Jun 16, 2019 I finally become archmage & recieve new robes with the job. But why are the robes weaker then expert mage robes. This mod fixes that & makes the Archmages Robes worthy for a master of the mystic arts.-DESCRIPTION-This mod improves the enchantments of the Archmages Robes to be slightly better then master mage robes. Sep 03, 2020 Opulent Outfits - Mage Robes of Winterhold-2020 SSE The modern, updated and combined, Opulent Outfits-Mage Robes of Winterhold, Common Monk Robes v2.5 and Maids and Merchants Based on the original mod by babooncru.
Why would I make a list of just the best accessory, when I could give you a complete guide to all the best clothing mods that exist in Skyrim?
I’ve compiled the best outfit overhauls, ring additions, accessory modifications, and everything else I could find that would fit into the clothing category so you can completely change the way your character looks in the game.
I’ve taken the liberty to filter out some inappropriate mods from this list to keep it SFW(sorry to disappoint!)
I’ve also tried to avoid adding highly rated mods that simply added clothing items from other games, like Naruto’s Akatsuki robes, for example. If you notice anything from another game to have made it into my list, it’s because it fully deserves it.
Also I didn’t notice any of these mods clashing or being incompatible with one another, but keep in mind that I didn’t try them all at the same time – I did so in batches. They should still be compatible all at once, but bear this thought in mind anyway.
25. Wear Circlets with Hoods
This amazing mod allows you to wear circlets with hoods. Shocking, I know. However, it isn’t a simple as it seems.
This mod allows them to work together quite well indeed, as the creator of the mod definitely put some effort into creating it, and you won’t have any clipping issues when wearing them. It’s not just a mod that enables both things to work together, there were some visual changes involved in it.
There might still be some clipping issues with certain smaller hoods and bigger circlets, but in general you shouldn’t see any visual inconveniences while wearing both items.
Skyrim does have its visual clipping issues anyway, so it wouldn’t be too out of character if the circlets clipped through the hoods.
24. Dragonborn Mages Robes Retexture Pack
Are you not satisfied with the way the Dragonborn robes look? Maybe you somehow wish they would look… better?
Well, you’re a rather demanding person, aren’t you?
Thankfully someone had the exact same thought as you did. The Dragonborn Mages Robes Retexture Pack changes the way the four basic robes that were included in Dragonborn DLC look, making them look a bit more different and much better.
The mod is very easy to install, as mod other mods on this list. It’s just a visual change, but I dig it very much. Hopefully you will too!
23. Colovian Noble Clothes
Even though this mod was made for the Beyond Skyrim mod, the number of clothing items that it adds to Skyrim makes it one of the best clothing mods that I’ve come across.
The clothes are made with the same detail and degree of quality that you’ll find on the Beyond Skyrim mod itself, and it is made to suit the needs of even the most demanding dresser in the lands.
22. Bandanas of Skyrim
Man, this is an item that you probably didn’t know you wanted until you check this mod out.
It gives you the chance to craft bandanas in the game, and notice how I’m using the term in plural – not only are there different color variations of the item, but it also adds two types of bandanas: you can wear it tied and untied, which makes it a fashionable little item that you can use.
It’s a great clothing item to be worn by rogues and thieves. It would also suit an assassin as well, so you might want to give it a shot!
21. Diverse Priests
Skyrim priests are already quite dull on their own, why not spice things up a bit and at least change the way their robes are colored?
This mod might seem simple on its own, but it adds a necessary level of depth to the game by changing the colors of robes that priests wear, allowing them to actually look like different people and not as if they all praised the same Divine (or Daedric Prince).
20. JewelCraft
This mod might not have a direct influence on the clothing of Skyrim, but it adds the ability for you to craft almost every single piece of jewelry that exists in the game.
The mod aims to keep things as realistic as possible, so crafting the items will require you to gather the necessary metals.
It’s a super amazing mod, and one of the best jewelry additions of this list.
The creator of the mod is also very keen on updating the mod constantly, so you can expect various updates to be made to the JewelCraft mod as time goes by.
Let’s just hope they don’t get bored of updating it!
19. Archmage of Winterhold HD Retexture
Nope, this isn’t a new addition to the range of clothing that you have in Skyrim, nor will you be able to find this Archmage robe anywhere different from where you get them in base-game Skyrim.
