That depends on your order and what you're going to try and build. Wyrmstooth slots into orders without an issue, TPoS you'll want to build an order around or it will cause problems. They're both great mods but they're totally different things so it's not like I can just say that "one is a better version of the same thing use that one"
I finally got round this, and it truly does feel like DLC. I can’t imagine my load order without it now. Everything you’ve listed is on point. Great addition to the game.
I thoroughly enjoy this mod. The main storyline is a little weak at the end, but the land is full of places to explore, good voice acting, rewarding loot, powerful and creative weapons, neat models, rich and interesting dungeons, creative side quests, and to top it all off… arguably the coolest player home you can buy in an expansion mod. A lot of love and care was put in to it. It gets an A in my book.
I think that Pit Fighter: Travels would be a cool addition to the Largest Skyrim order. If you are including Gray Cowl of Nocturnal in your largest Skyrim, I think you should mention Alikr Flora Overhaul, Hammerfell Blades, and Desertic Dark Brotherhood. They all help fill the part of Hammerfell you visit a bit while also connecting it to the vanilla factions.
Do you know how hard you make it to finalize my LO?! :P Thanks for all the great reviews and ideas - you've really helped me to turn Skyrim into a place I love being!
i really appreciated how this mod draws from so many other quests and lands. i have played thousand and thousands of hours of skyrim and i finally found a mod i could get lost in. really took me by surprise and made me sit down for a good 6 hours and explore.
As an OG player of the very earliest version of this mod, I have to say that the attention this new iteration is receiving makes me smile. Jonxor, the mod author (who has a RUclips channel), was extremely creative when he first put this together, and the new items, features, and details are a wonder to behold for one who played when it was much less developed. The flavor of Wyrmstooth, the atmosphere, always struck a deeper chord with me than vanilla Skyrim, and I often choose to visit it, even after clearing all the content, simply for the "feels." I envy those who are only just about to start their adventures on Wyrmstooth, and hope that Jonxor will continue to develop his magnum opus over time. =^[.]^=
Beautifully put! Work like this deserves recognition and the OG author deserves a job at Bethesda. The design, features, story and events are wonderfully done... I'd say this is as good as or better than Solstheim
On my first experience of wyrmstooth right now, and I just can’t believe how expansive it feels, and I can’t believe it was a free add on! I can’t wait to find out more about the island and the lore that’s within it because I find it hard to put down at this point, just like my first time playing Skyrim :)
Loving the environments & encounters in this mod but having to play daycare for 4 different NPCs on top of my own follower during my very first foray into Wyrmstooth is sapping a lot of the fun out of things
The entire questline in my opinion was overly drawn out...the crypt is so big and empty...then you go into a blackreach clone without anything to look for or do additionally. Than you go into a dwemer facility that just sucked because of the sheer amount of falmer and automatons...I found myself just saying screw that and ran through the flood of enemies. Its an awesome dlc but I think the guy needs to either tone down the size of rooms and dungeons...or add more stuff and not just 50000 enemies. I like me some npc murder but I leveled up 18 times through the dungeon.
I do have a mod suggestion even though it's likely been covered in packs already by you, but there's a file for NORDWARs armors aio and it's much less space taken than all the separate files together. It's a solid overhaul of all the armors in the games in one package that isn't just a vanilla plus style. Probably the best mod for armors on xbox imo.
@@Modswell Also, didn't realize you had premade load orders. Very interesting thing to add, never really was great at meshing mods together to look good as a whole, so hoping to be able to utilize some of those and change them a bit.
@@Modswell I have a general idea of my list, my hardest part is keeping frame rate while having the lush trees and I suck with LOD but you've just uploaded something I can use. Mainly going for an enhanced skyrim, graphics, lod, cities and paths and stuff like that. You've been releasing a lot of quality additions, your city combo for example. Everything looks great but slight fps hit because of some of my LO. Do you think dropping ELFX and flora overhaul 2.0 and replacing those would help? Frames aren't terrible in most places but Falkreath and the rift can get overwhelmed. (My xbox is also very old, the original, waiting to buy a series x when they're more available, very well could be my console)
"The Northern Cardinal" ship mod allows me to bring the ship to the docks and travel betwixt Wyrmstooth and the other regions. I hope i can find compatibility patch for "The Scarlett" ship as well, although the northern cardinal is the perfect ship for me. Im honestly surprised it doesnt seem like Inigo or Lucien have lines for this, but its no problem for me.
