@@ATOMIC_V155 I'm all about the Combined Arms approach. Mostly the Nord Warrior type, but it is good to soften up an opponent with a sneaky pre-assault artillery bombardment (sneak attack from bow). And what's better to use against a Frost Troll than a fire spell? :-)
Me every time I restart Skyrim: Definitely going to play as a warrior this time! 30 seconds into the first mission: Well guess I'll be playing as a stealth archer again!
I normally play as a melee warrior (for 6 years now) using two handed weapons, and more recently tried the stealth archer build. I must say the warrior takes a bit of work leveling and developing, but I still like it the best. Don't be impatient, the power of the warrior is worth the wait!

Rebuilding your mod list. I know how that feels. Had to stop using mods for a while because I couldn't figure out which one was making it crash, though it may have been because I had way too many armor crafting mods. I only recently have started playing with mods again, and here are some that made the cut. Alternate Start - Live Another Life. It's good for someone who doesn't want to go through the vanilla start over and over again because you don't feel like you can do something with a particular character. Cloaks and Capes. It just adds cloaks and capes to the game, but you probably know how much that adds to the look of the game. Royal Armory. I didn't do much with it before I went into mod hiatus, but it's really neat and mostly I like it because Commander Maro's sword has a good model and I can get an unenchanted version for my own use. Elaborate Textiles. While it's questionable how all these peasant can afford embroidery on their clothes, it also makes it look nicer. Relationship Dialogue Overhaul and Amazing Follower Tweaks. I got these together originally so it's hard to tell where one ends and another begins, but they're great. I'm someone who likes making custom followers, so this lets them have a bit more character, and let's me have a lot more following me around. I didn't get Amazing Follower Tweaks for a while since the image on Bethesda.net made me nervous, but that doesn't have any bearing on the actual mod. Wet and Cold and True Storms. That's another two mods I can't distinguish for similar reasons, but they're good for anyone who enjoys a good snowfall or rainstorm every once and a while. Smelting III. What can I say? I prefer the easier way to getting materials for crafting, and if you're crafting lots of iron daggers it means that you can just melt them down and get the same amount of iron continually, making leather and boredom your only concerns. More interesting than mining, I can tell you that. There are a few others I was thinking of adding from before the hiatus, and I have added quite a few others since. I just think these mods are worth mention, and they're all available on Bethesda.Net, which is an unfortunate requirement for me since the last time I tried getting a Nexus mod.
see, i love your channel cuz like, i dont play skyrim. i would absolutely love to but i cant afford the game nor a device to play it on. but i love watching this channel cuz even though im not playing, i still feel like i kind of am? in a way? like theres so many things that ive (obviously) neglected to notice the few times i was able to play and this lets me see the things i could do, had i the funds to play. it lets me plot and figure out my options and know what i want to say. also, the videos are very well laid out. introduces the game, lists whatever the video says its gonna list, then finishes. you ask people what they liked and what they think you should put in. its a very nice community and it gets right to the point, without the whole "before we start the video, go like us on facebook and blah blah blah" no, its straightforward. thank you.
Frozen electrocuted combustion - totally changes how I feel about dragon attacks. Once you see chared bones on the ground where a person once was, things get REAL
Right when you were starting to serially repeat facts, you start exploring new types of lists and I love it. I'd love to see you show off some of your favorite builds or something like that.
I have an Xbox one and I use DDC with wildcat KYE, survival mode and on legendary. It hads a maaaaaajor challenge to the game especially at a very low level lol. I have had some fantastic deaths and recordings from all of it. P.S. a shield always comes in handy at any point lol the book that you get for the imperial general in solitude, (mirror something) it teaches alot of importance on the use of a shield. But I digress, fantastic mod review Nate, there's a few I didn't know about with the magic so thank you for the new great info!
Arcanium surprised me. I figured after Lost Grimore and Apocalypse, minus a few smaller packages, there was almost nothing else new that could be done with Skyrim magic. And then this mod shows up and blows all those expectations out of the water again. And as a fan of stuff like Windstald Mine, the Noble House mod has me intrigued to be sure. Especially as I no longer use mods like Immersive Creatures and such, which often gave issues due to their new spawns in places like that. I know a specific bandit spawn that camps in a certain farm's forge for example...
