As you can guess from its name, this mod is as simple as it gets. This realism mod allows you to see in first person the view of your character. So you can look down to see your own self, the edges of your helmet and all the details that are visible from a first-person view. Allowing you to see through your character’s eyes, this mod makes things unbelievably realistic in the game.

This Skyrim Immersive First-Person View mod is available for both Oldrim and Skyrim Special Edition.

2. iNeed – Food, Water, And Sleep Mod

If you are looking for hardcore survival games with a real-life difficulty, iNeed is a must-have mod for you! This mod addresses the basic needs of your character that include food, water and sleep. 

Your character will need to eat and drink 2-3 times a day, just like you do in real life (although, in real life, we suggest drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day!). You can acquire this food by stealing wheels of cheese or sweet rolls lying around at various places. Moreover, your character will need a full night’s sleep to function properly. Follow a regular schedule to truly immerse into the mod and make things more realistic.

Immersive Citizens is an overhaul mod for NPCs that improves their Artificial Intelligence (AI) to make your interactions with them more realistic and their behavior more human-like, rather than robotic. 

The mod has specifically focused on combat AI by adding a new Survival Instinct feature for citizens so they can perceive danger and respond to it realistically. Immersive Citizens also expands the non-combat behavior of citizens by improving their interaction with the environment like the weather, sceneries, their professions and their relationships.

Do you ever feel like the movements of the player, NPCs and animals in Skyrim are too robotic? If yes, then this is the perfect mod for you! The Immersive Movement mod overhauls the movements of player, NPCs, animals and creatures to make them seem more real and believable, making the game more immersive. 

For instance, the pacing of your player is balanced so they will approach different situations realistically according to their pace. So walking means actual slow walks and running means fast (but believable) running. The entire movement system has been overhauled which means your combat would also be affected based on how heavy your weapon is.
