Currently using this set up and I can honestly say my game as never looked more beautiful, no pop in and no ugly lod. Skyland aio, granite mountains, a greener skyrim, grass lod noise green tint, hd terrain lod mesh, darker distant lod, natural forces bundle, short grass se mixed grass and clovers, cathedral 3d pine grass, maris flora aio, dark ages trees of the north. thank you for all your wonderful videos. Truely appreciate all the time and effort you put in
Joined your discord yesterday ( Chef Wolf ), you got a good thing going here. I appreciate the help and advice as i am easing my way back in Skyrim modding.
Just commenting to show support. Watching tons of your videos every day now. Its weird to me that you aren't more well know. If you keep it up you'll get there because nobodies doing mod guides on xbox as thoroughly as you.
Got to recommend that if you're using Tamriel Reloaded AiO, the LOD mod is pretty much essential - it solves the few problems I had with that terrain pack, and seemed to improve performance. Still only comes to a little over a GB for the pair, which isn't bad for a full terrain pack.
Im using ps4 pro and ps4.. Increase draw distance only works on base ps4 because the ps4 pro darw distance was already increased in the vanilla game..increase foliage mod is very nice, but it can lower your draw distance, even if you have draw distance mod on.
Hey man, thanks for the suggestions! I have been striving for a seamless grass/lod transition and landed on Northern grass with darker distant lod. I was very happy with this but wasn't that impressed by the way the actual grass starts. Tried this and am very satisfied so far! 👍 I have tried everything, verdant, veydosebrom spring and dense, northern grass etc, different lods.... You name it. Thank you. Without this vid i wouldn't have tried mari's grass and this combo is exactly what ive been looking for! 👌 Also, it's funny but i was using the exact same weather set up as you, apart from volumetric fog. I added that and hell yes its nice! So thanks for that as well lol 😊... Oh and minty's lightning with the MA patch obv. Highly recommend.
Hey I'm happy to help, I've been on the same journey as you to find the perfect LoD for myself. I'm extremely picky so I was really happy to find this one out! Oh you have to use Minty's, its legitimately both saved and killed me before in games hahaha
@@Modswell yooo so thought id follow up with what i believe is the best look. Be aware though, its ridiculously bloated and inefficient 😂. However, I really hope u give it a try and imo is sooooo worth it! LO is in this order and I've only included ground cover: - Flora fit for a jarl (for literally ONE roadside plant lol) - Tamrielic textures (2k or 1k) - Voluptuous grasses (for a couple of bits not covered by mari's grass) - Mari's realistic grass field - Origins of forest 3d - Origins of forest 3d patch (affects size only) - Landscape fixes for grass - Cathedral plants and mushrooms (2k or 1k) - Dead shrub, thicket, hay replacer - Cathedral 3d mountain flowers - Optimised 3d snowberries - Hd juniper - Jazbay my mari - Mari's lavender - Renthal's reach mountain moss - Grass lod noise green tint - Hd terrain lod mesh - Disable snow grass - Insignificant object remover - TLS shrubs and lag be gone - No more dead shrubs I've also changed my weather to cathedral 2021. This is just because i wanted more variety in the sunsets and sunrises (too orange all the time lol) and am happy so far, ive kept the volumetric fog and mountain fog and got rid of the volumetric light just coz lol. I really hope u give it a try 👍. Edit: minty's is compatible with cathedral weather 2021! Also got rid of Greener skyrim because tamrielic textures already has green ground textures. Also added Wonders of weather by isoku. Soz for the essay 😂.
@@Modswell i wish we had more space on xbox smh... I've sacrificed armour overhauls for beautiful scenery and architecture. Worth it but very VERY annoying. 😠
Nice video, I'm using the 2k-1k tamrielic landscape the mountains for me are good as thay are and all noble textures with its separate lod at approximately 139mb witch I think is great and sfo definitive and more lush aspens and spring grass all this together the loads for me are superb 👍 what order do you think thay should be, and with the new update on xbox with the new 60fps is awesome
