10 Best Skyrim Mods That Make It The Perfect Game

4. Realistic Needs and Diseases

Nexus Download Nearly every open world game of this nature has some sort of "needs" mod, which just goes to show that a huge portion of players won't be satisfied unless they can die of starvation on their journey to save the world. It's not hard to see why; whether you're a hardcore enthusiast thirsty for a challenge or just a stickler for immersive gameplay, there's plenty of reason to download Realistic Needs and Diseases for that extra level of engagement. For those looking to really immerse themselves into Tamriel, having to carry out daily tasks such as eating, drinking, sleeping, and staying healthy all contribute to a feeling of authenticity, like you're really "there". Something as simple as sitting down in a tavern for a short meal before or after hunting can be the perfect way to bookend a long day of adventuring. In addition, this mod also makes the game much more difficult in non-traditional aspects, as large amounts of food can no longer scarfed down in the middle of battle without penalty. Diseases are much harsher, meaning you can't go into battle with Ataxia and Rockjoint without having a little bit of trouble. For doing exactly what it says on the tin, and doing it extremely well, Realistic Needs and Diseases easily earns a spot on this list for being one of the best mods of this nature out there.
