The arsenal of the Dragonborn is usually something to behold in the latter stages of the game, once you are past level 50 and have the best gear available for the taking.

This mod by Modder UniqueUses is called “Toon Skyrim” and this is just what I needed for the game to feel new and fresh again. It’s a work in progress, but man, it looks awesome. Here’s what the.

Page 1 of 39 - Toon Skyrim Redux - posted in File topics: Toon Skyrim Redux Did you ever wonder how Skyrim would look as a Pixar film? So I just boarded the 'Toon Skyrim' train last night while looking for a cel-shading mod. I ended up finding all the Uniqueuses drama stuff and the ultra low textures ENB mod stuff. After spending litterally all day trying to get it to work I failed to do so. I just uninstalled skyrim and I'm reinstalling it fresh now.

But, once you have played the game several times, or when you are on your first playthrough but have finished most tasks, you will want fresh weapons to add to the quest mods.

So for this post I’ve compiled a large list of 25 weapon mods that will enhance your Elder Scrolls experience to unforeseen heights.

Some of these mods are upgrades on already existing weapons. Others add dozens of new swords, bows, and unique gear to the game. But note that all these mods are free so you won’t be paying a dime.

It is up to you to decide which of these you would rather play with, and how lore-friendly you would like the game to remain.

25. Witcher’s Silver Sword

If you are a player who loves to mix things up with other franchises, you will enjoy the Witcher’s Silver Sword mod.

It simply replaces the Skyrim Silver Sword with one used in The Witcher series, providing the unrelenting strength of Geralt in order to kill the mighty foes he encountered during his adventures.

The Silver Sword does not have any particular effects, but it gives you the unique feel of authenticity and spins the world of Skyrim into something different.

It is well-detailed as well, helping to create more immersion!

24. CL’s Ebony Weapons

One common thing you will discover when looking for Skyrim weapon mods is the Ebony weapons are not fan-favorites and could look better – especially when you take into consideration how the armors are awesome.

CL himself, a popular modder in the Skyrim community, has retextured many of the base game Ebony weapons and turned the designs into incredibly beautiful pieces of weaponry.

The CL’s Ebony Weapons mod is a compilation of all of CL’s work in one file, which will replace all base game ebony weapons with spectacular and innovative items.

23. Better Bows

The Better Bows mod allows the base game bows to be complemented by a larger selection of ranged weapons, which will enhance your arsenal and add a much-needed touch of variety to the selection.

The bows were designed using the base templates of Skyrim’s ranged weapons, so they do not look out of place!

22. Unique Bows Collection

Much like the last mod, the Unique Bows Collection adds 10 new bows to the game with exceptional designs.

They are simpler than the Better Bows mod, but the mod is better supported and works better with enchantments, earning it a higher spot on our list.

If you’re big into the archery path then you’ll want to check out these weapons.

21. Warglaive of Azzinoth (Twin Blades)

If you are a Warcraft fan or an avid WoW player you are going to absolutely love this next mod.

It adds the infamous Twin Blades of Azzinoth to the game, used by Illidan in the Warcraft lore.

Much like the original blades, this mod comes pre-enchanted with the “Power of Green Fire”, giving them an unbelievable amount of power but does not allow you to place any further enchantments on them.

20. Magicka Sabers

Are you a Star Wars fan looking to keep a Skyrim playthrough lore-friendly?

The Magicka Sabers mod is going to suit your needs. This mod adds lightsabers into the game, but it is explained how the sabers themselves are powered with elements found in Skyrim.

Their existence is technically logical in Tamriel.

Sure, the explanation might not be the best out of every other mod on this list. But it should suffice if you wish to slay foes with your lightsaber across the plains of the realm!

19. The Ice Blade of The Monarch

This mod adds a couple of new weapons to the game, as well as a staff, which can be obtained by completing a quest which adapts to the lore of the game.

The powerful weapons will serve you well in battle and strike fear in the hearts of every foe daring to stand in your way.

18. Dawnguard Arsenal

If you have played the Dawnguard DLC and fought the Volkihar Menace, you probably know their weapons are on the limited end of the spectrum.

This mod aims to correct that by adding countless new weapons with the same design you would expect Dawnguard weapons to have.

