Skyrim New Lands Mods 2019
Created by modder Venjhammet, the mod adds a new location approximately the size of Solstheim – the island that sits in the Sea of Ghosts, between the shores of Skyrim and Morrowind – to the game. It's an archipelago of five islands, including the 'Mainland itself,' and introduces 'dozens' of new places to explore – and it's 'inspired by the Skellige of Witcher 3.'
To get to it, you'll need to head to the frosty city of Dawnstar and take a ship from its harbour to Vominheim. Once there, you'll find everything you'll need – tavern, blacksmith, an apothecary, and spell stores, as well as caves, mines, dungeons, and camps to discover – and plunder. While there's no questline as such, the creator has included 'written quest notes, treasure hunts, and journals with some background stories' scattered around, saying: 'You can expect dungeons and caves to be highly detailed and immersive.'
