#6 Diverse Skyrim

The Diverse Skyrim mod is a Civil War mod that adds more than 300 new NPCs to the Vanilla leveled lists featuring unique appearances. You can enjoy a great deal of racial diversity and variety while sticking to the lore and going on a mission.

All the stats, items, levels, spawning, abilities, etc. are based on the Vanilla mechanisms to ensure that the mod is compatible with other mods such as those that tweak the combat stats or add clothing, armor, weapons, and more.

So if you are tired of attacking and slashing the same enemies over and over them, you will get to enjoy some variety. For instance, not every Vampire would be an Elf or a Nord. The mod adds such things in the Vanilla game that were missing for quite a long time. However, it does not change the lore of the game.

Moreover, the mod creator has kept every race balanced. For instance, for every Orc or Argonian Hunter, there are also Nords and Wood Elf NPCs. So the racial distribution of these NPCs is balanced.

#5 Civil War Aftermath

As you can guess from its name, Civil War Aftermath is a Skyrim Civil War mod that lets you take the fight over to the enemy military camps all over Skyrim. Did you ever notice that you could not kill the enemy commander after entering their encampments and killing everyone even after you had won the war? That was pretty annoying. It just didn’t make sense.

This mod changes that by letting you burn all the enemy encampments and kill the commander as well. Moreover, you will also get money delivered to you by courier from your general whenever you destroy a camp.

What’s more, any General can now use the camp as their power symbol in some locations. So get your hands on this mod now to kill the enemy commander along with the rest of the enemies. Burn them all to the ground!

#4 Exclusive Civil War Troops

The Exclusive Civil War Troops is one of the best Skyrim mods that adds variety to the troops to make them better suited for Open Civil War. The mod basically tries to make the troops of both sides more challenging to defeat. Originally, these troops are supposed to be army factions, which means that they should be very hard to defeat.

However, this is not the case in vanilla Skyrim. You would notice that the army troops in Skyrim are worse than bandits, which does not make any sense. So this mod aims to change that by making the Imperial Legion more organized and smart and the Stormcloak Rebellion more formidable and mighty.

So you should expect the battles to be more fierce, challenging, and deadly, just how they should be. These stronger troops will be only in Capital battles, Fort battles, and City battles. So the original Skyrim Civil War leveled list is not messed with. Get it now to transform your battles into real ones!

Can I stay neutral in Skyrim civil war?

You can stay neutral in Skyrim by not joining the quest line. However, if you don’t make the decision, one of the sides (Imperials or Stormcloaks) will rule the Skyrim world and when that happens, you will regret not choosing your favorite side and see the world in a very chaotic situation.

Can I switch sides in the civil war Skyrim?

If you change your mind and don’t want to side with Imperials, there is a way to switch to Stormcloak. First, just make sure you do not complete or turn in the Jagged Crow quest yet. Instead, go to Windhelm and enter the Palace of the Kings to turn in the crown here. And now you’re siding with Stormcloaks.

Can you play both sides of the civil war in Skyrim?

You can’t play both sides of the civil war in Skyrim. That’s why you must consider carefully before turning in the crow in the Jagged Crown quest since it’s your last chance.