I'm using: - Mythical Ages - Natural Clouds - Supreme Volumetric Fog - Improved Shadows and Volumetric Lighting And it looks like a far more expensive set up than the total under 20 I'm using, you could save 14mb by removing natural clouds
Hey max new to your channel been trying to get the perfect order for years but xbox right. Anyways been using dark forests of skyrim lite and can't seem to remove it because of the fps benefits around riften and even falkreath it seems as strange as it sounds but wondering if you had any suggestions for mods that pair well with it for far lods and lite space btw also using great cities aio seems to run okay but again far lods are my biggest thing and green whiterun tundra is a must for me
First off welcome to the channel :D For LoDs you'll want to use the Bethnet and search it out. I think there are some LoD patches for The Dark Forests and other mods so you could try those to fix it up as best you could There arent any LoD stuff for Great Cities yet hopefully soon though
@@Modswell hey on one of your previous videos in the comments u said the xp32 dodge mod was incompatible with flying vampire lord was curious if you knew or not if it conflicts with sacrosanct because one of the vampire lord perks makes u able to glide if u are unsure ill have to test myself any help is appreciated
Those should be fine, I believe the flying vamp lord does a skeleton change when it flies and this just confuses the mod... only way to know for sure is to have a pop at it
Your load order file thing is gone now. Curious if there is anotber way to see the full load order? Id Greatly appreciate it sir. My console mod paitence is officially tapped TF out..
This may not be something you'd consider but what about mods that change fonts? I've been using Sovengarde Bold and it looks really good. Especially with paper interface that really sells that rpg look.
Great job as usual. I was looking at that mod the other day but unsure about it. Do you know anything about the fps boost for skyrim? I saw an article about several bethesda games getting a boost.
Thanks very much! Hope it answered your questions I know a little yes, essentially itll slightly dip graphics and uncap the 30fps and allow you to get upwards of 60 without screen tear
@@Modswell I need your help...I am trying to use Nordwar's vanilla armor replacer...I noticed that it only changes the Companions wolf armor gauntlets and boots but left the armor in vanilla mode....what could cause this. I dont have any other armor mods that mess with the companions.
Make sure XP32 is in Skeletons and Ultimate Dodge mod is in Animations (both above NordWarUA which is in General Meshes and Textures) For some reason that can conflict and revert the chest pieces to vanilla
@@Modswell ok. Appreciate the help. I had Ultimate Dodge below Wildcat so its low in the order. I will make that change and hope for better luck. I did like what i see from Nordwar armors.
Question.... I used all 3 mods you mentioned alongside mari's grass but my lod is bright green, am I missing something or is that how it's supposed to look like ?
@@Modswell the order I am using is SFO, eeks renthal aspens, trees add on se, dark forest of Skyrim, and the patch for them all at the bottom, I am using the same order you used for the the fantasy Witcher style load order
That should work without poppins the only time I got them was when I tested alongside bigger trees and project hippie I'll take another look at it asap
@@Modswell idk I couldn’t find it after I joined discord is confusing to me but one question…. Which order did u have mari’s , green lod noise tint, and a greener Skyrim??
The order should be - Mari's Grassfield All Green - Greener Skyrim - Green Noise LoD Tint Obviously some things in between but any landscape you use should be above Greener Skyrim
Probably the best Xbox Skyrim youtuber. We need more people into this community doing great videos like this!
Thanks very much, I'm trying my best

