How To Get The Best Mods On 'Skyrim' For PS4 And How To Install Them

Sony has given PlayStation 4 users a 1GB limit for Skyrim Special Edition mods. That is precious space you do not want to waste with pointless mods. With that said, here are five mods you definitely want to use during your Skyrim Special Edition experience on the PS4.

Editor’s note: It does take a bit for the mods to load on Skyrim Special Edition for PS4. However, I have yet to experience any game crashes or extended loading times with any of these mods. If you do experience extended loading times, try switching the order of your mods in the interface. As always, use mods at your own risk. Follow the directions on each mod as some are not compatible with others. I recommend starting a separate file with mods turned on, if possible.

1. Cheat Mod

Hate carry weight restrictions? Need some fast coins? Want to make your own weapons without finding resources? This mod is for you. The cheat mod gives you crafting and alchemy resources as well as A LOT of gold. However, looting and selling is such a fun part of the game, we recommend skipping the gold part. This isn’t The Sims.

2. Ring Of Increased Carry Weight

If you’re a hoarder like me, you’ll want that unlimited space in your pack. Carry weight is annoying; no one has time to deal with that. Loot and scavenge as much as you want when you equip the Ring Of Increased Carry Weight.

Warning: This mod is not compatible with the cheat mod above. It’s one of the other.

3. Cloud Storage

Forgot something in Whiterun, but don’t want to leave Solitude? The cloud storage mod allows you access your weapons from any inn. This is for the lazy people who don’t want to fast travel. It’s okay, we’ve been there.

4. Scroll Crafting

Sometimes you need some magic to get you through a quest, but you don’t want to spend time grinding to get your destruction levels up. That’s where scrolls come in. Don’t buy them! Make them yourself with this mod.

5. Merchants in Inns

SELL! SELL SELL! Get that speech up people, you want fair prices for your goods. This mod will have a vendor at every inn, so if you’re running low on supplies you won’t have to fast travel to another town for goods. It’s a life saver.
