They hopefully never will push out any update ever again, but I fully understand where you're coming from. There's a mod for ultra wide screen support on nexus that has been working perfecfly fine for me for years now.
@@deisumus1 for some reason i didnt need to download a mod for it wich is weird because i did need one last time i played skyrim but now for some reason i don't need one anymore like when i check it is on 3440:1440 wich wasnt possible at first
I've been going through the older Bethesda games...playing some Fallout: NV, Skyrim, Fallout 4. Talking to NPCs I've never spoken to (primarily in Skyrim)... It's incredible how much of a step back Starfield was by comparison. Idk wth Bethesda have been doing this entire time. I don't have much hope for TES: VI.
The ability to install "collections" of mods has made it so easy to mod your game now. Knowing they will work together prior to installing them will make it more comfortable for people to mod their games now.
Collections are a built-in feature of Vortex, a new Nexus's mod manager to replace old garbage NMM. Tho you should count collections are more limited than wabbajack mod lists. For example, Wabbajack can download anything from any site, if does need so. Collections from Nexus can't do that (aside from some exceptions). There's more difference between them, yet I don't think you're interested in some magical from modding scene
So glad that people finally made these collections, remember being very frustrated with the intricacies of mods a few years back and dealing with compatibility and order of installations, etc.
The average Skyrim playthrough (main objective only) is about 33.5 hours, and around 230 hours for 100% completion. So I’d like to think most playthrough’s are around 100 hours. You have played 2,456,373 times, with a grand total of 245,637,400 hours on the game. This equals to 10,234,891 days, or approximately 28040 years and 10 months. Well done
I swear to god there isn't a single one of these mod packs that add good looking NPCs, they either look like out of an anime game or incredibly beautiful and shiny with perfect skin
Nordic Faces, Vanilla Hair Remake, High Poly Vanilla Hair, Authentic Eyes, Expressive Facegen Morphs SE, RS Children Overhaul, Realistic RS Children and that is just for non-beast races.
Somehow I've never done a stealth archer. I almost always end up as a destruction mage or a spellsword of some kind. Especially with the mage mods that exist now. Spellsiphon is a great one.
Playing a caster is only good before level 30 or so, afterwards, the magic is just outclassed by pretty much anything else, though I still rather play a spellsword than a stealth archer.
Fun fact this is actually quite a "small" pack compared to other hyper graphical packs. Look into the modpack "Vagabond" for instance, it requires over 1TB of storage to even install (its a 600gb skyrim installation roughly meaning you need 1tb+ to download the mods and then install them)
One of my best memories in Skyrim is actually relatively recent, first time playing properly in VR, with a bunch of VR mods installed. After a hard dragon fight and dispatching a couple of wolves, actually physically wielding my bow, just sitting down in the grass on a high, windswept hill, and taking in the view. Truly felt inside the world. There were some major graphics limitations, between the game and the Quest headset I was using, but that experience sold me on the future of VR gaming.
I have been down the modding rabbit hole again recently for the past 2 weeks. Taking it more seriously than a job lol, it's some serious work but damn the community is so dedicated and talented it's crazy.
I have a 300ish modlist on my Skyrim VR load order that looks honestly just as good as this. My 4080 runs it at a steady 90 fps using a reverb G2. Difference is I spend hours going over lists , guides etc... to build it from scratch. Gives you so much more control but its easily 10-15 hours of modding before you even get into the game. Still worth it!
@@garagefabroart If you've got a decent Skyrim VR load order you should post it somewhere, idk if you'd have time for that, but there don't seem to be many VR guides compared to the AE version.
@@JustFeral But not USSEP, the most common dependency in all of modding. You have to dig up an old version of USSEP to use with VR and then check that all your other mods are compatible.
@@budthecyborg4575 *Pray that your other mods are compatible. Not very likely and why I keep my VR mod-list around the 100-150 mark (most of which are from the same author/beyond skyrim style mods)
I've been playing this the past week and absolutely love the modlist. While it has over 1300 mods, Panda seemed to be very restrained and only added what is absolutely necessary to remaster the game without going overboard with new features and gimmicky stuff. This modlist definitely rivals the most graphically beautiful games out now, and seems to run pretty well from my experience, all things considered. The Discord community is VERY helpful, so don't be scared off if you don't know what you're doing. While it's much simpler to use Eldergleam compared to doing it all yourself, it's definitely not braindead easy to use, you'll probably want to edit an INI file at some point or use the in-game console. But people are ready to answer any of your questions.
