Explore our curated list of over of the best mods for The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.
While survival mode for Skyrim SE was free for its first week, it's now for sale, and I don't have to take the internet's temperature to know that plenty of people are a bit hot about it. Plus, when Bethesda's survival mode for Fallout 4 was released it was and still is free.
There are loads of free survival mods and have been for years, for both the original Skyrim and the Special Edition-most notably Chesko's outstanding Campfire and Frostfall mods-and surely these mods are the inspiration for Skyrim SE's new paid content.
There are also two modes-one that brings mobs of zombies at night, and another that introduces an official survival mode. Creation Club recently arrived for Skyrim Special Edition, and as with Fallout 4 it provides a small selection of weapons and armor available to buy for Skyrim SE.