"... I'm not calling Bethesda lazy." I will. The fact that no Bethesda game in existence has never been developed to completion and fixed and left to modders (hobbyists) to do the job of fixing their games is testament to the laziness and passing off responsibility to people who are not paid to do it is evidence to their laziness. There, I'm saying it loud and clear even though I've been playing Elderscrolls since the original- they are a bunch of *Lazy developers!*
You obviously don't know how game development works then. Game developers work sometimes a 100 hours a week when "crunch time" is declared which means that they have to do certain things in a certain amount of time because shareholders and the like want the game to come out at a specific time to make the most sales. Why do you think the hugest games all come out in October / November / December ? Because they sell the most during the juicy holiday season. If they had more time, they would have put more time into polishing it but they just didn't. To call the developers lazy is just disrespectful. Hate the shareholders and the editors who put so much constraints on good developers.
1: Double negative in grammar 2: Oblivion seemed pretty done to me, for the time it was released there isnt much i would ask to be improved upon if they remade it aside from graphics and a bit better AI.
@@Arkenway Bethesda makes their games with "Dirty Code". In layman's terms, in coding, when you make a mistake you can fix it by either rewriting the string of code- which is a little bit more time intensive (around 15 percent) but you get far less bugs in your code or you can do what Bethesda does; just write over your pre-existing code without code redundancies and logic errors... in other words "Dirty Coding". Now, you can either code well the first time you write code (also known as "Clean Coding) or you can be a lazy coder who only does the bare minimum- Bethesda's modus operandi. Now, you might ask, why is Bethesda's code so "dirty"? Well, the entire engine they use to build their games is over twenty years old- they bought it from Interplay when they bought Fallout and they've just been adding scraps and pieces here and there to make it functional... So essentially, Bethesda's game creation engine for their Elder Scroll and Fallout games is one big "Dirty Coding Engine" and these aren't developers who are interested in or maybe even capable of fixing their game's laughably bad coding. The fact that gamers like you contintue to make excuses for shoddy products like this is the reason why they continue to release bovine scatology like this. Thanks a lot- Bethesda needs the defense.
I've never heard of Build Your Noble House, but I've been a big fan of the Blackthorn mod for about a year now. Great buildable town with some of the same features. Just reliant on gold, so it lacks that sense of accomplishment.
@@Cause023 It's basically the only reason I go to that area. Definitely check it out. Once you get all of the shops set up, you get weekly income passively. I legit left for a couple in-game weeks and came back to about 6k gold per shop. Insane.
I remember when Destructible Display Cases showed up on Reddit, when the guy hadn't released it. He wanted to make it possible to melt the glass with flame spells but he never pulled it off if I recall.
Necro-commenting here, but yeah. Holy CTD batman! All of Locaster's mods cause loads of CTDs for me, even after cleaning them with Tes5edit, wyre bash and LOOT optimization with no other mods on a fresh install of Skyrim; just DLC and the official patches. He's also seemed to have disappeared so I can't run anything by him to see if I could find other fixes. Oh well, so goes it, shame though; they're beautiful mods.
@@Roy-kj8gf Oh man I remember downloading these mods. I'm glad I cut down my load order to less than 15 mods nowadays because otherwise Skyrim Together becomes unplayable. I still get the next-gen graphics and some dlc-size quest mods and I've got to say I don't miss the pain in the ass that was managing ~300 mod load orders at all
@@bea2307 CTD stands for crash to desktop. It is what happens when the game simply closes without an error, leaving you to stare at your desktop wondering what just happened.
MY FAV. 1: REVAK's RIFT 2: Unrestricted enchanting 3: Enhanced smithing 4: Ordinator 5: Merchant stand/merchant mod it puts a merchant stand in front of your owned houses in the holds that will allow you to sell items it is quest related so it takes time before you can sell everything prevent you from becoming too rich too quick. Of course you have to own a home and have a 1000 gold to buy it plus you could hire someone or have your own companion sit at the stand but someone must be there for your goods to be sold.
I'm definitely gonna try the Build your own noble house...sounds great! The others sound good too, except the Destructable Display Cases...not exactly enticing...for me anyway. Thanks Nate!
I like destructible display cases, but I find that lockpicking is one of those skills, like Speech that you level up overtime whether you try to or not.
@@allhandsondik7803 The thing is you don't have to build an expensive one; I built one for around the price of a console ($175 USD) and it runs my modded skyrim (with some tweaks) at 50-60 fps. Just research used components that have a high performance to price ratio.
