Hey modders, we're sorry we can't ever create something as good as RDR2. Thanks for attempting to polish our turd of a game. -Todd Howard and associates
I had to stop myself from playing Skyrim because my computer has degraded and whenever I try to play for about an hour, only about 15 min. is actually in game. It's a big sad.
Yeah... So we don't hate the idea of mod creators getting paid, that is why some of us contribute to the modders via the nexus. What we hate is when Bethesda takes existing mods and adds them to a game to make money, like when they took features from the Willow FNV mod to make followers in Fallout 4 more appealing. The survival mod is unfortunately just a mash together of the Frostfall/Campfire mods with iNeed and the survival no fast travel setting from fallout 4. that's pretty much all it is.
Idk, I liked most of them. I'v always been into the bigger better ones like frostfall and ordinator but everytime iv played a play through with them I always get to a point where I feel like it is just to overwhelming. I either end up spending more time tweaking settings or struggling with survival way too much that just surviving the next hour or two is all the game becomes and im too indecisive to find the right settings for me and either make them too easy or just give up altogether. Ordinator just hurts my brain, I look at it and think of all the cool "sub-classes" I could make with it but eventually I just end up spreading out all over the place eventually becoming a pseudo-jack-of-all-trades because there is just sooo much to spend points on and everything is too appealing. To put it simply, I am a simple man. I had my fun with some of them but after awhile it just got overwhelming and old to deal with. I wish he put a link for his mod list though because I want to know what graphics mods he was using and how he set some of them up. I always have such a hard time finding the right ENB's and graphics mods to combine, they never seem good enough to me but everytime I see a video of someone elses setup I'm like "That's the kind of look i'v been trying to get!" lol
When the creation club was announced Bethesda talked a big game like they were going to be making the kind of DLC sized mods that take modders years to produce. Instead we got lots of skins (which there were a shit ton of the day that Skyrim came out.) If Bethesda had made shit that was on the level of Falskaar people probably wouldn't have complained as much.
They are basically lootboxes, only you know what you are getting. Kinda like the extra content for Assassin's Creed Origins. All of the stuff you could buy with helix credits were weapons and outfits and mounts with different skins, and the weapons that were on it were not as powerful as some of the best weapons in the game, which was disappointing to say the least. At least the dlcs were some of the best I've seen in a long time.
FINALLY! Finally a visual character overhall mod without those pathetic babe/naked/giant juggs mods! gosh, this is the hardest type of mod to find. and in times of a constant stream of free internet nudity this fact is very very sad.
I just downloaded one that made everyone look a bit less rough. No babes or anything, just gives them realistic hair and face textures. Really improves the game.
This is an awesome list of current and relevant mods for Skyrim. Thank you so much for taking the time to put it together. Years ago, I modded my 'old Skyrim' for about 900 hrs of play. Recently, I downloaded the 'SSE edition' and am modding it back up with a new high elf mage and this list brought a few mods to my attention that are for sure going in today! lol Liking and subscribing and looking forward to more content like this.
I recently did the same moved from PS4 to PC, it was great. The most difficult part was sorting out space to actually put a desk etc. it wasn't comfortable for a while but now it's amazing.
I moved from xbox360 skyrim to building a pc and modding special edition... man what a difference. like a completely new game, fresh experience and i fell in love again
Heck of a fun list. Thanks for the time and spotlight Fevir :). As for me after a play through or two when I mod I enjoy things that help with immersion better weather better or more varied npc's and the like. Was fun to see what you like but hear WHY you enjoy each mod.
SPERG's "auto-perks" is a fine idea that goes well with TES "automatically empower thing you use" levelling system. But other than that Ordinator is much better. It's filled with interesting ideas and mechanics, it has very good compatibility (unlike good old SkyRe/PerMa for example), it makes basically every skill tree worth investing into and the amount of possibilitied added by Ordinator is simply huge. In my opinion it's popularity is very well deserved.
I definitely can see that. I think it falls into the same place though that any perk overhaul falls into (except made really well, support well and compatibility patches galore) where it's just variation. Perkus Maximus, Skryim Redone, TTRSO, Perk Up, etc.. these mod's appeals are interchangeable and their merit comes from giving variety. What I value from SPERG isn't the variety.. although I acknowledge that for a lot of people just the sheer amount of variety and options wins out.
I very much like ordinator, its just its overwelming with the choices there are, but i do agree that there is a lot of variety in it, and is good for role playing
Thanks for shouting out Yash. I was hesitant to download it because there weren't really any videos on it and as good as I thought the mod sounded, I was thinking, "There's gotta be some reason no one has covered it." If you like games that favor character skill you'd like Kingdom Come Deliverance.
I really enjoyed this video. The calm collected voice with a good amount of information and justification behind the mods picked, with out any obnoxious or loud music, giant numbers or over the top yelling hyperbole that usually accompanies other such lists. Skyrim videos have started popping up in my feed again recently (for some reason) and I starting to feel like a new play through was in order. With this list, I might just go for it. Que 12 hours of downloading and tweaking mods.