I’m playing Nolvus right now, but every woman NPC is so sexualized that is somehow ridiculous. Does it happen in Eldergleam as well? And the performance is probably better in Eldergleam

@@sw1tched Mad God's Overhaul is the one I use. It's one of the best looking from what I read before installing. Can be a bit buggy though - mainly random crashes, but it works again after a restart and has a regular autosave, so I rarely lose more than a few minutes progress.
just started modding my skyrim se a few days ago for the first time ever (being intimidated by it all) using pi-cho enb and vivid landscapes textures and grass, lux lighting effects and some gore mods for the hell of it with a few other odds and ends for armor/weapons but i got to say the biggest wow factory for me was just getting parallaxed textures enabled with complex grass collisions together and see every surface go from a flat rigid plane to surfaces that actually have texture and depth and see landscapes with realistic flowing grass. after seeing this collection i might try to make a new instance and try it!
This makes me wanna play it again… I hope its compatible w two of my favorite mods that i used to use. I dont remember the names but one was a home mod where you started off with a small camp and you slowly upgraded it into a full blown town with a keep. Another was a quest mod that added a city you could become jarl of
I enjoy the part where the mods don't break the game, has for eldergleam, one day I'll be able to upgrade my 1660 Super, for now I stick with small visual improvements, and enjoying listening to my pc going hair blower every time i boot helldivers and such.
I recently replayed vanilla Skyrim's main quest-line for the first time in almost a decade, and it was the most fun I've had gaming in years. It is truly timeless.
Been a long time since I played the game in earnest but I remember enjoying a mod where I could manually ride the dragons, flying through the air, making them attack. Was very liberating!
The Elder Scrolls series will always hold a special place in my heart and it's awesome to see these games being worked on and improved upon this many years after initial release. I'm beyond excited to see how the Skyblivion project turns out as it's looking amazing so far.
Modding Skyrim (or any other game) is a real love hate relationship. There are many 'flavours' to modding, from horror to high/ridiculous fantasy styles and every version of personal taste out there. The best part is you can build and rebuild as you want; the worst part is trying to get the vision you have to work and all the technical instructions you need to be aware of.
The problem with mods are the size and that come from that you often download similar things several times, like one mod can add new trees, but another mod have better trees so they chose to overwrite those trees with trees from that mod, 300 Gb is like 30 games and it still a old game with just, and at the end it all come down to that you need a subscription to a website to be able to install it, yes it is possible to do it for free but then the combined download time will be around 3 days.
You should check out the Nolvus Ascension modlist for Skyrim. That one is really crazy and really cool too IMO. And best of all, if you have Nexus premium it'll install all the mods for you and download them all and put together a Mod Organizer 2 list for you so all you have to do is hit play. Also, it's not Wabbajack but rather a Wabbajack-esque setup. The creator of the list created his own tool to install the list that does basically the same thing.

@@rspct-jay depends on the specs of your laptop. And i’ve never looked at the vram usage but it’s propably pretty high, and also you will need a lot of storage.
It's because of phenomenal art style. Skyrim didn't focus on ultra realism in 2011 like some other titles were doing (AC etc), instead it chose a distinct high fantasy art style and that made the game timeless tbh.
I'm honestly very impressed that some people feel that way. My sister has Skyrim SE on PS4, and when I saw her play it; the graphics, textures, and hideous npcs, it hurt to watch. Had to run off and boot up my modded game to "wash my eyes" lol.
loved vanilla , loved modding afterwards... i loved adding content, unique player homes and city overhauls.... most of all though i like the mods that improved the combat experience.
It's too "clean" for me. Alot of hyperreal mods have that issue. Textures on NPCs, buildings and objects just look too neat and clean, this one isnt bad, it looks beautiful in some areas. But I prefer the grittiness and imperfect aspect of vanilla texture
I've seen a lot of "next gen" Skyrim mod lists, but the aesthetic and design of this one is my favorite so far. I don't think Skyrim will ever truly feel like a next-gen game. But it sure is a lot better than vanilla.
