Ah finally. It has taken only 11 years for me to find a modded Skyrim video that lists all the mods, and with links to each one, doesn’t bombard me with ads, doesn’t spend the first 5 minutes telling me to subscribe after showing me the sponsor, isn’t clickbait, with an over-the-top ENB with so much vibrancy that you’d think the game was directed by Disney.
Bless this one. Just came from another video that kept repeating "check mod list in description" and it was just a link to his patreon. Disgusting behavior
Modding Skyrim in bulk is probably one of the most frustrating experiences a person can go through, but when the process is done, the end result is so damn gorgeous.
@@vortquake5611 I suggest install MO2 (Mod Organizer 2) it's very simple and I think the most user friendly to understand modding and especially it has automatic download from Nexus
I love it when mod community is helping small Indie developers with their Indie titles to really bring out the potential in their games. Such a great community and the mods really do light a new light on this small and , otherwise, unknown title.
How dare you?! I have 3 hours of modded skyrim footage and all you do is complain about the fact that all of these 3 hours are just looking at my porcelain skin charachter's ass!?
I would love to mod my game like this to get me back into it but the sheer volume, mode collisions, diving into files and editing scripts etc, is waaaay too much hassle for me
As someone who has put 2000+ hours into this game, I can honestly say 30% of that time was spent mod testing for perfection. What I care about is the work you put into crash prevention, and mod integration. You are the real mvp. #IfYouKnowYouKnow
@@SupremeDouchebaggery Vortex has collections now where you just click install and it downloads however many mods are in there. I've had really good success with it so far; with 300+ mods on at least one of those.
2000+ is all? My brother, I’m a mere gamer and I’ve accumulated over 8000 hours over 4 different Platforms. You are a mere child compared to most Skyrim fans. Do not flaunt 2000 hours like it means jack shit😂 you’re about as rare as a whore at a gas station parking lot
Now THIS is a good video. No bullshit, straight to the point, actually caring for the viewer, high-quality explanation of each thing in the vid and beautifully edited! Thanks dude, and good job! We need more youtubers like you.
When I saw him standing before the Whiterun gate this weird nostalgic feel hit me right up. When I first started playing Skyrim, exploring this whole new world not knowing what around the next corner or what kind of people would await me in this next town/village that I'd enter, it just gave me this certain feel I cannot quite grasp. I feel like I was able to perceive it differently than I do today and just now I got a glimpse of that feel again which was quite bittersweet. If I ever get to play TES6 I dearly hope that I would feel like that again and if so I will cherish it as long as possible. I don't know if anyone knows what I'm talking about but one thing that I so loved in Skyrim was the silence.. You can just stand there in wood or on a mountain or a hill and just take in the environment. It felt so Immersive. Just standing there in the moonlight looking around. No sounds, just taking in the landscape and then one of the soundtracks set in so seamlessly and not at all intrusive. It was fun and it made me feel cozy and so comfortable. Exploring Skyrim on a Saturday night in the dark was like reading a good book infront of the fireplace.
I only started playing this game in 2021 and it's been one of my favorites ever since. Everything about the game, the loading screens, and the music makes it feel like this was supposed to be in my childhood but wasn't. It still made me feel like I was in simpler times either way but that's becuase weed enhances it lol.
@@RAPEDBYBLACKS I always lived close to forestsides and I enjoy winter and snow. These days I would take my dog for a walk around midnight everyday and just watch the stars.
Holy freak it look like a totally different game. Its like a remake. This is gold. Masterpiece work right here. Skyrim community is one of the most incredible ones.
You should look up Nolvus modpack ^^ is like an automated installed for almost 2000 mods (including most of the ones in here) which not only makes it look like a new game but also adds tons of new quests, npc's regions, weapons & armors to find. among many other things.
@@MegaDedys nolvus has 2 versions "ultra" which reccommends atleast a 3080ti (i run it on a 3060ti myself and it is fairly smooth with some exceptions) And redux version which runs on cards as low as a 1080ti
When i was a kid, i used to spend hours on Skyrim nexus scrolling through all the mods and then taking down notes of all the ones I thought would make Skyrim even better in my little Claire’s fuzzy rainbow journal. I love Skyrim, its been my favorite game since i was 9 years old, and i love mods and the creativity and passion that goes into adding something to the game to make you love it even more. I love this video, you did a amazing job, and i admire your dedication to it. Well done.
