I think you guys greatly overestimate how important mods are to Skyrim. Based on the available sales data, for instance, the median gamer played Skyrim on the Xbox 360.

Mods definitely helped prolong its cultural influence in terms of viral shit like Thomas the Tank Engine dragons, but in no way is the game unplayable without them. I played Skyrim on the Xbox as a teen and it was a great time with no mods.

Then there's the little phenomenon of 'modding enthusiasts' spending far more time curating mods and adjusting their load order than they do ever being immersed in the game.

Skyrim was heavily focused and marketed for the console generation. But I did play Oblivion first on the PS3 because I don't think I had a computer I trusted could run it att he time and also I had gotten a PS3 pretty recently. Anyhow mods were certainly important still for Skyrim. Thomas the Tank engine dragons I mean c'mon why did Thomas the Tank engine ever become popular again? Plus ppl really loved their nudity mods but I guess that's nothing new. I guess what I am trying to say is that there were some amazing mods that were for Skyrim I never did try like Frostfall and combining that with realistic needs and diseases and random start beginning you could have a really cool survival styled game.

Stuff like that I feel like is worth mentioning more than Thomas the Tank engine :P There is also a voiced Randy Macho Man Savage audio mods for dragons too. Funny, but really. I am not going to actually install that.
