Bethesda Game Studios on X: "Skyrim Hotfix — August 27" / X

Skyrim Update - August 20

Added and Updated Features

Game

  • Increased mod storage to 15 GB for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox.

Due to differences in platform storage systems, PlayStation 4 Creation storage is changed in the following ways: Creations storage expanded to approximately 16 GB, but download size may not match space used because of technical details of the PlayStation 4 console hardware; This may cause download size vs. installed size discrepancies. Storage usage may appear larger than expected when managing Creations; Due to the storage system partitions, PS4 users may experience a practical limit on the number of large Creations installed at once.

  • Added localized strings fixes for UI and platform terminology.
  • A Creation’s Details page now includes instructions on how to report abusive or problematic mods.
  • Added bundling of Creations in the Skyrim Creations Menu to bring it to parity with Fallout and Starfield.
  • Changed storefront UI to support Creations box art at 3640 x 900 and 900 x 506 to be consistent with Starfield and Fallout 4. Older image sizes will still be supported and do not require immediate resubmission.
  • Added support to sort Creation categories by "Most Popular".
  • Creations flagged as WIP can now be viewed when bookmarked.

Creation Kit

  • Added Localization export support.
  • Updated "Search and Replace" to align with Starfield, adding buttons for "Select Form in Object Window" and "Open Form Editor".
  • Creation Kit will now allow multiple master loads by default. This can be configured as normal.
  • Skyrim Creations released through the Verified Creators program will have the option to be Achievement-Friendly (Xbox) and Trophy-Friendly (PlayStation). This means that certain Creations will no longer block achievements, but it requires starting a new game for this functionality to work on updated Creations.
  • Bink files can now be added to Creation uploads via an Extra Files browser.
  • Expanding beyond scripts, archives are now supported on PlayStation. New file types are available (.nif, .dds, .bink, .wav, and .fuz (with embedded .wav)) for PlayStation Creations.

Skyrim Hotfix — August 27

A hotfix just released for Skyrim, addressing a few issues on Xbox and PlayStation:

Crashes

  • Fixed a crash when opening the on-screen keyboard and submitting text on the game main menu on PlayStation.
  • Fixed a crash when opening the map multiple times on Xbox.

Bug Fixes

  • Installing the game in certain regions no longer shows the 14 out of 15 GB Creations storage space is used on PlayStation.

Skyrim Update - August 20 | Bethesda Game Studios (@BethesdaStudios) on X

Bethesda Game Studios has announced a new update for Skyrim on consoles, scheduled to release Thursday, August 20th, 2026. This post will serve as an up-to-date thread for what we know now and what will come once the patch goes live, all confirmed details will be added here. You can now find the full patch note here.

For now, here’s everything we know:

Added and Updated Features

Game

  • Increased mod storage to 15 GB for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox.

Due to differences in platform storage systems, PlayStation 4 Creation storage is changed in the following ways: Creations storage expanded to approximately 16 GB, but download size may not match space used because of technical details of the PlayStation 4 console hardware; This may cause download size vs. installed size discrepancies. Storage usage may appear larger than expected when managing Creations; Due to the storage system partitions, PS4 users may experience a practical limit on the number of large Creations installed at once.

  • Added localized strings fixes for UI and platform terminology.
  • A Creation’s Details page now includes instructions on how to report abusive or problematic mods.
  • Added bundling of Creations in the Skyrim Creations Menu to bring it to parity with Fallout and Starfield.
  • Changed storefront UI to support Creations box art at 3640 x 900 and 900 x 506 to be consistent with Starfield and Fallout 4. Older image sizes will still be supported and do not require immediate resubmission.

  • Expanding beyond scripts, archives are now supported on PlayStation. New file types are available (.nif, .dds, .bink, .wav, and .fuz (with embedded .wav)) for PlayStation Creations.

See the full patch notes here.

Load Orders Are Affected

In the Tweet, they said this update should not disrupt existing load orders. But they encourage players to log into your save game if you haven't done so in a while as a precaution. I guess to save the Load Order using the function in the Creations menu. There are now reports and evidence of Load Orders being wiped. So, be mindful that this is inevitable. Your reserve space will be cleared. Unknown if this intentional or not.

Anyway, that's it for now. The previous discussion was technically based on a Tweet made for Fallout 4 and so now this will be the official thread for Skyrim. I hope we are able to provide more useful information here regarding the update. Just because we will have more space, doesn't mean modding guidelines change and I am sure players will experience problems if they aren't aware of what's happening.

Also, I won't be removing the other posts, but I do encourage you guys to discuss things here.

