Skyrim mods add so much to the already expansive, immersive world of the game, but, unfortunately, despite having kept the community thriving for years on PC, mods aren’t all that accessible on other platforms. Luckily, the Switch Skyrim Creation Club is now available through the Anniversary Edition of the game, allowing you to access or purchase some great add-on content to keep your days as the Dragonborn interesting.
If you want to get cosy in this epic world, check out our Skyrim houses or Skyrim marriage guide. We’ve also a list of the best Skyrim maps, along with a Skyrim enchanting guide to help you get some magic mojo on your gear.

What is the Skyrim Creation Club?
Skyrim Creation Club is an in-game store with a microtransactional virtual currency called Creation Club Credits, which you can use to purchase unique add-ons for your game. As the official alternate to modding, each creation on offer is classed as official Bethesda content, developed with third-party developers and contracted mod authors.
Naturally, you don’t get quite as many wild and wacky options as you would using a site like Nexus mods on PC (so no flying Thomas the Tank Engine dragons, sorry), but it’s easy to access, and a good option for further expanding your grand adventure.
How do I get the Skyrim Creation Club on Switch?
You can access the Skyrim Creation Club by purchasing or upgrading your base game to the Anniversary Edition. Upgrading to this version also grants you free access to four free creations – fishing, rare curios, survival mode, and saints & seducers – in addition to several other discounted creations and even some that you can snag for free on a permanent or temporary basis, such as the highly desirable Dwarven Armored Mudcrab.

What type of items can I get through the Skyrim Creation Club on Switch?
The Skyrim Creation Club on Switch offers a wide range of content, from quality-of-life changes, to new challenges, homesteads, weapons, and even fresh dungeons to explore.
