Skyrim mod flood incoming

Some early mods for Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim have shown up already, but the scene is soon to get a whole lot more plentiful: Bethesda's Creation Kit is releasing in January, alongside extensive wiki documentation.

The Creation Kit is the toolset the developer themselves used to make the game, so you'll have no shortage of options for making custom content, full conversions, etc.

If you're not the modding type, this is still important for you as a PC gamer, as it means you can sit back and watch the mods roll in, then download away, whether it's improved graphics mods or gameplay tweaks or whatever else.

Yet more good news: the SDK this time around will feature Steam Workshop integration, meaning easy mod uploading, downloading, rating, sorting, and so on. Those who prefer avenues like Nexus will still be able to use these just fine, however.

Naturally, we'll have our own full list of notable mods as things get going to help you sort through the muck. For now, a few can be found here.
