Hey bud, do you have discord or Reddit? I'll also take orders in a post on here but I dont do any work on the xbox (other than film) any more because I use it to unwind and relax which became impossible for me, hope you understand
Employees at Bethesda: "Should we add a choice for vanilla and better combat mechanics?" Todd Howard: "Nah that's the communites job with no cost, free labor"
You guys pick on Bethesda a lot but it’s better that they make these things optional. Some people like vanilla Skyrim. Also be glad the mods are free and allowed on Xbox.
I'd imagine its 1 part security risk and 1 part we could just make games if we had it... it's likely the right move to not have it on their part too Sure I'd love a ton of the mods a script extender would allow but what we are getting is still amazing, it would be good if MS would allow for a version of SKSE that would allow for minimal things like animations so we could have newer mechanics but like you said on security I imagine we would quite easily break our consoles with some of the things people could do on SKSE
people don't lose your hope for elder scrolls 6 because you don't know it could a beautiful masterpiece of a game like when Skyrim was first released in 2011 and now that Xbox has acquired the licence i'm pretty sure it will be an awesome game and lets hope werewolves make a return and have a cooler design have a nice day yours truly The Black Shadow.
Max Parker, I wanted you to know I just discovered your videos about 24 hours ago, and I am now subscribing because you have already shown me more game-changing mods than I've ever found on my own or seen on TH-cam. It's remarkable what is possible on the Xbox one X using mods, and Skyrim has been the only game I've been playing lately. I promise you that I accurately spend 25% of my time playing the game, and 75% playing with the mods. Seeing the mods you are showing off has brought me so much closer to being able to finally leave the mods alone and just play over and over again. Thank you for the videos, I'm definitely glad there's someone on TH-cam I can rely on to help me make my game how I want it to be. Consider me a new fan!
That's awesome, I'm really glad you like them :D The Xbox has so much available to it, and I know the modding vs gaming dilema all too well! Sometimes its 10 hours modding for 2 hours of play time... and the days is gone, then I'll dream Skyrim and think of something else I was to see and the entire process starts again lmao (I need to go out more!) If you ever need a hand just ask, I spend a lot of time in my comments haha
@@Modswell Haha yeah this has been my problem for the past month I'd say. Especially the 10 hours of modding for 2 hours of playing part. I did that all week I'm sure. Anyhow, keep making videos please, because there can never be enough talk about the mods and you helped alot already. Can't wait to watch more and see what other mods I missed, so I can spend the next day changing a third of my load order and creating 10 different conflicts hahaha. I'll be in touch if I ever need answers, thank you!
Thank you, for the effort you put in this video. I've downloaded many mods trying to make the game more difficult, but still fun. But i could never find one. Until I seen this. Thanks.

Character behavior enhancement on xbox is really neat. Could you check it out in depth? It makes you able to attack underwater, midair and even casting on a horse. This is a sweet video never been to your channel before but your mod selection is just a bit different from everyone elses.
@@Modswell well most of the "best xbox modlist category videos" use the same really mb heavy mods again and again. I stumbled upon Character behavior enhancement myself and its only a few mb. I feel like these are the mods we as a player need more so then the beauty mods. I feel like you understand what mods actually makes the skyrim experience better.
I like a little of all kind of mods, beauty mods I try not to spend too much on, and I dont bother changing faces only textures... but gameplay definitely comes first
Finally somone who plays skyrim like me lol i love dificult enemies and not being over powered basically run all these already but the tdg advanced combat is a new one im trying out now thx a bunch
Yeah, tougher combat feels so much more rewarding... often in my videos I have to play with an easier set up to get clips but this one was really fun to make
Another great video Max. You're a real asset to the Xbox modding community! I do have two questions though: - What grass mod are you using? - Those fort textures at Mistwatch, are they from Organic Skyrim?
@@Modswell That's great! I swapped out my Noble architecture mods for Tamriel Retextured 1k yesterday, which has the same dark and gritty vibe, but is over 300mb smaller. I also downloaded Skyrim Revisited AIO yesterday, and honestly, I am blown away. Having played Skyrim so much, I know so many locations like the back of my hand, but this mod changes that. Now places like Embershard Mine or Bleak Falls Barrow feel fresh and exciting again. I'm really enjoying the channel mate, you're doing Talos' work!
TR Architecture is easily my favourite, it covers so much and looks awesome... although I still the City Trees really bring out the best of it in the towns Yeah Revisited is amazing! One of my all time favourite mods. Thanks pal:D
Their are new animations mods now on Xbox like Leviathan Two-handed weapons and Olivier kenjutsu Dual wield that look amazing. Also Enemy Reinforcements which adds 2x to every enemy spawn in the game aside from Dragons and bosses. Good list though.

