Many of your essentials have now become my essentials...I never knew about the venerable nordic temples mod! So glad I watch your channel.
“And makes every dungeon feel more rewarding”. Meridia’s beacon pops up 😅
Meredia Enjoyer : No Problem plenty of dead Imperial and stormcloaks corspe to pillage plus you get Dawnbreaker.
@@effishcent317 true, the amount of septims on the defiled corpses is handy
Actually what ive been waiting every playthrough. With reliquary of myth, dawnbreaker is insanely useful
There are some things that even though they're annoying it just wouldn't feel like Skyrim without.
@@frankyfirman Even Vanilla Dawnbreaker is pretty useful in Nordic Ruins and Dawnguard.
Decided to play Skyrim again and you are the best up and coming CC by far. Love your channel, and you've helped me rebuild my modlist.
It's really amazing to see how much this game has changed in almost every way since it's release, imagine if you could show this to the people that first played Oldrim back then, they'd be gobsmacked and then annoyed that they'd have to wait over 10 years for most of these mods to be available lol
Your modding videos have been essential for me in transforming skyrim into a next level experience that remains mostly faithful to the original. Thanks so much 🙏
Excellent! If I may, I'd like to mention the Security lock overhauls, SkyClimb, Comprehensive First Person overhaul, Northern Roads, and the Lux mods. All incredible.
All great mods! and I use them all too :)
CFPO is honestly a real good one, i always have it on since I found it
your channel is amazing 😭🙏 keep up the great work bro you are doing really good for giving out mods be it graphics, animation, or immersion mods
Thank you for putting this compilation together
Time to refresh and reset over 200 of my mods, love your videos! Keep it up man!
thank you so much for the video. im new to modding skyrim and this video helped make it alot more simple and less overwhelming.
Traverse the ulvenwald will always be my favorite tree mod, with wigfrids tree replacer close behind.
thank you so much. I have been trying to find best mods to play skyrim anew.
The last i played it was eons ago. It just warms my heart to see how much peopl still love it.
Solid selection! I'm especially looking forward to the master the summit, and forgotten magic mods 😄
Great way to kick off our 2024 Skyrim adventures. I really enjoyed the vid, and found some great new things to try.
Cheers dude, happy new year
@@SoftGamingOfficialI take back the 1st part of that comment. The changes to bethnet are to much. Far to much. I’m out. Leaving everything to do with skyrim. Which means channels like this. It’s been fun. Good luck, Soft.
Mat when I think I’m out, they pull me back in!
Wow, thanks for sharing! Can't wait to start modding!
i havent even finished the video yet, but i can tell by now this is my favorite mod list. downloaded all except the immersion so far (dont care much for those type mods, but still downloaded the line expansions) and im only up to the magic section! you and i must have similar taste lol so definitely got my sub
been playing skyrim since it came out and this moding stuff is beyond nutts but i freaking love it this is a great video and great collection of mods keep it upp.
I recently did a clean install of skyrim to the most recent update and wiped my entire modlist. I would love to see a video of stability and general core mods for this most recent (AND HOPEFULLY LAST) update :) - also, I'm pairing your landscapes section with CleverCharff's AIO :D It's so pretty!
Amazing compilation, thank you so much!
thx , you always keep my game fresh 💚
Thank you for the video, I’m on console but your video helps me to find hints and details I might not have tried r substitutes I can find on the Xbox. Cheers
This list is great, pretty much all you need to get Skyrim to feel like a more modern experience.
Yoo,great list ,loved it!!
Was totally worth waiting 2 months for and a sub for!!
There's a few things i expected but weren't there but I'll just add them on my own!!
Thanks again!!
Hey dude, happy new year :)
@@SoftGamingOfficial Thanks dude, Happy New year to you too!!
Hope your channel blows up this year, keep up the great content!!
Wow, all amazing mods, veeeery well done with this vid.
An exhaustive review right here!
Stay in the fight has been such a great mod for me. Changed how I play the whole game.
My pc can't run skyrim legendary edition without a return to windows every 15 minutes, you have no idea how frustrating it is to play on a xbox series with a very limited number of mods that cannot be as complexe and developped as the ones this channel presents ( in quite a masterful way by the way ). To put it shortly you're doing an amazing work, and this channel has become one of my favorite. Congrats !
Wow, this really looks next level
I just came to end with my current Skyrim playthroughs, going now over to Fallout 4.
I just know that in 3 or 4 months, you'll post about enough new mods to bring me once again back to Skyrim :D
Glad I stumbled across this vid, thanks
Hey man, thanks for this list, i see a lot of people using those thousands modslits, but sometimes it feels a bit too much, i feel like ur list trully abord the essentials to skyrim while leaving space for personal choices. Thanks so much for the video
Nice list!
Love your smoothcam preset
Idk if I would count some of these as "essential" like Experience for example. The way Skyrims leveling works is actually a lot more realistic; the act of turning in a quest doesn't make you better or stronger, it was the act of using your skills to overcome obstacles DURING the quest. Ask any master of their craft how they achieved mastery and they'll simply say "I did it, a lot". Vanilla has a lot of weaknesses but I don't think the leveling system is one of them.
