วีดีโอ

I have a 1650 super and a Ryzen 5 1600 my gpu usage was always around 45 percent guess the cpu is the problem.

You forgot about modders 'writting' dialogue.

We don't tell people to skimp on cpu. We understand bottlenecks. It depends on your budget and your wants but we would never say to purposefully skimp on cpu

Is there a way to turn lorerim back into vanilla, visual and atmospheric wise?

Im running on a 3060 and it runs fine for me even with enb 🤷‍♂️

I'm planning to install ngvo but i'm curious. its possible to install the mods on MO2 ? cuz i wanna add some mods for armours and followers

What do the two percentages under the CPU represent? Also, I'm very confused at 8:31. You say that the GPU is waiting on the CPU, but the overall CPU usage is at 47%. Is the main thread on which Skyrim is running hammered at 100% although it is not shown? Or is there another component bottlenecking the CPU and GPU?

For anyone wondering, Nordic Souls is a Wabbajack install of 1300+ mods, that changes everything from combat to quests, while maintaining a vanilla experience. Means most everything is either vanilla enhanced, or brand new very high quality content intended to fit with the original theme and feel of skyrim. Alot of modlists are very different from base game skyrim, but this one really nails what skyrim would be like if it got a 2024 remake. Also this is a terrible comparison video. Nordic Souls is actually drop dead gorgeous for what its system specs demand, far and away better than what vanilla could ever run on Ultra. I dunno if you lost alot in compression, or if your FPS drops are impacting the recording, but trust me guys, Nordic Souls is absolutely stunning.

I have my own modlist but I like how Apostasy looks, and it seems to use less mods at that too. Quality over quantity. Btw having your FPS on screen would have made this comparison 10x more useful.

Probably my fav Home, may i ask what enb are you using?? Ty

Can you do a video on the winds of the north modlist? It has a vanilla plus aesthetic and is very performance friendly.

please do living skyrim 4 with halls of sovngarde

80% of the video the vanilla side looks better. The color grading and vegetation makes way more sense. Snowy areas look a bit nicer in the mod, but otherwise its too vibrant for the theme.

So why is this better?

Wrong, wrong, WRONG! there are MULTIPULE ISSUES HERE! #1- Your CPU has low CACHE if you used a Ryzen 5 3600 ya wouldn't have this problem, also the "CALLS" thats not a Direct X 11 Problem.... it's a Resizable BAR Problem! YOUR GPU is ONLY at around 50% usage! like im using a RTX 3060 lAPTOP WITH ONLY 6GB VRam! And 12 Extra GB of Mods! With a i5-10500h... A and i get 80-90 FPS on 1080p ULTRA EVERYTHING/ Max Draw dustance Everything! #2- you are using waaaaaay too much vram for 1080p makes me think u have 4k textures installed but are using them at 1080p completely defeating the purpose! Ya wont see a difference unless at 4k! you're just WASTING VRAM! like LOOK 50% gpu usage but 7.5 gb of vram used?!? Dafuq?!? that ain't right bud! #3- i also used to own a rtx 2080 super and a ryzen 5 3600 it out preformed yours by aleast DOUBLE the FPS! Your basically running 4k requirements or higher at 1080p without Resizable BAR and not enough CPU-CACHE for the TEXTURE MOD .... fix!!! is download a 1080p texture mod and turn on resizable bar or upgrade your cpu

no, its shit

what is the texture mod for this modpack?

lorerim has such weird saturation and bloominess. apostasy looks much better.

Lorerim better

You dont need to buy ANIVERSARY EDITION. With the last Version of Special Edition it will work.

This help nothing in decided which one you want. If you want graphic find the modlist that focus on graphic, Both Apostasy and LoreRim are focus one diffrent things in the game you should do your research and chose for yourselves. For LoreRim they focus on stability, Lore and immersion of the world. Instead of mordern gaming feel you will have many more animation mod and well picked mod included to make you feel like you are actually live in the game. For Apostasy they introduced Poise system and stance as a main engine of the game and focus more on the action aspect of the game. To sum up, graphic didnt help anything in deciding which one you would go for. Do your own research and find the one that fit for you.

Awesome modlist, tried it out the other day and love it. Visually stunning and includes most of my favourite mods. Just needs Seasons and less HUD clutter to make it perfect : -)

9:09 You were fearing the monster away.. Its not a mechanic they use to make combat more interesting its probbably your weapon enchant. Usually when i attack something in Lorerim they wont let me breathe and make me suffer I can see the blue tint around the monsters that appears when u fear someone.

What program is it you use that allows you to see the performance of your gpu/cpu? I wanna test this for myself. Having a ton of studders on my load order and I wanna know if its a vram problem or not

Personally LoreRim is always one of the most beautiful lists, but is a LOT for many systems to run. While Apostasy feels lighter in terms of graphics with few frame drops and a stronger emphasis on combat. If I’m in the mood for roleplaying a merchant build or something similar I’ll play LoreRim while if I’m wanting to play fast action combat I’ll stick with Apostasy.