Disagree when it comes to Ordinator vs SPERG. Ordinator completely changes the game, your ability to roleplay and most importantly takes previously useless things like Daggers and Frost magic and makes them viable combat options. It makes being a Spellsword actually viable for legendary difficulty. It makes destruction magic itself actually viable for Legendary difficulty without needing to exploit meat shields and exploits. It adds crowd control methods to all 3 destruction elements. It actually differentiates the choice between light armor and heavy armor outside of aesthetic choice. Of the 2 it is simply the objectively better perk overhaul. Its only overwhelming if you don't understand the mechanics behind the overhaul itself. You were never meant to max out your skill trees. You were mean't to specifically pick perks that benefit the class you play.
No. *Subjectively* Ordinator is better. It depends on the wants and needs of the person playing which mod is 'better' for their playstyle. Neither mod is 'objectively' better than the other.
More doesn't equal better. Objectivity exists yes, but subjective things outnumber it by far. Tell me this, if i want to play a character that fills up the entire perk tree and each perk gives him big boosts to his power ingame, but i install Ordinator and Ordinator doesn't allow me to do that, how is it objectively better? Objectivity applies when there is only one thing that does everything and is used better than all the others. Mods don't fall into that space. It doesn't matter how much more a mod adds or how from a persons POV its 'better' in the things it adds, if its not what a specific person is looking for, it is not objectively better, period.
1. You can still fill the perk tree. Ordinator has different versions that give you more perk points per level. It breaks the game balance and turns you into a god but there is that option. There are also uncappers as well. But Vanilla Ordinator is best if you care about balance and roleplay. 2. I didn't say Ordinator is objectively the best Perk Overhaul. I said it was the objectively better then SPERG. And it is. It does everything SPERG does and better. It takes EVERY play style and makes them viable. Play styles that required exploits to be effective are now baked in. Therefore it is objectively better.
@azerty azertu resulte is not an English word so it is unsurprising that he doesn't understand. You can't say this mod is objectively better, you just can't. That is dumb. Objective means it isn't a matter of preference. 20 bucks is objectively better than 10, that sort of thing. You can only use it with mods if one simply doesn't work and the other does. Otherwise it really is a matter of choice, and thus subjective. Yes, enjoyment. What else is there? When you say "better" that is what that means. If you are saying one is more technically impressive or offers more choices or more changes, then ok, but that doesn't make it better or worse really.
Thanks for covering Legacy of the Dragonborn. It is my most favourite Skyrim mod of all time and would love to see it get more attention, because it is such a wonderful mod and deserves it.
Thank you so much for producing a video that does not scream at me or try to be funny when it is not. I liked the low key way you presented the information. I appreciate you including mods for someone like me who is new to modding and enjoying the enhanced gameplay. Thank you for your hard work.
Fevir, man, you never disappoint me. Really dude, i've just went on a new playthrough on Skyrim SE (literally 4 days ago) and i was wondering: how cool would be a fresh new Fevir's skyrim mod video?!
"my tenth stealth archer" LOL It´s so true, archery is OP in Skyrim. I currently work hard to get off of archery by using magic, but since one needs more trees to be effective it takes more skill points and thus more time.
Thanks Fevir. Perhaps do a list of the smaller mods you like? Like the spider web mod you briefly showcased, things like that add a lot to a playthrough and generally make things more enjoyable. Some of my favourites are Beast Skeletons and Frozen Electrocuted Combustion. It's mods like these that bring everything together.
I'm glad that you mentioned SPERG instead of Ordinator. I enjoy the latter a lot, but plenty of people have covered it already & everyone knows about it, so there isn't as much of a need to bring it up. Besides there's nothing wrong with mentioning other mods made by other mod authors. This is the stuff that breathes life into the community. Why bother getting into the modding scene to share your vision if no one looks at it?
Yo! Do you have a mod list for what you were using in the video? I have such a hard time finding the right graphics and ENB combos but yours looked spot on to what I have been trying to get.
I rotate through a lot.. I think most of this was with the Surreal ENB or The Truth ENB - NobleSkyrim textures and a lot of singular replacers. I actually don't use that many graphic mods
Personally I love the apocalypse set which adds hundreds of great new spells to make mage play through viable and also changes the skill trees to have special gimmicks like pickpocket having a cursed septum that you put into peoples pockets and it poisons and eventually kills them, or the smithing tree has a deplorable dwarves auto turret that can upgrade to shoot fire or lightning.
Apocalypse only adds spells, the one regarding perks would be Ordinator, and yeah it has a lot more possibilities role-playwise, but it's also true that both those mods have been talked about a lot, so a different perk overhaul mod every now and then is also nice I guess? I'd still take Ordinator tho
You mentioned the Legacy compatibility list, and how you could create a playthrough around Legacy by going down the compatibility list and downloading those mods. This is literally what I am in the process of doing as I listen to your video, which gives me no end of satisfaction. I'm late to the party, but even still, I'm excited for new content.
autocast. The most important mod for magic which would auto-cast a spell when the conditions are met. You don't go out of your way to cast those 3 spells for stealth every god dam time it does it for you. Sure some spells you have to key-bind but spells like fast heal ooklaflesh, muffle...
The reason I don't play magic characters is because I don't find it fun to recast the skin buffs and other buffs every 5-10 real world minutes. That's not fun, that's the bad kind of tedious. I would hardly classify fixing a bad design decision as "lazy".