Same here I used to have skyrim on xbox and would scour the nexus and watch MxR mods, taking notes of what mods I would download once I could afford or be gifted a gaming PC by my parents 😂
@@porscheguy6972 god I miss MxR Mods, I did the same thing just watching him and ESO hoping that one day I could have a PC of my own and now that I do MxR Mods stopped uploading and ESO has mostly moved on from Skyrim and especially from mod playthroughs.
it's wild to me how young you must be and how it's been over a decade alrdy since skyrim released. i was 10 when oblivion released lmao and high school for skyrim. i also spend hours scrolling mods on the nexus lmao
I love how tired and worn out Jarl Balgruuf looks considering he'd be under INSANE stress due to the war and of course the dragons. However I really wish there was a mod that adds a unique crown for every Jarl and furthermore a mod that changes the AI of their court wizards so that they stand next to their jarls during the day like real advisors would. Lastly a mod that adds a unique jester and bard for every Jarl would be really awesome as well because they'd absolutely have such servants to provide entertainment for them to alleviate stress. Oh yeah I also remember there being a mod that changes the AI of the Jarl's guards so that the player can't unsheath their blade while in the Jarl's presence as it is considered a crime but unfortunately the mod is pretty buggy ugh. Obviously these are minor additions but combined add insane levels of immersion, I wish I was a mod author so that I could create such mods because at least to me the smaller details matter just as much as the big ones.
I completely agree with you, a mod that could add all that in one big overhaul would be awesome. Really solid ideas, especially the unique crowns. Hopefully a mod author reads your comment and feels inspired haha.
@@CredoRP I also forget about a mod which adds a unique throne to every Jarl as well cause it just further adds to the whole mystique of each kingdom and represents their great histories. Also I'm glad you agree cause at times due to my OCD I feel as if I'm just a little too obsessed with detail LOLXD!!.. Also FYI you should really look into getting the mod I think is called death sounds which enables enemies to let out a death rattle as they pass away which would pair perfectly with your combat mod set up. Honestly I've played with it and it definitely adds to the realism of combat..
@@CredoRP Sorry posting yet another comment but how dope would it be if Ulfric Stormcloak had a bear companion who protected him wherever he went and laid down next to him when he takes up his throne. I mean it always greatly bothered me that even though the Stormcloaks crest is that of a bear none of the Stormcloak forces actually employed them in battle or even use them as sacred animal protectors for royalty and high ranking generals. I can even imagine Stormcloaks and bears sharing a very special connection like the Starks do with dire wolves in game of thrones.
@@Doomseer Yo all good bro! I don't mind your comments. Discussions and ideas are a good thing! I'm all about the details when it comes to modding as well.
The fact that this game came out 11 years ago is unreal. Makes me kinda sad and nostalgic. I almost remember it like yesterday, my dad not letting me play a violent game on remembrance day lol
Skyrim is that game that even if you leave for quite some time, you eventually always return to. I think it's by far the single player game where i put most hours in.
back when i had it on hard disk when it first came out, i played it to the point where the disk holding slot itself cracked in several places lol it was still playable for a few more years lmao
This is an EXTREMELY well-done mod showcase video. The way you’ve edited and explained everything is very clear and understandable, and other people have commented as much, but you’ve really hit it out of the park with the presentation. Even in the combat section alone you got me interested in quite a few of the mods you have (not to mention that smooooth camera… no wonder you recommend it, it’s so nice)! You definitely have me looking to boot up Skyrim again for the first time in months, which I think means you’ve done the job you set out to do! 😆🖤
Really appreciate you taking the time to explain the mods in smaller chunks (and what they do generally), it’s very helpful and so much less overwhelming. When I look at some of these massive mod lists, my ADHD kicks in hard and I get so overwhelmed that I just give up on it haha.
Wow, a modded skyrim save that doesn't look like the defective child of the witcher and dark souls?? Now THAT'S impressive. Nice work with the modlist my guy.
@@conformistbastard9842 I agree with this. Doesn't look like Elder Scrolls anymore, looks like another CDPR game that they overhyped and released broken and featureless (which could be any of them).
I remember being a kid watching the reveal trailer for this game and thinking, "holy shit games these days are getting so realistic" and now seeing this 11 years later and games today are continuing to improve in graphics is crazy to see.
I rarely make comments on youtube videos, but I gotta say, you did an amazing job with the presentation. All "Skyrim with X mods" videos I've seen don't bother explaining which mod does what, they just give a mod list in the description, if that. You made a categorical breakdown, gave alternatives, and kept it simple all the while. I've ran heavy modded skyrim playthroughs, and I know how hard it is to keep it simple and understandable when recommending mods to someone else. Very good work, I wish I could give you more than one like
Thanks bro. I tried to make this video as comprehensive and simple as possible. Most mod videos I see are heavily edited to the point where it's distracting from what they're actually trying to show off. Doing it this way just felt right.
I usually hate how heavily modded skyrim looks and feels but this looks incredibly smooth and well-integrated. The gameplay show here made me want to finally play it.
