Skyrim Special Edition accounted for 65% of all Nexus Mods downloads last month, proving that the wait for The Elder Scrolls 6 is nothing more than a skill issue

Over a decade has passed since 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Bethesda Game Studios blessed us with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Skyrim, arguab🔴ly the company's most iconic RPG to date - and players evidently are sti🐎ll not sick of it, judging by the Special Edition's downloads on Nexus Mods.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Skyrim mods aren't going anywhere, it seems, and Nexus Mods serves as proof. The platform for sharing and downloading user-created mods for games is iconic to fans of Elder Scrolls titles and other big RPGs, ranging from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Baldur's Gate 3 to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher 3. Of all t🌠he games with mods on Nexus, however, there's one that downright dominates - and it's none other than Skyrim's 2016 ꦛSpecial Edition.

(highlighted via ), November saw around 393 million mod downloads in total. Of these almost 400 million downloads, Skyrim Special Edition took up a whopp⛎ing 255 million - that means that just under 65% of all mods downloaded from the Nexus were for Bethesda's revamped RPG. In othღer words, the Special Edition accounted for a wild two-thirds or so of Nexus Mods' ever-growing traffic.

Considering how many other games' mods are available, these figures are mind-boggling. Bethesda takes up a massive lion's share of downloads - by the time you add Fallout, Oblivion, and OG Skyrim, you're looking at a full 74% of all the mods installed last month. Soanfriwack points out that the only other "significant" games taking up that remaining 26% are Baldur's Gate 3, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Cyberpunk 2077, and Stardew Valley.

As a Skyrim stan myself, though, I doubt those figures will change any time soon. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Elder Scrolls 6 is still likely qui🌳te a long while away from arriving, and creative modders are constantly uploading new downloads on Nexus' website. Just today, I can see 90 new mods have been posted with ꩲalmost 500 across the week thus far. 

"It makes me sick": Skyrim modder with 475,000 downloads, fed up with "daily harassment," abandons modding after "thousands of hours" of work on what she calls "the most advanced follower to ever exist"