Personally I use Sustained Magic. You cast a spell and instead of duration it decreases your maximum magicka until you recast it. Or lose it like with invisibility. It makes it so that you don't have to recast your buff spells but also penalizes you for it.
I never could get Sustained Magic to work for me. Never could figure out why, either. I wanted to use it because I liked how it handled buffs, but for some reason, no matter where it was in the load order, or anything else, it would just never work for me. I'll have to give another shot next time I play Skyrim. Maybe it was just being moody the couple times I tried it before. lol
Legacy of the dragonborn is my personal favorite mod. I never really went out to hunt down all the unique items other than daedric artifacts or a few I actually used. This mod made me go pretty much everywhere and see places I somehow hadn't seen over all the years over played skyrim. Plus, the fact that it gives new skins to every unique weapon/armor that dodmt have a unique appearance makes finding an item you've seen countless times before a real cool experience. The implementation of other mods is great too. I was really wanting to play skyrim again but I was getting bored of everything. This brought me back. Unfortunately after months of playing and searching for items I accidentally broke the game and cant use my old save. I was just about to start legacy again. Hope it's still fun a second time
Thanks for this video. Skyrim has always been my favorite game and now I'm wanting to replay it adding these amazing mods. I hope a lot of these work on my xbox one x
Here is a list of graphics mods I consider pretty much mandatory, for the Special Edition. If you don't have special edition, just search the names of the mods in the standard game page on Nexus mods - I'm pretty sure all of these mods exist for the standard game too. I'm not sure what your experience with modding is, but just in-case you're new - you'll need to make an account on Nexus Mods, and then download Nexus Mod Manager and a program called LOOT. Install Mod Manager and download from the Nexus Site through the mod manager, and install them through there. Once you've got all your mods installed, run LOOT, and click a button near the top that looks like three horizontal lines of different lengths - this will load all your mods in the most optimal order, and also warn you if there are any errors and give you advice on how to fix them. Happy hunting! - Static Mesh Mod is almost mandatory if you want Skyrim to look good. www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/659 - Osmodius texture overhaul updates a lot of textures. www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1782 - Enhanced Lights / FX makes the lighting way better. www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2424 - Skyrim Flora Overhaul makes the trees and bushes denser and way more detailed. www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2154 - Realistic Water Two does the same for water. www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2182 - Skyrim 2017 Textures makes tons of stuff in the game way more detailed, includes 4k textures. www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2347 - Nordic Snow makes the snow textures look way better. www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/670
This is random but, when you were talking about Legacy of the Dragonborn there was something about your voice that just made me fall in love with it and the same happened when you talked about YASH.
Having a base game that is huge in content but mediocre in gameplay helps in maintaining the creation of new mods that make the game actually fun. Also thanks for recommending mods that aren't just visuals or wacky shit.
Im with him on this. It is one of the best selling games BECAUSE of the modding. You can basically do ANYTHING with this game without big problems. Hell, Skyrim can look even BETTER than games from 2018 no problem! Find another game you can do that with (And a game that has an activ modding com like skyrim. Bet you wont find many if any.)
*Dire Thunders your Waifu Ikr when I first played vanilla I thought the game looked ugly and was boring, found mods and here I am many years later still modding the game is honestly timeless
I like this list, not because of the mods listed though, but because you pick your favorite mods and alternatives to the normal ones i had never heard of sperg before this and only used ordinator, and seeing a list that is putting less popular mods that are just as good, if not better is what makes the video so good
Yes he does. In another comment he said he rotated between 'Surreal ENB' and 'The Truth ENB'. There are many nice presets out there, you just have to find the one for you. Personally it's been a long time since I have touched the game, but I believe I was using 'Natural Lighting and Atmospherics for ENB' and was very satisfied with it -- decent performance and avoids most pitfalls the other popular ENBs run into.
SPERG over Ordinator any day. Period. As stated in the video, Ordinator does not really improve anything. It tries way too hard to appear sophisticated when most of its perks have no tangible effect. "After successfully landing a sideways power attack there's a 67% chance of being able to land a critical hit within the next 2.5 seconds when using a blunt weapon that will stagger the enemy." This is of course exaggerated, but you get the idea. SPERG is the exact opposite, where less truly is more. Less complicated perks, more effect on how you actually play.
>Ordinator does not really improve anything. really? its adding new mechanics: bones+altar+skeletons, rats(conj) , highlighted citizens (thief eye), wire + bear trap+automatron hack (sneak), dwarf turret(Smithing), 5 altars, home teleport(alteration ), dream thief(illusion), restoration nuker, etc, etc maybe its less noticeable improvement for "INeedNoMagic" players, but there a lot >SPERG is the exact opposite hahah, sure its same: Blinding Bash 55 Lockpicking, Adventurous Parry Bashing opponents with a torch gives their attacks against you a 30% chance to become a glancing blow (10% damage) for 8 seconds.