Yeah Venerable Nordic Temples has been my go to for 3 years. Easily my favorite.
Thanks you!
very clear and useful
thanks to this vid i found a working dodge mod and my combat looks amazing!
Greetings mate!
Thanks for your creativity, very exciting =)
Should you expect to share a complete collection of your addons?
Great As always, a great presentation from you. I have now reached 1100 mods and am satisfied. I've only managed that because great streamers like you and others put so much effort into presenting and filtering the mods. Without you, I would be lost after the mod search. Thank you !
Bro how on earth is that possible? I feel like it's so complicated to get even like 20 mods working 😭
One mod that I saw you use that people might be interested in is "Violens". It allows you to remove the killcam/slow-motion associated with executions.. I think it's worth mentioning as without it Valhalla's execution system is pretty tedious.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Skyclimb! but I guess there's only so much time.
Loved the video!
skyclimb is still a bit broken after the recent update
@@Virus_In_Lullaby What's broken? it works fine for me..
Great mod selection, and video! I do have some concerns about compatibility on 1170. It seems certain mods, such as the frozen, electrocuted, combustion mod, are not updated to work with 1170. Do you know anything about this or is there a workaround you're using (even if just running an older version of Skyrim)?
Finding out that we have very similar rigs warranted a huge sigh of relief lol. Wasn't sure if my PC could handle the graphics overhaul.
great video! which skyrim version are you using?
C.O.I.N. works well with Thematic Loot, which changes the content of chests, depending On who owns it. So Falmer will own alchemical ingredients while mages will keep robes and soul gems.
Sounds cool
thx what a great job mate
Hi! I love the super long hair you have on your character - what particular mod do you use for this hair? thanks!
Fantastic videos as always. I've been wondering about this for a while. What mods do ppl use tht make enemy flinch when we hit them? Whenever i hit my opponent, they don't flinch at all and proceed to hit back. Answers will be greatly appreciated
I'm going to use this
We'll this is amazing a question how mush storage you need for your mod list
What Hair texture do you use?
I also use KS Hairdoes and mine aren't nearly as realistic looking as yours.
Anywho, thanks for making me mod my game yet again lol.
Is this only working with Skyrim SE or also with the AE?
Thanks for the vid!!
Nice one :) . May i ask how much FPS you are playing at with your modlist ? Seems to run well for only a 3070
outside is between 50-80 depending on location/density and interior is 80+
hey man need some help here. At 12:12 what mod have u used to make the UI, i.e. the HUD so clean looking? the lil white dot for the lock on feature looks neat ! btw supaa chill vid and lovely voice you've got. great work.
Hiya the lock comes from true directional movement and you can make it a dot in the MCM. But the main ui mods I use are Nordic ui and trueHUD
Is this for 1.6.1130? Because as of writing Third Party Selection is not compatible with the update. Did you do something specific to fix it?
Want to thank you very much for your Channel and the time you spend with creating such amazing and helpful videos! They really show your love for the game and your skill in making it be as amazing as possible with quality mods. And I appreciate that!
So I've resisted updating to the latest SE update 1.6.1130, I'm currently still on 1.6.640.0.8 So, I'm assuming that you've updated to the newest/current game version? Sorry, I looked but couldn't see that listed any place. I've thought about trying the "update/down-grading" method, but some seem to be having problems with that atm
So my question is, should I wait a bit/months? longer to wait and see if more mods are updated to the current version OR should I update to current and just be content to use what's available atm
Would love to know your thoughts and what it seems the majority of the modding community are doing. Seems like most current modders are updating their mods, but there's a handful of older mods that haven't been updated yet...and might never be (sadly)
So in closing, to run the mods that you're currently recommending and showcasing, would you suggest that I upgrade or wait a bit? Thank you! ~mKg~ 😎👍
Hey thanks! and don't upgrade...yet at least. I'm still on 1.5.97 but all these mods will work on your version aswell, they wont all work on 1.6.1130 however
@@SoftGamingOfficial Awesome! Thank you, much appreciated! Looking forward to your future content. 👍
You should make a collection download. I think a lot of people would download it
It looks awesome.
Is there possibility to make skyrim look more vibrant?
This graphic design looks a bit pale to me
But I remember in oldrim people had really strong colors
holy f.....I'm 49....and only played 1 game in last 20 years (elden ring).....I always wanted to play Skyrim but thought old - I didn't know mods had done such a good job. I will play Skyrim for the first time this year........so glad I found this video. Sub'd :)) I played Ering last year - was too fast, no story, a mess...but also fun. Skyrim is what I've always been looking for. :))
Can you create a link where we can download all your mods in one click on this video. Sometimes it's hard for me to download the other links due to server issues. Gladly appreciate it.
Can you by any chance post your character mods, i mean textures, face mods, body type, hair, etc. I recently came back from F4 and iam kinda lost. I remember some, like Race menu, Hipoly faces and so on, but not all.
What are all the movement/idle/combat animation mods you're using here? They look amazing together.
For example, your sprinting animation or your idle where you rub/rotate your shoulder - where are these from?
