Sometimes, simple is good. The Self Hug Spell Mod from Nexus Mods user The Seagull (uploaded by DevicsPrey) is bringing a little wholesomeness to the world of Tamriel.

Some of these fan creations are complete retellings and new adventures, while others - like this Skyrim mod - are more about the simple things in life. Skyrim is easily one of the most heavily modded games out there, more so since Bethesda started supplying console mod support.