Excellent video! I really appreciate that you didn't spend time going over the visual stuff (that we all have our own preference for) and really picked some unique mods that give the game a different feel. I've always been the type of player that tries to retain a vanilla experience with some graphical improvements, but there are some mods you listed that certainly pique my interest and have me reconsidering my approach. Your game looks amazing, I might add, but I really appreciate the time and effort you put into choosing and presenting the modifications that you did. Keep up the great work! I'd love to see some "playthrough" videos from you in the future! Whether commentated or otherwise, it would be very satisfying. Thanks for sharing :)
It's not impossible, thats why you still can cause damage with a sword, but... a blunt weapon is a way more effective and thats why you cause more damage using it
I'm so sad. I looked at the Sperg mod and really wanted it, yet when I went to my console to go install it. I realized that it's not ported for Xbox. Then went to go see if I can post on the forums for it. Yet from what I can see there's no way to post and ask for it to be ported over from my phone and I don't have a computer. ;-; I just wanted to use Sperg. Ortinator is just to big and kinda feels a bit cheap
dude WTF are you talking about in vanilla skyrim all undead and dwemer automatons are immune to poisons and of course you should be able damage to skeletons with you swords because you swords can have the strength and force to do that and especially when you upgrade and enchant them.
It's not about the specific instances of undead/dwemer being immune to x and more that the immunities and resistances are tied to the trait word system. Which have a weird form of progress that you can actually penetrate.. ie.. poison something that's poison immune if you... Know Your Enemy. Check out the nexus page if I didn't explain it well- the cool part is it's all not tied to the creature. For the sword vs skeletons.. in a fantasy game you can justify almost anything any way.. the point is that it exaggerates traditional RPG tropes.
dude Fevir you said and you meant in your video when you were talking about the know your enemies mod that in vanilla skyrim skeletons and dwemer automatons can take damage from poisons and i told you that they cannot take damage from poisons and then you said that swords should not be effective against skeletons and i told that they can be cause they have strength and force and upgrading and enchantments and that this mod makes these changes for the better and i told you that you these things are already in skyrim and the swords vs skeletons are just fine.
I think you are a bit too critical here, while Fevir did indeed mentioned about the poison thing I don't think he intended to criticize the vanilla skyrim, but rather he want to provide an alternative in the form of Know Your Enemy mod. What the mod provide is diversity, diversity in the form of how you approach the enemies and how it forces you to always be on your toe to spice things up for people who have been playing through the vanilla game again and again. Fevir did an excellent job in condensing huge amount of information into a a short time frame that is easy to understand, cut him a little slack and appreciate him a little man.
Well now I have a reason to start playing Skyrim again. I've always fell.. Like you said, within the comfort zone mods on Nexus. (most popular all time). Never really branched out for the newer mods. Thanks for the great vid!

This video never showed up in my subs tab even with the bell on. You might be having issues with it showing for people. Love seeing Skyrim stuff thanks fevir.
Got to give a shout out to “Survival Configurator” It adds an MCM menu that lets you alter the creation club Survival Mode. It lets you alter many values, such as how much “very small, large” amount recovers, and making negative effects set in more gradually. But best of all, it adds thirst using the exact same system so it blends in and feels official.
I like the mod with the new dragons. I agree about the frustrations with the same dragons repeating. The legacy of the dragonborn looks pretty cool too
What I like to do with Know You Enemy- play with Animated Armory, which adds a ton of new weapon types with new animations, including combat staves. I play a Ranger-type character with a bow, and carry elemental arrows and a sword; but I also have a two-handed staff as a blunt option against brittle enemies.
I was scrolling through, but was there a list of mods that he used posted yet? I'm curious about what he used for the 2 handed blocking. Since I've looked into it and some of the mods out there look fairly complicated to get to work or don't work at all.
Your dungeon and road textures look awesome. Could you possibly share what mods you use to achieve this look? I especially like the road textures at the beginning of the video.
How can people bear the menu items not being where they should be? If you want to fix it then go into the SkyUI advanced settings and set the horizontel offset of the 3D item menu to -7 and the vertical to 1 (I believe this is exactly the same as vanilla SE). You will have to do this every new game (but with papyrus util you can just set it as a preset).
Legacy of the Dragonborn is pretty much single-handedly responsible for me getting back into Skyrim after so many years. I'm even trying to LP it. I personally prefer Ordinator just because the options are so interesting, but I do like the idea of automatically gaining a core set of perks as you level a skill. I'm not familiar with the other mods you mentioned, I'll have to check some of them out. Assuming they'll play nice with my current setup, of course.
Are mods for SE finally up to par with OG Skyrim? I've still been playing on regular Skyrim heavily modded but I'd like to have the improvements of SE. There were just so many core mods missing from SE last I checked lol
Your game looks incredible, is there any chance of you sharing your mod list? Or at least whatever textures/ENB/etc you are using? EDIT: The reason I ask is because I notice your game looks great AND simple. I've noticed a lot of texture mods are almost too detailed, it looks great but makes it hard for me to focus on all of the detail

I've never had issue with SPERG it has never let me down.
There's a fusion of both iirc
I very much like ordinator, its just its overwelming with the choices there are, but i do agree that there is a lot of variety in it, and is good for role playing
And that mod would be?
Thanks for shouting out Yash. I was hesitant to download it because there weren't really any videos on it and as good as I thought the mod sounded, I was thinking, "There's gotta be some reason no one has covered it." If you like games that favor character skill you'd like Kingdom Come Deliverance.
