Have you ever wanted to feel more immersed in the Skyrim world?
Well I can certainly relate. It’s a world in which you could get lost for hours if you just let your imagination fly.
Nov 20, 2016 This is a faithful port of Saerileth excellent Jewelry mod Gemling Queen Jewelry with amazing textures made by Gamwich.I have kept all features intact, converted all meshes to Skyrim SE new format using ousnius excellent tool SSE NIF Optimizer & saved the Dawnguard vampire amulet fix esp in the new CK. Jewelry is one of the least noticeable apparel items in Skyrim. Why Bethesda thought it'd be a good idea to sell a mod for 200 points that adds a new style of jewelry is a complete mystery.
And the modding community has come together to create some of the greatest immersion mods that you could ever wish for. Some of these mods are not compatible with each other, but most should work well to help you create a lore-friendly environment where everything seems to come to life better than in the base game.
Just keep in mind that some of these mods will take up a lot of space and may cause bugs if they don’t play well together.
You should always create a backup save just in case something goes wrong. Worry not, though – I’ve tried most of them and they work almost flawlessly. Warzones can cause a bit of trouble, but I’ve included it here because it’s an amazing mod nonetheless.
20. Immersive Detection of NPC
This incredible mod helps you to correct an issue that many players seem to hate – you can easily get detected and shot at night just as if it was daytime, which makes no sense and breaks the immersion that the game can create.
Using this mod, which should be compatible with any other mod on this list, makes it so that enemies aren’t capable of seeing you as easily in the night as they do in the base game.
And it also makes it so they lose accuracy when shooting during the night.
It really adds a new layer of depth to the assassin playstyle that we all love so much!
19. Immersive Beds
Have you ever wondered why no one in Bethesda assumed that it would be a good idea to animate your character going to sleep when you select a bed?
It sometimes feels like beds don’t really serve their purpose in the base game, which is where this mod comes in – it adds the option to use sleepwear as well as extra animations when you go to bed and get up from it.
18. Immersive Jewelry
Immersive jewelry adds a massive number of new jewels to the game, most of which are designed to look unique and represent the classes and races to which they belong.
It’s an awesome mod and very detailed, considering that it has over 4000 pieces of jewelry to date. Crazy!
17. Immersive Saturation Boost
Base game Skyrim didn’t look too good when it was first released.
But it’s understandable given the year and the technological limitations of the PS3 and Xbox 360. With the release of the Special Edition things changed for the better and the game now looks better than ever.
However there still seems to be something off with the saturation levels of the camera.
This mod makes everything look like as if you were really in the locations that the game takes you to.
It emphasizes the way shadows look and adds a necessary grade of saturation that the base game was missing. It’s a spectacular mod, and one you should try out with shaders too.
16. Dragon Combat Overhaul
It truly is a shame that this mod was removed from the Nexus because the owner had some personal issues to work through.
However it still remains as one of the best Skyrim mods of all time, not only in terms of immersive mods, but in general.
It really didn’t take a better spot on this list solely because of the fact that it isn’t being updated anymore and you can’t find it on the Nexus(but there are downloads out there, for example in this thread).
This mod improves the way you fight dragons and makes everything feel more natural.
If you feel like the dragon combat is a bit bland in the base game then I really encourage you to give this one a try.
15. Warzones – Civil Unrest
Warzones is an incredible mod which truly brings you the sense of war that Skyrim is supposed to be under into the game.
It adds thousands of NPCs, all of which are ready to fight one another in a blood bath like no other Elder Scrolls game has ever seen.
It does require you to have a powerful computer or you might experience crashes – it takes a lot of resources to keep everything running!
But it does make Skyrim feel like it’s actually at war, like it’s supposed to be in the story.
Everything just feels a bit too calm to be true in times of war so this mod is a great fix for that.
14. The Joy of Perspective
The Joy of Perspective is an amazing mod for those who love to play in first person.
In fact, first-person gameplay is a crucial part of immersion. And base game Skyrim fails at delivering a good experience to players who want that FPS point of view.
With this mod you won’t feel like you’re floating around when playing in first person and you’ll be able to look around in a much more natural manner.
13. Real Shelter
It’s honestly ridiculous how rain falls through the roof even when you’re below a shelter.
