For the most part, the main objective of Heljarchen Farm - Skyrim Special Edition is just to grow crops and gather herbs. However, players can also take advantage of other aspects of the game like going after animals or even capturing enemy towns and castles. Each of these will help players get around the map as they start to build their own home base and become stronger. The capture of castles and towns are especially helpful because these help players gain more experience and level up faster while they're on the farm to harvest crops that are used to sell for money in the capital city of Windhelm.

While players do have complete control over how the landscape is developed with the help of a plot of land to create the farm, the visual aspect of the game does need some help. This is where Skvindt and crew have really done their job. The special edition of the game includes all sorts of different landscape mods that not only make the landscape look better but also create more realistic elements. This makes the player-owned farm look as real as any other mod created by the same team.

Some of the other features of the game made for this edition include new animals for players to collect, cooking options to add to food stocks and a whole lot more. All of this adds up to make this game an enjoyable experience for anyone who has played previous versions. It's a great addition to the growing pool of mods being made for this game.
