UPDATED JULY 23, 2015:Check out my new female body mesh mods comparison here!
I’m a little late to the Skyrim modding party, but I’ve been spending the last couple weeks modding the shit out of my game and now I’m ready to share some of my testing results! I’m one of those gamers who will spend LITERALLY AN HOUR on the character creation screen trying to create the perfect virtual embodiment of my avatar. As a result, I’ve downloaded and tested nearly every popular mod for the Skyrim character creator and here are the best of the best, IMO:
Female Body Types
The first thing before even getting to the character’s face is to choose a body. It took a while to figure out the differences between UNP, UNPB, CBBE, and all the other acronym-ed body types but here’s what I have:
1. Dimonized UNP
UNP comes in three variations – standard, skinny/slim, and blessed.
UNP (standard) – This is one of my favorite body meshes for females! I think the body proportions are beautiful and the boobs don’t look like ridiculous clown tits. I’m also pretty sure that there are more UNP-compatible armor mods out there than any other body mesh.
UNP Skinny/slim – The skinny version looks pretty much just like the standard version except with smaller boobs.
“Blessed” also known as UNPB – This is like the standard version but MUCH more voluptuous. I know some girls find this mod disgusting, but I think it’s beautiful. The breasts look huge but not like plastic implants – very Boticelli :)
2. Caliente’s Beautiful Bodies Edition CBBE
CBBE is a more voluptuous body (read: bigger boobs, bigger butt, same size waist, ha!). It is possibly the most popular body mod. There are a ton of armor mods out there for CBBE, but sadly many of them are super skimpy!
CBBE comes in two variations – slim and curvy. CBBE breasts look more “fake” than UNP from the front, but more “real” than UNP from the side.
3. Fitness body
I really like this mod for a more athletic look, even though all it does is remind me that I should be exercising and not playing Skyrim ;) You can install this mod over whichever body mesh you prefer – vanilla, UNP, CBBE, etc.
4. Bounce Kits
No female body mod is complete without realistic boob jiggle physics, obviously. You’ll need the following mods:
- You’ll also need your body mesh to have a skeleton that supports HDT. If you’re like me and like UNP, you can use this mesh by Turbosundance!
That’s it for my favorite female body mods. Keep reading to see my favorite female face texture mods, or skip ahead to my other Skyrim modding posts!
What’s your favorite female body mesh for Skyrim? How do you feel about the controversial bounce kits? Let me know in comments!

- By Jobobby04This is Tera Armors V1.7 for Sassy Teen Dolls. All credits go to the original mod here: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/9651
I have extracted the Helens Tera Armors npc from the modified version of this file included in Helens Outfitters FOMOD. I suggest you get this addon if you are using my Tera Armors version, not the one included in Helens Outfitters. I made the Helens Outfitters addon so people could update with me, and not rely on Helens Outfitters updating their modified version of this file, just so they would be able to buy it at Helens.
It is fully standalone and will work together with the original mod. It also has physics for those using CBP, CBPC, or HDT. The requirements are as follows
Install Groovtama's XPMS Extended Install CBBE (It may work with UNP but it is untested) Install a physics mod such as CBPC or HDT Physics (you'll have to find this one outside of the Nexus). Install Tera Armors for Teens. To get them: Use commands, use AddItemMenu Mod, or craft them. - By SchakenFinally, Sassy Teen Dolls!

Have you ever felt that Skyrim lacks age variations? Well i have found a way to solve this. Every city, town, village will now have teenage boys and girls, mostly custom armors, custom body's, custom textures, Custom voices, Custom outfits to fit the new body's. While traveling you will find a total of 228 teens, a few will love to accompany you on quests, some are Friendly and (yes, you guessed it) Sassy! Obviously, my initial intention was to expand 'Sassy Teen Girls' as we all watched that mod disappear. but after messing with everything, I had realized, nothing of the original mod was left, so this was greatly inspired by the long gone mod.