I recommend NordwarUA's unique guard armor mod, a mod that makes every region taste quite different. I recommend his other mods, both for Stormcloaks and Imperials equipment
@Jeremy G Aw man, welcome! I just bought Skyrim for PC after having owned it for PS3, Xbox One, and Switch, specifically because it occurred to me that I'd only ever used the Xbox mods and that when it was first introduced. I've been modding Morrowind for almost 2 decades and it remains my favorite Elder Scrolls game and modding community, and have modded setups of Daggerfall, Oblivion, Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 4, and a few others. It elevates gaming to a whole new level and becomes for many more engaging than actually playing the vanilla games. I highly recommend learning how to mod properly by using Mod Organizer 2 as your frontend and interface; it has a significantly higher learning curve than most others but it implements a virtual folders system while also enabling you to save multiple modded instances of the same game. The virtual folders are obviously distinct from your Skyrim installation, so that you are never actually overwriting or removing anything of the base game, but rather when launching the game from within MO2 you are overriding them. This way, should you make any mistakes, you don't have to painstakingly narrow down your errors or worse, uninstall and reinstall the game. You simply activate or deactivate mods from within MO2 to troubleshoot. It works with mod packages and those with installation executables, can host third party programs such as those that auto-sort your mod load order or run script extenders, can install a mod that reactivates Steam achievements (which running any mod will deactivate otherwise) and launch the game through Steam using the script extender. It also has a highly customizable interface which makes large load orders easy to categorize, shows right away any potential or actual mod conflicts, shows which mods are being partially or entirely overwritten by others, etc. It is a fantastic tool that prevents profound headaches that I learned about the hard way, and is relatively user friendly once you begin to comprehend what you're doing. Just cannot recommend it highly enough. Take care and good luck!
This is really beautiful, but it does add to my appreciation of art style. I can recognize a Skyrim screenshot just because of the way the trees and rocks look next to a cliff, and I get a nice warm nostalgia feeling. Makes me wonder how looking back on modern games that focus on realism will feel. Hopefully there’ll always be a touch of uniqueness that brings people that feeling of appreciating the past.
I think this modded version is beautiful but I agree, I'd prefer the original. The same can be said for combat overhauls and other gameplay mods, it can kinda feel like a different game. Can't argue that this collection of mods is beautiful and it certainly has its audience though
Watching all this, living vicariously through you. Wishing I had a computer that wouldn’t immediately shit its pants if installing even Half these mods. 🖥 🔥 🤯
@@TheSinsOfAvarice97 The max I can run without the game instantly crash to desktop is around 20 depending on how big the mods are, it’s sad. I want my Skyrim to look like this😢
@@WordOfYah I’m telling the truth, this shit is trash. Doesn’t look or act like Skyrim. Might as well make a new game from scratch and it wouldn’t even get close to vanilla Skyrim.
This is a whole new game. I played with a lot of mods troughtout the years but this is the first time it actually looks completly different, ofc in a positive way. Great video man!
Your mods you talked about have been a very big help. I didn't think there was anything better than the Skyland AIO for example. Although not everything was found or worked (some of the Combat Mods like Valhalla, TrueDirection & Precision came up with an error about missing a .dll or an update), but a good majority got loaded no problem. Once again, I thank you for the in depth breakdown of all the mods in your video!
I have never played skyrim in my life but this video came in my recommended ,and out of all the games I've played and videos I've seen of mod showcases, this has got to be THE best one yet. I loved all of your commentary and insight into the mods, it was so well put together, the showcase was so well done. There were points in the video were you weren't saying anything cause I imagine there wasn't anything to be said but I was lowkey missing your commentary lol. Such a good video!
This is your queue to play it. Trust me completely worth it been playing it since 2011 with thousands of hours, yet I still come back. I’ve already sunk another 100 more hours in with my current play through, and I’m still finding new things to discover or learn. The lore is amazing and very immersive as well. Although with it being an 11 year old game the bugs are sometimes annoying, but what bugs annoy make up for it with the bugs that make the game that much more enjoyable. 10/10 must play game I could never recommend it enough. Side note: the mod community is completely insane as you can see from this video and this video doesn’t even scratch the beginning of all the stuff people make.
Once you play it; you'll never be the same (and I mean that). If you choose to, make sure it's on a weekend or have the entire week off. It will very quickly become a religion. Those of use that played it as teenagers treat it as such. Skyrim is the definition of a life that you remember, but didn't actually (physically live). I'm not joking! I literally stay in tip top shape, drink mead out of an ale horn, and eat meat with carrots and mushrooms. Not to mention write by candlelight and meditate on my patio when it's 17F. Skyrim is a freaking religion bro.
Usually videos like these are very basic and don't really impact much. Yours on the other hand I think will get lots of people into modding, cause of how detailed it is and high quality. It's obvious you're an active member of the community rather then some guy you pulled together a bunch of 5 year old graphics mods. Thanks for sharing the hobby!
My favorite part of this entire mod is that the dragons talk more. The lore tells us they are sentient literally to the point they enslaved other races before, the mod makes them feel a lot more "actually sentient" and not just dumb flying lizards.