The Arcanum mods looks awesome. I see they were inspired by other games too, the crystal giant or whatever it's called there is from Dark Souls, Tri-Attack is from Pokemon :D
"After seven years, the Skyrim modding community really knows what it's doing." Yes, but did you know that Bethesda's core development team that works on these games have been doing so for twenty years now? Think about that for a minute.
Well... yeah... It’s expected for game developers to know how to develop a game. It’s impressive on it’s own sure, but modders do it for free out of passion alone.
I love Dawnguard a lot other than the side quest in Fallout where you help this guy with his dad who has an ancient artifact on his head this is my favorite questline of all time but I just really wish there was more to do after you beat it like opening more of the castle building more upon it or just having more to do I love how they made the vampires
The only thing I dislike about Felburg is that the interior has several load doors to parts of the home, so I can't have one NPC sandbox the entire home, and it doesn't give you the "lived in" impression, the way the interior is decorated makes it look more like a museum. It could also use some more NPCs, or at least a schedule on the existing ones so they don't just work all the time, the tavern is always empty. Ah, and the alchemist vendor is broken, she isn't linked properly to her chest below the floor. But the sheer scale of the mod is why these things can be mentioned the first place, so all in all, it's the best estate mod I've ever seen, even if it could use some polish.
Nice list. If i ever decide to play Skyrim again i will definetly get back to this video. Building whole city instead just small homestead seems very interesting as i always look for a way to expand Hearthfire homesteads.
isnt he the weirdo who is obsessed with modding his game into killing the female inhabitants of Skyrim via freezing to death due to how little clothing he has them wear?
If you like "Build Your Own Noble House", I would definitely recommend "Blackthorn", a mod that allows you to build your own village with walls, defensive towers, multiple shops that generate income, a unique player home with tons of features, ect. And if that still isn't enough there's also "Winstad Mine" and "Heljarchen Farm", which are also among my favorite mods (though I dont think I need to explain those since I guess their names are... somewhat self explanatory. That, and they are both rather well known.)
I don't suppose you would do a mod review specifically for console users. I use PS4 and am looking for some mods that add story but all of the ones I see are just to make you op.
arcanum is nice. reasonably VR compatible as well. fec looks like it would adversely effect dead thrall production. adding more dragons seems like a legit plan so i'm trying that out too. thanks for the list. especially arcanum

Had to stop using mods for a while because I couldn't figure out which one was making it crash, though it may have been because I had way too many armor crafting mods. I only recently have started playing with mods again, and here are some that made the cut.
Alternate Start - Live Another Life. It's good for someone who doesn't want to go through the vanilla start over and over again because you don't feel like you can do something with a particular character.
Cloaks and Capes. It just adds cloaks and capes to the game, but you probably know how much that adds to the look of the game.
Royal Armory. I didn't do much with it before I went into mod hiatus, but it's really neat and mostly I like it because Commander Maro's sword has a good model and I can get an unenchanted version for my own use.
Elaborate Textiles. While it's questionable how all these peasant can afford embroidery on their clothes, it also makes it look nicer.
Relationship Dialogue Overhaul and Amazing Follower Tweaks. I got these together originally so it's hard to tell where one ends and another begins, but they're great. I'm someone who likes making custom followers, so this lets them have a bit more character, and let's me have a lot more following me around. I didn't get Amazing Follower Tweaks for a while since the image on Bethesda.net made me nervous, but that doesn't have any bearing on the actual mod.
Wet and Cold and True Storms. That's another two mods I can't distinguish for similar reasons, but they're good for anyone who enjoys a good snowfall or rainstorm every once and a while.
Smelting III. What can I say? I prefer the easier way to getting materials for crafting, and if you're crafting lots of iron daggers it means that you can just melt them down and get the same amount of iron continually, making leather and boredom your only concerns. More interesting than mining, I can tell you that.
There are a few others I was thinking of adding from before the hiatus, and I have added quite a few others since. I just think these mods are worth mention, and they're all available on Bethesda.Net, which is an unfortunate requirement for me since the last time I tried getting a Nexus mod.
Nate, since you said you rebuilt your load order from the ground up, any chance we can get a list? I really like the way your Tamriel looks. Thanks!
Dude your videos are addictive. If I start watching one I can't stop at least until I watch more 7 of them in a row.
Want to here a joke.
PS4 Skyrim SE Mods
*Cries in vanilla textures
MasterZhangCaosun You definitely have a major damn point ps4 mods suck.
hear*
Honest to God, I know this from experience.