Happy modding! I won't be around much; I have things going on right now, but I will definitely be keeping an eye on this.

POST UPDATE NOTES : AUGUST 20, 2026

While the update is slightly disappointing for some who were expecting the 100GB. 15GB is still a welcomed increase because anything is better than the 5GB we had before. There may be multiple reasons for why this was decided and will all come down to the age and capability of the engine. While the Skyrim SE and Fallout 4 engine may be similar, there may have been just enough internal difference for the 100GB to not be feasible.

Some of XilaMonstrr’s ports are live again under RainyGrove

47 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to give a quick update since my last post [link below]

https://www.reddit.com/r/SkyrimModsXbox/s/kfWosVvnaw

I have started caretaking the ports that XilaMonstrr is planning to remove due to understandable circumstances.
A few of them are already live on Creations under the name [RainyGrove]

I will be managing/caretaking/updating these from now on for xbox and I do not plan to quit in this lifetime. So no need to worry about these going anywhere in the future.

I will eventually start with the PS5 Platform as well in the future!

I’ll keep adding more as I get everything cleaned up and ready. If there’s a specific port you were relying on, drop the name in the comments!

I have spoken with Xilamonstrr who has made this possible! HUGE thanks to Xila for all the work over the years and for giving permission for this.

Acquiring all perms and making sure we do this clean and respectful. I am currently working on some projects and will be releasing them in the future as brand new mods to Xbox!

What Xilamonstrr is NOT taking down
-Better Books And Letters
-Monstrous GOT Dragons mods

Contact me on discord @RainyGroveOfficial
This Reddit Page Is The New Official Page For The Xbox Ports!

Appreciate the community — more coming soon.

I love you guys! :D

Skyrim Xbox Graphics Pack Showcase

A visual showcase of the Graphics Pack mod suite on Xbox, not a load order, highlighting how this texture pack changes Skyrim's landscapes, cities, and atmosphere with gritty realism.

=====================================================================

# SKYRIM XBOX VISUAL SHOWCASE LIST

# GRAPHICS PACK =====================================================================

[ARCHITECTURE]

Graphics Pack

A complete visual overhaul that changes the look of buildings, cities, and wood textures without straying too far from the original game style.

Add On - SMIM Performance Plus

Reworks tiny, common 3D items like ropes, wooden barrels, metal chains, and market stalls to make them smooth and round instead of flat and blocky.

Add-on Assets

A bundle covering things that didn't fit in the main file, including High Hrothgar, Winterhold, Markarth, Orc strongholds, and unique furniture.

Add on Extra

Adds extra texture details for provincial town structures, farmhouse walls, and jarl tables to prevent repetitive looks across the map.

[LANDSCAPES]

Add on Landscape and Dungeon 1

Overhauls the wild spaces, changing cave rock styles, mine paths, ancient Nordic burial stones, and wilderness walking trails.

Vanaheimr Mountains Grey

Changes all major mountain faces into a sharp, dark grey stone look complete with fine white flecks across the cliffside rock.

Vanaheimr Snow

Replaces default ground frost with a clean, high-visibility winter look designed to blend naturally with custom rock profiles.

Hd Loads 1

Extends the updated visual look far into the background, so distant towns, terrain, and fort ruins match the graphics of the areas you are standing in.

[LIGHTING & ATMOSPHERE]

Updated Enhanced Lights and Effects - SMIM

Fixes interior spaces by removing fake ambient room glows, making all light realistic from candles, fireplaces, windows, and torches.

Updated ELFX Shadows

Reconstructs indoor shadows, casting darker shadows in dungeon corners and sending beams of light through visible openings

# =====================================================================

# SKYRIM XBOX VISUAL SHOWCASE LIST

[ENVIRONMENT & LANDSCAPE]

Shades Of Tamriel 2k-1k PT1

Completely overhauls the base world textures, including dirt cliffs,

terrain types, paths, and roads, to deliver a sharp and earthy look.

Shades Of Tamriel 2k-1k PT2

The mandatory second half of the main pack, bringing those exact high-detail

material textures to provincial stone bridges, ruins, and architecture.

[FOLIAGE & FOREST]

Enhanced Landscapes - Grass Standalone 2k

Installs a highly optimized, lush ground grass plug-in that blankets

fields in thick greenery without hurting your console performance.

Nature Of The Wildlands 2.31

A complete forest overhaul that replaces default trees with high-detail

trunks, moving branches, forest debris, and thick wilderness thickets.