How are you blocking with dual wield? I MUST KNOW.
Dual Wield block mod
Your avatar is literally perfect for your comment hahaha, *beautiful*
@@voices4dayz469 Thank you, thank you.
I really enjoyed this video. The calm collected voice with a good amount of information and justification behind the mods picked, with out any obnoxious or loud music, giant numbers or over the top yelling hyperbole that usually accompanies other such lists.
Skyrim videos have started popping up in my feed again recently (for some reason) and I starting to feel like a new play through was in order. With this list, I might just go for it. Que 12 hours of downloading and tweaking mods.
Disagree when it comes to Ordinator vs SPERG. Ordinator completely changes the game, your ability to roleplay and most importantly takes previously useless things like Daggers and Frost magic and makes them viable combat options. It makes being a Spellsword actually viable for legendary difficulty. It makes destruction magic itself actually viable for Legendary difficulty without needing to exploit meat shields and exploits. It adds crowd control methods to all 3 destruction elements. It actually differentiates the choice between light armor and heavy armor outside of aesthetic choice. Of the 2 it is simply the objectively better perk overhaul. Its only overwhelming if you don't understand the mechanics behind the overhaul itself. You were never meant to max out your skill trees. You were mean't to specifically pick perks that benefit the class you play.
No. *Subjectively* Ordinator is better. It depends on the wants and needs of the person playing which mod is 'better' for their playstyle. Neither mod is 'objectively' better than the other.
More doesn't equal better. Objectivity exists yes, but subjective things outnumber it by far. Tell me this, if i want to play a character that fills up the entire perk tree and each perk gives him big boosts to his power ingame, but i install Ordinator and Ordinator doesn't allow me to do that, how is it objectively better?
Objectivity applies when there is only one thing that does everything and is used better than all the others. Mods don't fall into that space. It doesn't matter how much more a mod adds or how from a persons POV its 'better' in the things it adds, if its not what a specific person is looking for, it is not objectively better, period.
1. You can still fill the perk tree. Ordinator has different versions that give you more perk points per level. It breaks the game balance and turns you into a god but there is that option. There are also uncappers as well. But Vanilla Ordinator is best if you care about balance and roleplay.
2. I didn't say Ordinator is objectively the best Perk Overhaul. I said it was the objectively better then SPERG. And it is. It does everything SPERG does and better. It takes EVERY play style and makes them viable. Play styles that required exploits to be effective are now baked in. Therefore it is objectively better.
@azerty azertu resulte is not an English word so it is unsurprising that he doesn't understand. You can't say this mod is objectively better, you just can't. That is dumb. Objective means it isn't a matter of preference. 20 bucks is objectively better than 10, that sort of thing. You can only use it with mods if one simply doesn't work and the other does. Otherwise it really is a matter of choice, and thus subjective. Yes, enjoyment. What else is there? When you say "better" that is what that means. If you are saying one is more technically impressive or offers more choices or more changes, then ok, but that doesn't make it better or worse really.
Looking at this comment thread has made me say objective and subjective way to much today.
Great to have you back on Skyrim Fevir. You have a really good talent for sniffing out the best mods on Skyrim, and explain them clearly.
Note, Elemental Dragons couples extremely well with Diverse Dragons.
Try Project AHO too. It's magnificent.
skyrim i love you
Thanks for covering Legacy of the Dragonborn. It is my most favourite Skyrim mod of all time and would love to see it get more attention, because it is such a wonderful mod and deserves it.
I swear you've gotta be working for Todd at this point, making me replay Skyrim again, Despicable.
Thank you so much for producing a video that does not scream at me or try to be funny when it is not. I liked the low key way you presented the information. I appreciate you including mods for someone like me who is new to modding and enjoying the enhanced gameplay. Thank you for your hard work.
Fevir, man, you never disappoint me. Really dude, i've just went on a new playthrough on Skyrim SE (literally 4 days ago) and i was wondering: how cool would be a fresh new Fevir's skyrim mod video?!
I was just thinking the same thing!
Oh my god I never thought you’d make another Skyrim video !! You make the best videos for this game
"my tenth stealth archer" LOL
It´s so true, archery is OP in Skyrim.
I currently work hard to get off of archery by using magic, but since one needs more trees to be effective it takes more skill points and thus more time.
@Owen WilsonIt´s fun trying out different play styles, but unless one specialises on one, bow and arrow are a convenient method of solving quests.
Thank you for keeping the community alive, and giving us hope, after 7 years that TES: 6 will come out.
Thanks Fevir. Perhaps do a list of the smaller mods you like? Like the spider web mod you briefly showcased, things like that add a lot to a playthrough and generally make things more enjoyable. Some of my favourites are Beast Skeletons and Frozen Electrocuted Combustion. It's mods like these that bring everything together.
Love the work Fevir. I always go back to playing skyrim for a couple of months after I watch these videos. Thank you.
I'm glad that you mentioned SPERG instead of Ordinator. I enjoy the latter a lot, but plenty of people have covered it already & everyone knows about it, so there isn't as much of a need to bring it up. Besides there's nothing wrong with mentioning other mods made by other mod authors. This is the stuff that breathes life into the community. Why bother getting into the modding scene to share your vision if no one looks at it?
