The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimhas become a veritable institution in the video game industry. Theacclaimed RPG is turning 10 years old this year, andSkyrimfans have continuously returned to the game as it releases on new platforms while Bethesda works onThe Elder Scrolls 6.Skyrim’s modding community has played a big part in its longevity, and one creator has been working on a project that adds new content from another major fantasy property.
On June 01, 2025, a modder who goes by Gardden uploaded “A Witcher’s Adventure” to Nexus Mods, adding elements fromThe Witcheruniverse created by Andrzej Sapkowski and popularized by CD Projekt Red’s video game adaptations intoSkyrim. The mod has been updated since, and on June 18, 2025 a backport compatible withSkyrim: Legendary Editionwas released alongside the more modernSpecial Edition.

In its current iteration, “A Witcher’s Adventure” addsfive signs fromThe Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, numerous potions and ingredients, more than 40 swords, nine new monsters, Kaer Fendargh as a Worldspace, and a Skill Tree with 33 perks, according to its landing page on Nexus Mods. There is also a three-part main quest and two side quests included, which should offer plenty for anyone interested in seeing the world ofSkyrimtake on a whole new fantasy setting.
CD Projekt Red’s latest venture,Cyberpunk 2077, has not been near as much of a critical success asThe Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.Its problematic launch led to Sony pulling the game off its PlayStation Store, andCD Projekt Red has also been hit with a class-action lawsuitfrom some of its investors.
That being said, many still have affection for CD Projekt’sWitcherseries, which helped popularize the original Polish novels and led to other adaptations such as an ongoing television series on Netflix. WhileCyberpunk 2077contains references toThe Witcheruniverse, anyone looking to see the fantasy-adventure game’s charm appear in new entries can turn to Gardden’s mod as an in-depth alternative.
Skyrimis the most popular game on Nexus Mods, hosting over 65,000 files that have collectively been downloaded over 1.8 billion times as of this writing. Many mods there and on other sites introduce new gameplay elements or mechanics, but others are purely technical achievements, such as one that allowsSkyrimto run at 60FPS on Xbox Series X.
Meanwhile,The Witcher 3also has an active modding community for those who would rather return to its world overCyberpunk 2077’s Night City. While some mods add entirely new mechanics, there are also more silly choices such as one mod thatreplaces allThe Witcher 3’s romance options with Yennefer.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimis available now on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
