| 0 A.D. | Hyrule Conquest | Mod for the free open-source RTS game 0 A.D. that completely rehauls the game to be set in the Zelda universe. Comes with lots of new factions, cinematics and even a full story campaign.
Of note for the Necrobase is the Stalfos faction that were added on Halloween 2021, an undead legion with a large variety of diverse units all from different Zelda games. Has several faction heroes based on important characters associated with the Undead, a corpse collection and revival system to make new units and operate uniquely compared to other factions by only being able to occupy and unearth ruins on the map rather than being able to make buildings themselves.
Game is really detailed, is an absolute must play for those interested in the Zelda universe and the undead are really unique and well designed. | https://www.moddb.com/mods/hyrule-conquest |
| Battle Brothers | Legends Mod Beta | Battle Brothers is already an amazing game the Legends mod is basically the expansion the game never had. Tons of new origins, enemies, weapons you name it. My favorite so far is of course the Warlock, simple but very fun Necromancy gameplay. It's in beta but already rich in content, the upcoming features is very promising. | https://www.nexusmods.com/battlebrothers/mods/60 |
| Caves of Qud | Cheb's Necromancy Mutation | Adds a new mental mutation that allows you to reanimate corpses. | https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2990597917 |
| Civilization 4 | Fall from Heaven 2 | Copied from a YT comment: "Speaking of Master of Magic inspired stuff, Fall from Heaven 2 is a total conversion mod for Civ 4 that's really, really good. Its true necromancy is so-so since only 1 type out of the 3 conjurable undead is permanent, though they do trade duration for lethality if you have lots of death mana stockpiled. There's many other summons that are all very strong and it has a plethora of interesting and unique mechanics that its worth getting into if you've already played that game before. The lead designer/dev got hired by Stardock and has been in the company for years and years, but the mod is really his best work. Other people are still creating and updating submods for it to this day." | https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/mod-fall-from-heaven-ii.171398/ |

| Conan Exiles | Better Thralls | This wonderful mod for Conan Exiles allows you to raise the follower limit from the default of 1 to a maximum of 10. It also lets you pickup thralls and place them again. It's an essential mod to have fun in Conan Exiles, in my opinion. | https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=931088249 |
| Conan Exiles | Magical Thralls | Ars Gothica's Magical Thralls mod (AKA: AGmods 02 Magical Thralls) for Conan Exiles is the best necromancy mod for Conan Exiles at the time of me writing this (29/03/2019) and it will likely remain so. Its changed a bit since my last video on it, but the changes have been for the better. It's now possible to create skeletons, armored skeletons, skeleton lizard men, zombie hyenas, zombie kappas, human zombies, rancid human zombies and a zombie imp king. More is possible than just this and I encourage you to check the mod's steam page or visit the mod author's website: https://arsgothica.com/ | https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1638011499 |