You still need to complete the College of Winterhold questline if you wish to get your hands on the Archmage robes.
The mod does retexture the way the clothes of the Archmage look, and man, they look quite good once the mod is installed.
They change the basic clothes and add an HD look to them. I find the addition to be quite cool!
18. Linds’ Necromancer Robes Revamp
The level of detail that this Necromancer Robes have is just absolutely fantastic.
You will find them to be amazing to look in necromancers, as the name suggests, as they are dark with some gold finishes on it and they look absolutely fantastic.
They are much more detailed than the basic robes worn by Necromancers in vanilla Skyrim.
The Necromancer Robes made by Lind include a sweet skull on the design, which is also much more detailed than the regular robes worn by the Skyrim Necromancers throughout the forsaken lands of northern Tamriel.
17. Velvet Robes and Cloaks
You can guess what this mod adds to the game, I guess.
In case you don’t, it adds robes and cloaks made of velvet. There are different color variations that you can purchase and craft.
The mod has been constantly updated, and the models of the clothing items have been reworked multiple times to get them to where they are today.
I have to say that these items do look as if they were vanilla, so the work put into making them so is as uncanny as it gets.
I fully recommend it if you like to have items similar to the ones that come in the base game.
16. Skyrim Scarves and Mufflers
Scarves!
There’s no better way to combat the cold environments that surround the northern lands of Tamriel than wearing some cool and well-knit scarves and mufflers.
How did no one at the Bethesda studios think about adding these?!
Granted, they’re not probably the warrior’s fashion choice, but man, they do seem to fit quite nicely into the game.
The game adds a ton of different variations of the items to the game as well, with over 50 of these fantastic clothing pieces having been introduced into Skyrim. You can craft them at the tanning rack, as they count as regular hide crafting items.
15. Opulent Outfits – Mages and Merchants
Opulent Outfits changes the way barkeepers and merchants dress in the game. It’s part of the Opulent Outfits mod pack, who has grown to become one of the finest additions of clothes to the community.
It’s also the first of two Opulent Outfits that made it into my list, and credit where it’s due – the creator of the mod managed to make some very elaborated and nice pieces of clothing.
They come in various colors and work in all types of bodies across the region. What’s not to love about this mod?
It adds so much variety and quality that your game will up its fashion game above its regular standards.
14. Hoods and Circlets
The Hoods and Circlets mod works similarly to the Wear Circlets with Hoods mod that took the 25th spot here.
But there’s a reason why this one is higher rated than the other one.
The level of detail is much better, and it only enables certain hoods to be worn with certain circlets, which removes the entire clipping issue almost on its entirety.
The mod has been updated and it now has almost no bugs, and you can always leave feedback on the creator’s page if you find any issues with it. I haven’t found any, and I’ve always wanted to wear circlets with hoods, so it took the 14th spot on this list!
13. DovahBling Jewelry
If you think the name of this mod is a bit tacky, wait until you see the mod itself. It literally adds bling to the game, and not just jewelry – literal bling.
Do you know those types of rings and pendants that some people wear?
Well there are now Skyrim versions of them. It’s just what it sounds like – bling jewelry but with Skyrim designs!
The mod also has one reason to make it so far up on my list.
All of the rings are craftable and it also adds a ten-ring system to the game, which allows the Dragonborn to wear all of their precious new items at once. You might look like a ridiculous clown.
But if that’s how you like it, that’s how you get it!
12. Prince and the Pauper
Well, reading the description of this mod makes it sound extremely classist, so I’m pretty sure its addition is going to piss off a lot of people on the left side of the political spectrum.
I swear that’s not my intention! The Prince and the Pauper mod changes the way most kids in the game dress to make their clothes reflect their social status more accordingly.
The mod itself is a clothing overhaul for children, and it does make them dress far more appropriately.
I like it a lot. But I wouldn’t advise you to download it if you often go to those everyone should be equal rallies.
11. Mage Backpack
Why would a traveling mage not wear a backpack? Ask that to Bethesda, because the creator of this mod hit the nail straight in its head.
The Mage Backpack mod adds a completely lore-friendly backpack to the game, which contains items that a traveling mage would carry around on their back.
It also adds a cool quest that you’ll need to finish if you want to obtain it.
It’s not as easy as it seems, but it will be worth your effort and time at the end of the road!