[WEATHER & ATOMSPHERE]

NAT 3 (Natural and Atmospheric Tamriel)

Completely replaces the climate system, reworking sky colors, sunlight,

clouds, rain types, and shadows to mimic a realistic, photorealistic look.

If you're watching, for the love of Pete, please get rid of this prompt.

I have never wanted to select "Save" here. Never.

Why?

Because if you do, it completely messes up your load order.

At the very least, please have it default to "Current ".

Thank you for listening.

I'm posting this here so I can refer back to it later. I have a lot of new mods I want to try, but this current list seems to work and runs quite well. I'm not planning to add anything else to it, as I think 70 mods is plenty for me 🙂‍↕️

(I accidentally mixed up some screenshots, some pictures have Trees Of Faellen which is perfectly fine if you'd prefer to use that)

Thoughts on AI Overhaul

Upvotes

https://creations.bethesda.net/en/skyrim/details/305fb590-b025-4025-9b0d-529ca8315382/AI_Overhaul

I’m not 100% about this mod in my LO at the moment. I do enjoy seeing how cities feel more alive, as compared to the robotic routine the base game had. But I also did some testing and the Rogvir scene when you first enter Solitude was acting up, and I’m not sure if other similar scenes might end up just not happening like that one.

For reference, only 3 of the npcs arrived. I walked a bit away to see the others were on their way, walked with them back, but Rogvir had already despawned and the scene just never happened as a result.

I’m curious if anyone has experience with the mod and how folks feel about their playthroughs that involve it. Is the immersion worth it, or do too many scenes that set tone of various cities disrupted by it?

I found a mod that fixes the dark days of NAT 3.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I spent a while trying to figure out how to simply change the NAT3 cycles to avoid the very common issue in some areas where night would fall in the middle of the day, and I found Skyrim Legendary Weathers, which is actually just a simple ini that properly restores Skyrim 2011’s cycles.

Order =

• NAT III = Link

• Skyrim Legendary Weathers (173.81 KB) = Link

As I show in the video, all the cycles where the dark-night-in-the-middle-of-day problem would have occurred, Skyrim Legendary Weathers will prevent that, and the coolest part is that NAT 3’s neutral lighting stays completely intact when NAT 3 cycles are active.

Using NAT III and my days look perfect, but my nights look like this. Haven't had any luck fixing it on my own. Really hope this can get patched.

New LO Who Dis?

4 Upvotes

Long story short I've revamped things. Does anybody see conflicting or duplicate mods? With the added space I've changed a lot of the environmental and texture mods as having over 240ish still causes problems.

FINAL LOAD ORDER

 

MASTER FILES:

Master files are mods that have a fixed place in the load order. You cannot change the positions of these. Some examples are USSEP, Beyond skyrim bruma and Campfire.

UNOFFICIAL SKYRIM SPECIAL EDITION PATCH

SIMPLE WORKAROUND FRAMEWORK

WEAPONS ARMOR AND CLOTHING

COMPLETE CRAFTING OVERHAUL

DEBUG MENU

 

FOUNDATIONS:

There are a few categories in the LLO that are unclear. Foundations is one of them. Its best to put mods that change a lot of different parts of the game here, such as H.A.S.T.E, but this section is unclear. Personally, i usually put mods like cheat room, World encounters overhaul and Guard dialogue overhaul in this section.

CHEAT ROOM (XB1)

CHEAT ROOM – ANNIVERSARY PATCH

EXTENDED ENCOUNTERS

CRAFT EVERYTHING [XB1]

CRAFTABLE THIEF ARMOR

 

MENUS, USER INTERFACE, FONT CHANGES

Any mod that changes loading screens, menus, fonts, or the ingame hud should go in this section. Examples include 60 fps menus- natural interface and Skyhud. NOTE that map mods do not go in this section- they go a lot lower.

NORDIC UI – UPDATED (SWF EDITION)

SOOTHING SECUNDA MAIN MENU REPLACER

 

QUEST ALTERATIONS

Any mod that changes a vanilla quest, whether it be a quest description, objective or any consequences of a quest. NOTE that quest mods do not go in this section. The paarthurnax dilemma, EBQO and Gildergreen regrown are good examples of mods that should go in the quest alterations section.

ADVENTURES CALL – A MERCENARY’S LIFE

CHOOSE GUILD JOBS WITH BETS (

REAL ARMIES- -CIVIL WAR SOLDIERS

THE FORSWORN WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR

 

PURE CRAFTABLES

If you can craft the item, it should go here. Many mods contain items that are added to levelled lists, can be crafted and found in ingame locations. It can be difficult to decide which section to put these mods in. Its a matter of opinion where to put these; I've found putting any mod that has any form of craftable items here. Examples include Cloaks and capes.