I have not used Wabbajack yet, but it has become very enticing to me. Because the last time I played Skyrim was the first time I really got into modding, and I spent WAY more time modding the game trying to get everything looking perfect than just playing the damn game. Ultimately, I got tired of trying to mod the game and make it look perfect, and I just quit playing. So, with the Wabbajack doing it all for you sounds more ideal to me. I don't know if I can truly enjoy modding each individual aspect of a game, because once Pandora's Box is opened to me it makes me want to make every single light source, texture, sound, shadow, animation look absolutely perfect in my eyes. I don't think that will ever be possible.
The player homes that some people put out are insane. They're the main reason why I bought Skyrim for PC after I played it so much on my ps4 (and ps3 in the before times)
The only mod pack compatible for a Loverslab modding session although a lot of tweaking and patching but overall stable with 500+ added script heavy loverslab mod and still not crashing. A solid 6/9 modlist.
The modding community has done such a good job elevating Bethesda games, especially Skyrim, that I'm guessing even Elder Scrolls 6 will probably not impress the way modded Skyrim does.
The interiors are trully great but in my oppinion the external light leave something to be desired since we already seen modpacks with more photorealistic lights (talking about external scenes)
I was looking forward to an early night with a good book but dammit this video appeared on my feed. Now Ive made the coffee and reinstalling Skyrim for the 100000000000000th time. Great vid thanks! 🙂
A huge part of the Elder Scrolls experience is loving to be immersed into this fantasy world. It's the sense of wonder and magic. And probably the biggest contribution to that for me is Jeremy Soule's music. Same with Guild Wars 2 core game. Without his soundtrack my enjoyment as a gamer would be significantly lower. Nobody does it like he does and it's not even close, and I'm gutted we won't be getting his music in TES: VI.
My favorite thing to mod in skyrim is adding more magic. After I had gotten to know skyrim enough to say Id seen everything, I yearned for more variety of magic and related because I always like playing a mage. On top of that, I like mods that add essential tweaks for qol in my opinion like better jumping, immersive camera, and changing the goddamn magicka/health/stamina regen rate in combat to match out-of-combat
Certainly looks great, but I still think Nolvus Ascension takes the cake. Not only does it achieve amazing graphics, but the overhauled combat and its fluidity is amazing. This one seems like it stays true to vanilla Skyrim.
Just a tip - you should have added a section to review gameplay as well including separate categories for melee, stealth, and magic. One issue with Eldergleam ESPECIALLY in 3rd person is melee combat is horrendous.
2:20 "millions of player around the world have seen this sight" Me who has several 100 hours in skyrim and like dozens of playthroughs have never seen this sight because I never took that way. xD
If you have 13 year old game thats so good that you have the community doing all the work for you just so they can still enjoy it a decade later is actually crazy. Love this game so much ever since i played it for the first time when it came out.
I lowk think vanilla looks better than modlists 4/5 times. its because the modlist don't really have a consistent style. so like grass and textures, even the sky looks out of place, whereas vanilla is so defined, like everything "Just works" together.
Thanks for the video! I've never played Skyrim as when it released I didnt have a platform to play it on. I tried it last year but with how outdated it was I left it shortly after. Will try this mod collection and give Skyrim a proper go
For the people saying the mod pack is to big and that's why they won't download it. The download is closer to 140gb not 300gb. The final installation is going to take up 300gb
If skyrim is still being played to this day and videos are being uploaded with a lot of people still watching and being interested in it , including me, what’s going to happen to us when the new elder scrolls come out… I’m gonna be in my 50s and still play decide to go back to it 😂
Great mod especially the player models, audio and new music that fits the tone. BUT the 30ish fps on a 3060ti at 1440p is just unplayable so i had to delete what i installed for 5 hours...
Looks like I’m cashing in my “break” from Skyrim. Because we all know, you never stop playing Skyrim, just that the breaks to take between playthroughs just gets longer.
Captain panda does some great mod showcases, and i would trust him to do a fantastic mod list. My mod list is about the same amount of mods. But i do see i went with some more realistic lookimg mods than he did.
waiting for Bethesda to add an update that just includes a half baked widescreen support that breaks this mod beyond repair

@@gibsguitarsI have a 1080ti and a 5 5600x and play on the ultra performance mode (still looks incredible). I only get 55 fps in area’s with lots of trees. Otherwise i get around 62-69 fps ( I have it capped on 69 fps ;)). And in caves you get a lot more fps.