Special Thanks
I wanted to make sure I gave credit where its due, i feel that without the help of Ezra, none of my mods would be possible. Even though I made, sculpted and put everything together, he went through every single NPC and made sure every one of them were unique in every way. he picked out which one wore what armor, what they had in their inventory. Again Ezra, this mod feels like its just as much you as me. - By Jobobby04This requires immersive Armor Swapper (iAS) and the original mods (you don't need all of them, just the outfits you want). By putting on a outfit from the original mod, it will automatically swap to the one made for teens and/or dolls if you have installed this mod, the original mod and immersive Armor Swapper. You can just pick all outfits if you don't know what ones you already have installed, the extra files won't cause any problems.
These are NSFW outfits made by too many people that I can list, converted to the teen and doll bodies.

The general installation order iAS mods are:
1. Install Groovtama's XPMS Extended and its requirements
2. Install CBBE (It may work with UNP but it is untested)
3. Install the race mod you want to be swapping outfits (Teens or Dolls)
4. Install iAS
5. Install the original mods their requirements
6. Install iAS addon(this mod) - By Jobobby04immersive Armor Swapper (iAS)
Immersive Armor Swapper is a dynamic armor swapper, capable of switching armors per selected body types. To make iAS recognize a race, you need to have a separate home folder for the desired race you are wanting to swap armors on, and a plugin so that iAS knows the races you want to start swapping.
With iAS, Me and Schaken (and any other person that decides to contribute) don't have to make custom plugins, convert armors so that only work with teens or dolls, and we don't have to package the original mod. We can just make a addon that makes the specified outfit appear only when a teen or a doll wears the outfit from the original mod. (View videos below for examples)
Another feature of iAS is that it does what the all hair and eyes patch does, it makes all hair and eyes available in racemenu. This does not mean that the hairs and eyes will work with them, it just makes them available.
This is the club version, so it is compatible with Teen Dolls Natural, Teen Dolls Lewd and Teen Dolls Physics (Official).
If your teen/doll bodies are invisible make sure you have the armor swapper plugins loaded after the lewd and physics plugins.
Before you report a bug please check the iAS log in 'Documents/My Games/Skyrim Special Edition/SKSE/iAS.log'
For more information check the public iAS page.

This is the Lewd Edition for Dolls. It just changes the NIF's and nothing more. Changes the body from Non-Nude to Nude.
This File Requires Dolls - By Jobobby04This requires immersive Armor Swapper (iAS). By putting a outfit on a teen/doll mannequin, it will automatically swap to the one made for teens/dolls if you have immersive Armor Swapper and some addons.
This mod was made in a way that it is compatible with mods with custom mannequins. That means we have to make a addon for each mod that has mannequins for them to be teen/doll mannequins.
The current addons are:
Legacy Of The Dragonborn: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/11802
Skyfall Estate: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2185
I have made a few different versions of the addons, such as making all the mannequins teens or making all of them dolls. There are also 2 different versions. Both of them use a mix of teen and doll mannequins. One for a mix of teen and dolls in the same room. And one for teens and dolls to use different rooms.
The installation order for iAS Mannequins are:
1. Install Groovtama's XPMS Extended and its requirements
2. Install CBBE (It may work with UNP but it is untested)
3. Install the race mod you want the mannequin to be based on(Teens or Dolls)
4. Install iAS
6. Install iAS Mannequins(this mod) - By SchakenDolls - Natural Version
This mod removes the 'Activate' error, and makes them fight instead of running away, and lets the game treat them as adults.
When you install this, it will overwrite the 'Dolls.esm' this is ok, hit accept.

Original Flavor
Looking for mods for the original version of Skyrim? We've selected over 100 of the best mods for improved visuals and optimization, new quests and locations, roleplaying and immersion, creatures and NPCs, and much more. Our list is here.
Since the last time we updated our list of the best Skyrim Special Edition mods the Skyrim Script Extender has been made compatible with it. You can download it here (it'll be labelled 'Current SE build'). Turn off automatic updates for Skyrim Special Edition once it's installed, as the creation club still receives patches which routinely break the Script Extender until modders update it.
With the Script Extender modders can now alter this version of Bethesda's RPG as drastically as Oldrim. Near-essentials like SkyUI are now available in this slightly prettier (it does have nicer shadows), and more stable (you can alt-tab as much as you like) version of Skyrim. To be fair, there were other changes as well, like these.
