📋 About This Mod

Compatible with Skyrim AE & Skyrim SE

VR version in the optional files section!

Synergizes with Skyrim Cheat Engine!

Proteus will redefine how you play Skyrim. Play as multiple characters within the same game world, on the same save game file - all with their own unique appearance, perks, spells, items, and stats. Make permanent or temporary edits to NPCs, weapons, armors, spells, weather, and more in-game. You can edit all content found in vanilla Skrim as well as all content found in any Skyrim mod.

Upon starting Skyrim with PROTEUS installed, you will automatically have the "Proteus - Wheel" spell added.

In order to access modules added by this mod, you must cast this spell (like a shout/power) or use MCM configurable hotkeys
