best mods that just improve the game. All the clever tweaks, fixes and changes the community have made that we think make Skyrim better. They've been picked to all work together, so you can just click 'Subscribe to all' and they'll all be added to your game.

We're always looking to improve and update our collections, so let us know of anything you think deserves to be added, or if you have any trouble with the mods included here. We'd like it to work for everybody.

We also strongly recommend the SkyUI interface mod, a beautiful overhaul of the game's PC menus. We've only left it out because it requires the Skyrim Script Extender - it's not difficult to install, but we want to keep this main collection hassle-free.

SkyUI download and instructions here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=8122

This included one or two Soundtrack mods and the Realistic Thunder/lightning mod.
The Doctor Aug 7, 2012 @ 12:32pm 
Any "thunder" sound effects need to be redone for any mods that change it. Its causing any 'shouts' that use the thunder sound effect to cause the game to crash, at least from personal experience and what I have seen on other mods.

Sounds of skyrim was taken down for some reason.

I'm sorry but where is Sounds of Skyrim? I hear great things about it but never find it. Thanks

I have seen other larger ones, but they require trimming and cutting and complicated downloads. This is way easier to work with.

Thank you very much for this collection of mods PCGamer. I just wish to note that the SkyUI mod works very happily without the Skyrim script extender, except that a little error box appears in the menu each time you begin the game (but this vanishes if you close then open the menu) and the sorting functionality is disabled. I am very sorry if I am incorrect.

Hello Aluric, I believe that if you press that "Subscribe to all" button (just below the description of the collection), then this collection of mods will download for you when you next open the Skyrim launcher.