SRCEO Updated And Optimized - Skyrim Revamped Complete Enemy Overhaul, is my go to combat mod, plus its additions. Drop it in below the 'Wildcat' of your choice. It's not small, however i've been running it on a heavy LO with no issues. I use QoL and gameplay mods, too many textures cause issues, and i'll take gameplay over beauty every time. Careful on the Ai too.. (xbox)
I do enjoy SRCEO, I used it on my last order and had a good time with it Textures don't (or shouldn't) hurt your game, I'd put optimised 1k textures down as the best performance mod. It isnt until you get into the bigger resolution that problems arise. Different story for Meshes/Poly mods that do add strain as well as anything that adds to many scripts, people or items to the world where the game struggles to load it all up. I do largely agree though, I choose my gameplay mods before picking textures to make sure it's fun to play, they are the best part of modding for me but I won't turn down a pretty game though
@@Modswell Thanks! That was a good call. Didn’t realise there was much odds between textures, meshes and hpp stuff. Did a space wipe and have now included the Noble Skyrim set, plus an ‘alternative’ armour textures, forget the name but it compliments the old better looking weapons mod, amongst my usual array. My only bad call was doing a test start with a Khajiit and forgetting I had the Troy Baker voice pack on.. I do like these voice packs doing the rounds atm. Till next time. o7
Its interesting how you say dual wielding always felt weird in the vanilla game. Of course it would feel and look weird, because it isn't really a thing. Dual wielding just looks cool in movies, but it doesn't make any sense in real world combat, especially for the types of weapons used in these games.
I imagine Dual Wielding would have been largely impractical but I'd never given it much thought, good information. But from the game perspective it does feel like a cool thing to do and the vanilla animations were just strange and as I know a fair few people who play that style I figured I'd throw up the suggestion. Do you do Hema or study history and wars? What would you class as the most realistic fighting style available to us on here?
@@Modswell , wait I’m using that one. What does it replace? Also, saw the QOL mod you use for grass foxes and it also helped me remove mods like “get up fast” mod. Thanks again!
@@Mike-oz7gv beware of the qol mod. although handy to only use 1 slot for so many merged mods, load order should always be priority and merged mods will always screw you over somehow depending on how many other mods youre using...
@@thevlaka I agree with you as I think it was causing major bugs (more than fixing them). Instead, i just bit the bullet and used the individual ones I thought worked.
Do you think you could do a video review of People of Skyrim Complete someday? It seems like it would pair well with some of the mods you regularly use
I will make an order for it, unfortunately my normal order style wont work as it is a very incompatible mod so whilst it may suit mods I love it doesn't work with them
Good stuff! Also, what are your thoughts on Fatality? It was the only mod I could find that allows parrying besides TDGs Combat and Vigor. Personally I'm not a fan of the semi- permanent injuries, but the rest of the changes seem really comprehensive
@@Modswell That makes a lot of sense. With fatality, I've been killed in one hit dozens of times by now while just trying to test out lighting mods (ON NOVICE), so I'm inclined to agree with you haha
Throw in KYE AiO to make it even more evil and if you ever decide you truly hate yourself throw Rebalanced Encounter Zones and Leveled Actors on top too... it's a good way to cry yourself to sleep
Yeah very true, I use Ordinator in tough orders because of all the extra strength. I've never liked truly absorb but in an order like that it totally get it! Try Skyshards too, it adds little shards to the world, 3 gives you a perk point so its really fun hunting them
Generally speaking I prefer Vokrii for its ease of use and friendlier size but Ordinator is great when you have a specific build in mind or more difficulty to help somewhat even the odds, hope you enjoy it pal
I always use Ultimate Dodge Mod (the XP32 Compatible version) There are others but they're no where near as complete, the mod can be fiddly to set up but once you have you'll never go back! I have a video on setting it up and trouble shooting
Hi, for a really good overhaul of all the enemies I would definitely recommand Skyrim Revamped by Nightman0 it's wonderful, I'm surprised it's not that famous for xbox and not on the most downloaded it add apocalypse and vanilla spells as well as ordinator perks to npc (if you have it installed). Just try, you will not know how to play without it, it's like ASIS but for xbox ( even have a combat tweak into it) !!
Yeah I've used it a few times but I didnt find it worthy of the 250mb cost (plus the cost of the mods needed to take advantage of it) I think it would be a highly used mod if we didnt have to keep to 5gb
@@Modswell I find it unique to add apocalypse spells and other tweaks like that but I would certainly try an other mod if there is one doing the same things (adding modded spells to npc, because I like playing mage and being attacked by other things than vanilla flammes XD)
Hey man!!! I loved the video, but've come across a question that I need to ask, I saw that you changed grips with some of the weapons, what mod is that? Like at 7:42, you were holding the greatsword with one hand.