I know this is asking alot, but if you were to make a tutorial on setting up your exact mod setup I'd watch it, my mod list never usually goes much higher than probably 10-15 mods so something this large-scale is a bit daunting, but this looks absolutely perfect
I love how the outside looks during the day, it feels great, not a fan of the dungeons and nighttime though, i think it takes away from the enchanting feel they had originally, but my god, that rain was just jawdropping, so good
I really love the subtitles and how you walk us through all the mods you use. Also im surprised that a 3060ti can run this well with the mods. Great video 👍
@@alexcia3221 The Gpu that I use for modding is a potato 1050ti XD so seeing how other cards handle stuff like this is pretty crazy for me. Honestly really underestimated the capabilities of the 3060ti
I thought the same! I’ve got a 3070 but I’ve been waiting for the rest of my parts to come in, they’re all here tomorrow, I’m so excited to get back into Skyrim with mods!
@@brandonuzumaki At least with Skyrim, us console peasants can mod the game in peace and get a taste of all the fun. With GTA V, we're stuck with the same almost decade-old story and ridiculous OTT online aspect, with absolutely nothing to spruce it up.
This just came up in my feed and after atching it, ive come to two decisions; One being, i need to get back into Skyrim And two, this is one of if not the best showcase for modded Skyrim ive seen. Excellent job mate. Im thoroughly impressed 👍
I find it idiotic when people get mad at games for not always looking realistic, but games like fantasy that try to sell a world to you should aim to flesh out the details. Make it like a real livable environment (or not, wasteland). All in all, this is amazing; beautiful work! 🙌
u find idiotic when ppl get mad at not realistic looking features but at the same time u want real livable enviroment, u hear yourself? its same thing, realism is realism the only difference is that u dont have knowledge about aspects u think are trivial, eg every city castle and stronghold in skyrim is unrelistic, almost all weapons look urealistic, and im talking about iron and steel etc. its all about immersion, the less u know the easier it is to achive, but it doesnt mean that its stupid to ask for or get mad if u see so many errors in design that are only ther bc producers didnt have enought knowledge to make them as they should be
@@PLTakeMe You are overcomplicating it. They are talking about when a game gets a bad rap for having "bad graphics". This used to be a big deal, the whole AAA industry were trying to make the most convincing simulation in a realistic style. It got really expensive to make games that way. In the 2000s, BotW would've been lampooned right away for its graphics just like Wind Waker was. I am going on this trip down memory lane because you sound like you are young and weren't around to see it. Nowadays graphics are more commonly stylized and not trying to have a realistic style. But Skyrim is a realistic style game, and TES as a series is one of the deepest simulations in a gaming, even giving NPCs routines to follow as the day/night cycle passes and letting you explore nearly any building. If you are worried that they are talking shit on the game designers, don't be. We should judge the game based on how well it achieves the things it set out to do. And it does them well. It's just hard not to want MORE and that's what the mods are doing! We can all agree Skyrim is an amazing immersive experience with or without mods.
@@noaag tbh ive never found anyone complaining about stylised graphic in games, it is stupid af so if that was what he was saying then i agree, but about vanilla skyrim being immersive? Yes if u are not into medieval, if u know anything about it form castles to weapons skyrim is stylised into goofy realism (as if u could say that fps game where u can destory tank by shooting it with gun is immersive)
@@PLTakeMe Yeah, a lot of realistic type stuff gets left by the wayside when you are trying to make a fun video game. In medieval times, many warriors would be using spears in battle. Spear is OP. No spears are in Skyrim probably because you would end up turtling in fights and it could get boring. Just like how everything is unnaturally close together in the world, but it feels great to explore. I like you described it with "goofy realism" because there is actually a genre called Magical Realism. That's when magic stuff happens in the ordinary world. Elder Scrolls is High Fantasy, though, because it is chock full of magic and fantastical supernatural stuff. So I think you're right that Skyrim more about "immersion" than "realism". Since you seem interested in medieval stuff, I think you should check out Kingdom Come: Deliverance. It's a REALISTIC medieval game with no magic or elves or any of that. It plays a lot like Skyrim but with some ineresting twists, like having 5 directions to attack from. You are just a peasant in 1400s Bohemia who gets his village burned by an evil warlord, so you become a knight and seek your revenge. It is fucking awesome!
@@noaag im not talking about magic or weapons types, im talking only about design of existing instances and weapons eg every weapon is too bulky, castles and city are made without any contept of how actual cities and strongholds looked like and why this way, and sometimes its imposible with our physics to build structures like ones in skyrim, and i would be ok with this IF they were made with magic, bo there is no clue or evidece that this was a case
No matter how much Skyrim is modded it is showing its 2011 age. The shadows, the lighting is all very ancient graphics. The only way to fix this is with a modern updated version of an Elderscrollls game that supports all of the newer graphics features since 2011.
This was a great and helpful video! I watched the whole thing and took notes! I'm uploading an episodic SE playthrough on Legendary difficulty on my channel right now with around 950 mods and even though our playthrough looks drastically different, I still found some mods from this video that I want to try to add. Thanks!
Out of countless skyrim modding videos this one has the sweet balance between usable modding and going over the top with reflective puddles. Saving for later.