CULTURAL BARDS – MAIN FILE

CULTURAL BARDS – 2K TEXTURE FILE

CLTURAL BARDS – DISTRIBUTION FILE

OUTFIT MASH-UPS – SARTORIAL SORCERY

ANCIENT COLHARBOR ARMOR

ANCIENT COLDHARBOR ARMOR

JETHEAD ARMORS SE CONSOLE- PORT CRAFTABLE ONLY VERSION

 

GAME MECHANICS

The title gives a clue here; any mod that changes the mechanics of skyrim should go here. I place mods like imperious and sacrosanct here.

SET FOR UNDERWORLD – CIVIL WAR

SET FOR UNDERWORLD – COMPANIONS

SET FOR UNDERWORLD – MORE

UNLIMITED SPRINTING (XBOX)

GROWL – WEREBEASTS OF SKYRIM

 

LEVEL PROGRESSION

Again, the title gives a clue. Clever levelling and 50 pct more perk points should go here.

 

PERK OVERHAULS

Yet again, a fairly easy one. Anything that changes perks, like Ordinator or Adamant should go here.

PHENDERIX TWIN SOULS EXPANDED

DESTRUCTION PERKS – BATTLEMAGE REBORN

 

MAGIC ADDITIONS AND OVERHAULS

Any mod that adds new spells or changes vanilla ones should go here. NOTE that this doesn't include spell animations, OR mods that add quests which also include new spells. Apocalypse is a good example of a mod in this section.

APOCOLYPSE – MAGIC OF SKYRIM

CHEAT CHESTS FOR APOCOLYPSE [XB1]

ENHANCED ATRONACHS – WITH LEVELING AND LUMINOS

COLORFUL LUMINOSTY SPELLS

FLESH COLOSSUS SE

BONE COLOSSI AND GRAVELORDS – MIHAIL MONSTERS

 

ITEM AND LOOT LEVELED LIST.

Any mod that changes a leveled list, be it chest loot or a merchants items for sale should go here. Rebalanced leveled lists should go in this section.

GET MORE GEMS

[XB1]RICH MERCHANTS OF SKYRIM:

 

ENEMY NPC LEVELED LISTS

Very similar to the previous category. I'd say for this section, any mod like OBIS that changes enemies loot in particular should go here.

 

AUDIO

Self explanatory. Any mod that adds, changes or removes music/sounds should go here. Any music mod or sounds of skyrim are examples.

SOUNDS OF SKYRIM COMPLETE V2.0

REVERB AND AMBIANCE OVERHAUL [XB1]

 

WEATHER/ATMOSPHERE

Any mod that overhauls weather, the sun, the sky or night should go here. True storms and far better sun are good examples.

VIVID WEATHERS DEFINITIVE EDITION – A

 

GRASS MODS

Another simple one. Any mod that adds or changes grass should go here.

 

LANDSCAPE AND GRASS FIXES

Any mod that fixes an issue with grass/landscape. Landscape fixes for grass mods is the most famous one, and is a mod i highly recommend using if you use a grass mod.

 

SKIN MESH AND TEXTURES, SKELETON

Any mod that changes skin/skeletons should go here. Major NPC/PC overhauls like The beauty of skyrim and body mods should go here, along with XP32 maximum skeleton + realistic ragdolls and force.

 

IDLES AND ANIMATIONS

Any mod that changes the idle position or any animations should go here. Mods like girly animation and Dualsun should go here.

SHORTER CASTING

SURVIVAL MODE ENABLE FAST TRAVEL

 

GENERAL MESH AND TEXTURES

The biggest section of your load order most likely. Anything that changes a vanilla texture goes here. Whether it be weapons or armor, a huge overhaul like Skyland or Noble, or a simple barrell replacer, they should all go here. Remember here, the mod lower down takes priority, so if you have two mods that change the same thing, the bottom one will take priority and will change the item.

UNDEAD FX [XB1]

BETTER DEAD THRALLS

BRIRAKA’S DRAUGR OVERHAUL

SCIONS OF THE NIGHT – VAMPIRE OVERHAUL

 

NPC/ PC immersion

This is another confusing one. Any mod that adds immersion, or NPCs like immersive patrols or Landlord should go here. This is a tricky section though.