| Cortex Command | The Academy of Arcane Arts V 1.2.0 | Paraphrased from Vhor'zoq (Discord user): "Necromancy here works more like summoning. The undead summoned aren't time limited and they all start with basic weaponry such as a blunderbus or a pistol. But then you regenerate mana and summon more, and more, and more, and yeah, pretty much you can make an army. Also a spell that allows to reanimate the troop that cast it." | https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=458122658 |
| Crusader Kings 2 | Satanism Plus | This mod has some necromancy, but I've yet to try it. | https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=918939555 |
| Crusader Kings 3 | A Touch of Power | Adds the ability to summon units through magic, either through the Diabolist (Evil themed units) or Theurgist classes (Angelic themed units). Also lets you do lich-like things as a Diabolist, such as living forever as long as you sacrifice the souls of enough people to maintain high enough demonic favour. | https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2289623410 |
| Crusader Kings 3 | Ancient Magic | User Suggestion 1: It adds magic to Crusader Kings III, which includes a necromancy school of magic. It requires two accessory mods, by the same author. They're easy enough to find, since they're the only other two mods the author has.
You can raise armies of the undead, spread plagues, and become a lich yourself with the necromancy school. It looks like its still a work in progress, but its fun so far! I have an undead army twice the size of my living army shambling about so far.
User Suggestion 2: You need to download the two other mods listed on the page- Absylims Mana System and Scrollable Lifestyle Window- in order to make this mod function. It works on the current last build (1.2.2) regardless of what the launcher says.
There are several disciplines of magic added by this mod, but I'm going to focus on two. Necromancy and Biomancy. Necromancy gives you several ways of spreading death- mainly in spread plague (gives target the bubonic plague) combined with drain life (drains health from the target and adds to your health), and death stare. You can become a lich, and grant lichdom on npcs. Additionally, you can raise fodder units that won't replenish but will stick around until your death every 2 years.
The fodder units, in my experience, were too much hassle to make the most of. What I really enjoyed were making lich champions (think commanders in CK2, and they're similar) and using several biomancy spells to make them genius (increased martial, makes them better commanders) and have herculean strength (increases prowess). Four of these death knights could change the tide of the battle.
All in all, if you're here for large necromancy armies- this mod doesn't provide much more than the base game without keeping track of your raise dead cooldown. But, the death knight potential is more than worth it - and you can always roleplay as you're making an undead empire. | https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2224273167&searchtext= |
| Crusader Kings 3 | Arcane Kings | A mod that's basically Godherja's magic system, but edited in a way to make it more generally applicable. If you're determined enough, you can master the disciplines of dark magic, (necromancy, enchantment, and blood magic) and combine them all into the ultimate spell: lichdom. There are around 19 spells in the entire mod, but they're useful enough that the low amount doesn't really matter. | https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2580791712 |
| Crusader Kings 3 | Godherja: The Dying World | A fantasy total conversion of CK3 into a world where God is dead, (we killed them) and the world is constantly on the brink of ending. The mod is in heavy development, but the spellcasting system and necromancy are already fairly fleshed out so that you can already commit your favorite unspeakable acts. In future updates there will be more spells, actual rituals to accompany each spell, the ability to uncover and enact the ritual to become a lich, and even the ability to carve out your own domain in the northern lands called the Lichdoms. | https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2326030123 |
| Daggerfall Unity | Belwen and Brallion the Vampire Companions | Adds some NPC vampire followers. | https://www.nexusmods.com/daggerfallunity/mods/116 |
| Daggerfall Unity | Cheb's Necromancy | A mod for Daggerfall Unity that adds Necromancy to the game as spells under the Mysticism school. It also adds an optional Necromancer class which starts with the Animate Dead spell.
The undead are clones of vanilla enemies but are allied to the player. They also have code attached to them which makes them follow the player, but the pathfinding isn't great. It's based off how the enemies pursue the player and works basically the same way. | https://www.nexusmods.com/daggerfallunity/mods/714 |
| Daggerfall Unity | Pet Animal Companions | Adds animal companions: Rat, Spider, Cat, Scorpion, Bear, Bat and Werewolf Cub. More pets on the way, apparently.
Not much to write home about when looking for a minion playstyle, but it's a great start for a game that had no minion potential. | https://www.nexusmods.com/daggerfallunity/mods/117 |
| Daggerfall Unity | The Conjurer's Artifacts | The mod adds artifacts that can summon creatures:
Wand of Summon Vermin: It summons either 5 rats, 5 bats, or 3 imps.
Bracelet of Summon Wild Beast: It summons either a bear, a tiger, a giant spider or a giant scorpion.
Amulet of Summon Undead: It summons either a ghost, a skeleton, a wraith, or a zombie
Ring of Summon Atronach: It summons either a fire atronach, ice atronach, flesh atronach or iron atronach
Emerald of Summon Monster: It summons either a centaur, a giant, a nymph, a spriggan, a harpy, a dragonling or a gargoyle
Ruby of Summon Daedra: It summons either a fire daedra, a frost daedra, a daedroth or a daedra lord
Not much to write home about when looking for a minion playstyle, but it's a great start for a game that had no minion potential. The specifics can be modified in the text file which makes it possible to have minions for longer or tweak it to remove randomization, etc. | https://www.nexusmods.com/daggerfallunity/mods/179?tab=description |
| Daggerfall Unity | Jay_H's Battle Creatures | Small mod allows summoning of minions via gems:
Imp gem, 1000 gold: allows you to summon three imps 3 times.
Gargoyle gem, 3500 gold: allows you to summon two gargoyles 3 times.
Daedra gem, 10,000 gold: allows you to summon two Frost Daedra 3 times.
The creatures do not follow you but instead stay in place. Not much to write home about when looking for decent minionmancy, but it is a great start/foundation for a game that had NO MINIONS AT ALL prior to mods like this. | https://www.nexusmods.com/daggerfallunity/mods/196 |
| Dark Souls 3 | Cinders | Elden Ring's Spirit Ashes mechanic but without restrictions, summoned minion changes depending on what zone you are in and can be buffed/healed through item usage or buffed passively by equipping certain items.

| Diablo | Beelzebub | Info from user suggestion: If you are a diablo fan, you could check the Belzebub mod for D1. I loved most things about Belzebub mod EXCEPT cooldowns (something that isn't on base D1) and IMO cooldowns are only a way to slow down the game and removed immersion.

| Diablo | The Hell 2 | A wonderful mod for Diablo 1 that adds multiple summoning classes: Necromancer, Demonologist, and Beastmaster. Necromancer can summon Skeleton Archers, Skeleton Warriors, and a Bone Demon. Demonologist has the Familiar, Goatman Archer, and Satyr Lord. Beastmaster has Stingers, Hell Boars, and the Viper. You can get a decent swarm of minions going and they're all permanent. | https://www.patreon.com/thmod |
| Diablo 2 | Median XL | Median XL is a nice mod for Diablo 2 that completely changes everything - including the necromancy.

| Fallout 4 | Sim Settlements Faction Pack- Feral Ghouls | This one is a bit of a stretch, this mod is an addon for the Sim Settlements Conqueror mod that gives you a feral ghouls faction to command. While not really necromancy in the traditional sense, it comes the closest you can get to a zombie army in Fallout 4 with different ranks of ghoul soldiers and custom plots for them to work and live at. Still a work in progress at this point but if continued it would offer some interesting roleplay options for wannabe necromancers in Fallout 4. | https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/44845 |