Exceptional review of some mods that were unique and unknown to me! Nicely done and thank-you.
Even though I don't have a computer that can play this atm I really enjoyed your mod list. Seem like quality mods that I would like to use.
The Skyrim modding community reaffirms my faith in humanity. Bless you all
Yo! Do you have a mod list for what you were using in the video? I have such a hard time finding the right graphics and ENB combos but yours looked spot on to what I have been trying to get.
leaving a comment so i can find this later. was about to ask the same
Everything he called out in the video is in the description. As for what else he might be using though? No idea.
I'm glad you wrote a four paragraph response to my comment and therefor wasted your time even more :D
Tony Smith lol.
I rotate through a lot.. I think most of this was with the Surreal ENB or The Truth ENB - NobleSkyrim textures and a lot of singular replacers. I actually don't use that many graphic mods
Okay just gonna say this every year I wait to see your mod list and until now not disappointed. Great video keep it up
Personally I love the apocalypse set which adds hundreds of great new spells to make mage play through viable and also changes the skill trees to have special gimmicks like pickpocket having a cursed septum that you put into peoples pockets and it poisons and eventually kills them, or the smithing tree has a deplorable dwarves auto turret that can upgrade to shoot fire or lightning.
Apocalypse only adds spells, the one regarding perks would be Ordinator, and yeah it has a lot more possibilities role-playwise, but it's also true that both those mods have been talked about a lot, so a different perk overhaul mod every now and then is also nice I guess? I'd still take Ordinator tho
You mentioned the Legacy compatibility list, and how you could create a playthrough around Legacy by going down the compatibility list and downloading those mods.
This is literally what I am in the process of doing as I listen to your video, which gives me no end of satisfaction. I'm late to the party, but even still, I'm excited for new content.
Hey any chance we could get a full mod list from the video?
its amazing to see that the skyrim community still is working hard on the mods, so you always will have new stuff to do in the game. ;D
Hey dude, just one critiscism - can you please indicate these are for the Special Edition. That wasn't very clear until I looked these up :)
Motör Punx description
CripTik RaZe oof
just under the video there is a picture of skyrim, just under it its written "" The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition "" .......
Great video! So in depth and professionally edited.
autocast. The most important mod for magic which would auto-cast a spell when the conditions are met. You don't go out of your way to cast those 3 spells for stealth every god dam time it does it for you. Sure some spells you have to key-bind but spells like fast heal ooklaflesh, muffle...
hm but isn't that just lazy lol, it would be handy yeah I agree but not much fun imo
The reason I don't play magic characters is because I don't find it fun to recast the skin buffs and other buffs every 5-10 real world minutes. That's not fun, that's the bad kind of tedious. I would hardly classify fixing a bad design decision as "lazy".
Personally I use Sustained Magic. You cast a spell and instead of duration it decreases your maximum magicka until you recast it. Or lose it like with invisibility. It makes it so that you don't have to recast your buff spells but also penalizes you for it.
I never could get Sustained Magic to work for me. Never could figure out why, either. I wanted to use it because I liked how it handled buffs, but for some reason, no matter where it was in the load order, or anything else, it would just never work for me. I'll have to give another shot next time I play Skyrim. Maybe it was just being moody the couple times I tried it before. lol
I would like it more if it didn’t have ungodly wait times where I’m already 2 enemies down by the time my mage armor is cast
Legacy of the dragonborn is my personal favorite mod. I never really went out to hunt down all the unique items other than daedric artifacts or a few I actually used. This mod made me go pretty much everywhere and see places I somehow hadn't seen over all the years over played skyrim. Plus, the fact that it gives new skins to every unique weapon/armor that dodmt have a unique appearance makes finding an item you've seen countless times before a real cool experience. The implementation of other mods is great too. I was really wanting to play skyrim again but I was getting bored of everything. This brought me back. Unfortunately after months of playing and searching for items I accidentally broke the game and cant use my old save. I was just about to start legacy again. Hope it's still fun a second time
subscribed half-way through!
Such a well made video and a pleasant voice to go with the awesome content!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
What Enb is this? Also, please share your whole modlist!
Lol that's like asking a magician to explain his trick.
Make your own modlist.. ; )
Thanks for this video. Skyrim has always been my favorite game and now I'm wanting to replay it adding these amazing mods. I hope a lot of these work on my xbox one x
Skyrim came out in 2012, people are still playing it. Mods are amazing.
2011. 11/11/11.
I have viewed SPERG as essential for ages. I am so glad to see it mentioned.
How does he make skyrim look like that?
Here is a list of graphics mods I consider pretty much mandatory, for the Special Edition. If you don't have special edition, just search the names of the mods in the standard game page on Nexus mods - I'm pretty sure all of these mods exist for the standard game too. I'm not sure what your experience with modding is, but just in-case you're new - you'll need to make an account on Nexus Mods, and then download Nexus Mod Manager and a program called LOOT. Install Mod Manager and download from the Nexus Site through the mod manager, and install them through there. Once you've got all your mods installed, run LOOT, and click a button near the top that looks like three horizontal lines of different lengths - this will load all your mods in the most optimal order, and also warn you if there are any errors and give you advice on how to fix them. Happy hunting!