Wyrmstooth is a really great mod. Quest mods can be hit or miss (looking at you Forgotten city) but this one is definitely a hit, especially for the smaller file size
Is there a way to fix my issue with the mod: I traveled to the island and Luries did his dialogue but no one’s moving anywhere afterwards, they all are just standing at the docks not doing anything
[Late] It was... _ok_ I guess, but I might be a bit bias, because I also have Legacy of the Dragonborn, Interesting NPCs, Immersive Citizens - AI Overhaul and BUVARP installed.
@@Modswell mostly because regular citizens, risking their lives against Vampires and Dragons _(with their fists/ dagger)_ will never make sense to me in these games. Also, some of the areas in the Mod felt _needlessly_ large, almost as if a Boss fight was supposed to happen there, that just didn't for some reason. I did like the Draugr minigame, the pre-Boss battle with the undead adventurers and a few other quests, but could've done without Blackreach 2.0.
Weapons on back coupled with visible favourited Gear is what's on my back I have a bunch of animations youd have to check my latest order to know and I cant quite remember myself
@@Modswell I forgot something, I have mods that improve the AI of the enemies, as well as mods that improve the textures of the characters and the world itself, maybe I'm a little paranoid but, will there be no compatibility issues with Wyrmstooth?
Thanks very much :) Those will work absolutely fine with Wyrmstooth :D it's pretty compatible and as it uses a ton of vanilla assets having the retextures is perfect
I bring this up a bunch because I remember it so vividly back in 2011-2013, but I remember people saying Bethesda were going to release a Fourth Skyrim DLC about going to Stros M’kai to kill the undead spirit of the Dragon that was in The Elder Scrolls: Redguard. This Mod reminds me a lot of it for some reason.
@@Modswell Thats why I limit the quest mods with regular new dungeons. The higher the bsa file, the more strain on the game engine/pc. Wrymstooth has a 300k mb bsa file alone, so having another huge land mod is pushing it. However, all the other mods I listed are in 1-50k mb except for Skyrim Underground.
I've never experienced issues with new lands as they're in their own little separate zones, theyve always worked very well with little to no strain, I ran Midwood, elswyr, bruma all together and it ran lovely
2 weeks late but to be honest, Wyrmstooth’s plot was literally: “hey, I need you to go kill this dragon because it’s a pain in the ass.” The trailer talked about the resurrection of the dragon cult and “the return of the ways of old” or whatever and hearing that you’d think about a possible second dragon war. But literally neither of those are explored upon in the mod. I’m up for a good dragon-slaying but to me this legit just felt like an extended version of the bounty mission to kill dragons that stewards give you at literally any hold.
I quite liked the story because of the characters, world design and mission design. But yes, at it's core this is just a hunt the dragon mission but isn't the main game as well?
Hey mate I take the chance to tell you that I love your videos, I feel with a place knowing that there are ppl playing skyrim haha even of the game launched a while ago
Gonna have to disagree with it being better than solstheim. At least story wise, and lore wise for that matter. However I do agree it has the most interesting gameplay twists. But writing wise the dawnguard dlc is easily the best written since it has more depth (mostly serana) than any of the other dlc
Fair enough, it definitely wins for lore I just preferred the overall narrative here. I also wasnt a huge fan of the characters in Dawnguard, Seranas entrance was fantastic and generally her story is cool but her voice lines detract from the lengths shes gone to so much. This women hid herself from them all, put her own life on hold essentially to stop her farther but then moans constantly ahah In fairness it's a game and voice lines were limited, I'd like to see her in a film or TV show to give her some depth
@@Modswell I can agree on that and technically she was forced by her mom thats why she complains to me she abd partysnax where the most compelling characters in the game but i will say wyrmstooth definitely captures the "Skyrim" feel that most other quest mods don't
Partysnax is my favourite character! And anyone who kills him is a wrong! That's part of the reason I like Wyrmstooth it fits in so well, the characters seem a bit smarter than normal ones but it was quite nice to have competent adventurers with me for once lol. I also still struggle to believe its size a little bit
I pronounce it like that and people complain, I pronounce it in my incorrect way people complain... I now just say it and however it comes out I just let it lay ... I'm about 99.9% certain I wont upset anyone from there
Gonna have to make a whole new character just for this mod lol. Awesome review!
Its 100% worth it
You’re so underrated bro, always appreciate your straight forward meticulous videos
Thanks very much :D
That depends on your order and what you're going to try and build.

