📋 About This Mod
SOLSTHEIM IN SKYRIM
Hello, all. Solsthiem in Skyrim is back up, now for all SE and AE users.
After all this time, this is still a permenant mod in my game.
No more empty beaches, this mod allows more Dragonborn DLC monsters in Skyrim
including Netches, Lurkers, and some rieklings to the north tundra.
Why? Because it's atmospheric and needed.
Mods that go REALLY GREAT WITH THIS.

Cleaned with tes5edit. Super, super, mod compatible friendly.
If you manage to make this mod incompatible, future modders will need to study your genius.
This mod improves the Northern Coast by placing new creatures from the Dragonborn DLC.
These include Netches, Lurkers, and Seekers.
I have used this for my own for a while. I really like it and I find it essential.
Small file, big difference!
Feel like the coasts were missing some sort of, awe?
Solstheim in Skyrim fixes that by placing some very much aesthetic creatures to fill in the empty spaces.
These creatures have been carefully placed by me for the best scenic transformations to the Sea of Ghosts.
Compatibility
1. Uses only the Dragonborn DLC for the creatures, so its very safe and performance friendly.
2. does not delete anything or affect Skyrim esm
3. works great with other mods including Northern Encounters.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Small file, big difference – fills empty coastal areas with atmospheric creatures
- Performance friendly since it only uses Dragonborn DLC assets
- Compatibility-focused – author claims it's super mod friendly and doesn't alter Skyrim.esm
⚠️ Cons
- Only 66 endorsements – a niche mod that hasn't gained wide traction
- Adds creatures that may not fit everyone's lore or visual preferences
- Potential conflicts with other mods that edit the same coastal spawn points, despite claims of compatibility
For Skyrim players who want to liven up the northern coast with Dragonborn creatures without heavy performance costs. If you enjoy atmospheric wildlife and subtle environmental changes, this is a nice addition. Skip if you prefer vanilla creature placement or want more substantial gameplay changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an ESL-flagged mod, it won't count toward your plugin limit, so you can safely add it to any load order.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install and manage it, even though manual installation is simple.
- If you use other mods that add creatures to the northern coast, place this mod earlier in your load order to ensure compatibility.