- Static Mesh Mod is almost mandatory if you want Skyrim to look good. www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/659
- Osmodius texture overhaul updates a lot of textures. www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1782
- Enhanced Lights / FX makes the lighting way better. www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2424
- Skyrim Flora Overhaul makes the trees and bushes denser and way more detailed. www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2154

first time checking out one of your video's, you did a good job on that commentary man.

This is random but, when you were talking about Legacy of the Dragonborn there was something about your voice that just made me fall in love with it and the same happened when you talked about YASH.
I run away from dragons because I'm even weak in skyrim. I'm gonna go find a bridge...
And admire its architectural style.
Having a base game that is huge in content but mediocre in gameplay helps in maintaining the creation of new mods that make the game actually fun. Also thanks for recommending mods that aren't just visuals or wacky shit.
Holy crap though, i might need to replcace a few of my mods with these, i just dont know which one to swap out. You got yourself a subscriber
I got about 145 mods running atm :D as long as you get the correct patches you could just add these to your current playthrough
Merging plugins isn't that tough of a task, either

Thanks so much for giving me a list of new things to try. And you didn't have to scream to tell about them. I really like your style. Thanks
Skyrim was an average hype game. Modded Skyrim saved it.
I'm just curious why you think that considering it's one of the best selling games of the last decade plus?
Im with him on this. It is one of the best selling games BECAUSE of the modding. You can basically do ANYTHING with this game without big problems. Hell, Skyrim can look even BETTER than games from 2018 no problem! Find another game you can do that with (And a game that has an activ modding com like skyrim. Bet you wont find many if any.)
I disagree the game was average, but I do agree that mods are the primary reason it has survived for so long.
I genuinely cannot comprehend how people invest hundreds of hours into it unmodded.
*Dire Thunders your Waifu Ikr when I first played vanilla I thought the game looked ugly and was boring, found mods and here I am many years later still modding the game is honestly timeless
I like this list, not because of the mods listed though, but because you pick your favorite mods and alternatives to the normal ones
i had never heard of sperg before this and only used ordinator, and seeing a list that is putting less popular mods that are just as good, if not better is what makes the video so good
Are you using a ENB in this video? Looks good.
Yes he does. In another comment he said he rotated between 'Surreal ENB' and 'The Truth ENB'. There are many nice presets out there, you just have to find the one for you. Personally it's been a long time since I have touched the game, but I believe I was using 'Natural Lighting and Atmospherics for ENB' and was very satisfied with it -- decent performance and avoids most pitfalls the other popular ENBs run into.
Amazing video, starting a new play through because of it
SPERG over Ordinator any day. Period.
As stated in the video, Ordinator does not really improve anything. It tries way too hard to appear sophisticated when most of its perks have no tangible effect.
"After successfully landing a sideways power attack there's a 67% chance of being able to land a critical hit within the next 2.5 seconds when using a blunt weapon that will stagger the enemy."
This is of course exaggerated, but you get the idea.
SPERG is the exact opposite, where less truly is more. Less complicated perks, more effect on how you actually play.
>Ordinator does not really improve anything.
really? its adding new mechanics: bones+altar+skeletons, rats(conj) , highlighted citizens (thief eye), wire + bear trap+automatron hack (sneak), dwarf turret(Smithing), 5 altars, home teleport(alteration ), dream thief(illusion), restoration nuker, etc, etc
maybe its less noticeable improvement for "INeedNoMagic" players, but there a lot
>SPERG is the exact opposite
hahah, sure its same:
Blinding Bash 55 Lockpicking, Adventurous Parry
Bashing opponents with a torch gives their attacks against you a 30% chance to become a glancing blow (10% damage) for 8 seconds.
Excellent video! I really appreciate that you didn't spend time going over the visual stuff (that we all have our own preference for) and really picked some unique mods that give the game a different feel. I've always been the type of player that tries to retain a vanilla experience with some graphical improvements, but there are some mods you listed that certainly pique my interest and have me reconsidering my approach. Your game looks amazing, I might add, but I really appreciate the time and effort you put into choosing and presenting the modifications that you did. Keep up the great work! I'd love to see some "playthrough" videos from you in the future! Whether commentated or otherwise, it would be very satisfying. Thanks for sharing :)
Hey it's back! My favorite stuff from the broc man
7:04 "a skeleton has no flesh to cut, so u wanna get a blunt weapon"
Since when is it impossible to cut bones with a sword?
It's not impossible, thats why you still can cause damage with a sword, but... a blunt weapon is a way more effective and thats why you cause more damage using it
i really appreciate you spreading the word about yash
Skyrim with mods Best Single Player Game !!!
I'm so sad. I looked at the Sperg mod and really wanted it, yet when I went to my console to go install it. I realized that it's not ported for Xbox. Then went to go see if I can post on the forums for it. Yet from what I can see there's no way to post and ask for it to be ported over from my phone and I don't have a computer. ;-; I just wanted to use Sperg. Ortinator is just to big and kinda feels a bit cheap
dude WTF are you talking about in vanilla skyrim all undead and dwemer automatons are immune to poisons and of course you should be able damage to skeletons with you swords because you swords can have the strength and force to do that and especially when you upgrade and enchant them.
