As The Elder Scrolls 5 turns 15, massive mod Beyond Skyrim: Bruma gets a 2.0 update delivering a new quest, extra dungeons and an "expanded worldspace"

Beyond Skyrim: Bruma, a major *Skyrim* expansion mod, has released version 2.0 to coincide with the game’s 15th anniversary. The update introduces new quests, dungeons, and additional explorable areas in Cyrodiil, the province featured in *The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion*. The mod’s creators emphasized that the update was driven by technical needs rather than nostalgia, addressing long-standing development challenges.

The 2.0 update includes a fully voiced quest titled *All The Wrong Places*, which was originally cut from the mod’s initial release. Players will also encounter several new dungeons, interiors, and an expanded worldspace in Bruma. The update adds new clothing, armor, weapons—including the mod’s first spear—enemies, spells, enchantments, world encounters, books, and treasure maps, along with overhauled boss fights.

Technical improvements include a new "build stripper" tool that simplifies future updates by merging changes into a single development build. The update also features a new opening title splash, improved FPS in Bruma’s city, and small additions like an apple to Jerall View Inn. The modders described the update as a significant step forward in preparing for future expansions.

The 2.0 version of Beyond Skyrim: Bruma is available on Nexus Mods and requires *Skyrim: Special Edition* version 1.6 or higher. Players using older saves will need to start a new playthrough, as the update is not compatible with previous versions. The mod also requires a separate shared asset repository to function properly.