| Minecraft | Witchery mod | Info from user suggestion: A fantastic mod for anyone who plays Minecraft. Witchery adds a great variety of things, mostly witch and warlock focused. With a comfortable area for necromancers. This mod allows you to perform a variety of rituals, become a vampire or werewolf, bind spectral undead and use them as guards for your lair. And allows you to transport to the dream world, where you can harvest spirits, and even manifest as a ghost in the overworld.
I will always have a soft spot for this mod, mainly because it is very well done. And gives you the feeling of a true Witch, Warlock, or most importantly... Necromancer
| https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/witchery |
| Minecraft | Overlord | This mod allows you to build different kinds of skeleton minions in Minecraft. The minions aren't very strong and are also quite expensive. To make a baby skeleton you need milk and bones and a metal bucket, all of which are consumed to create a baby skeleton. To make fully sized skeletons it is more expensive. The skeletons can be given equipment and given basic commands like guard, follow, etc.
My main contention with the mod is I had issues where skeletons would randomly disappear. I do not know why, bugs I guess. The skeletons are also not worth their price considering how weak they are. It may be worth it if you have a mod installed that gives you bones with every kill. But in vanilla bones are kind of rare. | https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/overlord |
| Minecraft | Witchery Mod for Minecraft | This mod brings interesting features into Minecraft of an occult nature. It also has a very nice wiki which explains most things you can do. It's not the most necromancy heavy mod out there, but it offers interesting things and may be a good supplement to a heavier necromancy mod.
For minions it has the banshee, which screams to deal damage, and a shrieking fetish which is like an alarm system. It also provides a brew capable of enslaving undead to your control.

| Minecraft | Wizardry | This mod adds schools of magic, among which is necromancy. I cannot say much about the mod cuz I haven't tried it. But it may be worth investigating. From the mod's description page:
Necromancy is the element of darkness, chaos and the undead. Necromancers are mysterious and often regarded as evil, though this is usually not the case. Necromancy spells are commonly used to summon creatures to fight for you or even bend the will of your enemies.
~ The Wizard's Handbook
A mysterious and often mistrusted form of magic, necromancy is dominated by summoning spells, giving necromancers the ability to summon various undead mobs as well as more powerful elemental beings. Necromancy may also be used to influence creature's minds, inflict withering effects and manipulate life forces. Necromancers seek to control, preferring to stand at a distance while their minions exact their will upon the world. Fighting against a necromancer means having to fend off hordes of undead mobs whilst dealing with the effects inflicted by the necromancer themselves. | https://github.com/Electroblob77/Wizardry/wiki/Elements |
| Minecraft | Class Armor : Necromancer and Paladin | This mod adds a necromancer armor set, complete with shield and a skull that can spawn up to five zombies under your control. It may be good for those seeking light necromancy without lengthy rituals and crafting. Another mod that needs investigation. | https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/class-armor-necromancer-and-paladin |
| Minecraft | Electroblob's Wizardry | This mod includes an extensive magic system, where books of various levels (apprentice, novice, advanced, & master) can be discovered in dungeon chests and then applied to wands. The necromancy spells include summoning zombies, skeletons, and wither skeletons as single entities, which despawn after about a minute, but the spells recharge rather quickly and a large amount can be summoned to gather an impressive horde. Master level spells include summoning a wraith or large horde of skeletons. Illusionary tricks such as possession or mind control are also included in the necromancy. | https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/electroblobs-wizardry |
| Minecraft | Summoning Scepters | A new mod for Minecraft 1.16 that adds summoning tomes and staffs of different tiers (1-3 currently) that summon mobs to fight for you. So far the mobs you can summon are Zombies, Skeletons, Strays, Wither Skeletons and tamed horses.
The summons are temporary and need both a staff and tome wielded at the same time while costing health to summon, though armor reduces this cost. While only granting temporary minions, this mod offers several different summons for different playstyles, from using Zombies as meat shields while you fight from afar to using Skeletons and Strays for support while you wade in to fight. A decent addition for Minecraft's limited choice in necromancy mods. | https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/summoningscepters |

| Morrowind | Lichcraft 2 | Info from user suggestion: A mod that lets you be a lich in Morrowind. This offers you all the benefits you'd expect like disease resistance, etc. but also some drawbacks. To function in society you need to maintain illusion magic, otherwise be exposed. Probably quite a good mod for roleplayers.

| Morrowind | Lichcraft 2 Ease of Use Patch | Patches out some of the more tedious parts of Lichcraft, making it a lot easier to start and progress in the mod.

| Mount and Blade Warband | Undead Calradia | A very small mod for M&B Warband where you raise to back to life most of the slain troops. It is one of those mods that leaves the game untouched in that medieval vibe, adding only the "raise dead ability" for the player (it gives a unique feeling making you being the only necromancer present). | https://www.moddb.com/mods/undead-calradia |

| Mount and Blade Warband | Age of Sword and Sorcery | Hello Cheb, have you tried the mod "Age of Sword and Sorcery" for Warband? It has necromancy in it, with very nice looking minions. It's not perfect, and there is sadly no joinable necromantic faction, but I find it quite enjoyable. | https://www.moddb.com/mods/age-of-sword-sorcery |