10. Fur Hoods HD
Skyrim winters are cold, and most of the hoods that come with vanilla Skyrim do a crappy job at keeping your head warm.
Fur Hoods HD adds a new type of hood that is sure to withstand even the coldest of Skyrim winters, and you’ll love the way it was designed.
It looks really cool, and that’s my completely unbiased opinion.
9. Common Clothes Mod
Clothing overhauls, anyone? This mod adds new clothes to the game, and the number of clothes that it adds is absolutely ridiculous.
The mod contains over 100 new different clothes that you’ll be able to find across the lands of Skyrim or craft them at the tanning rack if you’re too desperate to get them.
With literally a hundred items to choose from, this is the mod you want to download if you’re tired of the vanilla outfits!
8. Sabre Gear Backpack
If you’re playing a hunter in Skyrim, then this mod is going to be one you love.
It fits the lore of the game perfectly as it only adds backpacks made using animal fur, but most importantly, it makes your character look like a fearless badass.
It matches the Sabre Cat Gear Mod outfits as well, as they were made by the same creators – check that one out for a cool-looking hunting outfit!
7. Opulent Outfits – Mage Robes of Winterhold
Alright, if you’ve ever had the feeling that Skyrim was lacking robes, just quit what you’re doing right now and download this mod.
Opulent Outfits adds a staggering 86 new clothing items to the game (all of which are robes for you to dress up on a daily basis or whenever you’re going to perform acts of necromancy).
Keep in mind that all of these items are made using high-quality textures, so they’ll look even better if you’re running graphic enhancement mods for Skyrim.
6. Face Masks of Skyrim
If you’re an assassin or a thief, this mod is going to suit you better than any other on this list.
Skyrim Se Mage Robes Mod 1.12.2
Wear a face mask whenever you’re about to perform an assassination or robbery regardless of the race that you’re using to play (the mod works for Argonians and Khajit as well).
I mean, wearing them doesn’t mean that you won’t be identified by the guards, but it still makes you look cooler.
5. Rustic Clothing
Looking to overhaul your game to give it a Nordic feel?
Then check this mod out. It changes every single piece of clothing in the game to give it better textures as well as a look that turns each item into a more rustic version of itself.
Not much else to add, but don’t let that fool you – it’s a massive overhaul!
4. Improved NPC Clothing
Are you tired of seeing NPCs walk around in the same clothes all the time?
Well, this mod won’t fix that.
However it will improve NPC clothing by making the textures of all common robes and clothes in the game far better, using HD images in this complete clothing revamp.
3. Bandolier – Bags and Pouches
Ah, a mod that serves as a QOL addition as well as a regular clothing mod!
These are the ones I love to see.
This mod will add a variety of items that you can equip to your character to make him look cooler, but at the same time increase the carrying capacity in a lore-friendly way. It doesn’t make sense for a traveler not to wear at least some pouches on top of their clothes – especially given how many items one leaves behind in the game!
2. Winter is Coming
I have to tell you, I combined Winter is Coming – Cloaks with the mod that makes it so your character is heavily affected by the cold.
And it was one of the most immersive experiences that I’ve ever had in the game.
Don’t let the title of this mod fool you, though – this mod doesn’t add Game of Thrones cloaks to the game; the cloaks simply look like items that the characters wear in the famous TV show with one of the worst finales in television history.
1. Cloaks of Skyrim
This mod is taking the first spot on my list because of how amazingly well done the cloaks are.
They just make your character look fantastic, and there are almost 100 items that you can try out.
Never again will you feel that there aren’t enough clothing options in the game! It doesn’t matter if you’re a mage, an assassin, a rogue, a bandit, a thief, or even a commoner looking to wear new robes…
There’s one that’ll perfectly suit you in the Cloaks of Skyrim mod, and you’re gonna like the way you look. I guarantee it.

Practicing magic in Skyrim is easily one of the main reasons why so many people love the game.
Embarking on a journey across the cold region of northern Tamriel can be fun when you’re slaying foes left and right with the power of your spells. Mastering the various schools of magic also gives you enough variety to keep you entertained for hours.
But now that Skyrim has been a thing for almost a decade, it’s only natural that people are looking to add more spells and learn new magical goodies to keep the game fun and fresh.
That’s where magic mods come in! Many of the spells included in these mods are as balanced as you get from the ones included in the base game, so balance won’t be a thing to worry about.