Some of these models were made from scratch, and the work put into them is extremely noticeable!

17. Expanded Skyrim Weaponry

Do you feel like the base game weapons are lacking in variety?

Well, this mod is what you are after. It adds 95 new and different weapons to the game, making your choice of finding a favorite more difficult than before.

All of the weapons are lore-friendly and use the same materials that are included in the base game.

16. Automatic Crossbows

This mod adds automatic crossbows to the lore of Skyrim by presenting you a story where the Thalmor find some old Dwarven blueprints showing how to build these fearsome weapons.

As such, you will be able to fire arrows as if they were machine gun ammunition!

Keep in mind this weapon is a bit overpowered so if you are not keen on ancient over-the-top guns, this might not do much for you.

15. Ghosus Weapon Pack

The Ghosus Weapon Pack adds many different new weapons into the game.

There are a total of 18 new weapons, but each one has 32 variations and they come with a unique shield emblematic to this mod.

The weapons are highly detailed and look as if they belong in the game, so finding them and wielding them is going to be as lore-friendly as you can imagine.

Though the weapons adapt to the game, they have their roots and origins in comics and other stories. You can even get Thor’s Hammer with this pack!

14. Dread Knight Weapon Set

So the Dread Knight Weapon Set makes its glorious return to Skyrim after the success this mod had in the days of Oblivion.

It adds a set of weapons seeming to fit right in with a knight who represents death, so dark knights and warrior necromancers might find a lot of joy in using these weapons.

In any case, the weapons are fairly balanced, and the design is as beautiful as you can imagine.

The weapons have inscriptions written in Daedra, adding to the eerie feeling they emit when you wield them.

13. Lost Longswords

Fans of two-handed weapons and swords that feel a bit exaggerated to wield into battle, rejoice.

This mod adds a collection of longswords to the game that seemed to be lost with time, but they have made their way into your hands, thanks to this amazing mod.

It even included a Dragonbone longsword you can craft, making it one of the most powerful in the game.

If you feel like the longswords included in the base game are just not enough, you will need to try this one out.

You are undoubtedly going to walk out happy with the many new weapons that get introduced to the game using this mod!

12. Lore Weapon Expansion

The amount of beautifully crafted weapons introduced with this mod are not only great, but also extremely carefully crafted.

You can see the modder is an artist who has put plenty of work into developing these amazing new weapons, amongst which you will find many types of daggers, swords, axes, and other heavy weapons made of the main materials found in the game.

The additions are strict to the lore of Skyrim.

And none of the weapons introduced to the game feel out of place no matter how you play.

It is a truly fascinating mod and the weapons are a work of art.

11. Faction Crossbows

One really wonders why crossbows were not added into the Elder Scrolls story when Skyrim was released, but what is done is done.

Thankfully, modders have found a way to create these weapons and introduce them into the game.

The Faction Crossbows mod is probably one of the most lore-friendly mods out of them all, as it adds a craft-able crossbow, as well as variations for every faction in the game.

You can use your Dark Brotherhood crossbow to slay the souls of the innocent, or the Thieves’ crossbow to aid you in your days as a robber.

10. Elemental Arrows

There may be many different arrows in Skyrim, but it still feels as if Bethesda should have allowed players to be more creative in terms of style.

This mod does exactly that by adding a ton of different arrows to the game, all of which have unique effects which improve your playstyle.

They also allow you to vary bows and combine them with new ammunition.

You will be able to craft arrows with special effects based on the arrows already included in the game, so things will not feel out of place when you shoot them.

9. The Huntsman

The Huntsman is the most spectacular bow modders have managed to create for Skyrim.

It is such an amazing bow, no other mod comes close to it, perhaps maybe the Scoped Bows mod.

It is the perfect companion for all kinds of players – but particularly hunters.

The mod is designed to level up as the player does, which means it will not become useless after a certain level limit.

You can even upgrade the bow and change its attributes.

Upgrading it also changes its shape, which is a neat addition in a mod and not in the base game.

8. Weapons of The Third Era

Though this mod is quite old, it still stands amongst the best Skyrim weapon mods in the Nexus community.

It adds new and unique weapons to the game, all of which aim to resemble those used in the Third Era of the world.

