I swear, this man's mod list is an absolute gem. From animations, to combat, to UI, to models, QoL and everything in between. I've never downloaded a modpack, but I would definitely download his if he were to release one. Amazing video as always Syn.
I'm getting back into Skyrim after years of not playing, and my modding knowledge is beyond outdated to the point where I have no idea what mods are good nowadays. This was such an amazing video Syn, saved me hours of catching up. Combining this with SoftGaming's 2023 Skyrim modding guide has been a lifesaver. Thank you.
This is one of the best videos I’ve seen, with a number of mods that I haven’t heard of. I’ve never walked away from a video wanting all of them until now. Thank you! Your game looks amazing, btw!
Love everything in this list, you should make a video overhauling nords and the dragon born. Considering Skyrim is home too the nords it would be awesome. Keep up the great content
be aware that skyrim recently updated and a bunch of these mods (currently) will prevent your game from working. as I'm typing this it's at least true for Quick Loot and Better Third Person Selection
@@tripalink Also u say "vortex with premium is a way better experience" even tho premium works the exact same way with wabbajack i installed 300GB of mods in like 30 mins and instantly started playing after it was done. nexus collections has a single pack that is over 100GB
should've waited a couple of days cuz the mods trending on nexus right now are revolutionary haha (skyclimb, gourmet and wheeler to mention a few). great vid nonetheless!
Here's what I need. A dialogue mod that stops that annoying issue where you click one response but the game selects a different one. So you end up clicking something other than what you're trying to select.
dTry has just released a mod that will be part of many "Cannot Play Without" lists. Wheeler is a fully customizable wheel menu mod and it is far better than the vanilla hotkey system, SkyUI's favorite list, and even mods like iEquip/Elden Equip.
Wheeler is something I will be reviewing for sure, but as incredible of a mod it is, for some reason, I just hate wheels as heads up display elements. It's just visually unpleasant for me, and I can't really describe why. 🥴
Hello there, i love your mod lists. You always have good animation mods, graphics, UI etc. When the day comes you put your mod list into a Wabbajack i'll definetly download it to have a solid modded base i can tweak. Thanks for your videos ! :)
Love the video! Definitely looking into your other videos to expand and enhance the Skyrim experience. I know it's a very old game, but the modding community has made it so it's always fun to create a new save file and try out a variety of different mods and such. Thank you so much for these videos! Ps. What is the mod for the diving animation in time 8:00 ?
I like the must have mods you showcased. But, damn, Mr Witcher guy looks freaking spectacular 😁 great video, as always. Hope you and the family are doing well. ✌🏻
Note that quickloot results in instant crash on start so dont use it unless you use 1.5 or something. If you go to quickloot EE page, posts you can find a link to a replacement DLL for quickloot EE (NOT RE) Seems to work on current version of steam skyrim as of this comment.
This game really is the gift that keeps on giving. I'll happily stick with it for as long as Bethesda takes to release ESO VI, but the mods keep giving them such a massive and growing bra to fill.
From the minute 6:30 I was only interested in how to get these look and animations, i suppose it was a variation of tk dodge mod and something else for the archery. And that make up on your vampire character, could you tell from which mod is? And also about equipment: How do you display everything and animate? Long time ago I used Dual Sheath Redux which was hard to make working wuth all that patching and stuff like that, is there a new convenient mod for that? A lot of questions but thanks for the video
You guys adding mods to this game make it seem so easy. I only played fallout games, never stepped into modding, I just bought this game and am struggling to figure out how to mod. I might go back and play my old fallout games nodded for once though.
Personally my favourite mod is Reputation you start off unknown and all the choices and quests you complete you become a hero everyone respects or if you do DB and TG you become neutral if you are an evil character you become a murderer everyone is afraid and runs from you, i love this mod always in my load order
Your character is a knockout, would you consider a preset and the pre-requisites to get it as it is? what armor does she wear?, very lore friendly.. I discover your channel today and I'm very pleased.
Another great mod list showcase! Thank you! I was wondering about the difference between Alternate Camera and JaySerpa's new mod, your demo showed clearly why I'd want both. Thanks, Syn! Be well!
Just getting back into Skyrim after years of taking a break. So happy to have found your channel, your content is extremely well thought-out and edited and I look forward to using all these mods and a few more from your other videos! Helps cut down how overwhelming choosing mods can be coming back after such a long hiatus
I am running CAO right now with 1k mods for a new playthrough, gonna take a minute lol You're vid showed up as recommended... MIA.. that's a new one I hadn't seen yet.. so THANK YOU for the IA update I needed :)
These are all amazing. But I always wonder if there's a rebalance mod where stealth archer isn't hopelessly broken and Dragon's can be fought without Archery.
8:55 big no to Immersive HUD It is an outdated mod with such a big script bloat that the moment I removed it, I gained 4 FPS back. It accounted for 40% of all my scripts.
Strange. Personally never encountered any issues. I like minimalistic HUDs when playing in first person, hence my recommendation. iHUD has been in my LO for almost 7 years without any issues.
Not gonna lie mate. Your game makes me feels like I'm watching vindictus + black desert + blade and soul... such a neat looking overhaul graphic you got. Mine telling your setups? also, see for the Untanished UI, can i use that with True HUD that i currently have? or i need to download the Sky HUD still? thanks!
Hey how did you get the health to dynamically display above the enemies ? I've watched other videos of yours and have almost all the same mods in your description (all of the UI mods) so I was confused why my enemies didn't have similar health bars ?
Amazing video, helped me a lot to modify my own game. Especially the part with Alternate conversation camera catched my eye. I tried to set it to be similar to the one in the video but failed. Would you mind to give me a guide to set it?
Do you have a mod list order of all your mods by chance? I know I’m late to the game here but I’m coming over From playing Skyrim on PS (frustrated with the mod system there) and have no clue what I’m doing lol. I will have to use a controller for sure. But I’m not sure what order these mods need to be in let alone other mods Oh and thank you for such a detailed/informative video!! I love every single one over these 😊
Great video. What mod is that physics enabled hair from in the middle and end of the video? White mail hair. I have been searching high and low for good male, physics enabled hairs to no avail.
Interesting video like always sir ❤❤ but if I'm not mistaken your character was speaking with his voice when selecting dialogues, what is that voice mod called?
I feel like some of the UI elements could have used the original font. And the character page UI would look better if they used the original bar shapes for the skills
I play on Best Of Both Worlds. It's a patch that allows you to take advantage of all the AE content, while downgrading the .exe to 1.5.97. I will make a video about this soonish as a minor PSA, as it seems a lot of people are unaware about this still.
How do you go about changing your gameplay mods (specifically combat mods) mid playthrough for your videos? Do you have different saves that you use. In other words, how do you show different combat mods over time without starting the game over?
Got a thumbs up despite most being useless for me as I play in VR. I personally hate certain grinding and management systems. I also don't care for extreme survivalistic mods that increase the grind. I like to play the story and have to a some challenge. My base necessities are auto lock picking, unlimited sprinting, unlimited carry weight, and another mod to ask again each time I "steal" something because I often intend to try to interact with someone but have accidentally stolen something instead leading to problems.