If you're playing the Skyrim Special Edition and looking for the best mods available, look no further. Some of these mods can be found on Bethesda's site and downloaded while in-game, but the links we'll post all point to the repository at Nexus Mods. Mods added in the latest update of this list have been marked with a ⭐.
Vortex ⭐
For downloading, installing, and managing these mods and others, we recommend Vortex. It's an extremely useful utility, and it works with a number of other games like Fallout 3 and 4, The Witcher series, the Darks Souls games, XCOM 2, and lots more.
SkyUI ⭐
The heavens parted, golden saints sang, and SkyUI was finally supported by Skyrim Special Edition. This interface replacer makes Skyrim feel like it was designed for mouse controls, and lets you filter and sort inventory based on weight, value, damage and the like. Also adds an in-game mod configuration menu several other mods rely on.
A Quality World Map ⭐
Skyrim's map is functional but boring. A Quality World Map offers multiple ways to fix it. It can replace the map with a much more detailed world texture, with colors that help delineate the separate areas much more obviously, but there's also an option to have a paper map, with a more Oblivion look, if that's your thing.
Legacy of the Dragonborn ⭐
Adds a gallery you can fill with unique items, a museum to your achievements that is also a library, a storage facility, a questline of its own, and a place to learn archeology complete with its own perks. While the original version of this Skyrim mod has been adapted across from Oldrim, there's also an update in the works specifically for Special Edition which will remap the building to make it larger and more like a real museum. It won't be compatible with the current version, so it might be worth holding off until Legacy V5 comes out.
The Asteria Dwemer Airship ⭐
There are player home mods to suit all tastes, but the Asteria is a particularly nice one—a flying ship with all mod cons, by which I mean storage space and crafting tables. It's permanently docked, however, and can't be moved around, though it does have a teleporter for a more immersive alternative to fast-travel. Flyable skyship mods still haven't made the jump over from vanilla Skyrim, unfortunately.
Inigo ⭐
Maybe you don't think a blue Khajiit who follows you around commenting on everything and being sarcastic about Lydia is what Skyrim needs, but trust us on this. Inigo is a follower with tons of dialogue, some tied to his own questline and more that crops up at appropriate times depending on the location you're at. He can be told where to go and what to do by whistling, and will follow you even if you've got an existing companion, chatting away with them thanks to skilfully repurposed voice lines.
Unofficial Skyrim Patch
Skyrim Body Mods
This mod is a compendium of hundreds of fixes for bugs, text, objects, items, quests, and gameplay elements assembled by prolific modder Arthmoor. The patch is designed to be as compatible as possible with other mods. If you've got a few hours, you can read through the patch notes.
Opening Scene Overhaul
This mod, by elderscrolliangamer, changes and enhances Skyrim's opening sequence by restoring dialogue that Bethesda chose to cut, but which is still present in the game files. With that content restored, you'll learn more about the world you're preparing to inhabit by listening in on additional conversations and seeing full sequences that were snipped before release. Best of all, if you choose to side with the Stormcloaks, you'll actually be able to escape Helgen with Ulfric himself at your side.
Open Cities
It's more than a little immersion-breaking in Skyrim to enter a city through a gate and encounter a loading screen. Open Cities, by Arthmoor, aims for more of a Morrowind feel: the cities aren't instances, they're part of the larger world. Stroll right in—or ride in on horseback—without a break in your experience, and these cities will feel more like real places than loaded-in maps.
Phenderix Magic World
This impressively robust magic mod adds new locations like The School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the magical town of Manantis, and even a new magical dimension to explore. It also adds hundreds of new spells from all schools of magic, plus lots of magic weapons, over a dozen new followers, and a quest to get you started.
Alternate Start—Live Another Life
If you're playing Special Edition, you're starting from scratch whether you're a newcomer to Skyrim or a veteran. Why not start your new game as someone other than the Dragonborn? Alternate Start—again, by Arthmoor—is a roleplaying mod that gives you choices on how you'd like to begin your next playthrough. Are you a patron at in inn, a visitor arriving by boat, a prisoner in a jail cell, or the member of a guild? You can start as a soldier, an outlaw, a hunter, or even a vampire. It's a great way to re-experience Skyrim from a different perspective.