That's a really strange side effect of Dualsun alongside Kotrol, sometimes you swap weapons and it does a funky grip, I happen to love it so I dont look for a fix (Bad Tip but you can semi force this by get Zweihander, creating a save and then removing Zweihander and carrying on)
Are you playing on xbox? Cause i havent been able to get any dodge mods to work right...ive even had them be the only mods but i just roll in place and its really frustrating
Hey did you change your name at some point i dont remeber to subscrubing to this channel but i feel like your content is smillar to something i watched before
Where is that sick looking spinning greatsword power attack coming from? I'm running 5poiler with dualsun below it and my greatsword power attacks appear to be just standard vanilla.
If you go into the power for Wildcat you can edit it a little bit for a more fun time ... I always spec for stamina so sometimes I dont think about these things, you could try Better Combat AI
They do work together but most of what it does is covered in RAID (thanks for the acronym) For me RAID is a little much, you pretty much get detected by draugr in a different dungeon on the other side of Skyrim! It's fun for its difficulty but I dont find it realistic at all. I prefer Search and Destroy because it's a watered down version, NPCs will spot you from further away especially if you're not in cover or making too much noise... and they won't give up looking for you for a long time either
Yes I get this I just find that even using the right stuff the Detection range and ease is insane, I just walked into a dungeon the first time I got the mod and my radar pinged red everywhere, I did test it before making this video again, my set up is Kynes Weather and Seasons, Simply Darker Interiors/Inferno Fire Effects and Shadows Same exact results so I find that Search and Destroy is a more realistic mod overall and much easier to use as you dont have to cater to get the best out of it. Thank you for the info though, hopefully itll help some subs out :)
No no no sorry you came across knowledgeable, never apologise for that! I was just sharing my experience... sometimes text makes everything seem harsher than they're meant lol I never take it seriously
It can be really unapproachable because it's very... fatal... it's well named, probably the most realistic and it makes fights really quick but can hamper you for ages with injuries alternatively you walk into a camp and anything kills you (like I said, most realistic) I'd say use it if you play on legendary with something like Wildcat and it's too easy for you
I use fatality when I want a really difficult experience its brilliant but not to everyones tastes because it's pretty hard, Mortal enemies I love but it conflicts with Growl so you have to put it in game mechanics changes up the top but yes I will often use it because it makes enemies make more sense attack wise. Storm and Steel is really cool conceptually and it even works with Wildcat however it has one problem for me in that it makes Melee Combat a less viable option and Magic, Archery and especially Summuning OP
Thanks for the advise. Ive got Athletik combat, TGD's, (cant get parrying to work?) Wild cat. Know your enemy. Better bandits. Seems to all work well. I have some animation mods but as far as difficulty goes. Those combined seem to make it quite tough but allround balanced.
Awwww. It goes kinda slow motion? I thought parrying would just be the weapons clanging together. Eg 2 swords hitting each other. Yeh it seems to work really well as far as game mechanics work.
I see pc mods where the swords just bounce off each other. Ive seen another mod where it seems if you hit their armour with either arrow or melee weapon. There's a spark as it bounces off their armour. Nothing like that for xbox?
Does it let you redownload the outdated version? Odds are its being remembered by your save, when you uninstalled did you use the spell for uninstallation? Try hard resetting the console to clear the cache
With a weapon drawn move using the sticks and hit your sneak button (mines RB for ease) But if you go into Alteration Magic theres a spell called Dodge Configuration that will allow you to change a few settings including changing to rolls only if youd prefer
So one of these lowered the base damage of all blade weapons (daggers, swords, greatswords) to insanely low rates. Any idea which mod might do that and how to fix it? I rather like using swords and dont want to have to stop because they suck now
None of these do that, Wildcat changes bow damage to be weaker and melee damage to be stronger KYE AiO makes it do different weapons are the right choice against different enemies Rebalanced Encounter Zones makes enemies stronger so it might be harder to get through But none of these lower sword damage
@@Modswell hmmm that's odd, on a brand new character (using alternate start to guarantee I spawn with an iron sword for testing) the iron sword always has a damage rating of 2
@@Modswell After messing with KYE AiO, Wildcat, and TDG, I found that disabling KYE AiO fixed the damage issue and now the blades are back to their correct damage. I wonder if there is some bug in the mod, either way my issue is resolved
Hi! What mod are you using for the areas to look so different? I swear at this point I now all of Skyrim better than my neighbourhood lol so I was looking for something would make me actually explore it again. I tried Great Forest Of Whiterun but it keeps crashing my game. What would you recommend?
What kind of changes do you like? Cities of the North and The Great Cities/Towns/Villages are really nice at changing the settlements, forests are hard to build because they just make the game engine give up on life but mods like Origins of Forest help fill out the pine areas, also check out the new Dark Fantasy Forest mod itll rework all your trees to be more pretty and add a ton of variety.... then maybe throw trees addon on top for even more!
I do have it on because it's in ScryUI but also used it before hand with just Dynamic and both worked fine, I have dyna cam near the top of my order and the roll is lower down
Is it so hard to ask for every single mod in the video to literally be listed in the description you don't even have them all listed I'm not looking to add to my own list I wanna just copy others lists
Yes because it might not be from a completely tested load order and then I would have to answer too many questions and fix problems. If you want a load order there are videos for that.
