Glory's Scaling Standing Stones is a proof-of-concept difficulty adjuster and Standing Stone overhaul for Skyrim Special Edition.

Requires USSEP and is incompatible with other Standing Stone overhauls like Andromeda or Mundus.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 85 endorsements and over 13,000 downloads, so it's been tested by plenty of players.
- The scaling mechanic is a fresh take on Standing Stones—it actually makes the game harder as you level, which is rare in Skyrim mods.
- Detailed breakdown of every stone's bonuses means you know exactly what you're getting before you install.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires USSEP, so if you're not running that patch, you're out of luck.
- Incompatible with popular Standing Stone overhauls like Andromeda and Mundus, so you'll have to choose between them.
- Last updated in 2020, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or other mods that have changed since then.
For Skyrim players who want a built-in difficulty curve that makes the game tougher as you level up, without needing a full difficulty overhaul. Also for those who like the idea of Standing Stones but find them too powerful late-game. Skip if you prefer mods that make you stronger over time, or if you're already using Andromeda or Mundus.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have USSEP installed before adding this mod, or it won't work.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file placement to avoid conflicts.
- Check your load order to ensure this mod loads after USSEP and any other Standing Stone mods you might have.