@@woeststijn155 you think my laptop can run this I don’t kno anything about computers
Is the a step by step guide anywhere on how to install. I’m more of a visual learner lo
@@rspct-jay depends on the specs of your laptop. And i’ve never looked at the vram usage but it’s propably pretty high, and also you will need a lot of storage.
awesome, thanks for showing it in fps view, so he details and depth really comes out
whats fps view?
"A new hand touches the beacon."
I still believe that even today vanilla Skyrim looks beautiful.
It's because of phenomenal art style. Skyrim didn't focus on ultra realism in 2011 like some other titles were doing (AC etc), instead it chose a distinct high fantasy art style and that made the game timeless tbh.
😅
I'm honestly very impressed that some people feel that way. My sister has Skyrim SE on PS4, and when I saw her play it; the graphics, textures, and hideous npcs, it hurt to watch. Had to run off and boot up my modded game to "wash my eyes" lol.
I like how they make sure we get the next gen fps issues too
i can’t wait to buy a gaming pc in the future skyrim with mods is just so incredible
My computer would catch on fire with all of those mods.
Are there mod packs like this that keep much more of the original art style and design?
loved vanilla , loved modding afterwards... i loved adding content, unique player homes and city overhauls.... most of all though i like the mods that improved the combat experience.
I dunno, something is not right. Maybe it's my rose tinted glasses
It's too "clean" for me. Alot of hyperreal mods have that issue. Textures on NPCs, buildings and objects just look too neat and clean, this one isnt bad, it looks beautiful in some areas. But I prefer the grittiness and imperfect aspect of vanilla texture
@@oroboros88 Agreed
Jeremy Soules music can’t be beat
I've seen a lot of "next gen" Skyrim mod lists, but the aesthetic and design of this one is my favorite so far. I don't think Skyrim will ever truly feel like a next-gen game. But it sure is a lot better than vanilla.
This is incredible! Definitely gonna jam this out!
Skyrim will never die and I absolutely love that
Here I am remembering how impressed I was at Oblivion's graphics as a young man...
I have not used Wabbajack yet, but it has become very enticing to me. Because the last time I played Skyrim was the first time I really got into modding, and I spent WAY more time modding the game trying to get everything looking perfect than just playing the damn game. Ultimately, I got tired of trying to mod the game and make it look perfect, and I just quit playing. So, with the Wabbajack doing it all for you sounds more ideal to me. I don't know if I can truly enjoy modding each individual aspect of a game, because once Pandora's Box is opened to me it makes me want to make every single light source, texture, sound, shadow, animation look absolutely perfect in my eyes. I don't think that will ever be possible.
So glad I invested in lifelong Nexus premium way back in 2020. I'll be giving this a go.
I didn’t know that was an option! Curious if you recall how much it costs
@@ImOnMy116It was like 70$ , too bad I didn't have the money at the time
@@ImOnMy116 pretty sure they don't offer that anymore sadly
@@SilentProtahh that’s too bad, I probably spent more trying to get mods working for Skyrim back in the day than I did actually playing. It was fun!
@@ImOnMy116 yeah I still mod without premium it’s not bad, you get used to it
The player homes that some people put out are insane. They're the main reason why I bought Skyrim for PC after I played it so much on my ps4 (and ps3 in the before times)
300GB for the modded game. How did they manage to put 3 warzones into Skyrim for a visual update?
I've never played Skyrim and I'm excited that I'll be able to experience it firsthand with such a high fidelity graphics mod.
The only mod pack compatible for a Loverslab modding session although a lot of tweaking and patching but overall stable with 500+ added script heavy loverslab mod and still not crashing. A solid 6/9 modlist.
Need moving trees and foliage. Effected by wind, weather, DRAGONS, npcs and players.
The modding community has done such a good job elevating Bethesda games, especially Skyrim, that I'm guessing even Elder Scrolls 6 will probably not impress the way modded Skyrim does.
