We have a great collection of mods this month, starting with an amazing mod for Skyrim Special Edition that’s full of new quests and locations.

It is also one of the largest single releases on Bethesda.net! For Fallout 4, we have some awesome weapons and armor, as well as a fan favorite for adding more encounters to the Commonwealth.

Below is a short summary for each mod, as well as links to their full profiles on Skyrim Mods and Fallout 4 Mods. If there’s a mod you’d like us to feature, please post your recommendations in the comments below, or in the Skyrim and Fallout 4 forums.

Skyrim Special Edition

Beyond Skyrim: Bruma by 1shoedpunk
This mod requires installing four files to play!
Xbox One: Assets, Base, Patch, Updates
PC: Assets, Base, Patch, Updates

This mod adds a large swath of northern Cyrodiil. Last visited in TES IV: Oblivion, the mod has a lot that fans will find familiar, and plenty that has changed in the years since. Fully voiced and packed with people to meet and places to adventure, this is an incredible mod.

To start your journey, head south from Helgen, into the mountains. The Legion won’t let just anyone through the gate to Cyrodiil, but if you can convince them, you’ll find a huge new area to explore.

Fallout 4

Wattz Laser Gun by Painter2099, Ha_Ru and friends
Fallout 4 mod for Xbox One and PC

A Fallout classic brought to the Commonwealth, this wonderfully created weapon looks great, and has an excellent array of attachments. There are also several unique variants hidden away.

Accelerator Plasma Energy Weapon by Quadrioters
Fallout 4 mod for Xbox One

Another high-tech and highly customizable weapon. This one has a very different aesthetic, with a sleek design, range of color options, and a creative take on the naming system.

Winter Blade by Scientist711
Fallout 4 mod for PlayStation 4

The Winter Blade is an exceptionally fun weapon, with a powerful freezing effect. This allows you to stop your foes in their tracks, immobilizing them in an endless array of potentially awkward poses. Originally released to celebrate the holidays last year, Winter Blade slices its way back into the feature spotlight this December!

NCR Patrolman And Trooper Armors by L0rd0fWar / DrogDoKein
Fallout 4 mod for Xbox One and PC

Designed for the upcoming Fallout Cascadia project, this armor pack was recently released as a standalone mod. As with his previously featured Mercenary armors, there’s great variation in these armors. And since they can be crafted at a chemistry station, it’s easy to outfit yourself, your companions, and even an entire settlement in NCR outfits.

NCR Veteran Ranger Armor by Unoctium and DogtoothCG
Fallout 4 mod for Xbox One and PC

The perfect companion to the patronman and trooper armors, the NCR Veteran Ranger Armor has been one of the more popular armor mods for Fallout 4. In addition to everything included in its original release, it has since been expanded with more armor options.

NPCs Travel by Skyquest
Fallout 4 mod for Xbox One and PlayStation 4

This mod adds additional groups traveling through the wasteland. It’s a great way to increase the variety to the world, especially since you can encounter these groups while you’re traveling or as they pass by your settlements.
