Welcome to /r/SkyrimMods! We are Reddit's primary hub for all things modding, from troubleshooting for beginners to creation of mods by experts. We ask that you please take a minute to read through the rules and check out the resources provided before creating a post, especially if you are new here. :)
What its rules say about promotion
No Piracy
Digital piracy will not be tolerated in any shape or form. - Posting links to pirated material, encouraging piracy or asking for assistance with pirated content will result in a ban. - This includes sharing/rehosting a mod without the original author’s express permission, as well as linking mods that contain assets illegally ripped from other games/media. - Paywalled mods may be discussed but not promoted. Official Bethesda Creations are exempt from this.
Tag NSFW Content
All NSFW content must be accompanied with an NSFW tag. - The same goes for posts that reference, advertise or promote NSFW content. - NSFW content unrelated to Skyrim does not belong here and will be deleted. - Content that breaches Reddit guidelines, or is deemed too offensive, will be removed at the moderation team's discretion.
No Unrelated Posts or Content
- All posts and comments must be related to Skyrim modding and on topic. Modding news is welcome. - Unrelated material, such as discussions about real-world events, politics, etc. will be removed. - Random Skyrim screenshots, videos and meme posts will be removed. Check the “Related Subreddits” tab for alternatives. - Screenshots or videos in the context of asking for help or promoting specific mods are acceptable.
What its rules say about AI and bots
AI Policies & Guidelines
We do not allow or encourage the use of an AI in the troubleshooting process. AI, while it may seem helpful at first, often hallucinates advice and hurts more than it helps. Posts or comments suggesting the use of AI for the modding process will be removed. Posts written by generative AI will be removed. Beyond the fact that these posts can present misinformation to the reader unintentionally, they are also not an acceptable substitute for thorough, hands-on advice, support, and troubleshooting.

Reviews of paid content are allowed provided they follow all listed guidelines.
What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
Let your AI read the rules before it posts.
ThreadFox reads a community's current rules, writes a post that fits them, posts once with Reddit's Brand affiliate tag and checks it stayed up. The free ThreadFox Lite reads rules too.
