UGO’s Top Mods for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

If you’re on the lookout for another list of desirable mods for the PC version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, you’ll want to check out the eleven modifications that are spotlighted in this new three-page feature over at UGO. Let’s go with #10 and #2:

Enhanced Distant Terrain

While some of these mods are designed to make the game more fun to play, many others are just designed to give graphical facelifts to certain areas.

FXAA Post Process Injector

This is an amazing graphics mod that lets you apply post-production filters to your Skyrim appearance, making the game look vastly different in a number of ways. Sharpening helps you get rid of blurring and create a clearer image and bloom lets light sources create a warm glow. Throw in a ton of other filters and options – including a great sepia filter and Technicolor processing – and you can make the game look exactly like you need it to.