It doesnt cover idles of any sort unfortunately It covers dual weild of any sort and great swords I get all my weapon idles and carrys (and non weapon idles) for Dual sun For a great 2 handed weapon idle try Zweihander I have now said Idle so many times I'm not sure it's a real word
@@Modswell lol i heard that, idles are something i thought i'd never care about. ever since YY waa taken down it's been hard to find the perfect setup. i use zweihander atm, it does well for the dark souls feel but i feel like i'm lacking something. also, i use belt fastened quivers, does weapons on back do the same or should i keep it? apologies for the questions!
Yeah I'm big on idles and animations too! BFQ and WoB AiO (or Swords and Arrows) perform similarly but I advise WoB for a few reasons - it includes swords on the back too (like witcher) - The arrows are better located the BFQ even with the BFQ XP32 Patch Basically theres no reason not to use WoB now IMO Always feel free to ask the question, it never bothers me pal!
Which version of the ebony weapon replacer are you using in this video? I downloaded it but your sheath has a darker tone and the one I have is brown and seems a bit off for my taste.
@@Modswell one last question but has uncap fps to 60 worked for you? I tried it on xbox x but I had allot of stutters and crashes. Could have been a load order problem or something like that. Just wanted to see if you have any experience with it
@@Modswell Yes its the xbox version and I'm on xbox x unfortunately, not series x. I got rid of it and disabled immersive citizens because my game keeps crashing. Its still crashing. I have know your enemy aio, tdgs combat mod, and fatality and movement overhaul. None of those conflict with each other i thought. I've been pretty careful with my load order but I am pretty new to this. I'm going to try to disable mods until it stops crashing
It all depends on the mods you're using, you need to consider; - Spawn Count - Script Count - Conflicting Mods - High Poly Meshes - and some mods are just a little busted Join a good community and they will help you build orders and check your work
I did but I've had a few people say it didnt work for them, if that happens I suggest grabbing the separate files and putting them bellow Dualsun and itll sort it right out
Yeah, the lowest mod will take precedence so say for example you liked a specific jump mod but you also use an AIO you would want to run AiO Specific Jump To get the best of both worlds, the jump would overwrite that from the AiO but youd also get the rest for the AiO otherwise
Happy new year ... I would like some help vampire cos I keep get kill everytime I fast travel and guard keep killing me everytime I go in town I am playing full vampire need how play it right or I doing something wrong and my health won't go up
@@Modswell ok can tell me what is mockery of life, the beast, wassail, cos I got all this and can't get ridden of it and where better place feed on human
To get rid of that you need to eat, the easiest way is finding sleeping people and crouching then eating them... you can also get blood potions in castle volkahir (the vampire place for Dawnguard) it's the safest method to not get caught if you're not sneaky enough
I honestly only started using mods 3 days ago so thanks so much for making this.

My only bad call was doing a test start with a Khajiit and forgetting I had the Troy Baker voice pack on.. I do like these voice packs doing the rounds atm. Till next time. o7
You should try the mod called monster overhaul with this setup just a suggestion but it's a great mod for a monster hunter build.
Yep happy to try it out, I have a friend using it and he really likes it I'll, thanks for the tip
@@Modswell no problem love your videos
Thanks very much :)
Would you ever do a video on your character story? I'm pretty interested.
Hmmm interesting, what sort of thing would you like to know about my Character?
@@Modswell backstory and movations
Its interesting how you say dual wielding always felt weird in the vanilla game. Of course it would feel and look weird, because it isn't really a thing. Dual wielding just looks cool in movies, but it doesn't make any sense in real world combat, especially for the types of weapons used in these games.
I imagine Dual Wielding would have been largely impractical but I'd never given it much thought, good information. But from the game perspective it does feel like a cool thing to do and the vanilla animations were just strange and as I know a fair few people who play that style I figured I'd throw up the suggestion. Do you do Hema or study history and wars? What would you class as the most realistic fighting style available to us on here?
Yo thanks
Two hand is my style. Always play a two-handed electricutioner build.
I like two handed and archery!
I’m on PlayStation so my combat mainly consists of shields bashing-attacking due to Sony restricting external assets.
Wait, Max. Are you joking? We get combat gameplay overhaul? 👀🙌🥳
No, this is just me overhauling combat with separate mods, I think that requires SKSE
Awesome video thanks! What UI mod are you using?
Wanted to mention that using swords on back all in one allowed me to remove quivers on back with the XP32 patch- so replace 2 mods with one! Thanks!
WoB is amazing my next video is going to be on AI Overhaul which will save even more slots
@@Modswell , wait I’m using that one. What does it replace?
Also, saw the QOL mod you use for grass foxes and it also helped me remove mods like “get up fast” mod. Thanks again!
