Skyrim Mod Adds Elden Ring-Style Messages For Other Players

Skyrim is a largely solo experience, which is how most Skyrim players probably like it, but what if there was a way to add just a hint of the social experience one gets from other game franchises. Like, say, perhaps, the Dark Souls series and its message system. Then you’d get the Building Bridges mod, recently uploaded by creator TommInfinite.

All you have to do is install the mod, connect to the Nexus Mods network, and then start writing. Building Bridges is compatible with both Skyrim Special Edition and Anniversary Edition and is compatible with most other Skyrim mods.

Once you’ve entered the key, load up any save file to get your Building Bridges key. Then restart the game. After all that, you’re ready to start posting using the default “b” key.

The rules for Building Bridges are largely similar to Elden Ring, but with a few enhancements. First, you’re not just limited to a pre-set list of words--you can type any message you’d like, provided that message follows the moderation rules. Yes, there’s a reporting system, and yes, moderators can both remove offensive messages and also boot mod users from the network for repeated offenses.

Messages can be rated, and unlike in Elden Ring, high