The designs of the weapons are magnificent and beautiful, with steel, silver, and even glass variations having been included in the arsenal this mod adds to the game.

7. Heavy Armory – New Weapons

Heavy Armory adds a staggering 100 new weapons to the game, including weapons no other Elder Scrolls game has ever entertained.

You will be able to wield a halberd and strike a fierce blow using clubs or spears, so it is up to you to decide what you are going to do with the variety this mod provides.

Keep in mind, you will also find many of these new weapons wielded by foes in the wild.

Be prepared to stand ready in case you encounter a high-leveled enemy wearing a giant halberd against you.

6. Sword of the Ancient Tongues

This mod adds a single sword into the game.

But dare I say it is the most lore-friendly sword on this list.

The sword has encryptions of Akatosh, as well as an inscription in draconic tongue, which reads “Dragonborn, by his honor is sworn, to keep evil forever at bay…”.

The sword is incredibly detailed. And everything looks so in place you can see this modder is a skilled 3D artist.

Note you will need a solid crafting to create this sword, but the effort you put into it is as worth it as it gets – it is an amazing weapon worthy of being wielded by the Dragonborn.

5. JaySus Swords

The sheer number of swords, blades, and axes this mod adds to the game is so staggeringly high, you will struggle to try them all.

In fact, the mod adds a grand total of 53 weapons into the game, all of which have unique designs and look extremely well made.

The creator of the mod, JaySus, may not be the most creative of modders in terms of naming, but he sure did one heck of a good job with the creation of such a unique arsenal of weapons.

4. Scoped Bows

If you want scoped weaponry, well Skyrim may not be the best game to obtain it.

However some modders beg to differ. They have managed to incorporate scoped weapons into Skyrim without breaking the essence of the game.

Admittedly, it is difficult to explain why a bow would have a scope in this era, but hey, that is a small little detail.

This mod adds lore-friendly scoped bows into the game, and the bows look very natural and seem to fit in quite well with the overall feel of the game.

3. Isilmeril LOTR Weapons Collection

Are you a fan of Lord of the Rings? If you’re playing Skyrim then you most likely are fond of LotR or its lore(a wild guess!)

This mode, created by modder Isilmeril, adds a massive number of weapons from Middle Earth and places them straight into its resembling Tamriel, and they are all yours for the taking.

You can choose to wield the mighty mace of Sauron, as it is included with this mod!

The number of weapons and their quality is staggering, and you are almost guaranteed to fall in love with what this mod has to offer.

There is an extra mod that retextures everything to make it look even better!

2. Unique Uniques

Have you ever wondered why the unique weapons in Skyrim are not really unique?

You find this extremely rare mace once wielded by an Emperor and enchanted in the forges of Oblivion itself, yet its appearance is equal to any other mace in the game.

This mod fixes this issue. You will be able to tell when a weapon is unique solely because of its appearance.

As such, it aims to retexture every unique weapon in the game to really make it stand out from the rest!

1. Immersive Weapons

Immersive Weapons takes the first spot on this list because of how well made it is.

The mod adds a wide variety of different weapons into the game with variants depending on the material.

It focuses on keeping things as accurate to the story as possible. And you will find the models of each weapon are perfectly integrated with the environment so easily.

The mod took a very long time to make and was updated for six months after its release, which makes it one of the best mods in the Nexus community and the most downloaded weapon mod by Skyrim fans!

It’s fair to say the Skyrim follower system works much better than its pretty poor Oblivion counterpart.

However, as TES gamers we all know there’s always something to complain about.

Whether it be not enough followers or certain companions not being good enough, room for improvement will always exist. Don’t worry, there’s a solution: modding the hell out of your game.

I’ve compiled my picks for the absolute best follower mods to add into Skyrim for your downloading pleasure.

Let’s discover new followers that you can add to the game, without forgetting some fantastic mods that also serve to enhance the experience with your followers too.

Adding new people to follow you around is always cool. But let’s have them stop acting like idiots, that’s even better!

20. Aurora and Twilight Followers

I think one of the most essential things that a follower mod needs to have is an impeccable voice over.

I can’t tell you that this one is perfect, but both of these followers are fully voiced as well as really well designed.

