Shirley Curry, Beloved Skyrim Grandma, Retires from The Elder Scrolls Content Creation
Shirley’s Retirement: A Refined Step at 90
Shirley Curry, affectionately known as the “Skyrim Grandma” by her fans, has officially announced her retirement from creating content related to The Elder Scrolls series as she approaches her 90th birthday. Curry has been a beloved figure in the gaming community for her decade-long dedication to uploading videos of her adventures in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. In a recent YouTube video titled “My Goodbye to Skyrim,” she explained her decision to step back from making new content for her fans.
“I’ll soon be 90 years old,” Curry shared, reflecting on her decision. Despite her enthusiasm and creativity, she expressed that she was feeling fatigued and uninspired with the game. “Every time I come up with a new idea for how to play a story in Skyrim… I may make one or two or three with a new character and then I’m bored again. So that’s why I’m going to stop uploading anything to do with Skyrim.”
Transition to New Ventures and Community Engagement
While Curry’s focus will shift away from Skyrim, she continues to engage her community in other ways. For those still keen on experiencing her presence in the game, she recommends downloading a fan-made mod that adds her as an in-game companion, available through Nexus Mods.
Curry also highlighted her ongoing commitment to her Bible study YouTube channel, inviting interested followers to join her there. She expressed her ongoing appreciation for long-time supporters, encouraging them to stay connected through email and occasional vlogs.
Looking Ahead: No Mention of Elder Scrolls 6
Interestingly, Curry made no reference to her anticipated appearance in The Elder Scrolls 6, despite Bethesda’s previous statement about including her in the forthcoming project. The game’s launch remains a mystery, with only a teaser trailer released over seven years ago.
As for maintaining communications, Curry has shared her postal address in her video description for fans who wish to send her letters via mail. “I hope my older viewers will stay with me and keep talking with me as you have been,” she concluded.
Despite stepping down from Skyrim uploads, Shirley Curry’s legacy and impact on the gaming community as the cherished “Skyrim Grandma” will continue to resonate with her fans and fellow gamers.