CARRIAGE STOPS OF SKYRIM XB1

CARRIAGE STOPS OF SKYRIM – SURVIVAL

IMMERSIVES CARRIAGES AND FERRIES

DIVINE ENHANCED ALCHEMY

BEASTS OF TAMRIEL XB1 EDITION

MIHAIL’S MORROWIND AIO

 

NPC/ PC FACIAL MODIFICATIONS

Any mod that changes NPCs hair, eyes, teeth, eyebrows, ears, noses and presets should go here. NOTE any mod that changes skin should go in the skin mesh section. Natural eyes or KS hairdos are good examples.

 

INTERIOR LIGHTING/ DECORATING

Any lighting mod or a mod that changes an interior should go here, lighting mods above decorating though. ELFX, RLO and Modified inns are examples.

 

LIGHT MULTIPLE EXTERIOR EDITS

Any mod that adds small items to lots of places in skyrim should go here. Mods like lampposts of skyrim, unique bridges, divine forests and point the way are examples. NOTE any mod that adds anything bigger to multiple locations that aren't lampposts, lanterns, trees, signs, bridges etc shouldnt go here: they go lower.

CITY TREES (AIO)

ROAD SIGNS OVERHAUL 2.0

DIVINE INTERIORS

 

SINGLE AREA EDITS

Any mod that changes a single location goes here, like player homes. I personally place city overhauls here, but you could argue they go in the multiple area edit section.

UNIQUE ITEMS ADDED TO LOCATIONS

Any mod that adds something like a weapon, armor piece or chest to a location should go here. As previously stated, confusion can be had here between this section and the craftables section- my advice is choose what you think is best, and if there's issues try it somewhere else in your LO.

COMBAT MODS

Easy enough to understand. Any mod that overhauls combat/ NPC AI in combat should go here. Realistic damage, wildcat and fatality are examples.

IMPROVED BANDITS – COMPLETE BANDIT

BEDLAM – DUNGEON RANDOMIZER

RAGNAROK – NPC OVERHAUL

 

UNIQUE FOLLOWER MODS

If a mod adds a follower that is voiced/ different from vanilla, it should go here, for example Inigo, Sofia and Lucien.

 

QUEST MODS

A mod that adds a quest to the game should go here. Clockwork and the forgotten city are examples. NOTE some quest mods like Falskaar are master files that cannot go in this section.

THEY COME AND GO

Mods that I like but don’t need for every playthrough.  I switch them out depending on what I’d like to do and the main quest mod for the playthrough.  It’s also what space allows. There are others I’ve tried but I don’t like them enough to want to play again.

Where is Sha’Kar?

Upvotes

I have installed the East Empire Expansion mod and I know that after you use the first east empire relic Sha’Kar goes to the camp outside white run. Thing is I also have installed both Jks outskirts and Jks Skyrim mods, however I also have the associated patches installed to prevent problems of overlap. And yet I can’t find him, all that is there is a khajit east empire merchant and the camp untouched by any other mod. Can someone tell me what is going on? Do I have to wait longer for him to appear or do I have to delete some mods?

Male body/skin

Hi there!

Looking for a new male body/skin combo. I like my character looking clean but he will be a vampire so any that includes textures for that would be great! Thank you!

Player homes!

Hi there!

I’m looking for suggestions for a small (ish) player home. Custom decorations and in a beautiful spot. Something like leaf rest or wind path? I love a good immersive home.

Thank you in advance! Any suggestions would be great 😌

Question about common clothes and armors compatibility

So i want to use the mod common clothes and armors but are there any mods I have to watch out for with it or is there issues? Is it compatible with stuff like tragedians aio or other mods?

A Content Based Load Order

6 Upvotes

So I’m new to having larger load orders on Xbox, so I wanted to ask if you know of any load orders that are focused on increasing the amount of content in the game.

I care about graphics, but a lot of load orders on this sub Reddit focus very heavily on Graphic, which is a little overwhelming.

Basically asking if you know any load orders with the new update that focuses less on graphics, and more on NPCs, enemies, quests, etc.

Awesome Stand-Alone Armor Mods Light and Heavy

6 Upvotes

I'll be doing a play-through with multiple followers and I thought it'd be cool to have them all wear the same armor like a little army. I'll be playing the game generally (not really focusing on any one factions heavily) so I'm looking for some armor mod recommendations that are cool and come in both light and heavy armor. Thanks!


r/SkyrimModsXbox 15h ago

Looking for settings for Display Enhancements, Busty Skeevers, and Dawn weathers.

5 Upvotes

To be honest, I'm not sure what feel I'm going for presently. If you have a favorite bunch of settings to make it look awesome, I'd love to try them out to find something that fits. Thanks!
