Just great! Between you,Gone turbo, Odin,Leon Shore and a few others I can honestly say my game has never looked nor played better! I am using all the latest 'Divine" mods but am going to be starting from scratch and all these wonderful show case videos can be a bit head spinning but in a really good way! Thank's again! Cheer's!
found this on reddit by the genius behind skyland . ill never look at skyland 2k the same ☺ . although ive managed to get it to run pretty smoothly with alot of fps mods skyland balance is now my choice . "Hey hey! MO here. SO, Skyland 1k is all 1k textures for both diffuse and normals. Some things like mountains will be 2k. This is great if you want better textures, the smallest footprint in terms of size, conserve as much FPS as possible, and don't need/want over the top visuals. In Skyland 2k, that's basically the PC version. Everything is 2k with some 4k things like mountains. This was released for people who don't know what they're doing and think that the higher the "k" is the end all be all and kind of released as a joke. Expect an FPS hit with it. Skyland Balanced is 2k diffuse with 1k normals with some things like mountains offered in 4k diffuse with 2k normals. This is a great blend. You get amazing PC quality visual with a smaller footprint in terms of size plus not too much of a hit on FPS, if any, considering these follow the same texture sizes as the vanilla game but with a boost to the normal's size. Explanation: Diffuse maps are the color maps. This is what you "See". It is the textures. The normals maps are the bumps and shadows that you see on the textures. As the sun passes over rock, you'll see the shadows move too. That's the normal map. Some times it will be blurry or blocky in some mods. Skyland uses photogrammetry that creates really accurate and granular normal maps down to the grains of dirt. You'll also see some textures like mud and rocks appear shinny. That's the alpha map stored in the normal texture."
Hey Bainesy! I discovered you a few days ago and I really like how you go in depth with the comparisons of how the mods changes the game. I would like to see a video of your latest LO. And perhaps a comparison between the Divine mods with Graphics Pack. I am currently doing a new gameplay and I want it to look new! Thank you m8!
Hi Bainsey, I really like your vids but usually watch them on xbox where I can't like or comment. Just wanted to let you know there's a mod called Dragons Be Gone which stops the random dragon attacks. They can still be found at word walls and in the scripted attacks but you wont be getting swooped on out in the wilds or in towns and villages. I use it in conjunction with Mighty Dragons which makes them a real challenge but only when you seek them out. Under vanilla conditions I can't see how there'd be anyone alive in Skyrim after about a week. Also, as an Everton fan, I really like your name :D
If your gonna play on Xbox you should be fine, if your gonna play on PS I don’t think you can get sky land because Sony won’t allow outside assets on the mod store only mods containing things already in the game.
Thanks for the video. I'll take a look at the Towns and Villages snow wood asap!

Thanks for the tip, I will defo check that out. I don’t really follow footy but I was raised a red an not related to Baines in anyway.
Hey Brotha, can you post a video of your latest Load Order, how it looks & how it's performing for you???
Hey there, wondering if you could do rustic lands vs skyland
Hey there. Is this Vivid Weathers DE or SE?
DE I believe.
What's up
Can i mix Skyland Balanced with Skyrim Graphic Overhaul mod ? Im new to this btw.
Try it! Whatever mod you want to be the main mod goes below the other mod and it should work.
Hi
Is this on the xone standard or the X?
On the one X
If I put this on a standard xbox One would the framerate deop or would it simply not look as good?
You should be fine if you don’t have a lot of mods taxing your system.
Bainesy I think I have around 75 mods planned for installment. Got a standard ps4 so I can't tell if an Xbox could handle that.
If your gonna play on Xbox you should be fine, if your gonna play on PS I don’t think you can get sky land because Sony won’t allow outside assets on the mod store only mods containing things already in the game.
Made my game have excessive load times
