In a new blog post, the company has declared that all mods must now be ‘non-commercial and distributed free-of-charge,’ even if they’re available on paid platforms like Patreon. PC users have always been able to make use of mods to the game, which technically should let them play with superior graphics right now, though the difference here is that these enhancements have been made officially by the people at Bethesda and will likely have been designed to run more smoothly than the average independent modder can manage.EA has made major tweaks to its Sims 4 modding guidelines, adding in new rules to restrict the sales of paid mods. That said, fans appear very excited about jumping back into the world of Skyrim this October, complete with all of the game's DLC and upgraded graphics.

The announcement of the new Skyrim remaster wasn't exactly a surprise, with rumors having been floating around the Internet for a week at this point. So far it is unclear as to whether there will be any new content or features coming with the Skyrim: Special Edition, other than the obvious graphical improvements, but even without any other changes, the new version of the game still looks impressive enough to warrant a second purchase from even the most casual of fans. The game will also offer modding on console, with the trailer showing the interface looking very similar to Fallout 4's newly-implemented mod support. Skyrim: Special Edition is a remaster of the 2011 addition to The Elder Scrolls main series, coming with numerous graphical enhancements such as remastered art and effects, volumetric god rays, and adding dynamic depth of field made to the base game's already impressive visuals. It has not been announced so far as to whether the company will be offering a similar deal to console owners, though there is still time before the October 28 release date.