| Oblivion | Diverse Zombies Resource | A modders' resource that offers different kinds of textured zombies. | https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/19017/ |
| Oblivion | 28 Days and a Bit 4 - ZOMBIES | Brings the zombie apocalypse to Tamriel in Oblivion. From the mod page:
This mod basically simulates a Zombie outbreak in Tamriel. If does not merely
introduce a storyline that is based around Zombies, it instead allows the player
to choose or create his own Zombie scenario; ranging from roaming hordes to slow
infection of the population. Which then spread out and propagate by themselves.
Combined with various tools to help barricade doors, and the ability to wipe out
zombies at a local level gives the player a sandbox environment to play in,
whether they choose to head for the hills, batten down the hatches, or turn a
city into a fortress to call home. | https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/33037 |
| Oblivion | Necromancy and Lichdom | Introduces a new necromancy system where you create leveled undead followers using body parts, as well as the ability to transform into a Lich. | https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/49700 |
| Oblivion | Necromancy - Revive and Subdue NPCs | This is an interesting mod that provides a new angle on necromancy in Oblivion. Unlike most mods where you're reanimating things like skeletons and zombies, this one works more like the reanimation from Skyrim. Definitely worth looking into. Grave digging is also a mechanic. | https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/40874 |
| Oblivion | Epic Necromancy | | https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/40964?tab=description |
| Oblivion | Lichdom Lite - A Minimalist Undeath Mod | This mod lets you become a Lich and get some magic effects, as well as a faction that makes unbound lesser undead non-hostile to you without changing your character's appearance. So if you want lichdom but don't want to look like a lich, this is a good one. | https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/50713?tab=description |

| Rimworld | A Rimworld of Magic | User submission: Made by a creator whom I have heard from a friend (who plays Rimworld a lot) makes good mods. This mod adds a variety of magic and fighter classes. Including Death Knight, Necromancer, Summoner and Warlock to your Rimworld experience. Featuring new clothes, events, enchantments and gem crafting. If you've played Rimworld then you must have quite a few stories to tell, why not make some more? | https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1201382956&searchtext=magic |
| Skyrim | Vrage's Watch | "The mod contains powerful mask which allows you to control and raise (almost) unlimited number of conjured undead. And if conjuration magic is not your thing, just enjoy defeating the foes and solving the puzzles of Vrage’s Watch.
The mask can be found from a fort located northeast of Windhelm." -Mod
A simple mod that does as said above. I like the concept, although the unlimited undead is quite basic. You have to earn the right through going into a dungeon.
| https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/29936 |
| Skyrim | Spectral Horse | A mod that only contains a spell to summon a recolour of Arvak. If purple is more your colour and you aren't interested in visiting the Soul Cairn or doing the Dawnguard DLC.
"The tome to purchase this mount may be sold by most court wizards or randomly found in the world.
There is a guaranteed tome that can be stolen from the Riverwood Trader." -Mod
| https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/31908?tab=description |
| Skyrim | Meeko the Ghost Dog | "...The old hunter died, and his faithful dog Meeko soon followed his master.
A necromancer from the nearby Snowhawk Fort discovered the corpse of a dog, and decided to make himself a personal undead guard.
Brilliant idea at first glance. But only at first ..." -Mod
A beautiful mod for any lonely Necromancer. Now you have a spectral companion to always follow you around in your evil deeds. Coming in a variety of colours, there is sure to be one for your aesthetic. Blood red? Maybe vomit green? Either way adopt Meeko today!
| https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/31496 |
| Skyrim | Styx the Spectral Wolf Companion | "Styx is a shadowy wolf puppy! Adopt her, and watch her grow from a tiny cowardly puppy to big brave alpha wolf!
She is a custom follower, off the vanilla follower framework." -Mod
Arguably one of the best follower mods to have been made. Styx is a spectral wolf that starts as a small adorable spectral pup, and grows into a fierce combat ready canine. With transparent skin and a beautiful skeleton, and a variety of skins and appearances. Styx provides a layer of depth and detail to your gameplay.
| https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/27358?tab=description |
| Skyrim | Wintersun - Faiths of Skyrim | This mod is a general role-playing expansion, making worshiping the gods of Tamriel more immersive and in-depth then the measly buffs and rewards you get in vanilla. Mannimarco the Necromancer god is included as an option, though he's considered a minor diety in this mod.
Earning his favor means that your undead raised at night last longer, and also deal more damage and regen health based on your favor level. To earn his favor, you must trap souls and raise the dead. | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/22506 |
| Skyrim | Orkey's Refuge - Atmospheric Necromancer's Lair | A small, functional home for Necromancers near Fort Greymore. Contains all the basic crafting stations, room for followers and a fitting atmosphere. | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/35857 |

| Skyrim | Path of Transcendance | A Lichdom mod for Skyrim. It features a short quest to attain lichdom as well as some new minion spells like Death Tyrant and Bone Colossus. | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/25654 |
| Skyrim | DX Staff of Necromancy - SE | Adds a custom necromancy themed staff into the game, made from another mods accessories into a functional staff with the 'Dread Zombie' spell. Can be found in Windhelm. | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/38381 |
| Skyrim | Necro Archer - Bound Arrow Reanimation | Made by the author when the Ordinator author wouldn't add his suggestion, this mod adds a perk to the Conjuration tree that makes bound arrows reanimate corpses when shot. Good for long-range necromancers! | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/34579 |
| Skyrim | Tirashan - Necromancer Home SSE | A Skyrim house mod created by the famous author Elianora, now ported to Skyrim SE. Tirashan is a creepy house in a pocket dimension for an aspiring necromancer. Coming with all the needed stations, a merchant, storage and a fashionable witches hat. | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/41257 |
| Skyrim | Necromancy Spells Pack | A spell pack which features several new necromancy-themed spells and a quest to become a dragon priest. Looks like a fine addition to a necromancers mod collection, with one example being a spell that allows you to harvest bodies to permanently raise your magicka pool. | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/36336 |
| Skyrim | Undead Guardians | This mod for Skyrim SE gives you the ability to create permanent undead guards that you can place anywhere in Skyrim.
Meant for role-playing but still functional, this mod lets you harvest bones from corpses and use spells to bring them to life in exchange for a set of ingredients, with the main one being a filled black soul gem, want skeletons to guard your lair?
Would you like to populate a now empty town with the undead?
Or do you want to show who's truly in charge now by replacing the town guards with your army of the dead?
With this mod you can do all of the above and more, what's more you can recruit the guardians at any time to serve as your followers, they can be killed in combat but you can retrieve the soul gem afterwards. All in all, a perfect mod for those who want more permanent undead in their game. | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/52162 |

