Introduction
About The Phoenix Flavour - Dragon’s Edition
What if Skyrim was released a bit later?
The Phoenix Flavour (TPF) for Skyrim Special Edition is a visuals and gameplay-focused modlist made by Phoenix. It includes hundreds of mods across several dozen categories, all carefully selected to fit Phoenix’s vision of a lore-friendly, improved but not radically changed Skyrim. The Phoenix Flavour strives to provide a solid upgrade of the vanilla experience with modern visuals and rebalanced gameplay.
The Phoenix Flavour - Dragon’s Edition (TPF DE or DE) is a fork of The Phoenix Flavour. It expands Skyrim’s world and possibilities extensively by adding adventuristic content for many tastes and beautiful sceneries surrounding it.

Recommended Hardware
Overall modded Skyrim is highly GPU-dependent. A fast card with plenty of VRAM will considerably improve performance. Installing the game on an SSD will improve load times dramatically and prevent stutter.
- CPU: Processor with high single core performance (3.2GHz or more);
- RAM: 8-16 GB of DDR3 or DDR4 memory, running at 2400MHz or faster;
- GPU: A modern card with at least 6 GB of VRAM;
- Hard Drive: At least 170 GB of free space on your SSD, at least 100 GB - on your HDD.
Overall Dragon’s Edition needs a bit more resources than its parent, but at the same time not as much as the most popular modlists for high-end PCs’ users. Everything from modern mid-end PC to high-end PC should run the modlist well without any problems.
Widescreen and controller support is included.
