Suddenly, I was freezing to death in Windhelm, penniless and without the resources to craft warmer armour. Things kept happening, and I rarely understood why. And, thanks to an extensive series of combat and difficulty tweaks, every fight was a brutal battle for survival.
And sure, I could have fought through the confusion. But already I knew I was out of my depth. This is a mod list designed for those bored of Skyrim, who want to break it into something weird and deadly. But it's been many years since I last played, and I was quite looking forward to the comforting blanket of nostalgia. I needed a list that was still essentially Skyrim. Just better. I returned to a fresh install, and tried again, this time with something a little more familiar. The Phoenix Flavour is an expertly written guide—clear, easy to follow, and with a careful aim to mostly preserve the vanilla experience.
Rather than picking mods that outright replace existing systems, it focuses instead on improving and overhauling. Obviously there's a swathe of graphical enhancements, but it also features mods that touch nearly every aspect of the game's systems. I still wasn't going to do the work myself.
Once again I turned to the unofficial list on Wabbajack, and let it take care of downloading, configuring and installing the mods the guide uses. The result is exactly what I wanted—familiar, but just different enough to keep me on my toes. In the witch's house outside of Bleak Falls Barrow, I discover a note that I don't remember ever seeing before. It feels like a new mod quest, but I can't be sure. It's been a while since I last played Skyrim—maybe I just missed it before?
Crucially, these moments are rare, and intriguing when they do occur. Obviously the whole thing looks great, but there's also a reassurance in playing something so meticulously crafted. There's a lot about vanilla Skyrim—even the Special Edition version that I'm playing for the first time—that feels rough; like everything is liable to break at any moment.
Logically I know that's even more true of such a heavily modded version, but it feels like I'm in safe hands. There are over mods here, and I know what maybe a handful of them actually do. The effect is I get to assume that one of them has already fixed a quest step that was bugged, or addressed a system that never quite worked as intended—at least until I come across some inexplicably dancing honey nut treats.
It's also still recognisably a product of many different, disparate mods, leading to a few tonal inconsistencies. The female NPCs all look like Instagram models—this is pretty much standard for Skyrim mods—and, in one recent loading screen tooltip, the game informed me that "Your children are safe with me Sure, it would be better if I'd taken the time to figure it out myself—specifically tailoring the experience to my preference. But also I know myself.
I'd have spent more time looking out for conflicts and errors and things I'd done wrong than actually playing the game. Instead, I'm just enjoying Skyrim, being delighted by the many small changes and the incredible tree textures, but also being thankful for all the ways it's still the same.