Yeah true
It's not about the specific instances of undead/dwemer being immune to x and more that the immunities and resistances are tied to the trait word system. Which have a weird form of progress that you can actually penetrate.. ie.. poison something that's poison immune if you... Know Your Enemy. Check out the nexus page if I didn't explain it well- the cool part is it's all not tied to the creature. For the sword vs skeletons.. in a fantasy game you can justify almost anything any way.. the point is that it exaggerates traditional RPG tropes.
dude Fevir you said and you meant in your video when you were talking about the know your enemies mod that in vanilla skyrim skeletons and dwemer automatons can take damage from poisons and i told you that they cannot take damage from poisons and then you said that swords should not be effective against skeletons and i told that they can be cause they have strength and force and upgrading and enchantments and that this mod makes these changes for the better and i told you that you these things are already in skyrim and the swords vs skeletons are just fine.
Yeah it's like hitting the skeleton with a solid metal rod exept it's sharp.
I think you are a bit too critical here, while Fevir did indeed mentioned about the poison thing I don't think he intended to criticize the vanilla skyrim, but rather he want to provide an alternative in the form of Know Your Enemy mod. What the mod provide is diversity, diversity in the form of how you approach the enemies and how it forces you to always be on your toe to spice things up for people who have been playing through the vanilla game again and again. Fevir did an excellent job in condensing huge amount of information into a a short time frame that is easy to understand, cut him a little slack and appreciate him a little man.
Well now I have a reason to start playing Skyrim again. I've always fell.. Like you said, within the comfort zone mods on Nexus. (most popular all time). Never really branched out for the newer mods. Thanks for the great vid!
ok honestly, when he announced the first mod 'diverse dragons' my initial thought was "umm black gay dragons with rainbow flames?"
@Eric Draven ugh.. cool.. bro?..

Thank you for an objective and concise video that nails its purpose!
3:41 i knew when i heard that music play that legacy of the dragonborn would be on the list
This video never showed up in my subs tab even with the bell on. You might be having issues with it showing for people. Love seeing Skyrim stuff thanks fevir.
Got to give a shout out to “Survival Configurator”
It adds an MCM menu that lets you alter the creation club Survival Mode.
It lets you alter many values, such as how much “very small, large” amount recovers, and making negative effects set in more gradually.
But best of all, it adds thirst using the exact same system so it blends in and feels official.
Last I heard VICO had been abandoned and didn't work propperly with the current SSE build. Was I missinformed? Kinda miss that mod...
Hey great video... I'm defo gonna have to try some of these out.. whats the music at the end with Y.A.S.H being mentioned? starts around @14:01
15:44 What is the animations mod that you are using? So cool
I like the mod with the new dragons. I agree about the frustrations with the same dragons repeating. The legacy of the dragonborn looks pretty cool too
what graphics mod are you using? looks amazing!
What I like to do with Know You Enemy- play with Animated Armory, which adds a ton of new weapon types with new animations, including combat staves. I play a Ranger-type character with a bow, and carry elemental arrows and a sword; but I also have a two-handed staff as a blunt option against brittle enemies.
Love Diverse Dragons, never run without it!
I was scrolling through, but was there a list of mods that he used posted yet? I'm curious about what he used for the 2 handed blocking. Since I've looked into it and some of the mods out there look fairly complicated to get to work or don't work at all.
Your dungeon and road textures look awesome. Could you possibly share what mods you use to achieve this look? I especially like the road textures at the beginning of the video.
lol "sperg"
BTW, @7:07 are you saying a sword can't cut through bone? o_0
Is the PC modding community making mods for special edition or original skyrim more frequently? I'm thinking of buying skyrim.
How can people bear the menu items not being where they should be? If you want to fix it then go into the SkyUI advanced settings and set the horizontel offset of the 3D item menu to -7 and the vertical to 1 (I believe this is exactly the same as vanilla SE). You will have to do this every new game (but with papyrus util you can just set it as a preset).
What enb were u using? I really loved the bit where you were fighting Giants and the landscape looked orange almost
never understood why a sword would do less damage to a skellington
Legacy of the Dragonborn is pretty much single-handedly responsible for me getting back into Skyrim after so many years. I'm even trying to LP it.
I personally prefer Ordinator just because the options are so interesting, but I do like the idea of automatically gaining a core set of perks as you level a skill. I'm not familiar with the other mods you mentioned, I'll have to check some of them out. Assuming they'll play nice with my current setup, of course.
Are mods for SE finally up to par with OG Skyrim? I've still been playing on regular Skyrim heavily modded but I'd like to have the improvements of SE. There were just so many core mods missing from SE last I checked lol
What are the graphic mods used in the gameplay? It looks awesome and i really want it. Thx
I know this is super late but what mod is that for those awesome facepaints in the thumbnail?
Great analysis!
7:00 you couldn't poison undead or machines in the base game either.
Actually a good list. Nice one.
What is the hairstyle your character is using in this video? (the redhead one, to be specific)
Your game looks incredible, is there any chance of you sharing your mod list? Or at least whatever textures/ENB/etc you are using?
EDIT: The reason I ask is because I notice your game looks great AND simple. I've noticed a lot of texture mods are almost too detailed, it looks great but makes it hard for me to focus on all of the detail
