Nexus Community Loading Screens
A collaborative project
ORIGINAL (OLDRIM) VERSION: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/73151/?
(Thanks to Nexus user LID919 for the converted files!)
Nexus Community Loading Screens is a project I started early 2016 to add variety to the game's loading screens over time, based on the contributions of Nexus screen archers who would send me their in-game screenshots.
It started off modestly enough, with about two dozen or so original images, and over the weeks, months, and then finally over a year later I would gradually add more and more images.
Now it's up to a total of 500 unique images, and the original mod was downloaded over 21,000 times by over 10,000 different unique users! It really blows my mind sometimes to think about just how many people used it. You could fill up a damn hockey stadium with this many people! :O
I still haven't even goten around to installing SE, but I've been assured by LID919 that his converted files work flawlessly, so hopefully some of you SE users out there can now appreciate the talent available on the Nexus!
I just want to say a big "thank you" to all the different users who contributed to the original mod. If you want to see full credits for the different images, you can see them on the image section of the original mod.
Enjoy! :)
NCLS - Nexus Community Loading Screens SE brings 500 community-made loading screens from Oldrim to Skyrim Special Edition. It's a simple UI overhaul that adds visual variety to loading times, perfect for players who want fresh artwork without gameplay changes. With 372 endorsements and 5,688 downloads, it's a modestly popular cosmetic mod.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- 500 new loading screens is a solid amount of variety—you won't see the same image every time.
- Community-driven content means you get a mix of styles and subjects, not just one artist's vision.
- Decent track record: 372 endorsements and 5,688 downloads show it's been used by a fair number of players.
⚠️ Cons
- Being from 2020, it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim SE updates or the Anniversary Edition.
- Since it's a port from Oldrim, some screens might have lower resolution or visual quirks compared to native SE mods.
- It's purely cosmetic—if you're looking for gameplay or UI functionality changes, this won't deliver.
For Skyrim SE players who want to freshen up their loading screens with community art and don't mind a simple drop-in mod. If you're a completionist who likes collecting visual mods, this is a nice addition. Skip if you want gameplay tweaks or need compatibility with the latest game version.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—it'll handle the file placement automatically.
- Check if your Skyrim SE version is pre-Anniversary Edition; if you're on AE, you might need to test if the mod still works or look for an updated version.
- Since it's just textures, you can safely remove it anytime without breaking your save.
