Since its release on 11.11.11, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has sold millions of copies, won innumerable awards, risen to the top of Steam’s ‘Most Played’ list, and has been modded extensively. Today, that modding got a whole lot easier with the release of the Creation Kit™, the official Skyrim mod development kit, and Steam Workshop, a mod resource built directly into Steam.
Using the Creation Kit™ modders develop their new or edited content, click a button, and watch as their creation is uploaded directly to the Steam Workshop where Skyrim players can view its contents, rate it, comment on it, and see how popular it is with the community. Beyond these key features, the most important aspect of the Steam Workshop is the ‘Subscribe’ button. By clicking it, the mod is downloaded and installed automatically the next time Skyrim is started, and from that point forth automatically checked for updates, removing the need to manually delete, overwrite and add files. And if you want the mod gone, simply click the Subscribe button once more and the Workshop will take care of the rest. Alternatively, launch Skyrim, and in ‘Data Files’ menu uncheck the mod you want to delete.