| Skyrim | The Dark Arts | | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/29834?tab=description |
| Skyrim | NPCs React To Necromancy (And More) | A mod For Skyrim SE that actually makes npcs react to undead both summoned and resurrected.
Depending on the person they will react with disgust and hate you for bringing the dead to life with some guards even trying to arrest you for your foul practices
Some other summons are included for reactions with not as bad results, though you will still be considered suspicious.
All in all, a good mod for some added immersion to Skyrim where mages are supposed to be considered untrustworthy. | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/70428 |
| Skyrim | Vile Art of Necromancy | Info from user suggestion: A necromancy overhaul mod. Including the Necronomicon. Necromantic Alchemy, dissection, unholy artefacts of your own make, and even selling the souls of your enemies to Daedric Lords! Getting Daedric coins in return!
*SKSE 1.05.09+ IS REQUIRED TO RUN THIS MOD*
| https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/12094/? |
| Skyrim | Path of The Revenant | Info from user suggestion: Featuring a new player home, 2 new artefacts, a new dungeon, AND a new quest. POTR is a nice little mod that appears to have a lot of work and love put into it. A necromancer is causing strife in Dawnstar. Will you purge this misunderstood individual? Or take his lair and power for yourself?
PS: The helm artefact allows you to have an infinite number of undead.
| https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2352 |
| Skyrim | Bonehawk Prison - Death Knight and Necromancer Player Home | As of 08/07/2023: mod is hidden by author. Hopefully it returns.
A Death Knight/Necromancer themed home inspired by the classic 'Legend of the Eagles Nest' player home mod.
Bonehawk Prison is an isolated fortress in the mountains of Skyrim with room for yourself, a pet and a follower to call home, featuring several mod integrations and all the necessitates you'll need for crafting.
A perfect home for a necromancer wanting some privacy! | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/72186 |
| Skyrim | Skyramas - A Death Knight Playerbase and Spell Pack | Info from user suggestion: For people who love Warcraft 3 undead and necromancy, this may be of interest. It adds Warcraft 3 necromancy structures to Skyrim as well as spells from Warcraft 3.
| https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/34669 |
| Skyrim | Playable Skeleton Races - Become a Lich (5 types - Orc Human Elf Khajiit Argonian) | Info from user suggestion: Adds support for non-human skeletons and playable lich races. The liches look pretty cool and are available in DnD-style with red dots in the eye sockets as well as other colours and styles like gems in the eye sockets. It also adds lich themed equipment and a player home along with much more.
A very nice mod to have if you want to look and feel like a lich.
| https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/23165 |
| Skyrim | Undead summons emerge from the ground | Info from user suggestion: A simple animation replacer to make all undead emerge from the ground when summoned. A nice aesthetic touch for necromancers looking for it.
| https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/33955 |
| Skyrim | Necromage Conjuration Spells (Uses Mihails mobs) | Info from user suggestion: Add 40 conjuration spell tomes plus Waterwalking and Grand Ward. Most of the monsters are from Mihails mods. Standalone mod, doesn't require Mihails mods installed.
The new undead this mod adds look very cool.
| https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/18806 |
| Skyrim | Morbus Immortui - Revenancy | This mod adds a disease to the game that will transform you into an undead creature called a Revenant. This offers a mixture of benefits and drawbacks to the afflicted player. | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/4430/ |
| Skyrim | Undeath - The Ascension | This is an expansion mod to the Undeath mod. It improves the lich transformation by adding new features to it:
- Female liches
- More variants for lich gear
- All dragon masks available
- Equipment loadout remembered and restored after transformation