Aurora and Twilight are fully customizable, which means you’ll be able to select their body types and even choose whether you’d like them to be werewolves or vampires.

So is there even more, you ask?

Yes, they can both get married!

19. Eryniel Elf Reborn

Eryniel is an elf who has become one with nature.

She handles herself exceptionally well in combat, and she does so by summoning the strength of all nature spirits to fight at her side.

This unique mod adds a total of 35 new Spriggan spells, all of which are part of Eryniel’s magic arsenal.

The character comes with various traits, a warrior skillset, and even the ability to call her your wife. Nice!

18. Tame the Beasts of Skyrim

Have you ever wanted to take control of Skyrim creatures?

I wouldn’t blame you if you did – some of the animals in the game would work fantastically as followers. Or even a few modded beasts while you’re at it.

Tame the Beasts of Skyrim allows you to do just that!

Approach any creature in the game and speak the ancient elf tongue, which will let you tame them with words. Fight alongside any of your animal brethren.

17. Danariel Stormbow

This mod is basically a remastered version of the 20th mod on my list above.

But instead of Twilight and Aurora, it adds one of the best archer companions that I’ve ever seen in Skyrim.

Skyrim 18+ Mods

Worth checking out if you dig the look, although certainly not the best(or worst) follower mod you can get.

16. Arvak – Legendary Edition

Tired of the basic horses that come with the game?

If the answer is yes, then I might have the solution to your predicaments.

Arvak is a horse/companion that seems to have been taken straight out of Oblivion and thrown onto your doorstep.

Powerful, mighty, and looking slick with its purple flames. What else could you ask of a follower or companion? Maybe not to poop so much, but eh what can you do.

15. Followers Can Relax

In terms of mods that enhance follower experience, this has to be one of my favorites.

No longer will your followers stay with you through thick and thin if you just want to do other stuff without them.

Order them around and have them wander the woods in search of raw materials, or simply tell them to sit down and stay out of the way.

It’s up to you to decide what they do. And for some reason they’ll just listen, every damn time.

14. Poet Follower

This relatively small follower comes with the ability to act like an absolutely sadistic barbarian and some of the highest-quality blunt skills that I’ve seen.

She does remind me of one of those old Final Fantasy characters.

The inspiration to create her might’ve come from that lore, but she fits so well into Skyrim too.

13. Better Stealth AI for Followers

One thing we can all agree on is the fact that followers are extremely idiotic when it comes to acting with stealth.

If you’ve ever tried to sneak past an enemy with a follower behind you, chances are that they’ve rushed to action and ruined all the fun for you.

This mod allows your followers to stop acting like complete tards and focus on the act of stealth whenever you are sticking with it too.

12. Recorder

If you want a useful follower that will spice up your adventures, then Recorder might be the one you’re after.

This woman seems to have it all.

And that’s quite a huge compliment when said to someone in the world of TES.

Recorder is a masterful bow-woman as well as a fully-voiced character that has some of the best custom dialogue lines I’ve heard.

Again, I’m glad I’m able to complement the voice lines of a modded character – I’ve seen some absolute abominations in my days downloading mods for this game. Some people should really stay away from voice acting… but not whoever did Recorder’s voice.

11. Tania The Hermit

Tania is an elf that now wanders, lost, the lands of Skyrim.

According to the stories, there used to be a small elven kingdom that was destroyed by an unknown force; she was the sole survivor of the attack.

You can now have her join your adventures while you help her solve her own questions.

Whatever happened to her land?

Who was responsible for bringing it to an end?

Tania is a very interesting follower that might lack a bit of combat expertise, but hey – that’s nothing a few hours of training can’t fix.

10. Spouses Can Live Everywhere

One of the things that many people hate is how limited spouses seem to be.

Whether you want to have them live with you or have them stay elsewhere, customizing your spouse’s behavior doesn’t seem to be one of the main features that vanilla Skyrim offers.

This mod allows you to choose where you want your spouses to live, and this doesn’t even include custom locations or indoor areas.

You can actually have your spouse live in the streets if that’s what your heart wants!

Wherever you decide to set their preferred location, they will act just as they do in any vanilla home.

That includes their vendor features, too.

9. Cerwiden – Smart Healer

A mage with a custom voice? Sign me up!