This mod, although rather simple, gets rid of that small little detail that breaks the sense of reality that you would take to cover yourself from a storm. Often times it is the little things that matter.
12. Hunterborn
If you’re into hunting, boy you’re going to absolutely love this mod.
This makes it so hunting feels way more realistic, as you’ll have to properly kill animals and skin them if you wish to collect their resources.
No more looting their corpses as if they were carrying stuff in their imaginary pockets.
11. Frostfall
Some people really shouldn’t be walking around in the cold and acting as if nothing happened to them.
Frostfall adds the element of surviving the cold into a major core mechanic in the game.
You’ll have to take care and try not to freeze to death when roaming around Skyrim. Keep your torches and campfires ready – you’ll need them if you want to venture into a blizzard.
10. Immersive HUD
It really doesn’t feel too realistic to keep your HUD around as if it was part of your robotic interface.
This mod is a complete rework to the base game interface which makes it look far more realistic in every sense of the word.
It doesn’t entirely remove it, but it does change it to a point where it doesn’t get in the way mid-game and allows you to play as if it wasn’t there.
It’s really cool – especially if you play in first person.
9. Skyrim Immersive Creatures
It doesn’t really take a lot of time playing Skyrim to get to know all the mobs in the game.
It gets really boring sooner rather than later, and it breaks the feeling of immersion knowing that there are only a handful of animal types in such a gigantic region.
This mod adds dozens of new creatures to correct that. And I can vouch for its quality – the creatures look really good.
8. Immersive College of Winterhold
The College of Winterhold is one of the major frustrations of mages in the game.
It feels like it has so much to offer than what the original game had in store for us, but thankfully modders have managed to get the best out of it.
This completely changes the way the college looks as well as some of the people who live in it. Again, small but useful details.
7. Convenient Horses
Honestly this is the best horse mod that exists for Skyrim. Period.
It’s just too good and makes horses feel like they are actually alive for once.
You can even create and manages your own herd of horses, bringing them around Skyrim in your adventures or making them stay in one place.
You can make customizations to your followers too and which horses they use. It’s really in-depth and you can spend hours at a time just micromanaging your horses.
The mod also adds a ton of new items like horse whistles, new horse armor, and many other features that will improve the quality of life of every rider on the region.
You’ll even get the ability to harvest plants from the back of your horse – with no need to get down from that saddle.
6. Beyond Skyrim
I have already featured this amazing mod in other lists before, but it has truly earned another place in this post too.
Beyond Skyrim looks to add new locations beyond the borders of Skyrim.
And even though the mod currently only adds Bruma, it does make Skyrim feel more connected with the reality of Tamriel by letting you visit a fan-favorite location of Oblivion.
5. Perkus Maximus
Perkus Maximus doesn’t add a single element into the game.
Instead it overhauls the complete perk system adding hundreds of new perks to the game as well as countless spells.
Everything added with this mod is lore-friendly and fits perfectly into the Elder Scrolls universe, which only adds a bit more of the essence that the game sometimes feels like its missing.
4. Alternate Start – Live Another Life
The beginning of Skyrim is one of the most iconic moments in gaming history.
However the intro sequence is as long as it gets. And with each playthrough it gets more and more repetitive.
This mod adds new ways for you to start the game and lets you choose what your character was before you create them.
You’ll be able to select many things for their background, and the creator of the mod has made sure to keep things relevant by making every decision that you take have an impact on how the story develops.
The new storyline created for the mod is very cool too and fits perfectly with Skyrim’s main questline!
3. Interesting NPCs
Tired of those boring ass folks just hanging around mindlessly? Me too. And this mod is as professional as it gets.
It adds over 250 new NPCs as well as countless new followers. And guess what, all of them are fully voiced.
The level of immersion that these new NPCs provided doesn’t only come in numbers – the quality of the dialog is just something else. It clearly shows that there was a lot of work put into this mod by the team.
Best of all is that with new NPCs come tons of new quests. The mod includes over 50 new missions for you to complete and help out these countless new strangers.
2. Immersive Patrols
This is an incredible mod for those of you who own Solstheim.
It adds faction patrols to the realm which can even trigger civil war encounters when they cross paths with each other.