@@Mike-oz7gv beware of the qol mod. although handy to only use 1 slot for so many merged mods, load order should always be priority and merged mods will always screw you over somehow depending on how many other mods youre using...
QoL is fine I've used it with Zero issue... it's not like HASTE
@@thevlaka I agree with you as I think it was causing major bugs (more than fixing them). Instead, i just bit the bullet and used the individual ones I thought worked.
Havn't played skyrim in 6 months I got bored after years of moding. Now I just looking around see what the news mods are
Probably been a thousand new mods in 6 months, it's awesome how we get more all the time
Me: *plays warband sees this video and hears the word mod* "what the f-"
Do you think you could do a video review of People of Skyrim Complete someday?
It seems like it would pair well with some of the mods you regularly use
I will make an order for it, unfortunately my normal order style wont work as it is a very incompatible mod so whilst it may suit mods I love it doesn't work with them
Good stuff! Also, what are your thoughts on Fatality? It was the only mod I could find that allows parrying besides TDGs Combat and Vigor. Personally I'm not a fan of the semi- permanent injuries, but the rest of the changes seem really comprehensive
Fatality is good but I use Wildcat to cover a lot of what fatality does but a little less stressful if that makes sense
@@Modswell That makes a lot of sense. With fatality, I've been killed in one hit dozens of times by now while just trying to test out lighting mods (ON NOVICE), so I'm inclined to agree with you haha
I do enjoy fatality but usually have to drop my difficulty level, I may use it in a future order though
I use.
Smilodon
Smilodon realistic damage
Mortal enemies
Athletic combat
Hardcore dragons
Archery tweaks
Ultimate dodge mod
Violens
Realistic ai detection.
Arena an encounter zone overhaul
Stronger bosses
Thats a fun looking line up, tough enough too!
Throw in KYE AiO to make it even more evil and if you ever decide you truly hate yourself throw Rebalanced Encounter Zones and Leveled Actors on top too... it's a good way to cry yourself to sleep
Yeah very true, I use Ordinator in tough orders because of all the extra strength.
I've never liked truly absorb but in an order like that it totally get it! Try Skyshards too, it adds little shards to the world, 3 gives you a perk point so its really fun hunting them
Generally speaking I prefer Vokrii for its ease of use and friendlier size but Ordinator is great when you have a specific build in mind or more difficulty to help somewhat even the odds, hope you enjoy it pal
Great mod list! But is there any dodge mods that you can recommend
I always use Ultimate Dodge Mod (the XP32 Compatible version)
There are others but they're no where near as complete, the mod can be fiddly to set up but once you have you'll never go back!
I have a video on setting it up and trouble shooting
Come to think of it I recomend that mod in this video
Another great vid! Which mod to have the shoulder mounted two handed sheathe?
Greatswords naturally sheath on the shoulder, but it rests on it if you use either YY Animations Zweihander or Leviathan Animation AiO
@@Modswell sweet ty
hey bro could you put your complete modlist please! your game looks awesome!!
It should be the next load order you see from this video
Do you think that update for this video is needed because its been 1 year and new mods might have come out.
Absolutely needs an update I'll get around to that asap
@@Modswell thank u I be on a look out for ur video 😄
What is the mod that allows you to carry a bunch of items on your character?
(Nvm after watching later on I found it lol)
Btw great video
Haha fair and thank you
Could i use 360 walk and run with all of these animation changing mods?
Hi, for a really good overhaul of all the enemies I would definitely recommand Skyrim Revamped by Nightman0 it's wonderful, I'm surprised it's not that famous for xbox and not on the most downloaded it add apocalypse and vanilla spells as well as ordinator perks to npc (if you have it installed). Just try, you will not know how to play without it, it's like ASIS but for xbox ( even have a combat tweak into it) !!
Yeah I've used it a few times but I didnt find it worthy of the 250mb cost (plus the cost of the mods needed to take advantage of it)
I think it would be a highly used mod if we didnt have to keep to 5gb
@@Modswell I find it unique to add apocalypse spells and other tweaks like that but I would certainly try an other mod if there is one doing the same things (adding modded spells to npc, because I like playing mage and being attacked by other things than vanilla flammes XD)
Yeah I'd be very happy to see a cheaper version come out
Nothing to do with it all but keep making videos like that I enjoy them since it's helped me to create my Ultimate Mod list !! Good job !! ;)
Double on that algo comrad
Thanks pal :)
How do I use the ultimate dodge mod? It doesnt move my character it just does the animation and doesnt rlly DODGE
This mods are sick asf all that we need is a lock on mod then it would be perfect
That's my number 1 wanted mod... would be great
Hey man!!! I loved the video, but've come across a question that I need to ask, I saw that you changed grips with some of the weapons, what mod is that? Like at 7:42, you were holding the greatsword with one hand.
