For those looking to turn the harsh winters of Skyrim against the player, these five mods transform Skyrim into a brutal survival game. Basic things like hunger, thirst and sleep needs are covered by a wide range of mods, though there's also a decent selection of mods for Skyrim players who want to go a bit deeper into wilderness survival.
There's something on Creation Club and Skyrim Nexus for every kind of Skyrim player, with survival mods being no different. Of course, this problem is pretty easily solved by the abundant amount of survival-themed mods that fans have created. The only problem with this kind of build is that there really isn't any game mechanics that help make it feel enjoyable outside of roleplay. Given The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim's forest-heavy environment, harsh snowstorms and abundant wildlife, it's no surprise that plenty of fans of the game love to take more of a survivalist's approach to their gameplay experience.