Appears you've put in all the hard work sourcing and documenting the mods you are using. I might have to download Skyrim and install your list, and then play for 10 mins :D
I just got into modding recently After months of downloading, testing, erasing memory and starting over; I FINALLY have a stable run on my Xbox. It looks similar to this. This is exactly what I’d want my Skyrim to look like. Beautiful build.
Damn i guess that means i need to mod my Skyrim again, seriously though, your mod combinations are great. Ive been trying to find a good combat setup like this, tinkering with this that and the other. But your combat setup is damn near flawless. I wouldn't copy everything you did but your one of the few Skyrim modders that actually made it out of the modding phase, and actually has something presentable. lol
Can't tell you how much I appreciate this video! I've been watching Skyrim mods on RUclips for years, and this is easily my favorite. Mods typically look super out of place, graphics always look good but not at all in the spirit of the original game. This is an amazing collection of lore friendly, immersive mods!
I feel like the biggest improvement was the third person combat from these mods and the camera. It actually looks like a hella fun time to be a sword swinging hero. On vanilla I just play as a stealth archer because the melee doesn’t have anything besides drink and swing
The past couple years have been a revolution in animation and combat in Skyrim, DAR/MCO/ADXP etc have given modders the ability to make the combat actually pretty fun. Not always lore friendly, but fun, lol
@@Coconutszz eh, I like it all, but yes, I gravitate towards stealth archer because I like it. Skyrim is fantastic, and I enjoy it all, but melee is a lot of drink a swing, but idk, I think I may have underplayed how fun melee was in my orig comment
@@Coconutszz Enemies are damage sponges at high difficulties and pushovers at low difficulty. You take a step back to let them swing and miss, take a step forward and hit. Throw power attacks and/or shield bashes in to stun and get a couple hits, take a step back to let them swing and miss... you get the idea. Mages and archers you rush and use power attack to stop mages from casting in your face or simply switch to archery. Honestly stealth archery is more fun, at least I got some dopamine from those massive stealth crits.
The combat mods you have are so sick. Honestly, the combat in Bethesda games has always been a drawback for me, but seeing this game with the Valhalla style combat makes me want to come back.
@@ommsterlitz1805 I like vanilla combat where you just ignore being slashed with a dagger and demolish bandits with massive strikes from a greatsword. It isn't Skyrim otherwise.
@@tikunhiplaaja631 did you even play the game? just because right clicking and using potions is easier doesn't mean it is the best as it uses alot of potions and if you play alot you will find yourself running out of potions. Have you tried using the terrain in your advantage, running into big heavy attack to dodge them or draining enemies of their stamina or magicka with poisons or spells or shield bashing?
This is probably the best mod setup that I've ever seen. I also like the way you showcase some of the mods you are using, direct to the point. I want to try this soon. How about a Main Quest, Dragonborn and Dawnguard playthrough with this mod setup? 😁.
Yea. We're too lazy for all that stuff. One day we will try it out and be converted, but not today. Today we will keep watching all the fun that those on the other side of the fence are having...
i like how it's been 11 years, and it still remains a fact, that the best way to enjoy Skyrim is to first override 60 to 80% of Bethesdas wrok with mods

My thoughts exactly. What people don't see in these videos, is the amount of time spent trying to fix those crashes. You are the real MVP x2

When I saw him standing before the Whiterun gate this weird nostalgic feel hit me right up. When I first started playing Skyrim, exploring this whole new world not knowing what around the next corner or what kind of people would await me in this next town/village that I'd enter, it just gave me this certain feel I cannot quite grasp. I feel like I was able to perceive it differently than I do today and just now I got a glimpse of that feel again which was quite bittersweet. If I ever get to play TES6 I dearly hope that I would feel like that again and if so I will cherish it as long as possible.
I don't know if anyone knows what I'm talking about but one thing that I so loved in Skyrim was the silence.. You can just stand there in wood or on a mountain or a hill and just take in the environment. It felt so Immersive. Just standing there in the moonlight looking around. No sounds, just taking in the landscape and then one of the soundtracks set in so seamlessly and not at all intrusive. It was fun and it made me feel cozy and so comfortable. Exploring Skyrim on a Saturday night in the dark was like reading a good book infront of the fireplace.
Perfectly described.
I only started playing this game in 2021 and it's been one of my favorites ever since. Everything about the game, the loading screens, and the music makes it feel like this was supposed to be in my childhood but wasn't. It still made me feel like I was in simpler times either way but that's becuase weed enhances it lol.

I love how tired and worn out Jarl Balgruuf looks considering he'd be under INSANE stress due to the war and of course the dragons. However I really wish there was a mod that adds a unique crown for every Jarl and furthermore a mod that changes the AI of their court wizards so that they stand next to their jarls during the day like real advisors would. Lastly a mod that adds a unique jester and bard for every Jarl would be really awesome as well because they'd absolutely have such servants to provide entertainment for them to alleviate stress. Oh yeah I also remember there being a mod that changes the AI of the Jarl's guards so that the player can't unsheath their blade while in the Jarl's presence as it is considered a crime but unfortunately the mod is pretty buggy ugh. Obviously these are minor additions but combined add insane levels of immersion, I wish I was a mod author so that I could create such mods because at least to me the smaller details matter just as much as the big ones.