Sprinting and walking are the goetia animation mods and then smooth random idle animation for the idles
Do these mods only work with anniversary version or can I use the special edition from the game pass pc version?
cool mod showcase
Hi. Nice video. Is there something spezial in installing these things? Or just copying in to the data folder?
I would very much recommend using a mod manager
can you make a tutorial abou installation os this set? about load order etc..
never played and a big backlog, but here i am taking a look and wondering
Recently got into skyrim modding and found that nexus wont pick up my controller? It works when running skyrim from steam but not nexus? Any fixes?? (Dualshock 4 ) looked far and wide but cant seem to find any solution.
Which mod do you use to make the lighting look like that? at 11:13
I'm new to pc gaming and modding as well. How do I go about installing these and how can I change the load order?
I wish there was a mod that took all spells and put them in a book that showed on screen and allowed you to cast magic that way.
thanks
Is it safe to assume that following your mod list on google spreadsheet gets my game to look like/close to your video here? Or is it too outdated for that? I read the top saying you are working on an updated version, but I really want to try and make my game look like on the video shown here. I wonder if I can just take the current one as the lead example to start building up my modlist? Or would you recommend to wait for an updated list/the modpack you are working on?
They are somewhat similar but there are some big differences too. My old one is also messy, where the new one is more structured but you could still use it as a guide
Do you have a link for your entire mod list to copy with load order?
is this for anniv Ed or Special Ed?
*Better Third Person Selection* doesn't work on current AE build. Do you or does anyone know how to circumvent this without having to downgrade? *Thank you!*
I used all these mods and when I launch the game I get an error pop up, dll plugins require newer version but i have the newest version?
Pretty specific question. I know you use KS Hairdos mod for hair, but do you know what number-style your character's is?
This is hair is from the Valkyr Hairstyles mod
@@SoftGamingOfficial Thank you very much. Odd thing to ask I know but love the hair, what can i say.
What sprint and jump animations do you use? Those look great!
Sprint is dynamic sprint and jumping is smooth random jump animation
Hi there. Is nemesis included for animations?
I would like to ask what MOD is used for the character’s hairstyle at 0:28 in the video? I really like the elf-like back.
Can you share the MOD name of the character’s hairstyle?
Valkyr hairstyles
Holy shit, honed metal is back??? i remember it being gone for awhile
Your tundra texture looks amazing with Skoglendi grass mod.
Which one is it? I was unable to find anything that goes so well with Skoglendi grass besides the default option which is like 512x512 texture so It looks really poor.
It's fantasia, just make sure to load fantasia after skoglendi
what is dmco? i'm not sure how to find any of the 3 dodge mods mentioned in the description
most of the textures in my game are yellow? i used pretty much every mod from this list and idk what to do
I never got ied to work it always moved my sword from my back to default (which was left hip) whenever I’d equip it anyone know how to fix that?
Does anyone know why lux is not working with immersive college of wimterhold he makes the npc look black
Great video! But what's that hair mod u use? It looks so great with physics
It's called valkyr hairstyles
@@SoftGamingOfficialthanks!
Which outfit are you using in this video? Love your content btw :D
Spellknight armor
master the summit no longer supported, is it realy safe to use? i love the concept but i fear make my game crash,..
What mods do you use for face and that beautiful hair?
Hi! What is the armor that you're using?
I can't find it and it's really cool.
Thanks!
Hi it's the spell knight armor from the CC content
1:39 Hey dude, do you use an ENB with the Fantasia Landscapes or is what you show in the video purely that mod on its own?
I use an enb called NAT.ENB 3
@@SoftGamingOfficial Ah awesome thanks! I hope its available for xbox
saw you using a spear on your video. What mod are you using to insert those, and how hard is it to install? From the few that I've seen, I couldn't find a comprehensive guide to install spear or katana style weapons to my skyrim mod list, hence why I havent tried them yet. Something about having to configure the files of certain weapons manually or something.
I don't use spears, maybe it's the twinblade? Which is just the twinblade mod and animations for MCO
@@SoftGamingOfficial ooohhhh that might be it, sorry about that. I'll try to look into it, twinblade mod and animation for MCO...
I think I got that confused with the ADXP I MCO ER Spear I saw and was considering trying awhile back.
Thanks anyway!
XD is it possible for you to make a download of ya mods so we can just drag in out files. like can we have your vortex / Mo2 files for us to use your mod pack. would love that... tbh i just got into skyrim after playing it on vr. and i am enjoying it, but making my own mod pack is annoying and confusing
But does valhalla combat work? From what I can read on the nexus it is in need of an update.. :/
the skyshard mod is a cool one for eso players
I downloaded forgotten magic redone SE and my mcm menu is a fucked up like i don't get the menu rioght it's like it can't show it properly intsead i got it like it's directly part of the code that shows, anyone know how to fix this issu ?? ty
I'm new to applying mods or getting them to work, I have vortex and all these mods installed, but cannot for the life of me get them to work on my game. Anyone have any idea how to help me?
I can use Fantasia Landscape with Seasons Of Skyrim?