In fact, if you happen to stumble upon a patrol that belongs to the enemy faction in relation to the one you’ve selected, you’ll be in instant danger as they will try to kill you on sight.
This mod completely overhauls the Solstheim experience and makes the DLC a hundred times better than it already is.
1. Sounds of Skyrim
It’s the little things that matter most. And those small details are what makes the Sounds of Skyrim such a unique, game-changing experience.
This mod adds over 100 new sounds to the game, and I’m not placing it in the first spot lightly.
The mod really changes the way you perceive the environment in the game. You’ll notice a lot of differences if you’ve been playing the game for a few years now.
Even if you’re a new player, Sounds of Skyrim does an amazing job at integrating you and transporting you deep into the world of Tamriel.

Why would I make a list of just the best accessory, when I could give you a complete guide to all the best clothing mods that exist in Skyrim?
I’ve compiled the best outfit overhauls, ring additions, accessory modifications, and everything else I could find that would fit into the clothing category so you can completely change the way your character looks in the game.
I’ve taken the liberty to filter out some inappropriate mods from this list to keep it SFW(sorry to disappoint!)
I’ve also tried to avoid adding highly rated mods that simply added clothing items from other games, like Naruto’s Akatsuki robes, for example. If you notice anything from another game to have made it into my list, it’s because it fully deserves it.
Also I didn’t notice any of these mods clashing or being incompatible with one another, but keep in mind that I didn’t try them all at the same time – I did so in batches. They should still be compatible all at once, but bear this thought in mind anyway.
25. Wear Circlets with Hoods
This amazing mod allows you to wear circlets with hoods. Shocking, I know. However, it isn’t a simple as it seems.
This mod allows them to work together quite well indeed, as the creator of the mod definitely put some effort into creating it, and you won’t have any clipping issues when wearing them. It’s not just a mod that enables both things to work together, there were some visual changes involved in it.
There might still be some clipping issues with certain smaller hoods and bigger circlets, but in general you shouldn’t see any visual inconveniences while wearing both items.
Skyrim does have its visual clipping issues anyway, so it wouldn’t be too out of character if the circlets clipped through the hoods.
24. Dragonborn Mages Robes Retexture Pack
Are you not satisfied with the way the Dragonborn robes look? Maybe you somehow wish they would look… better?
Well, you’re a rather demanding person, aren’t you?
Thankfully someone had the exact same thought as you did. The Dragonborn Mages Robes Retexture Pack changes the way the four basic robes that were included in Dragonborn DLC look, making them look a bit more different and much better.
The mod is very easy to install, as mod other mods on this list. It’s just a visual change, but I dig it very much. Hopefully you will too!
23. Colovian Noble Clothes
Even though this mod was made for the Beyond Skyrim mod, the number of clothing items that it adds to Skyrim makes it one of the best clothing mods that I’ve come across.
The clothes are made with the same detail and degree of quality that you’ll find on the Beyond Skyrim mod itself, and it is made to suit the needs of even the most demanding dresser in the lands.
22. Bandanas of Skyrim
Man, this is an item that you probably didn’t know you wanted until you check this mod out.
It gives you the chance to craft bandanas in the game, and notice how I’m using the term in plural – not only are there different color variations of the item, but it also adds two types of bandanas: you can wear it tied and untied, which makes it a fashionable little item that you can use.
It’s a great clothing item to be worn by rogues and thieves. It would also suit an assassin as well, so you might want to give it a shot!
21. Diverse Priests
Skyrim priests are already quite dull on their own, why not spice things up a bit and at least change the way their robes are colored?
This mod might seem simple on its own, but it adds a necessary level of depth to the game by changing the colors of robes that priests wear, allowing them to actually look like different people and not as if they all praised the same Divine (or Daedric Prince).
20. JewelCraft
This mod might not have a direct influence on the clothing of Skyrim, but it adds the ability for you to craft almost every single piece of jewelry that exists in the game.
The mod aims to keep things as realistic as possible, so crafting the items will require you to gather the necessary metals.
It’s a super amazing mod, and one of the best jewelry additions of this list.
The creator of the mod is also very keen on updating the mod constantly, so you can expect various updates to be made to the JewelCraft mod as time goes by.
Let’s just hope they don’t get bored of updating it!