I gotta appreciate the time and dedication people take into making builds
The interiors are trully great but in my oppinion the external light leave something to be desired since we already seen modpacks with more photorealistic lights (talking about external scenes)
I hope Eldergleam comes to Skyrim VR
I was looking forward to an early night with a good book but dammit this video appeared on my feed. Now Ive made the coffee and reinstalling Skyrim for the 100000000000000th time. Great vid thanks! 🙂
A huge part of the Elder Scrolls experience is loving to be immersed into this fantasy world. It's the sense of wonder and magic. And probably the biggest contribution to that for me is Jeremy Soule's music. Same with Guild Wars 2 core game. Without his soundtrack my enjoyment as a gamer would be significantly lower. Nobody does it like he does and it's not even close, and I'm gutted we won't be getting his music in TES: VI.
God tier modding skills, holy crap. Mine falls apart if I sneeze any time I go over 200ish mods.
Would highly recommend the Nolvus mod list as well.
Id always add taller fuller grass and volumetric clouds and weather. It really filled the environment out nicely
These modpacks are a great reference for Bethesda making TES VI. Honestly, if they can't even top this, that would just be embarrassing
My favorite thing to mod in skyrim is adding more magic. After I had gotten to know skyrim enough to say Id seen everything, I yearned for more variety of magic and related because I always like playing a mage. On top of that, I like mods that add essential tweaks for qol in my opinion like better jumping, immersive camera, and changing the goddamn magicka/health/stamina regen rate in combat to match out-of-combat
Certainly looks great, but I still think Nolvus Ascension takes the cake. Not only does it achieve amazing graphics, but the overhauled combat and its fluidity is amazing. This one seems like it stays true to vanilla Skyrim.
only 300 gigs i got so happy when you said that. i was preparing for almost 1tb
Just a tip - you should have added a section to review gameplay as well including separate categories for melee, stealth, and magic. One issue with Eldergleam ESPECIALLY in 3rd person is melee combat is horrendous.
Mods have made Skyrim look like this since 2015
It just looks like the first time i played this game, 13 years ago...
This honestly looks like Elder scrolls if its was in middle earth
2:20 "millions of player around the world have seen this sight"
Me who has several 100 hours in skyrim and like dozens of playthroughs have never seen this sight because I never took that way. xD
Reminds me of why I saw the oblivion trailers for the first time, the prison demo showed crazy visuals for the time.
If you have 13 year old game thats so good that you have the community doing all the work for you just so they can still enjoy it a decade later is actually crazy. Love this game so much ever since i played it for the first time when it came out.
I lowk think vanilla looks better than modlists 4/5 times. its because the modlist don't really have a consistent style. so like grass and textures, even the sky looks out of place, whereas vanilla is so defined, like everything "Just works" together.
Thanks for the video! I've never played Skyrim as when it released I didnt have a platform to play it on. I tried it last year but with how outdated it was I left it shortly after. Will try this mod collection and give Skyrim a proper go
This is how the game looks like originally when you play it for the first time
For the people saying the mod pack is to big and that's why they won't download it. The download is closer to 140gb not 300gb. The final installation is going to take up 300gb
1:40 ... "Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise " ... pardon me i got carried away :)
If skyrim is still being played to this day and videos are being uploaded with a lot of people still watching and being interested in it , including me, what’s going to happen to us when the new elder scrolls come out… I’m gonna be in my 50s and still play decide to go back to it 😂
Now skyblivion is already going to blow me away anyway but imagine having these mods applied to that too when it releases 🤯
Would be cool if they do a next gen update that doesn’t add any next gen features other than 60fps
What do you mean? The game is 60fps on pc and on series s/x and ps5
@@vanardnb I’m pissed about that fallout update brother
@@prauwnsauce aha sarcasm, apologies, it is early where i live
Great mod especially the player models, audio and new music that fits the tone. BUT the 30ish fps on a 3060ti at 1440p is just unplayable so i had to delete what i installed for 5 hours...
Me: "This looks nice, I might have to-"
My GPU: "Don't you fucking dare"
This is how Skyrim looked to me the first time I played it
Looks like I’m cashing in my “break” from Skyrim. Because we all know, you never stop playing Skyrim, just that the breaks to take between playthroughs just gets longer.
I want to play it with these mods....in VR
Captain panda does some great mod showcases, and i would trust him to do a fantastic mod list.
My mod list is about the same amount of mods. But i do see i went with some more realistic lookimg mods than he did.