That's a really strange side effect of Dualsun alongside Kotrol, sometimes you swap weapons and it does a funky grip, I happen to love it so I dont look for a fix (Bad Tip but you can semi force this by get Zweihander, creating a save and then removing Zweihander and carrying on)
Are you playing on xbox? Cause i havent been able to get any dodge mods to work right...ive even had them be the only mods but i just roll in place and its really frustrating
I am, I actually have a video on how to get that mod working
How do I get TUDM to work in 3rd person? I can’t for the life of me figure this out. My character just T poses 😢
Hey did you change your name at some point i dont remeber to subscrubing to this channel but i feel like your content is smillar to something i watched before
Yes I have, it was Maxwell Parker now its Modswell :)
@@Modswell knew i remebered you
I play on a xbox series s and have skyrim se and when I look it up it doesnt show up. Can someone help me
I just grabbed all of them, not sure if all of them work and I am running greatswords, axes and Warhammers, which should I get rid of?
Where is that sick looking spinning greatsword power attack coming from? I'm running 5poiler with dualsun below it and my greatsword power attacks appear to be just standard vanilla.
Yeah drop 5poiler and use the smaller files instead bellow Dualsun.
Beasty Greatsword is the animation
Are these mod on the Skyrim Se/Ae mod page in game-menu for PC.
I like wild cat, but hate that it takes half my stamina from one regular sword swing.
If you go into the power for Wildcat you can edit it a little bit for a more fun time ... I always spec for stamina so sometimes I dont think about these things, you could try Better Combat AI
Have you thought about setting up a Discord server so we could all exchange information about mods a little easier?
I'd really like to but I'm pretty awful at Discord, I'm in a few and I'll ask some friends for some help :)
@@Modswell I could always help out, I'm a server owner that knows it really well.
That would be awesome,
My user is maxwellparker31 if you want to talk about it
@@Modswell What're the four digits at the end?
Should just be 2 digits at the end, 31... they were my football numbers
I'm a bit late for this but I can't find the ultimate dodge mod on Xbox. Was it taken down?
No it's still up there try "dodge mod reborn" that's the new version
I don't know if you remember me but I would like to add Immersive patrols in your most recent load order. Where would you suggest to put it?
Same spot as I put it in the description here, the Enemy Level List section
I remember you pal :D
@@Modswell ANOTHER GREAT VID 👍!! THANK YOU
Thanks pal :)
for me the ultimate dodge mod doesnt even work. it does the roll animation but keeps me stationary.
Are you using XP32 and the XP32 compatible version?
So I should get an xbox one for only Skyrim?
Weapons on back have been removed for XBox one
It's still there try
Weapon on back
Or
WoB
I wonder how well search and destroy pairs with realistic AI detection (RAID)
They do work together but most of what it does is covered in RAID (thanks for the acronym)
For me RAID is a little much, you pretty much get detected by draugr in a different dungeon on the other side of Skyrim!
It's fun for its difficulty but I dont find it realistic at all.
I prefer Search and Destroy because it's a watered down version, NPCs will spot you from further away especially if you're not in cover or making too much noise... and they won't give up looking for you for a long time either
Yes I get this I just find that even using the right stuff the Detection range and ease is insane, I just walked into a dungeon the first time I got the mod and my radar pinged red everywhere, I did test it before making this video again, my set up is Kynes Weather and Seasons,
Simply Darker Interiors/Inferno Fire Effects and Shadows
Same exact results so I find that Search and Destroy is a more realistic mod overall and much easier to use as you dont have to cater to get the best out of it.
Thank you for the info though, hopefully itll help some subs out :)
No no no sorry you came across knowledgeable, never apologise for that! I was just sharing my experience... sometimes text makes everything seem harsher than they're meant lol I never take it seriously
What's your thoughts on Fatality?
It can be really unapproachable because it's very... fatal... it's well named, probably the most realistic and it makes fights really quick but can hamper you for ages with injuries alternatively you walk into a camp and anything kills you (like I said, most realistic)
I'd say use it if you play on legendary with something like Wildcat and it's too easy for you
What do you think about mods like Fatality? And like massive combat changes like Storm of steel? Mortal enemies?
I use fatality when I want a really difficult experience its brilliant but not to everyones tastes because it's pretty hard, Mortal enemies I love but it conflicts with Growl so you have to put it in game mechanics changes up the top but yes I will often use it because it makes enemies make more sense attack wise.
Storm and Steel is really cool conceptually and it even works with Wildcat however it has one problem for me in that it makes Melee Combat a less viable option and Magic, Archery and especially Summuning OP
Thanks for the advise. Ive got Athletik combat, TGD's, (cant get parrying to work?) Wild cat. Know your enemy. Better bandits.
Seems to all work well. I have some animation mods but as far as difficulty goes. Those combined seem to make it quite tough but allround balanced.
That sounds like a great set up, the parrying is the grey screen that hits you and the enemy back
That looks like a really good set up!
