Description
Elder Scrolls Universalis is a total overhaul mod that will take you to the expanses of the fantasy world of the Elder Scrolls. Immerse yourself in the First Era filled with wars and catastrophes. Prove that you are worthy of maintaining your independence, and face down the threat of elves, orcs and humans alike. Conquer Tamriel and hoist your banner on top of the White-Gold Tower. Build the strongest economy through the strength of civic duty, or on the backs of your slaves.

The light of Magnus ushers in a new dawn, and the possibilities are endless. When all is said and done, will your ancestors be smiling down at you?


Experience the world of the Elder Scrolls as never before
Our map is painstakingly hand-crafted to present you with the canvas on which you will paint your Elder Scrolls masterpiece. It covers all of Tamriel, Yokuda, Atmora, and Akavir, and includes many special touches such as custom terrain graphics, 3D landmark models, and other new features like hot springs, volcanoes, and celestial bodies.
Play as familiar characters and countries
Stamp out the Snow Elves and unite Skyrim under a High-King, guide clan Direnni on its path to becoming an Elven superpower, build an empire in Cyrodiil with the White-Gold Tower as its beating heart, and so much more.
Daedric Invasions
Beat back hordes of Daedra and defend Tamriel from total annihilation by the forces of Mehrunes Dagon and Molag Bal.
The Nordic Empire
Become the High-King of Skyrim and find a balance between wielding ultimate authority over your Jarls, and keeping your crown on your head (and your head on your shoulders).
The Empire in Cyrodiil
Build up a great realm in the heart of Tamriel, subjugate your neighbours, and project your imperial might across the entire continent - and beyond.
And so much more...
  • Dozens of custom 3D unit models
  • Hours of soundtrack from composers like Daniel Ran, Fredrik Jonasson, and Scott Buckley
  • A branching Ideas tree with custom Idea Groups
  • Countless flavour events and decisions that fully immerse you in Elder Scrolls lore
  • Custom national ideas and missions (both country-specific and culture-based)
  • Custom estates and institutions that fit seamlessly into the world of the Elder Scrolls
  • Sweetrolls and arrows to the knee
Planned Features
ESU is in active development, and we add new content all the time. Here's a small taste of what's in the works:
  • Many more bookmarks covering Elder Scrolls lore up to the Stormcloak Rebellion
  • More custom, country-specific national ideas and missions
  • A magic system for spells, shouts, vampiric powers, and racial abilities

Thanks for the feedback :) Adding markers for the entrances to Blackreach and Forgotten Vale is a good idea. We already have some dwemer tower models that could be used for that, as long we can make sure they aren't mistaken for the decorative ones. Performance-wise, have you tried using the mod menu to delete far-away regions? You can also use the mod menu to add them back later when you get close to them. The mechanics stuff isn't really my forte, I'll let one of the others speak to that.

I really liked how Skyrim undeground areas are made, but I would add additional markers to the map showing that there is a passage here.
This is my experience with a mod🤔. And like, I dont really get it I guess. I respect the work put in here very much. Well made world wonders, interesting events but looks like the mod needs to be improved.
Napolon Dec 12 @ 3:37pm 
AND FINALY! THE GIANTS! WHY? The classic federations mechanics BUT a lot more reforms and you are not allowed to make a "Unite federation" reform untill having certain society reforms🙈. Considering how slowly the game runs, you'll be playing for about 15 hours before you get them and considering how AI federation members acts (OFFERING THEMSELVES AS VASSALS), there will be noone to unive after 15 hours. By the way, I believe giant units should be strong in exchange for you pulling them out of the primitive state (Like in real Skyrim), but, no, there is basically nothing you can do against neighbors. As a player, you can protect yourself by joining a trading league, but really, good luck defending your federation members that your trading leage are not associated to👍. This is basically completely impossible.
I love playing tribes in vanilla, like Tupinamba or Northtern Indians, but here, Giants in Skyrim are just unplayable.
Napolon Dec 12 @ 3:37pm 
Okay, I understand that a lot of work has gone into this, but In comparecance with Elder Scrolls mod for CK2, for me this is underperforming😓. I dont really like the map this much (Much less resembels terrain in Skyrim), bad performance (The game runs slower with the mod in the very begining than vanilla in 1812, and I just finished S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 on high settings, so, decent PC).
Scripted parts of your state will, without warning or anything you can do, gain independence🤗. Like my capital in Labyrinthian which I spent a lot of money and mana to improve just to have it independent trough event without anything I can do.

There are a lot of weird restrictions, like the one in Nordic HRE that doesn't allow you to integrate wassals before you have penultimate reform. Why?

Yes, we plan to port ESU to EU5. We don't know when we will be finished though, as the process is very slow and complicated.
Chazam Nov 26 @ 12:41pm 
Will this be ported to Europa Universalis V considering it has major advantages in terms of stability?
Aetherum  [author] Nov 16 @ 7:11am 
When I add content to the mod, I add it fully, so I don't have to return to it later. If there is a need to use some religion or culture, it would already be there. That's why, when I was designing religions, all the lore-based religions were added. Same with cultures. Of course, I do revise them every couple of years, but this approach still saves a lot of time.

I will check your save game for the next update of ESU. Cannot promise when, as I am currently focused on EU5, but we plan to release at least one more content update for EU4.

The Atmoran redesign enabled us to allocate more space for provinces, while creating distinctive regions that different cultures could inhabit. Additionally, the new shape of Atmora is more interesting with different fjords and island chains. Finally, we plan to add a new large island to EU5, located between Atmora and Roscrea, so that the new map shape can accommodate it.

"The mod is mainly focused around the first centuries of the First Era, covering the Narfinsel Schism, Alessian Revolt and the Great Schism."

Then why religions and cultures that wouldn't exist in that period? Were they for the old version, and you just never removed them?

"Redguards can migrate to Hammerfell, but they are not forced/encouraged to do this; the same applies to Bretons."

Explains why they never do in my games, but then again, my games crash around the 190's because of the Eight Divines, somehow.

"The Atmoran map was changed due to a variety of reasons, including our plans to redo the mod for EU5."

Such as? It was fine the way it was. Was it a lore reason?



Again, genuinely a great mod. Just asking questions.

I play ironman. I'll send you the save.
