Can you Become a Daedric Prince in Skyrim?

Skyrim does not allow the Dragonborn to become a Daedric Prince by regular means. You can be a follower of a prince, but players themselves cannot gain the status of Daedric Prince. A mod, however, grants players with this wish. The Daedra Mod allows players to play as a Daedra while allowing them to go through Skyrim as before. Through this mod, your status will excel to that of a Deity, and you will gain the power to summon Dremora minions and collect the souls of your enemies. This is the closest players can get to being a Daedric Prince. Other mods grant players with worshipping attributes; in return, you receive blessings from the Daedric Prince you worship.