Meticulous engines
I finally got round this, and it truly does feel like DLC. I can’t imagine my load order without it now. Everything you’ve listed is on point. Great addition to the game.
Glad you like it, one of my favs easily
I like the new profile icon.
My bud Tilty got it done for me, were doing a rebrand and this is the new name and icon... some great work, I'm glad you like it
I will play this tonight thank you for the review and no spoilers that is good
I hope you enjoy it brother
Great video and a playthrough series would be awesome!
Ok I'll add it to the line up!
Wow you make really thought out well put together videos for such a small youtuber keep up the great work.
Thanks very much!
Great video, I'll have to give this a try when I can make space
You'll like it bud, one of the best mods I've ever played
Looks great, would be excited for a series! Plus, I like the new font
Ok it looks like people want a series so that's really awesome!

I will be using the Grey Cowl but I will have to check out compatibility because I know I use a few mods that that one doesnt like lol
Do you know how hard you make it to finalize my LO?! :P Thanks for all the great reviews and ideas - you've really helped me to turn Skyrim into a place I love being!
Haha I'm glad its helping so much :D
This is great I will have to try this also I would love to see a (mini?) Playthrough. Ps. I like the new profile pic.
I'm glad you like it, my friend is helping me so massively!
A mini playthrough can be done

really took me by surprise and made me sit down for a good 6 hours and explore.
Massively agree, fits in with Skyrim but is also different enough to get your teeth sunk into without thinking "this is just more of the same"
Damn thousand of hours thats damm dammit to much god dammit
Oh i just saw this Upload! ( I was busy with the new Doom DLC)
Good Video as always mate!
Btw i like the new Pfp
How's the DLC?
When you have some time give this a play :)
Thanks you!
Great review, you are amazing, keep it up!