I completely agree with you, a mod that could add all that in one big overhaul would be awesome. Really solid ideas, especially the unique crowns. Hopefully a mod author reads your comment and feels inspired haha.
@@CredoRP I also forget about a mod which adds a unique throne to every Jarl as well cause it just further adds to the whole mystique of each kingdom and represents their great histories. Also I'm glad you agree cause at times due to my OCD I feel as if I'm just a little too obsessed with detail LOLXD!!.. Also FYI you should really look into getting the mod I think is called death sounds which enables enemies to let out a death rattle as they pass away which would pair perfectly with your combat mod set up. Honestly I've played with it and it definitely adds to the realism of combat..
@@CredoRP Sorry posting yet another comment but how dope would it be if Ulfric Stormcloak had a bear companion who protected him wherever he went and laid down next to him when he takes up his throne. I mean it always greatly bothered me that even though the Stormcloaks crest is that of a bear none of the Stormcloak forces actually employed them in battle or even use them as sacred animal protectors for royalty and high ranking generals. I can even imagine Stormcloaks and bears sharing a very special connection like the Starks do with dire wolves in game of thrones.

@@jeremyg5318 it takes time to mod a game but is really fun
@Jeremy G Aw man, welcome! I just bought Skyrim for PC after having owned it for PS3, Xbox One, and Switch, specifically because it occurred to me that I'd only ever used the Xbox mods and that when it was first introduced. I've been modding Morrowind for almost 2 decades and it remains my favorite Elder Scrolls game and modding community, and have modded setups of Daggerfall, Oblivion, Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 4, and a few others. It elevates gaming to a whole new level and becomes for many more engaging than actually playing the vanilla games. I highly recommend learning how to mod properly by using Mod Organizer 2 as your frontend and interface; it has a significantly higher learning curve than most others but it implements a virtual folders system while also enabling you to save multiple modded instances of the same game. The virtual folders are obviously distinct from your Skyrim installation, so that you are never actually overwriting or removing anything of the base game, but rather when launching the game from within MO2 you are overriding them. This way, should you make any mistakes, you don't have to painstakingly narrow down your errors or worse, uninstall and reinstall the game. You simply activate or deactivate mods from within MO2 to troubleshoot. It works with mod packages and those with installation executables, can host third party programs such as those that auto-sort your mod load order or run script extenders, can install a mod that reactivates Steam achievements (which running any mod will deactivate otherwise) and launch the game through Steam using the script extender. It also has a highly customizable interface which makes large load orders easy to categorize, shows right away any potential or actual mod conflicts, shows which mods are being partially or entirely overwritten by others, etc. It is a fantastic tool that prevents profound headaches that I learned about the hard way, and is relatively user friendly once you begin to comprehend what you're doing. Just cannot recommend it highly enough. Take care and good luck!
for having tried it. It's still wonky as hell. especially with some enemies. But it's still far better than the original gameplay
best mod video i've seen. shows demo, lists the mod used and a little tid-bit about it. nicely done!
This is really beautiful, but it does add to my appreciation of art style. I can recognize a Skyrim screenshot just because of the way the trees and rocks look next to a cliff, and I get a nice warm nostalgia feeling. Makes me wonder how looking back on modern games that focus on realism will feel. Hopefully there’ll always be a touch of uniqueness that brings people that feeling of appreciating the past.
I think this modded version is beautiful but I agree, I'd prefer the original. The same can be said for combat overhauls and other gameplay mods, it can kinda feel like a different game. Can't argue that this collection of mods is beautiful and it certainly has its audience though

Your mods you talked about have been a very big help. I didn't think there was anything better than the Skyland AIO for example. Although not everything was found or worked (some of the Combat Mods like Valhalla, TrueDirection & Precision came up with an error about missing a .dll or an update), but a good majority got loaded no problem. Once again, I thank you for the in depth breakdown of all the mods in your video!
I have never played skyrim in my life but this video came in my recommended ,and out of all the games I've played and videos I've seen of mod showcases, this has got to be THE best one yet. I loved all of your commentary and insight into the mods, it was so well put together, the showcase was so well done. There were points in the video were you weren't saying anything cause I imagine there wasn't anything to be said but I was lowkey missing your commentary lol. Such a good video!
This is your queue to play it. Trust me completely worth it been playing it since 2011 with thousands of hours, yet I still come back. I’ve already sunk another 100 more hours in with my current play through, and I’m still finding new things to discover or learn. The lore is amazing and very immersive as well. Although with it being an 11 year old game the bugs are sometimes annoying, but what bugs annoy make up for it with the bugs that make the game that much more enjoyable. 10/10 must play game I could never recommend it enough. Side note: the mod community is completely insane as you can see from this video and this video doesn’t even scratch the beginning of all the stuff people make.

