Bethesda tweeted a tidbit today to make our Skyrim-playing console brethren even further jealous: a Thu'um-worthy 13.6 million PC mods have been downloaded to date, through Steam Workshop alone. That's almost as many dragon bones as I have gathering dust in the front cabinet at Breezehome!
In recognition of this colossal milestone, here are some of the most subscribed mods from the last month in Steam Workshop. Also, remember to bookmark our ever-updating list of the 25 best Skyrim mods !
1. Dragon Bone Weapons Complete
lets you craft blunt and pointy objects of all shapes and sizes with them
2. Sabre Cat Companion
3. Dovahkiin Relaxes Too
engage in many of the idle animations previously restricted to NPCs
4. Pure Waters
make all of Skyrim's lakes, streams, and coastlines look nicer
5. Plant Trees

6. Helmetless Warrior
