Three years ago, a small passionate team of modders released a Skyrim multiplayer mod dubbed “Skyrim Together” that allowed players to play Skyrim with cooperative play. It received plenty of attention, and for the most part was a success. However, it was soon shortly discovered that the team had knowingly used stolen code from another modder, thus prompting an apology and a promise that they would be back with a completely free, and open-source version of the mod. Well, that day has finally come, as the team has released the overhaul version of the mod, Skyrim Together Reborn.
Downloadable via NexusMod, the Skyrim multiplayer mod, Skyrim Together Reborn, features 2-8 player co-op with the full campaign playable.
Skyrim Together Reborn is a passion project, created through the work of a small team of volunteers. The aim of the mod is to develop a true Skyrim multiplayer experience that brings online multiplayer into this otherwise strictly single player game. Our focus is to create a co-op like experience for about 2-8 players, not an MMO but we have tested with 30+ players. We only support the latest patches of Special Edition and Anniversary Edition, that is any version 1.6.x.
They go on to warn that while the mod is playable, it is without its faults, as this is after all created from a small team of fans. That means you should expect to see bugs, including crashes, so play at your own risk.
We are not a game development studio. We do not have any resources, our team mostly consists of students, we do all of this in our free time, and we do not take any donations. All things considered, you should manage your expectations before jumping into one of our mods. Our mods are not perfect. They will occasionally crash, some quests will break, there will be bugs. This is not fixable. This is just the reality of making a multiplayer mod instead of having a massive studio like Bethesda make a multiplayer game. Still, it is playable and it is a lot of fun.

This is all pretty awesome, and definitely makes the journey into Skyrim well worth taking again. Might be worth a shot, though if you are more of a Fallout fan there is some good news as the team is also developing a Fallout multiplayer mod called Fallout Together. Hopefully we hear more on that real soon now that the Skyrim multiplayer mod is released.