In any case, not every mod in this list is about adding new spells to the game. Some of these add amazing mechanics that greatly improve magic in general, so be sure to check out everything here and download anything that catches your eye.
20. Colorful Magic
Colorful magic gives a new taste to the way spell casting works in Skyrim.
Firstly it aims to add a plethora of new unique spells and enchantments, all of which can be freely used depending on your school of preference.
It also adds many enemies to the game, amongst which you’ll find some very colorful foes that give you a magic vibe like no other creatures in the game.
In general, even though this mod isn’t the most balanced on this list, it does give you over 350 unique spells to add to your large arsenal.
19. Face Light
Face Light makes this list because of its magical principles, but not mainly because of how effective or powerful it is.
It simply makes the lighting of your character’s face much more realistic upon activation, which makes this one of the best mods for people that need to take close-up pictures of their characters for one reason or another.
Face Light is a custom spell that you can choose to activate during any time in the game, as long as you have it equipped. And as long as you get this mod installed.
18. Enchanted Arsenal
Sure enough, you’ll come across various enchantment mods during your search for magic mods online.
However out of all those mods that change the way enchantments look, the Enchanted Arsenal mod is a fan-favorite. Mainly because of how easily customizable it is.
The mod gives you access to a variety of animations that you can add to any of your weapons, giving them a unique feel that the base game fails to provide.
It’s awesome and the best enchantment mod for those who want full customization of their weaponry.
Although there are some better mods on this list when it comes to the quality of visual effects added to the game, this one is worth looking into.
Skyrim Se Archmage Robes Mod
17. Spell Crafting for Skyrim
One of the features that you might be missing the most is spell crafting.
This mod adds the ability back into the game so you can create your own spells and abilities based on powers that the mod has included.
I mean really, you can create your own spells however you want them to look. That’s pretty boss.
16. Animated Enchantments Overhaul
If you want unique-looking weapons and enchanted weaponry to look like no other in the game, then this is the mod for you.
It will make your weapons look unique depending on the type of enchantment that they have, whilst also projecting a different vibe while wielding them that no other mod in the game is capable of achieving.
Easy but definitely a noticeable difference.
15. The Way of The Force
Are you a Star Wars fan?
Skyrim Mage Robes Mod Xbox One
I’m gonna guess yes and say you’ll absolutely love this mod.
With this you’ll be able to learn the ways of the Force thanks to a series of quests that get added to the game, and you’ll also be able to choose whether you want to be a Sith Lord or a Jedi Master with the powers that you’ll learn.
The mod adds countless new abilities to the game as well as many weapons fitting of a Force user.
14. Spellmaking in Skyrim – The Last Altar
Spellmaking in Skyrim makes it a little bit better to craft spells than the first mod that we reviewed on this list.
For starters, this makes it for players to go to an altar if they are to craft spells, which means you won’t be able to make spells wherever you go.
Although that’s a bit more inconvenient, it does make it fairer and more balanced. Sometimes mods try to do that!
In any case, this mod will allow you to combine abilities and spells to enhance your powers and come up with unique abilities that only you will be able to use. So there are plenty of upsides to try it out.
13. Elemental Destruction Magic
Have you ever wondered why there are so few natural abilities to attack with?
Wouldn’t it be better if you could summon rocks and other natural elements to cast powerful spells of the School of Destruction?
The answer is most definitely, yes.
With this mod, you’ll be incorporating countless of new powers and abilities to the game based on some elements that the School of Destruction should be able to control in the base game.
That means that this mod is fully lore-friendly and really fun to play with.
12. Skyrim Spells and Powers
Made by the same author of the Bend Time mod, this one incorporates a ton of new spells to be used by mighty mages that have already reached higher levels in Skyrim.
As you might know, one of the main problems of vanilla magic is that some abilities get extremely repetitive and boring when you reach the higher levels.
So this mod is specifically meant to combat that little issue. Pros will love it.
11. Bend Time
As its name suggests, this mod allows you to play with time and bend it at your will.
When you cast this spell you’ll be able to stop time(as the name kinda suggests).
This ability comes to be extremely useful in any type of combat situation as you’ll be able to freeze over your enemies and deal damage fast. And they only get hit once time resumes.