Im honestly surprised it doesnt seem like Inigo or Lucien have lines for this, but its no problem for me.
This is going to be a little off topic but. What’s the mod to get that quiver/arrows your holstering. 2:00
In using Nordic Arrows with BFQ, Old Kingdom is my retexture
Thanks ver much man I was looking for a quiver set to match my outfit
What is your favorite weather setup that you’ve used so far?
Ooofft Sophie's choice
Kynes however I love this current one and its soooooo much cheaper
Wyrmstooth is a really great mod. Quest mods can be hit or miss (looking at you Forgotten city) but this one is definitely a hit, especially for the smaller file size
Wyrmstooth is my go to, feels so well done like a proper DLC
Is it really dear?
I’ll probably try this on a future playthrough
I think you'll really like it
I noticed when I was smelting some ore, that Brimstone and Wrymstone was available to make... New gear I hope?
New gear with new Enchantments!
New shouts... new a lot of things!
The creator of the mod said that he was going to add wyrmstone and brimstone gear but left it out.
@@notimportant221 what? so the ore is useless???
Falskaar, large world space, okay story. Mods to expand Falskaar are showing up Bethesnet.
Falskaar is 100% going to be on my largest Skyrim order!
Could you have Falskaar and Wysmtooth together in one load order?
I do in my current order
@@Modswell Thats not the same order your dropped yesterday is it cause I dont see it in the list.
No, after I drop one I instantly move on to the next
The thumbnail looks great and nice new profile pic
Hey, glad you like them!
@@Modswell By the way, what 2-handed sword are you using in this video?
Just a Steel Greatsword from NordWarUA's Vanilla Armor Replacer
Is there a way to fix my issue with the mod: I traveled to the island and Luries did his dialogue but no one’s moving anywhere afterwards, they all are just standing at the docks not doing anything
Thanks for consistent content. Im very interested in your order that has different authors for the cities and villages.
You're welcome, I'm glad you like it, I'll be releasing a new order soon
Do u get new shouts
What mods do you use? I really like how your game looks, and just to be sure, you do play on xbox one right?
I play on Xb1 and Series X
I'll be releasing my order pretty soon but have a fair few out already :D it's a long list of things
Oh neat. Just the kind of thing I've been looking for. You can only play through AHO and Falskaar so many times after all
That's very true! Have you played Forgotten City yet?
@@Modswell oh yeah love that one. One of the best written mods ever
Excellent mod right
[Late] It was... _ok_ I guess, but I might be a bit bias, because I also have Legacy of the Dragonborn, Interesting NPCs, Immersive Citizens - AI Overhaul and BUVARP installed.
IC and AI? How come?
I've enjoyed it a few times, it's not massively repeatable but definitely worth a play through

It isn’t new unless you’re on console but excellent review and super fun add on
Yeah PC have had it for a while! Lucky lucky!
I'm glad you liked the review, a really fantastic addition... itll be staying with me for some time
What’s the name of the mod you use to change the camera in battle?
Dynamic Camera
Hey Modswell, is there unique looking weapons and armors to collect in this mod?
Great video!!!
There are a few Unique effects for armor and weapons but no new looking things
Theres also new shouts
@@Modswell Thanks a lot!
Cool!
What animation mods do you use? And the mods that give you all those things on your back.

@@Modswell oh ok thx !
How can he carry sword and bow together? Pls help
What do you mean?
Just got what you mean, Visible Favorited Gear
@@Modswell thx
What do you do if the messenger won’t come find you?
Go to a town after finishing the way of the voice, they should be there... did you start it on a new game?
@@Modswell do you have to start a new game to play this mod
Yes, anything like this that has ne events/scripts you'll want to start a new game for
can i install this mid game
solsthium????
Is your character on Xbox???? Do you have the Load order??
It is on XBOX, for this order you'll need to check the next load order video, the order will be in the description
@@Modswell your game looks awesome.. can't wait to implement it.

This Mod reminds me a lot of it for some reason.
I dont remember that funnily enough but I can see why youd connect the dots
For new lands I suggest Moonpath to Elyswhere, Sorcery, Jurgolohm, Northern Encounters, Sea of Ghost, Hammets Dungeon Pack, Skyrim Underground.
I'm using moonpath and have nearly a GB of space for more
@@Modswell it's also important to slim down the load orders into the essentials for better gb space.
Luckily new lands are pretty safe as long as the scripting from Skyrim to there is done well

What are your thoughts on mods like Vigilant and Forgotten City?
I've not played Vigilant but Forgotten City I did a video on, I think it's fantastic
2 weeks late but to be honest, Wyrmstooth’s plot was literally: “hey, I need you to go kill this dragon because it’s a pain in the ass.” The trailer talked about the resurrection of the dragon cult and “the return of the ways of old” or whatever and hearing that you’d think about a possible second dragon war.

Gonna have to disagree with it being better than solstheim. At least story wise, and lore wise for that matter. However I do agree it has the most interesting gameplay twists.

Does this mod have children in it?
Not that I ever came across but after everything is fixed at the end there may be a few, I just cant recall seeing any
Repeat after me "Solst-hime" you don't pronounce it how it's spelt bud!
That doesn't look right either bud
@@Modswell I mean if every npc in the game pronounces it “Solst-hime” then that’s probably how it it’s pronounced