This hits all us Ps4 gamers right to the heart.
see, i love your channel cuz like, i dont play skyrim. i would absolutely love to but i cant afford the game nor a device to play it on. but i love watching this channel cuz even though im not playing, i still feel like i kind of am? in a way? like theres so many things that ive (obviously) neglected to notice the few times i was able to play and this lets me see the things i could do, had i the funds to play. it lets me plot and figure out my options and know what i want to say. also, the videos are very well laid out. introduces the game, lists whatever the video says its gonna list, then finishes. you ask people what they liked and what they think you should put in. its a very nice community and it gets right to the point, without the whole "before we start the video, go like us on facebook and blah blah blah" no, its straightforward. thank you.
Love your vids especially these ones
Frozen electrocuted combustion - totally changes how I feel about dragon attacks. Once you see chared bones on the ground where a person once was, things get REAL
I think the build your own noble house would be great for role playing with other great mods
Thanks for specifying which platforms these are on. Hardly anyone does it.
Tacos in Skyrim! That is all we needed.
Bethesda.net or Nexus, I would download that mod.
Right when you were starting to serially repeat facts, you start exploring new types of lists and I love it. I'd love to see you show off some of your favorite builds or something like that.
That castle mod would be awesome on PS4
Aaron Sanborn *a mod* would be great on PS4 😂
I have an Xbox one and I use DDC with wildcat KYE, survival mode and on legendary. It hads a maaaaaajor challenge to the game especially at a very low level lol. I have had some fantastic deaths and recordings from all of it.
P.S. a shield always comes in handy at any point lol the book that you get for the imperial general in solitude, (mirror something) it teaches alot of importance on the use of a shield. But I digress, fantastic mod review Nate, there's a few I didn't know about with the magic so thank you for the new great info!
never clicked so fast
Psst want some skooma
@@naughtydirtyhornyboy4756 how much?
Arcanium surprised me. I figured after Lost Grimore and Apocalypse, minus a few smaller packages, there was almost nothing else new that could be done with Skyrim magic. And then this mod shows up and blows all those expectations out of the water again.
And as a fan of stuff like Windstald Mine, the Noble House mod has me intrigued to be sure. Especially as I no longer use mods like Immersive Creatures and such, which often gave issues due to their new spawns in places like that. I know a specific bandit spawn that camps in a certain farm's forge for example...
"... I'm not calling Bethesda lazy." I will. The fact that no Bethesda game in existence has never been developed to completion and fixed and left to modders (hobbyists) to do the job of fixing their games is testament to the laziness and passing off responsibility to people who are not paid to do it is evidence to their laziness. There, I'm saying it loud and clear even though I've been playing Elderscrolls since the original- they are a bunch of *Lazy developers!*
But they made the game! Jk
You obviously don't know how game development works then.
Game developers work sometimes a 100 hours a week when "crunch time" is declared which means that they have to do certain things in a certain amount of time because shareholders and the like want the game to come out at a specific time to make the most sales.
Why do you think the hugest games all come out in October / November / December ? Because they sell the most during the juicy holiday season.
If they had more time, they would have put more time into polishing it but they just didn't.
To call the developers lazy is just disrespectful. Hate the shareholders and the editors who put so much constraints on good developers.
1: Double negative in grammar
2: Oblivion seemed pretty done to me, for the time it was released there isnt much i would ask to be improved upon if they remade it aside from graphics and a bit better AI.
@@Arkenway Bethesda makes their games with "Dirty Code". In layman's terms, in coding, when you make a mistake you can fix it by either rewriting the string of code- which is a little bit more time intensive (around 15 percent) but you get far less bugs in your code or you can do what Bethesda does; just write over your pre-existing code without code redundancies and logic errors... in other words "Dirty Coding". Now, you can either code well the first time you write code (also known as "Clean Coding) or you can be a lazy coder who only does the bare minimum- Bethesda's modus operandi.
Now, you might ask, why is Bethesda's code so "dirty"? Well, the entire engine they use to build their games is over twenty years old- they bought it from Interplay when they bought Fallout and they've just been adding scraps and pieces here and there to make it functional... So essentially, Bethesda's game creation engine for their Elder Scroll and Fallout games is one big "Dirty Coding Engine" and these aren't developers who are interested in or maybe even capable of fixing their game's laughably bad coding.
