A huge mod forThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimtakes players to the Shivering Isles on an adventure that expands the playable area of the game. Ever since the vanilla edition ofSkyrimlaunched back in 2011, modders have been making alterations to the game and adding new features. As time has passed,Skyrimmods have only become more ambitious, with some large-scale projects even seeking to recreate older titles likeOblivionandMorrowindinSkyrimvia mods.
While someSkyrimmods veer on the side of the wacky, including one that lets the Dragonborn live out a 9-5 office job, there are plenty of others that attempt to add to the game’s content and be as lore-friendly as possible.The Elder Scrollslore is full of interesting events and characters for fans, such as the Daedra, who hail from the realms of Oblivion and come in various forms. TheDaedra have appeared in everyElder Scrollsgame, but fans still have plenty of questions about them.

One new ambitiousSkyrimmod is looking to focus entirely on the mysterious Daedra, as it gives players a new questline and world space to explore. As described by the modders in a YouTube video, this new mod is a part of Skyrim: Extended Cut, which is a huge project hoping to bring together plenty of new quests, characters, and more toSkyrim. The first phase of the mod is its Saints and Seducers overhaul, which launches on Jul 16, 2025, and takes players on a new adventure in the Shivering Isles.
The Shivering Isles had not previously been explored inSkyrim, though they were the focus of aDLC forThe Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. Home to Sheogorath, one of the many Daedric Princes, the Shivering Isles reflect the mad personality of the Daedra, being split into two extreme realms known as Mania and Dementia. Picking up whereOblivionleft off, the new mod forSkyrimsees Sheogorath punishing those who turned against him in his realm by imprisoning them. The player will start off as one of these exiles, hoping to escape the Shivering Isles and Sheogorath’s madness.
Plenty of new creatures, areas, and more have been added to make the Shivering Isles as perilous as the lore makes them appear. A lot of what the new mod has to show was revealed in a trailer posted to the Skyrim: Extended Cut YouTube channel, which not only featured some unique visuals but also had narration byShirley Curry theSkyrimGrandma.