I'll take that as a huge compliment
Another great vid
Thanks bud

I did suggest that at the end of the video for people with some crazy space left over I agree it nice
Im using ps4 pro and ps4.. Increase draw distance only works on base ps4 because the ps4 pro darw distance was already increased in the vanilla game..increase foliage mod is very nice, but it can lower your draw distance, even if you have draw distance mod on.
What draw distance mod you use?
Try grass fields se if you havent yet that mixed with a greener skyrim looks awesome. I found majestic catskill mountain looks awesome as well.

- Mari's lavender
- Renthal's reach mountain moss
- Grass lod noise green tint

@@Modswell i wish we had more space on xbox smh... I've sacrificed armour overhauls for beautiful scenery and architecture. Worth it but very VERY annoying. 😠
For cost my fav Architecture is Tamriel Retextured
But the sacrifices must be made for beauty
You'd nearly need to shoot this one again with the new tamrielic textures LoD mods that got released
Theres certainly a temptation to but I'll maybe wait a little first lol
@@Modswell I know it's like mod came just a few days too late for the video lol

Mythical Ages eh....finally someone came to his senses and switched to the best weather mod in console:)
Haha I've always liked it thats for sure... value for looks... amazing
Which mythical ages the overhaul thing like 3mb or somthing
Nothing else no true storms or climates of tamriel?
I'm using:
- Mythical Ages
- Natural Clouds
- Supreme Volumetric Fog
- Improved Shadows and Volumetric Lighting
And it looks like a far more expensive set up than the total under 20 I'm using, you could save 14mb by removing natural clouds
@@Modswell thanks nah I got loads of space left i got this
Finally LODs explained. So even a dummy did understand 😁
Thanks...
Glad it helps bud
Nice clouds
Hey your video helped me so much .do you know if the green lod tint mod works with skyland lods if I use them together?

someone get this mans the new xbox
Yes... get me it :P
Now with FPS boost feature you are good about performance
I'm excited to try it out
Your load order file thing is gone now. Curious if there is anotber way to see the full load order?
Id Greatly appreciate it sir. My console mod paitence is officially tapped TF out..
Out of curiosity what is the base texture overhaul you are using in this video?
You'd have to check the load order video that comes after this I can check after work
I like all of those mods but I prefer forests of dibella for my tree mod. Have you given that one a try?
I have indeed, youd be able to slot that in here no problem
This may not be something you'd consider but what about mods that change fonts? I've been using Sovengarde Bold and it looks really good. Especially with paper interface that really sells that rpg look.
I love using fonts, I dont tend to in videos but yes I can use them more

Question.... I used all 3 mods you mentioned alongside mari's grass but my lod is bright green, am I missing something or is that how it's supposed to look like ?
It may be blending funny with your Grasses, it is fairly bright so using Display Enhancements you may be able to calm that down a little bit
@@Modswell I'll try that, fantastic video btw :)
Thanks very much, let me know how it goes
Thank you señor
You're welcome sir
Everytime I try to change the grass all the grass in the tundra disappears any idea how to fix this?
How do you improve the lod for dark forests of Skyrim and trees addon se
Theres a patch that helps massively, it also covers SFO
Is it the one you have in all your load order helpers, I used that but trees still randomly pop in some times, is there anyway to fix this?
I didnt experience that, what order do you have those mods in
@@Modswell the order I am using is SFO, eeks renthal aspens, trees add on se, dark forest of Skyrim, and the patch for them all at the bottom, I am using the same order you used for the the fantasy Witcher style load order

I'll take another look at it asap
You got anything for water? I'm using glassy waters though so
I'm using Cathedral Water Updated right now
What weather
Mod you using in this video
Mythical Ages, I think I said at the end... I hope I did, I meant to ahha

Where should I place the LoD mods in my LO? Thanks
In the bottom section
switched to pc... any recommmedation?
You will have a wealth of mods available plus now you can spend out!
Try out landscapes with them
@@Modswell thx g
can you share your updated load order today?
Hmmmmmm it's still being tested and perfected right now I can share it but it's not quite there yet
ok yes thanks. maybe I'll be a tester for you too
Ok gimme a bit
Thanks 👍
Wait so where’s your load order?
Did I answer this on discord with a link to the video?
@@Modswell idk I couldn’t find it after I joined discord is confusing to me but one question…. Which order did u have mari’s , green lod noise tint, and a greener Skyrim??
I download the mods but the grass texture don't look like the video
The order should be
- Mari's Grassfield All Green
- Greener Skyrim
- Green Noise LoD Tint
Obviously some things in between but any landscape you use should be above Greener Skyrim
@@Modswell yeah with Mair's grass field it looks the same thanks bro 👊
All good, hope you like it
Yo what grass mod is this ?
I believe it's Mari's Grassfield all green
I only really notice the water lod being bad.
Use Realistic Water 2, I'm using Cathedral which let's that aspect down a little
@@Modswell Thanks I'll try it out.
bro do you still play skyrim?
can i add you on discord please
I cant seem to make far distance terrain green like yours
You can join the discord server if you like, I do still play but I got massively burned out on the game playing it like I had to