The fact that gamers like you contintue to make excuses for shoddy products like this is the reason why they continue to release bovine scatology like this. Thanks a lot- Bethesda needs the defense.
@@MrRedFoxorMrelzorrorojo Lmao, the classic old ''But duh Engine reee!'' argument.
You clearly haven't got a clue what you're talking about.
that build you own castle mod is epic awesometastic
1:37 Red Eyes Black Dragon? 😍
Blue eyes is better 💖😢
@@anna.owo. In battle power - yes, but red eyes gets more badass points 😎
But is red eyes waifu material? 😂 Blue eyes is cannon waifu.. A girl with blue eyes and white hair.. Seto' s waifu.. I personally love blue eyes more
I think is cool that people are still making mods for Skyrim, after all these years, mods keep this game alive to this day.
I think you got the title wrong... "5 MUST HAVE MODS" *
Nate: currently killing Stormcloaks
Skyrim: JOIN THE STORMCLOAK REBELLION
I've never heard of Build Your Noble House, but I've been a big fan of the Blackthorn mod for about a year now. Great buildable town with some of the same features. Just reliant on gold, so it lacks that sense of accomplishment.
I installed the mod but haven't started on it. It's because I never go to that area of the map
@@Cause023 It's basically the only reason I go to that area. Definitely check it out. Once you get all of the shops set up, you get weekly income passively. I legit left for a couple in-game weeks and came back to about 6k gold per shop. Insane.
Is it on Xbox
@@giventomato5079 I believe so.
I remember when Destructible Display Cases showed up on Reddit, when the guy hadn't released it. He wanted to make it possible to melt the glass with flame spells but he never pulled it off if I recall.
Hey Nate! Can you make a video about the Thieves guild?
SMALL NOTE FOR DIVERSE DRAGONS: On Xbox it came break the mission where you learn dragonrend

*buys hearthfire*
This makes me angry
I'm with you, buddy. There are dozens of us!
But....Just get SE or legendary edition?
It's cheaper on cdkeys btw check it out...Stupid cheap.
Dawnguard has the most mods, I think.
Excellent mod review. I was missing review mods due not many are up to do them anymore.
Warning for ''Build Your Own Noble House''. It's got alot of buggy edits resulting in a very laggy area and has the potential to cause loads of CTD's.
Necro-commenting here, but yeah. Holy CTD batman! All of Locaster's mods cause loads of CTDs for me, even after cleaning them with Tes5edit, wyre bash and LOOT optimization with no other mods on a fresh install of Skyrim; just DLC and the official patches. He's also seemed to have disappeared so I can't run anything by him to see if I could find other fixes. Oh well, so goes it, shame though; they're beautiful mods.
@@Roy-kj8gf Oh man I remember downloading these mods. I'm glad I cut down my load order to less than 15 mods nowadays because otherwise Skyrim Together becomes unplayable. I still get the next-gen graphics and some dlc-size quest mods and I've got to say I don't miss the pain in the ass that was managing ~300 mod load orders at all
What are CTDs?
@@bea2307 CTD stands for crash to desktop. It is what happens when the game simply closes without an error, leaving you to stare at your desktop wondering what just happened.
MY FAV. 1: REVAK's RIFT
2: Unrestricted enchanting
3: Enhanced smithing
4: Ordinator
5: Merchant stand/merchant mod it puts a merchant stand in front of your owned houses in the holds that will allow you to sell items it is quest related so it takes time before you can sell everything prevent you from becoming too rich too quick. Of course you have to own a home and have a 1000 gold to buy it plus you could hire someone or have your own companion sit at the stand but someone must be there for your goods to be sold.
I'm definitely gonna try the Build your own noble house...sounds great! The others sound good too, except the Destructable Display Cases...not exactly enticing...for me anyway.
Thanks Nate!
I like destructible display cases, but I find that lockpicking is one of those skills, like Speech that you level up overtime whether you try to or not.
Nate, can you ever do a video of the top 5 PS4 mods, cause we don’t get much and I want to know if there really is anything worth adding.
Add a PC to your home. Helped me find good mods.
Kendall Williams that’s really easy to say, but right now we really don’t have the money for that, I plan on getting one, but not any time soon.
@@allhandsondik7803 what do u think a pc would cost?
Gettriggered Gaming too much for the 6 bucks that are in my account, but around 300-500 for a good one.
@@allhandsondik7803 The thing is you don't have to build an expensive one; I built one for around the price of a console ($175 USD) and it runs my modded skyrim (with some tweaks) at 50-60 fps. Just research used components that have a high performance to price ratio.