This amazing follower is one of the most talented mage companions that you can download for the game.

Skyrim Anime Mods Nexus

She can assist you during your quests with a lot of help.

The best thing about Cerwiden, though, isn’t her prowess as a mage.

Her voice acting is impeccable. And her interactions with other followers and with you, based on environmental changes, are just too good.

If you want a character that feels like more than an NPC, you’ll want to check out Cerwiden.

8. Hoth

Hoth is not only the name of the planet where the Rebel Alliance had their base.

Toon Skyrim Mod 1.12.2

It’s also the name of one of the coolest follower mods that you can download for Skyrim. This is the first dude on my list, a spot he has earned by simply looking like a badass and offering a skillset that not many others can match.

This man is as brutal as they come.

He’s going to smash through your enemies’ skulls with superhuman strength, or simply shoot them from afar with his world-class marksmanship.

If you’re looking for a follower that isn’t just another pretty face, give Hoth a try. You won’t regret having him around.

7. Familiar Faces

Alright, this mod is by far the most original one on this list.

The whole concept of the mod is something that every Skyrim player will love to see.

Familiar Faces allows you to add your other Dragonborns to the game world.

That’s right: your other save files will now be able to import themselves into your game, and all of your other characters will now appear in a special area of the world.

Build a shrine for your other selves. Have them follow you around Skyrim as trusty companions to continue both of your adventures together.

Or even fight them to see who is the mightiest Dragonborn.

6. Arissa – The Wandering Rogue

Arissa has to be one of the best-voiced characters that I’ve ever downloaded for Skyrim.

And trust me when I say that I’ve downloaded quite a few.

She’s a rogue, which makes her a fantastic archer as well as one of the finest pickpockets around.

Like many other character mods on this list, Arissa is completely custom-made from scratch.

She has a unique appearance that makes her differ from many of the other characters in the game. Basically, a really cool follower to keep around.

5. Extensible Follower Framework

If you liked the “Followers Can Relax” mod then you’re going to fall in love with EFF.

This expands the way followers work and takes the experience to a completely different plane of existence.

With EFF you’ll be able to tell your followers to remain idle in a certain area, have them go on their horses to get you specific items, dual-wield weapons, or you can even have them change their status to Essential.

This mod allows you to turn followers into whatever it is that you want them to be.

When it comes to customization for your companions, this is the best mod that I’ve come across.

4. Vilja in Skyrim

Vilja is a cool bard that resembles Daenerys Targaryen a bit, but has her complete opposite personality.

This character comes with a full voiceover which is always nice.

And she’ll take any task you give her, also a nice addition.

Her backstory is as cool as they get, too, enriching the experience while holding pretty lore-friendly.

If all things go well between you and her, you might even be able to marry her.

She even has a small story progression system that makes her an even more appealing companion to keep around.

3. Inigo

Inigo, who I’m pretty sure was meant to be called Iñigo but the creator lacked the “ñ” on his keyboard, is a follower worth looking into.

He’s a legendary warrior with over a thousand lines of dialogue to provide a completely reinvigorated follower experience in the game.

The best thing about this guy is the level of depth that the creator of the mod gave him.

The dude can run out of arrows and you’ll have to restock him. And he can even level up alongside you to make it all feel even more realistic, yet not OP.

Overall a great addition to your battles and well worth downloading to see what you think.

2. Sofia

I’m pretty sure one of the reasons why this character is so popular in the community is because of the inherent thirst of many players. But trust me – there’s much more to Sofia than her looks.

This funny follower is as brave as they come, yet also as valiant as the best.

She is voiced by a professional voice actor and provides you with an experience that no other follower in the game is capable of giving.

Smart, good-looking, and with a killer eye for hunting prey – whether it be a beast or a human. Sofia’s a true MVP.

Skyrim Anime Race

1. UFO: Ultimate Following Overhaul

We have finally reached the follower overhaul to end all follower overhauls.

If you thought that the EFF mod was good, then prepare to meet the best of the bunch.

This one includes a whole list of features that go from improving the basic follower system to adding new stuff that didn’t come with vanilla Skyrim. The list is almost endless.

Trust me, you’ll want to check it out yourself. Browse the mod page for more info but this is something you’ll need to experience to understand.