Awwww. It goes kinda slow motion?
I thought parrying would just be the weapons clanging together. Eg 2 swords hitting each other. Yeh it seems to work really well as far as game mechanics work.
I see pc mods where the swords just bounce off each other. Ive seen another mod where it seems if you hit their armour with either arrow or melee weapon. There's a spark as it bounces off their armour. Nothing like that for xbox?
With the follower management how do you get your followers to ride a horse
I believe to get the option you need to own a horse for them and once you do talk to them as an option for them to ride will be there
What’s the name of that armor and is there a male version of it?
So, I downloaded an outdated version of the dodge mod. And I uninstalled it wrong, and now I cant download any version. Is there a way to fix this?
Does it let you redownload the outdated version?
Odds are its being remembered by your save, when you uninstalled did you use the spell for uninstallation?
Try hard resetting the console to clear the cache
I use mofumofu with dual sun, for now at least until elfendragos Witcher combat makes a comeback.
Happy new year everybody!!!
Witcher Combat was my absolute favourite and I really miss it
Ultimate dodge roll doesnt work for me only in 1 person. Whats the problem :(
Hard to say without seeing your order shoot it over
@@Modswell idk how to use it i only use the joystick when im in first person and i roll but idk how to roll on 3 person
With a weapon drawn move using the sticks and hit your sneak button (mines RB for ease)
But if you go into Alteration Magic theres a spell called Dodge Configuration that will allow you to change a few settings including changing to rolls only if youd prefer
@@Modswell thankzzz i have the 32Xp ultimate dodge roll and the ultimate dodge roll. Is that good or i need to uninstall one?
You only need one so
XP32 Realistic Ragdoll and Force
Ultimate Dodge Mod XP32
So one of these lowered the base damage of all blade weapons (daggers, swords, greatswords) to insanely low rates. Any idea which mod might do that and how to fix it? I rather like using swords and dont want to have to stop because they suck now
None of these do that, Wildcat changes bow damage to be weaker and melee damage to be stronger
KYE AiO makes it do different weapons are the right choice against different enemies
Rebalanced Encounter Zones makes enemies stronger so it might be harder to get through
But none of these lower sword damage
@@Modswell hmmm that's odd, on a brand new character (using alternate start to guarantee I spawn with an iron sword for testing) the iron sword always has a damage rating of 2
@@Modswell After messing with KYE AiO, Wildcat, and TDG, I found that disabling KYE AiO fixed the damage issue and now the blades are back to their correct damage. I wonder if there is some bug in the mod, either way my issue is resolved
Hi! What mod are you using for the areas to look so different? I swear at this point I now all of Skyrim better than my neighbourhood lol so I was looking for something would make me actually explore it again. I tried Great Forest Of Whiterun but it keeps crashing my game. What would you recommend?
What kind of changes do you like?
Cities of the North and The Great Cities/Towns/Villages are really nice at changing the settlements, forests are hard to build because they just make the game engine give up on life but mods like Origins of Forest help fill out the pine areas, also check out the new Dark Fantasy Forest mod itll rework all your trees to be more pretty and add a ton of variety.... then maybe throw trees addon on top for even more!
@@Modswell Cool! I'll check all of those out, I just hope I don't screw up the Load Order...
I know I am a bit late, but do you have the dynamic camera mod on? If so how have you got the roll to work because they conflict for me
I do have it on because it's in ScryUI but also used it before hand with just Dynamic and both worked fine, I have dyna cam near the top of my order and the roll is lower down
@@Modswell appreciate the fast reply and dw I got it sorted. Weirdly I did the opposite, my dyna cam is below
Is it so hard to ask for every single mod in the video to literally be listed in the description you don't even have them all listed I'm not looking to add to my own list I wanna just copy others lists
Yes because it might not be from a completely tested load order and then I would have to answer too many questions and fix problems. If you want a load order there are videos for that.
Do you use xp23 with your weapons on back I asked on a reply in a previous video
Yeah I do, I will always have XP32 because it's a dependency for certain mods
question about 5poiler, does it change idle poses with weapons drawn? what weapons does it cover?
It doesnt cover idles of any sort unfortunately
It covers dual weild of any sort and great swords
I get all my weapon idles and carrys (and non weapon idles) for Dual sun
For a great 2 handed weapon idle try Zweihander
I have now said Idle so many times I'm not sure it's a real word
@@Modswell lol i heard that, idles are something i thought i'd never care about. ever since YY waa taken down it's been hard to find the perfect setup. i use zweihander atm, it does well for the dark souls feel but i feel like i'm lacking something. also, i use belt fastened quivers, does weapons on back do the same or should i keep it? apologies for the questions!
Yeah I'm big on idles and animations too!
BFQ and WoB AiO (or Swords and Arrows) perform similarly but I advise WoB for a few reasons
- it includes swords on the back too (like witcher)
- The arrows are better located the BFQ even with the BFQ XP32 Patch
Basically theres no reason not to use WoB now IMO
Always feel free to ask the question, it never bothers me pal!
