Bethesda will officially launch Skyrim Special Edition on Oct. 28 with plenty of mods available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. The easiest way to find the mods will be through Bethesda's official site here.
There are currently 25 mods available for the PS4 including a Rich Merchant mod, Scroll crafting and Spell tweaks. Xbox One users can look forward to 97 mods, which include better relationship dialogue, black mage armor, spell tweaks, etc. And PC users have a total of 80 mods available on Bethesda’s website.
Players can expect a lot of ports of older mods to transfer over to Skyrim Special Edition once the game is released. Give the modders some time to upload your favorite mods. Even Bethesda game director Todd Howard told iDigitalTimes he isn’t concerned about modders getting their content out up for Skyrim Special Edition players.
“Our modders, they are awesome developers,” Howard told iDigitalTimes. “They've been doing it with us for a really long time through all our games.”