This type of video is very helpful.. for making me even more confused about which one to go with

HELP, i just installed NGVO and it works but although SSE display tweaks is in the list, my ingame fps is locked at 60 and i really want to unlock it .. If i play vanilla skyrim, my frames are unlocked so it is just happening with the modlist. I bet another mod in NGVO is conflicting/overwriting/capping fps against SSE display tweaks. Do you have any idea of a fix for me ? Or what mod of NGVO is locking the frames and that i would need to edit or remove ? Also i installed the visual C++ thing .. i checked, it's not onedrive either. Thanks a lot for any help 🙏🙏

what armor is this? its beautiful

Lorerim is way clearer than apostasy

Good job, i for one find this video useful. Appreciate the effort

just installed lorerim on my xbox and I'm having a blast

I noticed in your showcase plus in me playing it is there any way to get rid of the random line glitching in the camera movements

both look great, but I feel like apostasy blends better

huh I'm playing using apostasy modlist but my riverwood doesn't look like that

Author of LoreRim here: I think this comparison would have made a lot more sense if you at least used the same ENB. Amon is one of the ENB options for LoreRim. It also looks like the shots were taken at different times of day. Also I think in general, modlist authors aren't here trying to have their lists compared. I don't personally care but these are free lists that we just make out of passion, not paid products. I say this because I've been yelled at by modlist authors for the same thing before when I wanted to make comparison videos. EDIT: It also looks like your ENB cache was bugged out or something when you recorded LoreRim. The water shouldn't look like it does in this video.

The two mod list; Apostasy and Lorerim are both very different not just in terms of the visual choices but in terms of the goals of the mod authors and what their visions are. I like the comparisons but people should also understand that at their core they have a different focus in terms of quests, lore, combat, etc. Both are great list and they both mod list authors deserve a great deal of thanks for producing such good products for the rest of us to enjoy for free.

Thanks, I don't think I've ever seen this kind of modlists comparison although it's very useful

Nice specific mod comparison you did it. Sub and like o:

LoreRim is better

So my opinions on these lists. Lorerim. I do like the textures for the buildings and how it fixes the biggest issues i have with graphic mods. No pitch black shadows, Hate going in to a cave or even stand under a roof and have my visibility reduced by 90%-100%. Not fun. The Ui is more to my liking, gives more info and is easier to see, With the exception of the compass, i like having it on the top. Apostasy. The darker green vegetations looks way better and the softer shadows that this mod has, does help making it better. The other shadows is the pitch black ones that i despite. I will say that the trees, grass and the water looks better with the Apostasy list, in Evergreen grove. However i do prefer the mountain/rock texture of Lorerim. It is brighter and makes it easier to see and it makes the details stand out. Can you tell that i dislike dark shadows ?

The lighting of Lorerim in this video looks broken and flat - unrealistic amount of ambient light and non-existent (?) skylighting. That's how (modded) SkyrimVR usually looks, but Flatrim should be able to do better. I can't imagine this is how the modlist looks OOTB on high settings...

thank a lot for the video!! can you do please nordic souls vs fahluaan

My lorerim looks much better. Whas this the ultra preset?

There was a time (like 5 years ago) where graphic enhancement mods for Skyrim hit a sweet spot. When the game looked like vanilla but just better. But now it's too overmodded. Skyrim does look like it had too much Botox and dinghy lips and atomic boobs. It's so weird. All those shaders and effects and 128k textures in combination with the low poly world and buildings and outdated NPCs and animations etc. looks so off and artifial and weird. It's disharmonic.

i just have to state this. my lorerim looks completely different to urs. why? i actually took a different ENB lol.... i dont know which options there are for apostasy, but lorerim has the option of Amon, Cabbage, Cabbage - biggie cut, dawnstar, dawnstar performance friendly, ebony, rudy, silent horizons 2 and pi cho. if i pick amon for a vid, or i pick rudy for a vid. IT WILL BE WAY DIFFERENT. so imo, for both vids, same ENB should be used .... because my lorerims water for example looks natural whilst urs looks like its toxic waste water lol

imo Apostasy definitely looks more realistic than Loreim which seems to have too bright unrealistic colors and shades

A LOD comparison would be nice

Slow down your comparions. Too many different shots, with different comparison crops.

would be nice if you described both and your experience in them. There's only so much we can see in a video compared to having hands on experience. What is the overall mood of each mod list?

I can’t even play a wabbajacklist without the game stuttering heavily. Like my fps is constantly skipping around but I can’t even walk in a normal area without the game jerking and stuttering. I don’t get why I can’t get the game to a stable place. I’ve done a lot of tweaking and no guides seem to work for me. 3060ti Ryzen 7 5800x 16ddr4 ram