Once you play it; you'll never be the same (and I mean that).
If you choose to, make sure it's on a weekend or have the entire week off. It will very quickly become a religion.

Usually videos like these are very basic and don't really impact much. Yours on the other hand I think will get lots of people into modding, cause of how detailed it is and high quality. It's obvious you're an active member of the community rather then some guy you pulled together a bunch of 5 year old graphics mods. Thanks for sharing the hobby!
I have to say, I had a ton of hours in old school SKYRIM. Loved that game. This looks very amazing. Some real next level to an already awesome space.
My favorite part of this entire mod is that the dragons talk more. The lore tells us they are sentient literally to the point they enslaved other races before, the mod makes them feel a lot more "actually sentient" and not just dumb flying lizards.
I know this is asking alot, but if you were to make a tutorial on setting up your exact mod setup I'd watch it, my mod list never usually goes much higher than probably 10-15 mods so something this large-scale is a bit daunting, but this looks absolutely perfect
I love how the outside looks during the day, it feels great, not a fan of the dungeons and nighttime though, i think it takes away from the enchanting feel they had originally, but my god, that rain was just jawdropping, so good

Excellent job mate. Im thoroughly impressed 👍
Probably not your thing, but man, a playthrough of this would be the sweetest feast of eye candy.
I wonder if the game is stable enough to make this
I find it idiotic when people get mad at games for not always looking realistic, but games like fantasy that try to sell a world to you should aim to flesh out the details. Make it like a real livable environment (or not, wasteland). All in all, this is amazing; beautiful work! 🙌
u find idiotic when ppl get mad at not realistic looking features but at the same time u want real livable enviroment, u hear yourself? its same thing, realism is realism the only difference is that u dont have knowledge about aspects u think are trivial, eg every city castle and stronghold in skyrim is unrelistic, almost all weapons look urealistic, and im talking about iron and steel etc. its all about immersion, the less u know the easier it is to achive, but it doesnt mean that its stupid to ask for or get mad if u see so many errors in design that are only ther bc producers didnt have enought knowledge to make them as they should be
@@PLTakeMe You are overcomplicating it. They are talking about when a game gets a bad rap for having "bad graphics". This used to be a big deal, the whole AAA industry were trying to make the most convincing simulation in a realistic style. It got really expensive to make games that way. In the 2000s, BotW would've been lampooned right away for its graphics just like Wind Waker was. I am going on this trip down memory lane because you sound like you are young and weren't around to see it.
Nowadays graphics are more commonly stylized and not trying to have a realistic style. But Skyrim is a realistic style game, and TES as a series is one of the deepest simulations in a gaming, even giving NPCs routines to follow as the day/night cycle passes and letting you explore nearly any building. If you are worried that they are talking shit on the game designers, don't be. We should judge the game based on how well it achieves the things it set out to do. And it does them well. It's just hard not to want MORE and that's what the mods are doing!
We can all agree Skyrim is an amazing immersive experience with or without mods.
@@noaag tbh ive never found anyone complaining about stylised graphic in games, it is stupid af so if that was what he was saying then i agree, but about vanilla skyrim being immersive? Yes if u are not into medieval, if u know anything about it form castles to weapons skyrim is stylised into goofy realism (as if u could say that fps game where u can destory tank by shooting it with gun is immersive)
@@PLTakeMe Yeah, a lot of realistic type stuff gets left by the wayside when you are trying to make a fun video game. In medieval times, many warriors would be using spears in battle. Spear is OP. No spears are in Skyrim probably because you would end up turtling in fights and it could get boring. Just like how everything is unnaturally close together in the world, but it feels great to explore.
I like you described it with "goofy realism" because there is actually a genre called Magical Realism. That's when magic stuff happens in the ordinary world. Elder Scrolls is High Fantasy, though, because it is chock full of magic and fantastical supernatural stuff. So I think you're right that Skyrim more about "immersion" than "realism".
Since you seem interested in medieval stuff, I think you should check out Kingdom Come: Deliverance. It's a REALISTIC medieval game with no magic or elves or any of that. It plays a lot like Skyrim but with some ineresting twists, like having 5 directions to attack from. You are just a peasant in 1400s Bohemia who gets his village burned by an evil warlord, so you become a knight and seek your revenge. It is fucking awesome!
@@noaag im not talking about magic or weapons types, im talking only about design of existing instances and weapons eg every weapon is too bulky, castles and city are made without any contept of how actual cities and strongholds looked like and why this way, and sometimes its imposible with our physics to build structures like ones in skyrim, and i would be ok with this IF they were made with magic, bo there is no clue or evidece that this was a case

Awesome video man. I like how you properly showcase the mods working. Looks amazing. Gameplay is great too.
