Voice actor and now Co-Writer of Val Serano here. Your coverage of us in the hall of fame for this video means more than I can put to words. And we've only been out a year.

Report Talos Shrines to the Thalmor author here! Thanks for the shoutout--I hope that the dozen people who enjoy playing as a Thalmor bootlicker have a good time :)
your taste in Skyrim mods never disappoints. Haven't mod Skyrim in years and I still can't believe what modders are doing is just incredible amount of work from all departments. Favorite game of the year for me is Modded Skyrim, I call it MyRim now :)
Solus here, thanks so much for featuring my mod :) Genuinely heartwarming any time I see something I made with my own hands being enjoyed by other people
i've watched a lot of Skyrim mod content, and your mod review are IMO the Best ! The work you do, the simple fact that you tell if the Mod is ESP or ESL, the review of each mod themself, Well, Thank you ! And enjoy your last days of 2024 !
I think we need a playthrough from you of the Kinggath Creations Bard's College mod. I mean, I want proof you graduated :) Though, honestly, a Gopher-style playthrough with your voice as a bard would be kinda cool.
**Tolfdir:** Knowledge is power!! **Dragonborn:** *Installs powerofthree's Grab and Throw and starts Yeeting books at Bandits* The mods this year were fantastic. I do believe this also means I've been here over a year now on and off with many more developments than I saw coming such as Elly, my daughter. I was especially a fan of the enhanced Dragon Lairs and Strongholds. Always looking for bigger and better locations to go and explore. Was great to see you again Bard, Happy Christmas and Happy new year, I'll see you later
You're my favorite skyrim channel and I'm so glad I discovered you after getting back into the game. Thanks for all the work that you do and how in-depth you showcase all of the mods ❤ and happy holidays ofc!
Thank you for this great roundup of fantastic mods. 2024 was a wonderful year for mods. And thank you for this channel. I've enjoyed it a lot. You're one of my absolute favorite RUclips reviewers and I'm always thrilled to see a new video release for you. They're instant watches for me, no matter how long they are.
I've taken a break from modding this year (mostly due to computer hassles). Even though I've been tracking and watching the Nexus, seeing all these wonderful mods showcased really makes me want to get modding, er, playing again! As always, your showcases are beautiful and informative, and make me want to continue modding. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you!
Community Shaders is so transformative. It will go excellently with some of these. This is the best 2024 list anywhere on the internet. Merry Christmas, BCG.
@@BardsCollegeGraduateif you do, I recommend using po3’s Light Placer and Bottle’s Placed Light mod. Another modder called Cyberumor also put out a lighting mod using Light Placer. Looks like he/she will collab with the CS team. :)
I love the Report Talos Shrines mod! It sounds evil, but I usually play very selfish greedy characters (don’t judge me!) so I love having more evil roleplay options that aren’t just killing people or refusing to help them.
Ryna! Your channel has been changing the way I see Skyrim and the way I mod this marvelous game! Your job here is amazing! I'm always looking forward your next video! Thank you! Merry Christmas!
Thank you, since i first found you this year i havewatched almost everty Video that cam up and i did fount ALOT of mod through ur videos that i installed. I wish u Nice Christmas Days and a Happy New Year Afterwards
I've recently - finally - gotten a massive upgrade for my pc and I've been on the lookout for what sort of mods I should go for, and I'm delighted that you've posted this! I'll be going through this list - and some of your other videos - and seeing which ones suit me best :)
NICE 🎉🎉35 Min of Asmr Skyrim modding is a cool Christmas present, also is the evg slope animation doing his thing also in first person or using would be useless??
Happy holidays! Just wanted to say I found your channel a quite ago, most of my mods are from your recommendations, again happy holidays, best wishes ✨
Such a great compilation, it probably took you lot of time. Thanks for such dedication and passion, I'm glad your channel keep growing. Can you tell me what outfit wear your Aela at 32:50 ?
Thank you so much for your kind words :') I think Aela is wearing something that a mod called Sentinel gave her, but can't check the armor's name right now, but I hope that helps!
Another very lovely video, BCG! Your videos are always welcome in my home. Wishing you a very happy Christmas and a hopeful New Year way up there in magical Finland!
I feel like Bards College Graduate should have a Skyrim News Paper Mod, where the courier delivers it and then it starts speaking in her voice like a Skyrim Daily Prophet (Harry Potter).
Can you tell us what npcs overhaul you use in your game? everybody looks amazingly good. Thanks for the long video so well done and your dedication to Skyrim and us, the players of this eternal game. Subscribed and liked.
First of all, thank you, and welcome aboard! For male characters I'm using Pandorable's Males and Men of Skyrim Refined, for female characters Dibella's Blessing!
@@BardsCollegeGraduate Thanks for the fast reply. I loved the NPCs and the way you describe everything in your videos. As many commented you voice is also beautiful...would be nice to have you "voicing" a follower. Thanks for all the good work.