Furthermore, you aren’t affected by the time-bending itself. Which means that you can freely walk and shoot arrows and steal all while your enemies are frozen in time.
10. Bat Travel Power
This mod is ideal to be used by players who are working on a lore-friendly vampire character.
Mage Robes Skyrim
This is a special type of fast travel that is meant to be used by vampires, as it turns them into a cloud of bats and helps them traverse Skyrim much quicker without having to discover some locations first.
You can even set your own markers and decide where you want to go on the map!
9. Midas Magic Evolved
Summon new creatures, destroy foes with powerful beams of energy, and use new conjuration spells with the Midas Magic Evolved pack of over 250 new abilities.
You can even shoot magic arrows with the new powers that you’re given, but beware!
Some of them can be very strong if your mage is a highly leveled up being. Be sure to use the powers wisely and don’t let things get out of control.
8. No Enchantment Restrictions
This mod allows you to enchant and disenchant items that the base game wouldn’t naturally allow you to do.
Which is highly convenient as it unlocks many more features that you can work with when crafting new pieces of armor and magical weaponry.
This also removes restrictions regarding the type of armor or weapon that you’re enchanting.
With this mod you might create enchantments that would be exclusive to armor that matches your build. It’s highly convenient, although some might consider it a bit overpowered.
7. Lost Grimoire of Skyrim
Lost Grimoire of Skyrim is carefully created to allow players to add a plethora of new spells to the game, all of which you can use in a balanced environment without having to worry about the spells being broken or too overpowered.
In fact, this mod is one of the best at keeping things balanced and in check when adding new stuff to the game.
If you want to add a bunch of new mechanics to your magical repertoire and not having to worry about discarding the ones that are overpowered then this mod is exactly what you’re after.
6. Phenderix Magic Evolved
One of the largest additions of spells to the game, Phenderix Magic Evolved is a gigantic project that adds a lot of variety to the spells that come with base game Skyrim and introduces many new features.
One of the coolest features is spell combos that you can create with the many magical spells combined together.
You’ll be able to come across new spells by approaching magic vendor throughout Skyrim, and the best thing about this mod is that it also makes them appear as random loot too.
Skyrim Se Mage Clothes Mod
This means that you’ll be able to encounter new, powerful spells as you traverse the realm and slay foes with your magical prowess. Just play the game as normal and be pleasantly surprised along the way.
5. Forgotten Magic
Forgotten Magic isn’t made to introduce a lot of spells into the game as most other magic mods do.
In fact, it does the exact opposite.
The main purpose of Forgotten Magic is to provide the player with a small roster of new spells to cast, all of which feel like they belong in the game and complement each other surprisingly well.
4. Wintermyst – Enchantments of Skyrim
Sure, base game Skyrim does have its fair share of enchantments to make your weapons and armor as powerful as can be.
Wizard Robes
But how cool would it be for you to enchant your armor with Overbearing spells?
How about arrows that do piercing frost damage?
All of this can be done with the Wintermyst set of enchantments which add over 120 different enchantments to the game. Neat!
3. Flying Mod
Riding a dragon is cool and all, but you know what’s even cooler?
Blasting past dragons by flying like a demigod across the lands of Skyrim!
The Flying Mod, although it remains in beta, is currently the best option that you have to traverse the skies of Tamriel with the sheer power of magic – no mount required!
The mod provides you with a powerful spell that lets you lift off from the ground with ease.
And it has a ton of different animations included to make you feel more immersed in your newfound abilities.
2. Deadly Spell Impacts
One of the major flaws of Skyrim (which might limit your immersion level) is that all spells leave the same mark when you cast them toward something.
Deadly Spell Impacts changes the damage done to structures and items when a spell hits them, making it more accurate to the type of spell that was cast.
As such, frozen spells will leave an icy mark on the surface that they land. And fire spells will make it even more clear that a blaze of flame has passed through the targeted point.
Maybe not a required addition but certainly adds more realism to this already incredible game.
1. Apocalypse – Magic of Skyrim
I really don’t want to spoil the magnificence that is the Apocalypse magic mod. So I say download it and try it for yourself first.
But it adds over 100 spells, all of which are carefully crafted and balanced, and they include amazing textures that you won’t find anywhere else in the game.
The creators of the mod have also made sure to make it compatible with other spell mods on this list so feel free to install it with other mods if you like!
