What Is Wildlander?
Wildlander is a total conversion modpack for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition that aims to bring the frozen north into your home. Whether you want to call it immersion, realism, roleplaying, or simple masochism, the endgoal is to make you actually feel like an intrepid adventurer climbing snow-covered mountains, delving into ancient ruins, and getting your bits bitten off by packs of hungry wolves.
Wildlander is made up of hundreds of publicly available mods made by almost as many talented mod authors. These mods have been carefully selected, tested, and tweaked by Dylan to iron out any technical difficulties and maintain a consistent experience.
Wildlander is also a mod in its own right, as it includes proprietary features not available in the original mods.
The whole experience is built around Requiem - the Roleplaying Overhaul - 4.0.2. Requiem completely retools all of Skyrim to create a challenging, deleveled world with plenty of meaningful choices. Requiem can be overwhelming at first, so I highly recommend reading up on it. Start with Surviving the first few hours in Requiem, and if you want the nitty-gritty details, check out the Requiem Community Wiki and read the pdf manual included in the Requiem download. The manual is for an older version, but the only major differences are a few perk trees and the armor penetration mechanics.
In general, any Requiem resources you find will be applicable to Wildlander. Some information may be outdated, some may be overwritten by other mods in Wildlander, and some may have been disabled entirely, but the core principles are the same.