| Skyrim | Necromaster Skills - Mihail Powers and Spells | Something I need to investigate, no clue if good or not - yet. | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/95909 |
| Skyrim | Undeath Remastered | This mod allows you to become a lich. | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/6180 |
| Skyrim | Dead and Daedric Guardians | A successor mod to 'Undead Guardians' this mod for Skyrim grants you the power to create permanent guards both undead and Deadric.
By spending materials you can permanently summon undead and Deadra to either guard areas for you or follow you into battle. Plus you can arm and armor them allowing you to customize them for roleplay purposes.
All in all, this looks to be a worthy successor to 'Undead Guardians' and offers more by way of roleplay for you game including some aspects that are hidden behind quests in order to be unlocked, such as summoning undead dragons to serve you. | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/87897 |
| Skyrim | Dragons Giants Mammoths and Trolls Drop Skulls | A mod that makes trolls, dragons and mammoths always drop skulls when killed. Not a necromancy mod, but it can be useful in combination with necromancy mods that require skulls. Path of Sorcery in particular comes to mind, where troll skulls are needed to make a few of the more powerful minions. In vanilla Skyrim, troll skulls are a rather rare resource. There are a few statically placed ones in houses, shops and dungeons and you can find them occasionally in merchants. But after a while they can become difficult to acquire. | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/52834 |
| Skyrim | Necromaster Skills- Mihail Powers and Spells (mihail oldrim mod) | This mod offers a great array of dark magic and necromancy stuff. Of particular interest are the unique undead minion varieties, all of which appear to be custom assets not found in the game. Definitely worth investigating. | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/95909 |
| Skyrim | Dwemer Certified | This mod allows you to craft armies of Dwemer robot followers.
Attention: The mod Perkus Maximus also allows you to craft Dwemer robot followers, in addition to adding all kinds of wonderful undead for you to make and use and also overhauling a lot of other things in Skyrim. But if you don't want all that and just want the robots, maybe this is nice. There may also be minor differences between the implementations. This would benefit from further investigation. | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/15686 |
| Skyrim | Overlord - Become an Evil Lich | For fans of the Overlord anime, this mod might be great. From the mod page:
Mod adds over 150 new spells(staff and scrolls), a new custom perk tree with 20+ perks, a custom fully playable Lich Race, 80+ new items (armors, weapons, rings etc), quests, locations, followers and MUCH more in a vanilla and lore friendly way. Everything is highly balanced and not too OP. The mod is based on light novel series "Overlord"! | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/17481 |
| Skyrim | Erika The Necromancer | A Follower mod for Skyrim SE. This one adds a necromancer to serve as your companion. She doesn't have any special perks so she's a little bland, but if you want to build a party of Necromancers for your Skyrim playthrough she'll make a decent addition. | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/10069 |
| Skyrim | Senche Khajiit Lich Companion Jo'vassa | This mod adds a Lich Khajiit variant to aid you. She comes with her own unique spell to summon Draugr deathlords and has a copy of the spell for your to use in her inventory. She comes with a few more tricks that make her a powerful ally in battle. | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/32366?tab=description |
| Skyrim | Necromancer Follower - Xavier | A unique necromancer follower found in Morthal inn. He comes with his own custom spells and armor set making him a good addition if you want a special follower for your playthrough. | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/12921 |
| Skyrim | Mysticism - A Magic Overhaul | A magic overhaul mod simply put. Which adjusts vanilla spells while adding over 200 new spells! The conjuration tree however is where it's at. With an emphasis on spectral summonings, at master you can summon spectral man beasts and massive skeletal colossi. | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/27839 |
| Skyrim | BoneMaster | Based on Ordinator. BoneMaster focuses on skeletal constructs and undead. It allows for the summoning of multiple skeletal undead that do not contribute to the summon limit. It is very similar to other mods, however appears unique in what it provides: being 3 different skeleton types you can make use of. | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/101203 |
| Skyrim | PsiKotics Necromancy Mod SSE | Info from user suggestion: Psikotics Necromancy Mod was the first Skyrim necromancy mod I ever played, long before other options like Ordinator, Perkus Maximus or Path of Sorcery were available. It's a good necromancy mod and will please most necromancers, but the minions are summons and not crafted. It can be combined with one of the monster mod packs to give cooler looking undead minions.
It's an ambitious mod and even has rudimentary lair crafting - something present in some Oblivion necromancy mods, but completely absent from Skyrim mods. Unfortunately it was abandoned by its author long ago and left incomplete. Some of the lair crafting etc. is working though.

| Skyrim | Psikotics Necromancy | | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/21154 |
| Skyrim | King of Worms I Queen of Dawn - Player Homes for Paladins and Necromancers | A player home mod with a quest added to it. Find the lost Shrine of Meridia, Deadric Prince of Light and destroyer of undead, and restore it as a paladin to a true home, or corrupt it entirely into a dreary den for your Necromantic deeds and magics. | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/35779 |

| Skyrim | Meeko the Ghost Dog | This mod turns the vanilla pet Meeko into a ghost for you to recruit. The mod makes him stronger, essential and also makes it so he can level alongside you so he remains useful late-game. There's some changes to his shack made to explain why he's the way he is. | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/31496 |
| Skyrim | Styx the Spectral Wolf Companion | A ghostly wolf puppy who you can find in Falkreath. Styx starts off small, but over time grows in size becoming a powerful ally. Good for roleplaying. | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/27358?tab=description |
| Skyrim | Undeath - Classical Lichdom | A recent addon for the 'Undeath' mod for Skyrim, 'Classical Lichdom' aims to be a more lightweight yet comprihensive addon then the others made before it.
It mainly focuses on fixing issues with the original mod whilst also adding new features and making old ones more user-friendly.
It's only real drawback is it's incompatible with the older addons made before it. But otherwise looks very interesting. | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/40802 |
| Skyrim | The Black Sepulchre | A very impressive home mod for vampires and necromancers alike, this crypt near Falkreath Cemetery has all the comforts of home an evil character could want including crafting stations, displays for trophies, room for spouse and even cages for children.
The biggest features of this mod is that two rooms actually change as you move through the game, the treasure room as it's fuilled with the collectibles found in game will slowly fill with gold, and the skull room will fill with the skulls from every unique boss in the game as you defeat them.
This mod not only gives you a good place for your necromancer to live in, it also helps you remember how far you've come by changing as you progress through the game itself. | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/50725 |
| Skyrim | Forbidden Arts - Book of Necromancy | A new Necromancy mod for Skyrim SE that adds nine new necromancy spells to play with, requires Mihail's 'Undead Pack' mod to work. The summoning spells are unique in that they have unlimited summon time instead reducing your max Magicka while active. Certainly worth looking into for a proper 'Necromancer' feel in Skyrim. | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/61238 |
| Skyrim | Local Resurrect | Resurrect spells that do not require targeting. Custom hand, enchant, staff, and book arts. | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/62729?tab=description |

| Skyrim | Xavier TDN Necromancer Follower SSE - Original or Default Body options - v3.3.0 | "The mod adds a new companion into the game, an altmer Necromancer known as Xavier. He is a standalone, immortal follower.
Xavier does not support marriage.
Xavier supports marriage now.
He is a Conjuration master and balanced to ensure that your character still gets a fair share of opponents to slay and is able to level up properly.

