Horror mods that DON'T add ghosts?


Recommended Posts

I've long thought about doing a horror/halloween playthrough. However, the only horror mod I've ever played is It Beats for Her. I had a really hard time forcing myself to play through that honestly, mainly because of the creepy-ass house filled with satanic references.

Now, to be clear, I read Lovecraft, and like to watch youtubers playing horror games. My favorite game to watch being Poppy Playtime.

Problem is though, I suffer from legit phasmophobia. I fear ghosts more than I do death itself. I can't even stand to watch someone play the beginning of Clockwork to give you an idea. The rest after that looks like a complete joke to me, even though everyone else seems to think its even scarier.

Given this, I need to be really careful about what horror mods I do try to play through.

And before anyone asks, no I don't mind the ghosts in Skyrim. They don't behave anything like ghosts. They're functionally just bandits with a unique shader and voice. The ghost in that lighthouse in Falskaar on the other hand did bother me greatly. As soon as that woman disappeared (at first I tried to talk to her thinking she was a normal npc), I ran like hell and never set foot near that structure again. I also couldn't stand to watch that segment in Vampire the Masquerades Bloodlines where the player explored a haunted house IN WHICH GHOSTS ACTUALLY APPEAR TO YOU. Simply listening to that section honestly horrified me.

So no, I don't mind vanilla ghosts. f*#@ ghosts though that appear out of nowhere, possess things, stalk you, are completely invulnerable, pretty much any trope you see in actual ghost stories.

So then, what horror mods can I safely playthrough? Seemingly all of them involve a 'haunted' location of some sort. I did find some mansion mod once that interested me, but after seeing the intro on youtube, I definitely can't play that one. I have been fine with Skyrim Underground, though I never explored it much because I entered it when I was too low of level.

Honestly, I would prefer more of a sorta-scary halloween vibe. I know the halloween overhaul contains a quest or two, but is there anything outside of that? What about The Yellow King? Or The Fifth Gate? Darkend? W/e else is out there? It seems the only one anyone mentions anymore is Clockwork which as stated is definitely 100% off the list.