Honestly, I’d rather have an immersive combination of the ESO/oblivion mini game combined with the default Skyrim one (which is also my favorite) so that it’s more like picking an actual lock. You’d have to push the pins down just right and then twist the lock to keep them in place, as if you’re actually picking a lock. I’d love to see something like that. If any modders are reading this, please make it happen.
i would really like amod when u sleep u got random dreams like fighting an unlimited number of enemies till you re defeated and you wake up or running through a timed infinte hall or having something like skyrim on skooma would be so good
I always love your mods. One issue I'm having, though, is any animation mods I download, whether they're recommended by your channel of not, don't... work. They either crash, cause NPCs to glitch, or just straight up don't work. Do you have any advice on how to fix this? Yes, I've downloaded things like Papyrus, skyrim script extender, etc.
This is my opinion, but with the mechanics of Sandbox when Idle , we can create a new mechanic where we can create many characters in a single save file, and just like GTA 5 we could switch between characters. Such a mod would be amazing. Just an idea.
BTW you should review "Skyrim's got talent- Improve as a bard". I'm currently doing a playthrough as a bard archer, J'onn-E Lyre (as in Johnny Guitar lol)
Can’t recommend LORKHAN enough. It’s a staple on my modlist, i can’t play without it. Also, the Atmoran battleaxe from the Ysmir armor set is OP as hell. Stagger’s opponents 100% of the time. I can barely level my heavy armor skill due to not getting hit much because of the stagger effect😂 A good problem to have i suppose
ok, its been a bit since I've modded this game, last time I did I used the nexus mod loader, and it kind of worked, but I've heard people so that other mod loaders work better. what kind of mod loader would both you guys would recommends.
Hello, I installed the "Animated Carriage" mod, and I have carts circulating on the roads, but without a driver... Am I the only one to encounter this bug? Thanks
0:18 Eww, spinning death. That is so 2011 and you need to mod that out of your Skyrim immediately. Jk, keep up the good work and look forward to modding in 2025.
Dang, i'm gonna need a need a new hard drive for these mods, does bard college graduate have a nexus mod collection for just graphics overhaul wabbajack is being a real pain so far.
Best channel for mod recommendation I get 90% of my shi from here
IKR, and Narvia too
For real - I appreciate getting mod recs from someone who isn't running some cringe anime/porn mods.
please someone needs to make an npc in skyrim that has your voice , your voice is so soothing
Have you used auri song of the green?
YES
😭💚
That's what I been telling her. I can listen to her argue all day hehe
Good point! Hahaha

Which version of cabbage is this? Looks so ethereal
A one I installed like a year ago and haven't updated, haha 😭😳
You and @GabrielaBlanco should do a collaboration I love your voices
Would love a third channel where y’all take turns making lore vids or something
Gabriela has such relaxing videos :')
I always love your mods. One issue I'm having, though, is any animation mods I download, whether they're recommended by your channel of not, don't... work. They either crash, cause NPCs to glitch, or just straight up don't work. Do you have any advice on how to fix this? Yes, I've downloaded things like Papyrus, skyrim script extender, etc.
Do you have Open Animation Replacer?
Do you use a custom edit of cabbage? If so, could you post it for download? Your game looks really good. Are you using reshade on top as well?
Just an older version of Cabbage, and just some minor tweaks, and rather not post it anywhere, sorry :( also no Reshade!
This is my opinion, but with the mechanics of Sandbox when Idle , we can create a new mechanic where we can create many characters in a single save file, and just like GTA 5 we could switch between characters. Such a mod would be amazing. Just an idea.
That would be crazzyyyyy! :D
@BardsCollegeGraduate bro once my exams are over I'm gonna learn to make mods just so I can make a mod like this... hopefully.
BTW you should review "Skyrim's got talent- Improve as a bard". I'm currently doing a playthrough as a bard archer, J'onn-E Lyre (as in Johnny Guitar lol)
What is the armor mod your character often wears? The green tunic one?
It's Traveler's Armor Pack!
Do you know what mod your characters hair is from? I love the haircut that you gave her.
KS Hairdos! :)
It's like Spotify wrapped but for skyrim mōds
Hahaha, spot on!
what kind of mod for effert when resurrecting NPCs?
What's the name of the song at 27:55?
That would be Autumn Forest by Adrian Von Ziegler!
My reinstall is going to look great!
I think so too >:)
Hey Bard, have you played any SkyrimVR?
I have, indeed! But not much, as I'm waiting for Index 2 and building a new rig and then I just might go crazy with it.
@BardsCollegeGraduate
That's awesome! I eagerly await your content for the VR version. It's the only way I can play.
Can’t recommend LORKHAN enough. It’s a staple on my modlist, i can’t play without it. Also, the Atmoran battleaxe from the Ysmir armor set is OP as hell. Stagger’s opponents 100% of the time. I can barely level my heavy armor skill due to not getting hit much because of the stagger effect😂 A good problem to have i suppose
I was really into LORKHAN - really made me stop and see the world of Skyrim in a new light - can't wait to play more with it!
