It’s particularly effective at higher resolutions, so if your computer can run it without problem it’s definitely a worthwhile 3GB download. The HD texture pack is another great addition, bringing much clearer and larger textures to pretty much every object in the game. It’s a world of difference from the traditional copy-files-blindly method or the slightly more civilised use-an-external-mod-manager style, and should make installing mods a lot more popular.
The Workshop handles mod installation brilliantly you can install a mod with one click and it’ll be kept updated for perpetuity. All of the mods are available online on the Steam Workshop, which is already full of nearly 1,000 mods just a few days after release. The Creation Kit works similarly to previous iterations, allowing you to do anything from minor changes to creating whole new creatures, characters, quests and areas. All three are fantastic, so let’s have a look at them in turn. As well as the highly anticipated release of the game’s official Creation Kit, Bethesda has also released two sparkling surprises alongside it: A HD texture pack (as some guessed would be coming) and a Valve-developed mod called Fall of the Space Core, Vol. It’s been a great week to be a Skyrim fan.