Nate! Your mod videos are awesome as ever! Maybe you should showcase your own personal load order sometime because your Skyrim looks AMAZING!
The Arcanum mods looks awesome. I see they were inspired by other games too, the crystal giant or whatever it's called there is from Dark Souls, Tri-Attack is from Pokemon :D
I really like the little information squares you put in
9:30 The glass cutter "Can be use to more quietly and precisely get past to the glass" while we see him swing wildly at the display case xD
What do dragons and NPCs have in common?
Diversity is their strength.
There's maybe ~25 different voices for NPC's in Skyrim, they're hardly diverse either.

"After seven years, the Skyrim modding community really knows what it's doing."
Yes, but did you know that Bethesda's core development team that works on these games have been doing so for twenty years now?
Think about that for a minute.
....omg someone go round there, they haven't been heard from since that holiday to nukaworld in 2016!
For fuck's sake without all the effort Bethesda put into the creation kit and frameworks like hearthfire very few of these mods would exist
Well... yeah...
It’s expected for game developers to know how to develop a game. It’s impressive on it’s own sure, but modders do it for free out of passion alone.
@@ltshep713
No.
I meant the opposite of that.
@@ronanvankessel6329
That's a fair point.
So why can't they put a similar effort into the finished game?
Really enjoying the slight upgrade of quality keep it up nate!
"*_and loyal peon... I MEAN CITIZENS_*"
I lol'd
Building a complete town like that... amazing! I'm pretty sure there will be playthroughs about it soon.
I wish "Build Your Own Noble House" was on PS4! It's such a cool idea! And I never knew how much I wanted destructible display cases until now.
Thanks for this, never knew about the build your noble house mod. Downloading it now!
I’d love to see build your own noble house or a better version of it in the new elder scrolls. Heathfire was so underwhelming
I love Dawnguard a lot other than the side quest in Fallout where you help this guy with his dad who has an ancient artifact on his head this is my favorite questline of all time but I just really wish there was more to do after you beat it like opening more of the castle building more upon it or just having more to do I love how they made the vampires
would be nice if the mod names/links were in the video description
The DDC models look SO GOOD. It’s an amazing mod.
"Build Your Noble House" Gets pretty laggy for me.
The only thing I dislike about Felburg is that the interior has several load doors to parts of the home, so I can't have one NPC sandbox the entire home, and it doesn't give you the "lived in" impression, the way the interior is decorated makes it look more like a museum. It could also use some more NPCs, or at least a schedule on the existing ones so they don't just work all the time, the tavern is always empty. Ah, and the alchemist vendor is broken, she isn't linked properly to her chest below the floor. But the sheer scale of the mod is why these things can be mentioned the first place, so all in all, it's the best estate mod I've ever seen, even if it could use some polish.
Holy crap ive never ever been this early!
Nice list. If i ever decide to play Skyrim again i will definetly get back to this video. Building whole city instead just small homestead seems very interesting as i always look for a way to expand Hearthfire homesteads.
Its been 3 years have u got back to playing
MXR wants to know you location
he doesnt review the mods the same way... he needs the voice
isnt he the weirdo who is obsessed with modding his game into killing the female inhabitants of Skyrim via freezing to death due to how little clothing he has them wear?
@@GenericUsername-qp1ww sometimes but not always
Lvl58DeathKnight No.
If you like "Build Your Own Noble House", I would definitely recommend "Blackthorn", a mod that allows you to build your own village with walls, defensive towers, multiple shops that generate income, a unique player home with tons of features, ect. And if that still isn't enough there's also "Winstad Mine" and "Heljarchen Farm", which are also among my favorite mods (though I dont think I need to explain those since I guess their names are... somewhat self explanatory. That, and they are both rather well known.)
I don't suppose you would do a mod review specifically for console users. I use PS4 and am looking for some mods that add story but all of the ones I see are just to make you op.
Can't do much on ps4 since sony is a little bitch
7:30 Guess I'm gonna be role playing as Escanor then
Meanwhile on PS4...
(Whistling winds)

@@santicheeks1106 yes you can have mods on skyrim ps4, but they're alot more limited
arcanum is nice. reasonably VR compatible as well. fec looks like it would adversely effect dead thrall production. adding more dragons seems like a legit plan so i'm trying that out too. thanks for the list. especially arcanum
