Horror Mods

[terrarizing]

I have played vanilla Skyrim for quite a long time now and after playing the likes of Silent Hill and the original Resident Evil games I can honestly say that I have a horror fixation. So my question is simply if there are mods that make Skyrim have some elements of horror games? I'd be good with anything from ambient music to gothic weapons or architecture. Also any kind of mod for variants of the undead would be really cool. I seem remember something like that in Oblivion, but I don't know if they have one in Skyrim. Also if any mods cause a big FPS hit on lower end systems say so. Thank you for any suggestion and I'm open to just about anything.

Lightless abandon dungeons http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/9859/? will completely change dungeon crawling. You often can't see enemies until they're right in your face

I personally do my best to make skyrim into a horror survival game

 

First, turn your difficulty up as high as you can stand. Horror and Easy do not play nice.

 

A lighting mod to make things darker and give things a creepy atmosphere is great, but takes a lot of tweaking, and can be hard to get right, manymanymany exist, and most mess something up.

I personally suggest Seasons of Skyrim ENB http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/23812/? - use the performance option if you have a low end PC

with this mod for dark dungeons http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/12454/?

with this mod for dark nights http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/49472/?

This mod makes NPCs behave right in the dark http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/52239/?

 

now, I suggest adding in Skyrim Immersive Creatures, this adds in TONS of new, powerful, and often very scary enemies. And yes, TONS of undead are included. This mod also makes skeleton have a chance to come back to life after dying.

This mod adds in some very creepy zombies

This mod makes skeletons sound creepy as HECK and is also a nostalgia kicker if you played Daggerfall

I've never tried this mod, but it seems like it would make the game a lot harder and scarier.

Frostfall will make skyrim itself an enemy, and will make cold, dark nights in the mountains terrifying on their own, without the need for enemies

Psyrim makes the music of skyrim a lot more eerie and creepy, but if you are a lore nut it may be something you want to avoid.

This mod will make ghosts immune to most "normal" weapon types like in every other TES game before Skyrim

This mod will make the ambient sound of dungeons a lot more creepy!

I'll add more if I think of them! ^-^

Thank you both very much I will definitely look into those mods. The Ultimate Deadly Encounters mod has me especially intrigued and I will make sure to try it out. Also after a little digging I found a mod called Automatic Variants that seems like it could be good too. Does anyone have any input as to whether or not to use Skyrim Immersive Creatures or Automatic Variants and its packages?

 

Also I think that currently my goal is to make dungeons extremely dangerous but with a high reword for completing them (good loot at the end). So if there are any good loot mods let me know.
