What are the best total conversion mods?

[Atlas32]

I'm looking for mods that make an entirely new game, doesn't have to be big but different enough to be a separate title. I already have Enderal. I'd like something with a Hexen like vibe if possible.

[Alex]

There are no more total conversions. Only big mods like Beyond Reach.

[Skarmo]

There is a list on Nexus https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/26845 showing that Enderal is the only 100% completed total conversion.

Three big story mods integrated into Skyrim are listed as completed, too (I know Wyrmstooth and Falskaar and I can recommend them).

I'm still hoping I will be able to play Skywind (Morrowind remake) some day...

... and Skyblivion ... some day ...

Go play an entirely new game then? Might I suggest Hexen? "I want to take game A and change it into Game B." How do? Lol.

As far as I've seen it should be somewhere in 2025

OP asked for total conversions. Ederal SE is finished, Skywind and Skyblivion are WIP.

Some people are just dumb, fact of life.

One could make the case that Shattered Skyrim is a kind of total conversion.

The setup is that you are not the DB, the DB was beheaded at Helgen, Alduin and the dragons have more or less laid ruin to Skyrim - you are the only survivor.

No quests, no NPCs, no functioning cities or towns…just you exploring and trying to survive in the wilderness.

Its modular though, so there are options to add things like more hostile creatures and monsters, other survivors, and some quests.

Other than that, Enderal is the only mod I know of that’s released and complete and truly turns Skyrim into something else entirely.

Skyblivion and Skywind are in the pipe, but it still could be years before either of those releases (Skyblivion is set for 2025).

Some large new lands mods may appeal to you too if what you’re seeking is new areas, new quests, new NPCs, etc.

Off the top of my head these are some mods that add new world maps and new quests/activities that’ll eat up hours of your time:

Beyond Reach
Wyrmstooth
Falskaar
New Vominheim
Summerset Isles
Grey Cowl of Nocturnal
Midwood Isle
Chanterelle
Beyond Skyrim: Bruma

More!!!

which is best to buy to play for these on GOG or Steam Anniversary or Special edition editions ?

[Altbert]

Although not total conversion (those mentioned by Fear2288), they all free mods. Enderal is the only total conversion mentioned, such as the others created by SureAI for earlier games in the TES series.

A. I literally say that the list at the bottom of my post are “large new lands mods”, not total conversions.

B. I believe what MicroPiggie is asking is whether or not purchasing the standard Special Edition or the “Anniversary Edition” (Special Edition + Anniversary Upgrade DLC bundle) makes a difference.

@MicroPiggie

I’m 99.99% certain that none of the mods I named REQUIRE the Anniversary Upgrade DLC - they should all be playable with just the standard Special Edition of the game.
