If we talk a lot about the longevity that will have benefited GTA 5 until the release of GTA 6however, it turns out that he is far from being the only one. Indeed, Bethesda also has the art and way of making fans languish with The Elder Scrollswhose sixth opus is sorely awaited by players. Fortunately, they never lack resources when it comes to taking advantage of Skyrim in all its aspects, as evidenced by this boosted version of the RPG which would be enough to make even the best remasters pale.
This collection of mods literally transforms Skyrim
It’s absolutely no secret: Bethesda fans are full of born modders. Moreover, the studio never fails to encourage them, sometimes even if it means giving them the necessary tools to allow them to enjoy the games as they see fit. The only limit? Their talent and creativity. And if there is one game affected by this phenomenon, it is Skyrim. As proof, in almost fifteen years of existence, thousands of mods have seen the light of day for the RPG, thanks to a community always eager to push the experience to its limits.
And the least we can say is that the result is simply striking. In any case, this is what we can see from a video recently shared by Synth Potato on X, which runs Skyrim with no less than 1,900 different mods. “It’s an incredibly surprising experience” then the Internet user is surprised, adding that he did not “Just one click to play”. Because yes, it is of course a collection of mods called “Gate to Sovngarde”, the objective of which is to “transform Skyrim while retaining its original essence”.
“I still feel like I’m playing Skyrim, unlike some mod collections that turn the game into a completely different experience” explains Synth Potato. Among the improvements made are notably an immersion reinforced by new game mechanics, but also by “thousands of new lines added to NPCs” which improve the credibility of the world of Bethesda. Not to mention the addition of new quests, additional locations and other new equipment to use.
“It feels like a remake.”
In fact, the collection of mods goes so far that for Synth Potato, “feels like playing a 2026 remake of Skyrim”. “Each mechanic in the game has been reworked in one way or another to provide a more immersive, role-playing experience. It’s crazy what we can do with Skyrim modding in 2026 ». Do you want to try the experience?
