Cutthroat Merchants fixes that, it marks up the buying price of items significantly and does the opposite to selling price.

Getting gold in Skyrim is really easy, too easy in my opinion.

Makes dungeons incredibly dangerous, so you can’t just charge through themĬlick here for download: 2.

How Tougher Traps makes things more interesting: Stepped on a pressure plate and got a spiked gate right in the face? You’re dead, no more of only taking a few points of damage from traps that would be lethal in real life. This mod takes the normal traps in Skyrim and sky-rockets the amount of damage they do. Now that it’s ptch-black in all of the dungeons, let’s add even more danger to it with Tougher Traps.

Forces players to wield a torch in their off-hand to be able to see even a sliver of what lies beyond the darknessĬlick here for download: 3.

How Seriously Dark Dungeons makes things more interesting: This mod really immerses you in the game and forces you to pay attention instead of running through a dungeon all willy-nilly. You’re going through a Skyrim dungeon chock full of Draugr, you’re slowly making your way through the dungeon, absolutely terrifi- what’s that? You’re not scared because there’s somehow a bunch of lit torches in this ancient burial tomb and you can see perfectly fine? Ah, well, Seriously Dark Dungeons is gonna change that.

Can be used to make the game significantly more difficult if you choose a disadvantaged startĬlick here for download: 4.

Gives players the option to choose between multiple different lifestyles and backgrounds.

How Alternate Start makes things more interesting: Of course, for this to be a mod that enhances difficulty, you need to give your character a disadvantaged start, but it can definitely be used to increase difficulty nonetheless. If you’re tired of constantly starting out the same way, or just tired of the long cut scene at the start of the game, then this mod is perfect for you. The video I included for this mod is using Alternate Start along with the Beyond Skyrim - Bruma mod, but that’s only needed if you’d like to start off how they did.

Adds armor stats that determine how much a piece of armor protects you from the cold.

Adds hypothermia that you can actually die from.

This is definitely a good mod for anyone who wants to add a survival element to Skyrim. You’ll have to go through life fighting off hypothermia all while trying to save the world from a ruthless dragon. This mod adds hypothermia and realistic cold weather to Skyrim. You jump in the river to swim across… aaaaand you re-emerge from the water completely fine, not hypothermic at all, not even blue fingertips. There’s no way across, but you HAVE to get to Dawnstar for a quest, so, you make the decision. Picture this: You’re going up from Whiterun to Dawnstar and you come across a wide river.
