I’m talking hundreds of changes that go from bugs fixes to keep your save files secure. So, this mod is basically an entire overhaul of a bunch of different aspects of the game. While they have created amazing games such as this one, it would be an understatement to say that Skyrim is a ‘little buggy.’ You see, in case you haven’t noticed, Bethesda has a tendency to create their games in an outdated and broken engine. The Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch is the number one must-have PS4 mod almost anyone who plays this game. Now on the more technical side of things. There are many more features to list, but not only it’d take the entire article, it would also spoil the fun to tell you all of them. Those are only a few of the several features that enhance Skyrim’s gameplay in very small, but significant ways. If you’ve played Skyrim for longer than a couple of hours, then you’ll know which one I’m talking about. If you can’t dodge arrows, then nobody else can! Another neat little feature is that torches illuminate more, and enemies no longer make that little spin dance move when they die. It also removes that annoying sidestep that enemies can perform when shot with one of your arrows. Let’s be honest, a guard being able to identify you effortlessly from miles away is not exactly immersive. The distance that enemies can chase you has been reduced, along with their line of sight whenever you commit a crime. The result? I don’t have to worry about chickens reporting my crimes to the guards.

But now, this mod removes that feature from the game. Apparently, animals in Skyrim can report crimes, which explains a couple of things in hindsight. It’s one of those things that you never thought you needed until you got it, and now you can’t live without it.

However, after playing for a while with this mod, it’s proven to be one of those mods that’s going to remain installed for the rest of my playthroughs. Horrible Andy’s Skyrim Tweaked Effects is unique among the rest of Skyrim’s mods for the PS4 in the sense that it changes certain aspects of the game that most people would not notice at first glance.