@@Modswell thanks so much! and your video was very good, i am def adding some of these to my load order!
No worries, glad you liked it!
So for some reason when I got the follower mod my companions are stuck in sneak, any idea how to fix that?
Nvm I fixed it but I have a bigger problem, stormcloaks or imperials hahaha
Glad you fixed it, sorry I was asleep
Imperials! I'm biased though
Which mod change you health and stamina bar layout
SkyHUD Oblivion Presets I believe, there are plenty of HUD options now too which is great
@@Modswell thank u
I'm so mad that there is no lock on mod for xbox
That's my ideal mod
@@Modswell and I want/need that mod so i can enjoy 3rd person skyrim
It can get really jarring... I lose enemies constantly ahha
Their is a really good camera mod called Dynamic camera that helps quite a bit for 3rd person gameplay.
Yeah that's what I use, definitely makes 3rd person good but lock on would just make it that ton sweeter
Which version of the ebony weapon replacer are you using in this video? I downloaded it but your sheath has a darker tone and the one I have is brown and seems a bit off for my taste.
Old Kingdom, it happens to include Ebony Weapon Replacer with it's own edit on the sheath
@@Modswell Oh that’s a big boi file. Guess I gotta clear out my cache🥲 cheers!
It is indeed! You're welcome
Hay the beasty greatsword mod is not working
What other animation mode are you using and did you hard reset after installing?
If I go with fatality, know your enemy aio, and tdgs advanced combat, would it be a bad choice to add wildcat?
Yes, Fatality offers pretty much everything Wildcat would but in an amped up way
Ya I just figured it out. Thankies kind sir
@@Modswell one last question but has uncap fps to 60 worked for you? I tried it on xbox x but I had allot of stutters and crashes. Could have been a load order problem or something like that. Just wanted to see if you have any experience with it
Series X is able to handle it but Skyrim isnt set up for 60fps so it looks a little funky... are you using the Xbox version or the mod?
@@Modswell Yes its the xbox version and I'm on xbox x unfortunately, not series x. I got rid of it and disabled immersive citizens because my game keeps crashing. Its still crashing. I have know your enemy aio, tdgs combat mod, and fatality and movement overhaul. None of those conflict with each other i thought. I've been pretty careful with my load order but I am pretty new to this. I'm going to try to disable mods until it stops crashing
please but subtitles in pleeease i couldnt get any of the mods
If it helps they're all in the description with links to bethnet yo favourite them
@@Modswell thank you so much im a nunce i didnt look for them
Nah it's all good, I should leave words on the screen to say what's happening, I'll try to in the future
How do you get the game to stop crashing when using mods
It all depends on the mods you're using, you need to consider;
- Spawn Count
- Script Count
- Conflicting Mods
- High Poly Meshes
- and some mods are just a little busted
Join a good community and they will help you build orders and check your work
@@Modswell thanks appreciate the reply
What are your settings for your camera? I’m assuming you’re using a camera mod

Ranged Alignment is Far Right
Can u provide a link for the animation mods? I cant really tell what ur saying. Sorry friend for asking.
Nevermind i see them in the description

I did but I've had a few people say it didnt work for them, if that happens I suggest grabbing the separate files and putting them bellow Dualsun and itll sort it right out
i know this was a while ago but do you know what hud mod you where using?
SkyHUD I believe dissonance preset but not 100% sure
thats the one, just to make sure, it will conflict with any other version of skyHUD, correct?@@Modswell
Yeah it will, the lower one will work nothing game breaking though
@@Modswell alright cool, thanks man! this is the first vid ive watched of yours but im def gonna chuck a sub :)
Appreciate it bud, I'm on a little sabbatical right now but I'll be back on Friday doing Starfield
What about ps4? 😢
Could I use Wildcat and fatality combat and movement?
It covers the same things, On the Tarsh site Wildcat is also down as one of the incompatibilities
@@Modswell k thanks
No problem
Fatality is awesome though, especially if you're after a challenge
Does load order matter for the combat and animations at all?
Yeah, the lowest mod will take precedence so say for example you liked a specific jump mod but you also use an AIO you would want to run
AiO
Specific Jump
To get the best of both worlds, the jump would overwrite that from the AiO but youd also get the rest for the AiO otherwise
Happy new year ... I would like some help vampire cos I keep get kill everytime I fast travel and guard keep killing me everytime I go in town I am playing full vampire need how play it right or I doing something wrong and my health won't go up

@@Modswell ok can tell me what is mockery of life, the beast, wassail, cos I got all this and can't get ridden of it and where better place feed on human
To get rid of that you need to eat, the easiest way is finding sleeping people and crouching then eating them... you can also get blood potions in castle volkahir (the vampire place for Dawnguard) it's the safest method to not get caught if you're not sneaky enough