19. Archmage of Winterhold HD Retexture
Nope, this isn’t a new addition to the range of clothing that you have in Skyrim, nor will you be able to find this Archmage robe anywhere different from where you get them in base-game Skyrim.
You still need to complete the College of Winterhold questline if you wish to get your hands on the Archmage robes.
The mod does retexture the way the clothes of the Archmage look, and man, they look quite good once the mod is installed.
They change the basic clothes and add an HD look to them. I find the addition to be quite cool!
18. Linds’ Necromancer Robes Revamp
The level of detail that this Necromancer Robes have is just absolutely fantastic.
You will find them to be amazing to look in necromancers, as the name suggests, as they are dark with some gold finishes on it and they look absolutely fantastic.
They are much more detailed than the basic robes worn by Necromancers in vanilla Skyrim.
The Necromancer Robes made by Lind include a sweet skull on the design, which is also much more detailed than the regular robes worn by the Skyrim Necromancers throughout the forsaken lands of northern Tamriel.
17. Velvet Robes and Cloaks
You can guess what this mod adds to the game, I guess.
In case you don’t, it adds robes and cloaks made of velvet. There are different color variations that you can purchase and craft.
The mod has been constantly updated, and the models of the clothing items have been reworked multiple times to get them to where they are today.
I have to say that these items do look as if they were vanilla, so the work put into making them so is as uncanny as it gets.
I fully recommend it if you like to have items similar to the ones that come in the base game.
16. Skyrim Scarves and Mufflers
Scarves!
There’s no better way to combat the cold environments that surround the northern lands of Tamriel than wearing some cool and well-knit scarves and mufflers.
How did no one at the Bethesda studios think about adding these?!
Granted, they’re not probably the warrior’s fashion choice, but man, they do seem to fit quite nicely into the game.
The game adds a ton of different variations of the items to the game as well, with over 50 of these fantastic clothing pieces having been introduced into Skyrim. You can craft them at the tanning rack, as they count as regular hide crafting items.
15. Opulent Outfits – Mages and Merchants
Opulent Outfits changes the way barkeepers and merchants dress in the game. It’s part of the Opulent Outfits mod pack, who has grown to become one of the finest additions of clothes to the community.
It’s also the first of two Opulent Outfits that made it into my list, and credit where it’s due – the creator of the mod managed to make some very elaborated and nice pieces of clothing.
They come in various colors and work in all types of bodies across the region. What’s not to love about this mod?
It adds so much variety and quality that your game will up its fashion game above its regular standards.
14. Hoods and Circlets
The Hoods and Circlets mod works similarly to the Wear Circlets with Hoods mod that took the 25th spot here.
But there’s a reason why this one is higher rated than the other one.
The level of detail is much better, and it only enables certain hoods to be worn with certain circlets, which removes the entire clipping issue almost on its entirety.
The mod has been updated and it now has almost no bugs, and you can always leave feedback on the creator’s page if you find any issues with it. I haven’t found any, and I’ve always wanted to wear circlets with hoods, so it took the 14th spot on this list!
13. DovahBling Jewelry
If you think the name of this mod is a bit tacky, wait until you see the mod itself. It literally adds bling to the game, and not just jewelry – literal bling.
Do you know those types of rings and pendants that some people wear?
Well there are now Skyrim versions of them. It’s just what it sounds like – bling jewelry but with Skyrim designs!
The mod also has one reason to make it so far up on my list.
All of the rings are craftable and it also adds a ten-ring system to the game, which allows the Dragonborn to wear all of their precious new items at once. You might look like a ridiculous clown.
But if that’s how you like it, that’s how you get it!
12. Prince and the Pauper
Well, reading the description of this mod makes it sound extremely classist, so I’m pretty sure its addition is going to piss off a lot of people on the left side of the political spectrum.
I swear that’s not my intention! The Prince and the Pauper mod changes the way most kids in the game dress to make their clothes reflect their social status more accordingly.
The mod itself is a clothing overhaul for children, and it does make them dress far more appropriately.
I like it a lot. But I wouldn’t advise you to download it if you often go to those everyone should be equal rallies.
11. Mage Backpack
Why would a traveling mage not wear a backpack? Ask that to Bethesda, because the creator of this mod hit the nail straight in its head.
