📋 About This Mod

Select Language

French | German | Italian | Russian | Spanish

The three main components of Frostfall are Hypothermia, Cold Water Survival, and Camping.

The primary objective of this mod is to add a deep, immersive level of gameplay to Skyrim, while keeping tedium to a minimum. An immersion mod should never get in the way of having fun.

Frostfall uses a sophisticated system to track your location, weather, time of day, worn clothing, and more, to determine your current condition, in a seamless and immersive way. Combined with Campfire, it also features a large variety of craftable camping equipment, including craftable torches. It is highly customizable, and very compatible with most other mods, including Real Shelter, Climates of Tamriel, Wet and Cold, worn cloaks, food, timescale, lighting, werewolf, and vampire mods.

Frostfall 3 requires the latest version of Campfire, SKSE 1. 7. 3+, and SkyUI 4. 1+. To use certain advanced features, like the SkyUI Add-On, SkyUI 5. 1+ is required.
