Skyrim is an incredibly beloved open-world RPG, and its thriving fan community has contributed a wide variety of mods that allow players to enhance and customize the experience. Bethesda recently decided to get in on the action, adding 13 spooky mods to Skyrim Special Edition as part of a Halloween celebration.

The list of Featured Mods includes new weapons, armor, modified quests, and summonable creatures, among others. Gamers with a taste for seasonal spooks may be pleased to see that everything on the list features something strange, creepy, or downright gory. Off-putting content and imagery seem to be the criteria Bethesda looked for when adding mods to the list, and the additions made to the open world game should prove to be a lot of fun for those looking to get into the Halloween spirit.
