In all my hours of Skyrim, I’m not sure I’ve ever really sat down at a table for a meal. I usually eat on the go—while running around, riding a horse, or in the middle of the battle with a dragon. What better time to scarf down an entire wheel of cheese than when you’re about to be turned to cinders by an ancient flying lizard, right?
Mostly I use tables as a quick distraction while sprinting through a castle. If I spy a long table covered with utensils, tableware, and food, I leap onto it, kick everything onto the floor, and dash out of the room. Just for fun.
Visual Enhancement for Skyrim's Dining Experience

That’s Skyrim? Even with all the visual enhancement mods I’ve seen over the years, it’s hard to believe. It looks like fine art from whatever period people painted tables covered with jugs and fruit and stuff. Beautiful.
ENB Series, ENB Dynamic Cubemaps, and several more. Make sure you fully read the description and instructions on the Nexus Mod page for GG’s Complex Silverware mod before you start installing it.