No matter how much Skyrim is modded it is showing its 2011 age. The shadows, the lighting is all very ancient graphics. The only way to fix this is with a modern updated version of an Elderscrollls game that supports all of the newer graphics features since 2011.
This was a really well put together video, the captions detailing each mod as it appears is a fantastic touch. Great job 👍

I wouldn't copy everything you did but your one of the few Skyrim modders that actually made it out of the modding phase, and actually has something presentable. lol
are you ever truly out of the modding phase though? give him eleven more years and he will have another 50 mods loaded
I love how you modded the combat for skyrim! it's not like a clonky witcher 3 based combat, it's like the vanilla combat but better imo
Feels like it took a lot of inspiration from God of War 2018 which is cool
Can't tell you how much I appreciate this video!
I've been watching Skyrim mods on RUclips for years, and this is easily my favorite. Mods typically look super out of place, graphics always look good but not at all in the spirit of the original game.
This is an amazing collection of lore friendly, immersive mods!
from the thumbnail, I thought this is a parody of some kind. But hands up! Nice gameplay here. Cheeeers!
Fantastic I especially love the combat and animation mods and that part where killcam the dragon and fire was pretty sick
I feel like the biggest improvement was the third person combat from these mods and the camera. It actually looks like a hella fun time to be a sword swinging hero. On vanilla I just play as a stealth archer because the melee doesn’t have anything besides drink and swing
The past couple years have been a revolution in animation and combat in Skyrim, DAR/MCO/ADXP etc have given modders the ability to make the combat actually pretty fun. Not always lore friendly, but fun, lol
so instead of using the melee system that you say doesn't have much, you use the most boring, do nothing, class of the stealth archer
@@Coconutszz eh, I like it all, but yes, I gravitate towards stealth archer because I like it. Skyrim is fantastic, and I enjoy it all, but melee is a lot of drink a swing, but idk, I think I may have underplayed how fun melee was in my orig comment
@@Coconutszz Enemies are damage sponges at high difficulties and pushovers at low difficulty. You take a step back to let them swing and miss, take a step forward and hit. Throw power attacks and/or shield bashes in to stun and get a couple hits, take a step back to let them swing and miss... you get the idea. Mages and archers you rush and use power attack to stop mages from casting in your face or simply switch to archery.
Honestly stealth archery is more fun, at least I got some dopamine from those massive stealth crits.
looks like the jankiest shit ive ever seen but still more fun than whats in the base game
Now I want to see a full play through, this was so immersive
Wow! Your video inspires me to start my game again with your mod list - and a few of my favourites. Thank you so much.
Guard armour replacer is also a great mod! Gives each hold a personalised armour instead of just a reskin
The combat mods you have are so sick. Honestly, the combat in Bethesda games has always been a drawback for me, but seeing this game with the Valhalla style combat makes me want to come back.
Nah sorry it just make Skyrim look like one of these garbage free mmo truly not a fan of the mod he chose
@@ommsterlitz1805
Especially the dodging and lunging looking janky as hell
Just screams cheap garbage
@@mr.jamrob4505 Still better than spamming mouse 1 like in vanilla.
@@ommsterlitz1805 I like vanilla combat where you just ignore being slashed with a dagger and demolish bandits with massive strikes from a greatsword. It isn't Skyrim otherwise.
@@tikunhiplaaja631 did you even play the game?
just because right clicking and using potions is easier doesn't mean it is the best as it uses alot of potions and if you play alot you will find yourself running out of potions.
Have you tried using the terrain in your advantage, running into big heavy attack to dodge them or draining enemies of their stamina or magicka with poisons or spells or shield bashing?
This is probably the best mod setup that I've ever seen. I also like the way you showcase some of the mods you are using, direct to the point. I want to try this soon. How about a Main Quest, Dragonborn and Dawnguard playthrough with this mod setup? 😁.
7:40 "We Will Probably See more of these features in next Bethesda Game"
ooo that hurts bad.
That combat mod looks so good. So many combat mod I've seen that still give the clunky feelings. This one looks super smooth
Anyone else here who NEVER uses mods, but still finds is fascinating what people do with it?
Yea. We're too lazy for all that stuff. One day we will try it out and be converted, but not today. Today we will keep watching all the fun that those on the other side of the fence are having...
Hard to believe anyone played Skyrim without mods since 2015 or so, The game isnt that great.
@@n91312 It's the best selling single player game of all time and it did that without the mods.
I can't imagine playing the game without mods lol
@@ChrisChronos u mean playing on console? Like me… kinda sad
I love vibe of this game. Its been 10 years since I played for the first time. I think it is time to play it once again. Love the work you did here.
Gosh, I will never forget how much I absolutely love Skyrim to my core. This game is perfection.
i like how it's been 11 years, and it still remains a fact, that the best way to enjoy Skyrim is to first override 60 to 80% of Bethesdas wrok with mods
This is how I remembered Skyrim looking when I was a kid lol
The music score is what really got me in this game, the soundtrack is truly phenomenal