The Mage Backpack mod adds a completely lore-friendly backpack to the game, which contains items that a traveling mage would carry around on their back.
It also adds a cool quest that you’ll need to finish if you want to obtain it.
It’s not as easy as it seems, but it will be worth your effort and time at the end of the road!
10. Fur Hoods HD
Skyrim winters are cold, and most of the hoods that come with vanilla Skyrim do a crappy job at keeping your head warm.
Fur Hoods HD adds a new type of hood that is sure to withstand even the coldest of Skyrim winters, and you’ll love the way it was designed.
It looks really cool, and that’s my completely unbiased opinion.
9. Common Clothes Mod
Clothing overhauls, anyone? This mod adds new clothes to the game, and the number of clothes that it adds is absolutely ridiculous.
The mod contains over 100 new different clothes that you’ll be able to find across the lands of Skyrim or craft them at the tanning rack if you’re too desperate to get them.
With literally a hundred items to choose from, this is the mod you want to download if you’re tired of the vanilla outfits!
8. Sabre Gear Backpack
If you’re playing a hunter in Skyrim, then this mod is going to be one you love.
It fits the lore of the game perfectly as it only adds backpacks made using animal fur, but most importantly, it makes your character look like a fearless badass.
It matches the Sabre Cat Gear Mod outfits as well, as they were made by the same creators – check that one out for a cool-looking hunting outfit!
7. Opulent Outfits – Mage Robes of Winterhold
Alright, if you’ve ever had the feeling that Skyrim was lacking robes, just quit what you’re doing right now and download this mod.
Skyrim Se Wear More Rings
Opulent Outfits adds a staggering 86 new clothing items to the game (all of which are robes for you to dress up on a daily basis or whenever you’re going to perform acts of necromancy).
Keep in mind that all of these items are made using high-quality textures, so they’ll look even better if you’re running graphic enhancement mods for Skyrim.
6. Face Masks of Skyrim
If you’re an assassin or a thief, this mod is going to suit you better than any other on this list.
Wear a face mask whenever you’re about to perform an assassination or robbery regardless of the race that you’re using to play (the mod works for Argonians and Khajit as well).
I mean, wearing them doesn’t mean that you won’t be identified by the guards, but it still makes you look cooler.
5. Rustic Clothing
Looking to overhaul your game to give it a Nordic feel?
Then check this mod out. It changes every single piece of clothing in the game to give it better textures as well as a look that turns each item into a more rustic version of itself.
Not much else to add, but don’t let that fool you – it’s a massive overhaul!
4. Improved NPC Clothing
Are you tired of seeing NPCs walk around in the same clothes all the time?
Well, this mod won’t fix that.
However it will improve NPC clothing by making the textures of all common robes and clothes in the game far better, using HD images in this complete clothing revamp.
3. Bandolier – Bags and Pouches
Ah, a mod that serves as a QOL addition as well as a regular clothing mod!
These are the ones I love to see.
This mod will add a variety of items that you can equip to your character to make him look cooler, but at the same time increase the carrying capacity in a lore-friendly way. It doesn’t make sense for a traveler not to wear at least some pouches on top of their clothes – especially given how many items one leaves behind in the game!
2. Winter is Coming
I have to tell you, I combined Winter is Coming – Cloaks with the mod that makes it so your character is heavily affected by the cold.
Skyrim Se Jewelry Mod Free
And it was one of the most immersive experiences that I’ve ever had in the game.
Don’t let the title of this mod fool you, though – this mod doesn’t add Game of Thrones cloaks to the game; the cloaks simply look like items that the characters wear in the famous TV show with one of the worst finales in television history.
1. Cloaks of Skyrim
Skyrim Se Jewelry Mod 3
This mod is taking the first spot on my list because of how amazingly well done the cloaks are.
Skyrim Se Jewelry Mod
They just make your character look fantastic, and there are almost 100 items that you can try out.
Never again will you feel that there aren’t enough clothing options in the game! It doesn’t matter if you’re a mage, an assassin, a rogue, a bandit, a thief, or even a commoner looking to wear new robes…
There’s one that’ll perfectly suit you in the Cloaks of Skyrim mod, and you’re gonna like the way you look. I guarantee it.
