Bethesda Game Studios has announced that the number of Skyrim Steam Workshop downloads has topped 13.6 million!

The user-made mods were facilitated by the February release of the Skyrim Creation Kit. The freely downloadable program gives gamers access to Bethesda's own development tools to make new Skyrim content and distribute it for free through Valve's Steam service. Some mods simply add weapons and armor to the game, but others allow players to use working fishing nets, kill the ordinarily invincible children, or remove the game's meme-spawning "arrow to the knee" line of dialogue.
