📋 About This Mod



Ascend - Hidden Peaks of Skyrim

A game reviewer once said:

"The greatest joy in Skyrim is running up an impossibly steep mountain face."

- Phil Savage, PCGamer.

And I agree! Maybe it's the challenge, or the thrill of visiting a place we were not meant to see. Whatever the case, climbing mountains in Skyrim is fun. "Ascend - Hidden Peaks of Skyrim" provides just that. There are 10 hidden peaks for you to find, explore and conquer.

Features:

  • []🧭Rewards Exploration - This is what Skyrim is best at, and this mod excels at expanding the exploration side of the game.

    []⛰️Verticality as an Engaging Mechanic - See Skyrim like you've never seen it before and challenge yourself to get to its many peaks.

    []🙏 Faithful to the Vanilla Landscapes - The new paths are practically "invisible" and the vanilla environment itself is not changed.

    []🎨 Crafted with Love - Meditating on a peak will play a relaxing solo-flute Skyrim song, along with displaying a short poem. Total zen.

    []🧗 Expect the Unexpected: You might encounter buried secrets, ancient journals, forgotten bridges, dangerous avalanches...

    []🍃 Your Way To The Top - If you're lost while climbing, look for any sort of wind nearby. The wind shows the way.

    []⚖️ Balanced Rewards - Conquering a mountain grants you a passive bonus, but these are only active while in cold locations.

    Compatibility:🧩

    • []No vanilla or landscape edits: This makes the mod compatible with basically everything.

      []Tested with thousands of mods, no issues: This includes Majestic Mountains, Ryn's mods and Skyrim 3D rocks... 0 issues.

      []Incompatible with: "Improved Mountain Lod and Z fight patch" (As it changes the size of the mountains)

      []Skyclimbing: If you're using Skyclimb, the mod works too. Ideally you follow the path I laid out for you, but it's fine either way.

      []Stress and Fear: Meditating at the top of a mountain will reduce your stress (If you have Stress & Fear installed).

      []Custom Icons: If you have Inventory Injector installed, the new effects will display an icon.