| Skyrim | The Path of Transcendence - Lichdom | A very nice lichdom mod. | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/25654 |
| Skyrim | Dark Manuevers | Info from user suggestion: The mod is very neat for a vampiric necromancer. The most interesting thing for necromancy is the "Raise Undead Lord" spell that reanimates a corpse, which can each resurrect an amount of corpses based on your blood level (A feature added by the mod after unlocking all VL perks). Along with that, you can create gargoyles and make thralls and a bunch of other stuff. Super fun, despite only being for oldrim you can port it easily and the sacrosanct patch doesn't even need porting to function
| https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/49654 |
| Skyrim | Necromancy -- Undead FX | Info from user suggestion: A beautiful mod for any aspiring necromancer. Once risen, corpses will decompose and rot. Showing the bones beneath, you can change how much the risen body decays. Due to the nature of this mod, you can guarantee a unique look more or less every time. With unique bones for Khajiit and Argonians, what is not to love?
| https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/36158?tab=files |
| Skyrim | Resurrect Dragon Shout and Call Nafaalilargus Shout | Info from user suggestion: Pretty self explanatory. If you're sick and tired of a dragon skeleton rag dolling half way across the world, this mod is for you. Spending a dragon soul to reanimate a dragon, only to get the soul back once the effect ends. You can truly become the conduit of souls you have always yearned for. Also featuring a follower by the name of Nafaalilargus. Be sure to check the link for additional information.
| https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/37046/ |
| Skyrim | Clean up your Corpses | Info from user suggestion: So you have just murdered fifty people. Aren't those corpses just polluting the otherwise beautiful countryside? Well worry no more my budding haemophiliac! This mod allows you to stick corpses to walls, on trees, bury them, slap em on a stick, boil em, mash em, it has it all! From eco friendly burials to industrialist cremations! Why not spell your own name with the corpses? With this mod you certainly can!

| Skyrim | Lord of the Dead Reborn | Info from user suggestion: A mod that adds necromantic perks, powers and spells. Surely a good addition to anyone's collection. Although it does seem generic in my humble opinion. It appeals more for immersive roleplay playthroughs, be sure to give it a try if interested. A perk of this mod is that it allows you to conjure spirits. In a game with heavy emphasis on raising corpses, i do appreciate something new to the table.

| Skyrim | Skyrim Power Fantasy - Necromancy | A lore-friendly necromancy mod with interesting spells. Worth considering for a light weight necromancy mod. | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/98277 |
| Skyrim | No Collision Between Actors SSE | This mod turns collision off for actors. This is an essential mod for necromancers with large armies because without it, your own minions will trap you and restrict your movement. With this mod you can simply run through all your minions not not ever get trapped. | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/3469/ |
| Slay the Spire | The Necromancer | This mod introduces a new Necromancer character to Slay the Spire. He can throw around negative energy, curses, bones and blood. He can summon minions, inflict debilitating debuffs onto his enemies and then exploit those weaknesses.
Minions currently function as powers which activate at the end of the player's turn. The modder has plans to switch them to use "Friendly Minions" in the future. | https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1632272814 |