Relationship Dialogue Overhaul
This mod by cloudedtruth adds thousands of lines of voiced dialogue for NPCs, directed at making you feel as if you have a closer and more personal relationship with followers and friends. Your spouse, if you have one, will no longer sound like a random follower, but address you in a more personal manner, and those you've angered will have a host of new insults to hurl your way.
Diverse Dragons Collection
Despite the Special Edition's visual overhaul, its dragons are still a bit ho-hum. This mod, contributed to by a large collection of modders, adds 28 new and unique dragons with different models and textures, and capable of over a dozen new breath attacks and abilities. The dragons come in different ranks as well, to ensure you have a challenge no matter what your level.
Achievements Mod Enabler
Skyrim Special Edition Mods Cbbe
Just because you're modding doesn't mean you're cheating (necessarily). So why does the SSE disable achievements if you've got mods running? Stick it to 'em by using this plugin from xSHADOWMANx that allows you to earn achievements even while using mods.
Static Mesh Improvements
While the SSE adds plenty of enhanced visuals, it doesn't do a thing to improve the original game's low-poly meshes. This mod edits hundreds of 3D models placed in thousands of different locations for items like furniture, clutter, architectural elements, and landscape objects to make them look nicer and more realistic.
Total Character Makeover
Skyrim's NPCs already looked dated when the game was first released, and they certainly haven't aged well. The SSE might improve the looks of the world, but it doesn't touch its citizens, so this mod from Scaria should be on your list. It gives everyone in the game (including your avatar) a facelift with more detailed textures that won't kneecap your framerate, and without making characters look out of place.
True 3D Sound for Headphones
'This mod enables true 3D sound for Skyrim SE by using a so called HRTF to simulate binaural hearing using normal stereo headphones. You will hear exactly from which direction a sound is coming from.' I don't know exactly what that first sentence means, but I understand the second one. Make the SSE more realistic for your ears with this mod from CptYouaredead.
You also might want to check out Immersive Sounds.
Frostfall and Campfire
Download link (Frostfall)
Download link (Campfire)
Download link (Campfire)
Looking to turn SSE into a survival experience? Then bundle up and look no further. These mods from Chesko make the frosty world of Skyrim more dangerous yet more immersive and enjoyable with a system that makes you manage your temperature in the cold climate. Hypothermia is an issue, especially if you swim through icy water, so you'll have to dress warmly, and camping elements include craftable tents, torches, and other gear. There's even a crafting skill system.
Also, check out Wet and Cold, which adds weather-dependent visual effects and sounds.
Cutting Room Floor
Another big mod from Arthmoor restores loads of content that exists in SSE's data files but wasn't implemented in the game. Numerous locations, NPCs, dialogue, quests, and items have been brought into the light, and the game is richer for it.
The Forgotten City
Skyrim Se Cbbe Armor
Skyrim's got lots of adventure, but here's about 10 hours more courtesy of writer and developer Nick Pearce. Play detective and solve a murder mystery while exploring a massive, ancient city. It's got excellent, award-winning writing, a non-linear story, fantastic voice acting by a large cast, an enjoyable original soundtrack, and even a touch of time travel. Here's our write-up of it.
Ars Metallica—Smithing Enhancement
Unless you're playing as a metal-plated tank who swings an enormous two-handed sword around, there's not a lot of use for smithing. Archers, thieves, and other stealthy characters have no issues finding light armor on their adventures, so there's never been much reason to make it themselves. This mod by Arthmoor gives slippery sorts reasons to learn smithing, by letting them forge arrows, lockpicks, and guild-specific armor, as well as melt down bulkier armor they'd never actually wear into ingots.
The Special Edition includes the critically acclaimed game and add-ons with all-new features like remastered art and effects, volumetric god rays, dynamic depth of field, screen-space reflections, and more. Released: 2016 Genre: RPG Engine: GameBryo |