| Torchlight II | Synergies | A mod featuring a necromancer. I personally wasn't too fond of it (details in video) but who knows how it is now. It is very popular. | https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=136232408 |
| Total War Warhammer 2 | Cataph and Vandy's: Return of the Lichemaster | This is a mod that makes the necromancer experience of playing with Heinrich totally different, it divides its ties with the vampire counts and becomes its own necromancer faction, it gets rid of most vampire like units in his roster and replaces them with a whole new list of different undeads to recruit. The Barrow legions now play like a Horde, meaning it can march and recruit on the way, and have huge quantities of soldiers at one. The different warlords you can recruit now must be earned by completing certain tasks, like defiling ruins or destroying a quantity of towns, theres only 3 other lords to recruit but they also become a horde. The tech trees and bloodlines mechanics get totally revamped, and replaced by new more necromantic mechanics, like necrotic power, which scales each time you defile ruins or generated by certain buildings in your Horde.
A whole new skill set for every character, and Krell is now inmortal. | https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1702423659 |
| Total War Warhammer 2 | Undead Supremacy - VC/Skeleton Unit Pack | A Total Warhammer 2 Mod that adds new units to the VC:
It should still work but I haven't touched the mod since August 2021.
No guarantees it will work with mods that also touch VC unit roster. When I made this mod I had used it with a multi-hundred mod collection of mine and it worked, but I did not have any overhaul mods. So again, no guarantees it will work.
New Units added:
Dreadlord: Wightking Lord type, it is a Wight king with some Necromancer magic skills capable of leading armies. Good for people wanting a strict skeleton/undead-non-vampiric units only. They have missing portraits sadly.
Skeleton Archer: 140 units, Basic, large units with fairly good ranged bows.
Graveguard Crossbows: 100 units, AP, large units with hard hitting Crossbows.
Death Guard (Axe and Shield): 16 man unit of large, high mass, incredibly durable units.
Skeleton Rifle Bearers: 100 unit equipped with good ranged AP rifles.
Grave Cannons: Emp Great Cannons with a large Skeleton Crew. | https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2569326080 |
| Total War Warhammer 2 | Isabella Von Carstein | A mod that changes some things about Isabella von Carstein. | https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=765762123 |
| Total War Warhammer 2 | Mixu's Mousillion | A nice mod that adds Mousillion as a playable faction and tweaks it to make it very different to play as than the other Vampire Count factions. It changes the units, removing a lot of standard Vampire Count ones and replacing them with new units to make them feel more like the undead Bretonian faction that Mousillion is supposed to be. | https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1192780327 |
| Total War Warhammer 3 | Legions of Nagash | A mod to allow you to play as Nagash, the first and most powerful Necromancer in Warhammer, and use his unique undead faction. Has loads of new units, an interesting campaign and of course comes with Nagash himself. One of the best Necromancy mods for Total War: Warhammer. | https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2994648223 |
| Total War Warhammer 3 | Necromancy | This modification introduces a fresh mechanism for unit recruitment to all undead factions and includes 33 new units, 28 of which are compatible with the new recruitment system. The mechanism is simple - when you defeat an enemy unit in battle, you acquire the bones of that unit as a pooled resource. You can then use these bones to raise a skeleton version of that unit. For example, if you slay a dragon, you will obtain its bones, research the anatomy of dragon skeletons, craft the skeleton, and add it to your army's recruitment tab.
Additionally, you can obtain bones through excavation. By assuming the digging stance in any climate, you will have a chance to find bones. | https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2869979154 |
| Valheim | Cheb's Necromancy | Cheb's Necromancy adds Necromancy to Valheim via craftable wands and structures. Minions will follow you, guard your base, and perform menial tasks like woodcutting, farming, mining. | https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/2040 |
| Valheim | Friendly Skeleton Wand | Adds a wand that can be used to craft friendly skeletons to guard your base with. Each skeleton costs 3 bone fragments. Values are configurable eg. skeleton can be made free to create by setting requirements to 0 in the config. | https://valheim.thunderstore.io/package/ChebGonaz/FriendlySkeletonWand/ |
| Valheim | Necromancy | This mod introduces Necromancy into the game. It allows the player to summon up to 8 powerful skeletons by sacrificing HP with a new "convoking wand" added into the game. You can heal, sacrifice, and command your skeletons. Skeletons will also teleport with you and follow you. | https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/1003 |
| Warcraft 3 | Path of the Damned - Unholy Ed. 1.111 | Info from user suggestion: "A different take on the classic Undead campaign for RoC, with an updated game mechanic for the undead race, along with new spells for Arthas and Kel`Thuzad and new models for the Elven and Dalaran factions." -Mod
A mod that tries to make the undead more thematic and realistic. This reworks the Undead faction in the Warcraft 3 campaign. With an emphasis on necromancers being the back bone of the Scourge. A new tech tree, and big emphasis on corpses. However i have read that it "falls off" in later missions.
if, like me, you feel the Scourge in Warcraft 3 haven't fully met their potential. Then this mod is for you.

| Warcraft 3 | Rise of the Vampyr | Two players play as the Vampyr Lord and Vampyr Lady and work together to destroy various towns and eventually the King, raising massive armies from vampire spawn necromancers who can create corpses. Game requires four vampire hunters and a town guard player, who work together to stop the vampyrs from killing the king, as well as a werewolf player who starts and neutral and picks a side. The Vampyrs get to resurrect the vampire hunters as vampires if they kill them, who also have the same necromancy mechanics, though have more of a limit on how many minions they can have. Undead are mostly permanent, though die when night turns to day--they can be spawned in again, but everything for the undead is weaker during the day and more powerful at night, and vice-versa for the hunters. Captures the feeling of a slowly growing horde that cascades out of control very well when you get the hang of it. | https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/rise-of-the-vampyr-3-82.275876/ |

| Warcraft 3 | The Necromancer - Reanimated Edition | Info from user suggestion: An interesting mod to say the least. The Necromancer appears to be a dark fantasy mod, where you, the main character are a Necromancer. Your goal is to conquer the land and kill the forces of good, pretty self explanatory.
"The Necromancer takes place not in the world of Warcraft, but in the land of Angora. Angora is a blackened, wasted and miserable world of pain and suffering, but there still exists hope and sheds of hope. Seven generations ago, the war between The Alliance of Man and the Orchish Horde nearly destroyed the world. The greatest mages of the Alliance called forth a great evil from a horrible world known as the Netherverse, a creature known as "Desopath" to save their kingdom. A desperate and heinous act, it was not without consequences. Desopath wrecked havok across the world, destroying everything in his path until he was sealed away. After that horrid event, Orckind and Man entered into a flimsy peace agreement in the interest only of self-preservation." -Mod
It looks promising, despite the lore being confusing in my opinion. Something to take into account however is that this mod allows you to have a massive army of undead. Due to the UI of Warcraft 3, you can only have so many units selected at once. Which can be problematic. However it is at least worth a look.
