Skyrim is just a DevTool with built in entertainment at this point lol. I love this game so much.
"It just works"
Thanks for the kind words! Really cool channel you've got 🧙♂
🐐 has arrived
MxR walked so that Mern and Master Cheesey could run.
I would insist on GOPHER. He is the Godfather of Skyrim modding. He even has mods he created himself on Nexus. I love GP but GOPHER was the ALPHA. A wonderfully verbose Scotsman who pioneered Skyrim modding.
I love Gopher, didnt realise he was a Scotsman though? Doesn't sound very Scottish haha!
@@caffs7777 His Nexus profile says he is Norwegian.
@@Ozzianman
I know he lives in Norway, but he is 100% Engish. His accent is English (like mine). With no hint of another accent.
Not sure where the Scotsman comment came from? Altough my dad is Scottish, so in theory I could call myself a Scotsman 😉
Damn, it's been so long I completely forgot that was the SKSE tutorial I watched when first getting into it, shoulda gave him a mention
He's Norwegian. He even made a video once explaining his accent, but he is 100% Norwegian
glad to see bards college recommended love all her vids
well she started youtube thanks to ME. I was the one in her comments videos where I told her that its rare to hear a female voice and then she agree to make more. I can never forget that day!
She got a perty voice...
@@justcallmedots8339 round of applause for this user holy shit !!!!!
@@justcallmedots8339 Weird flex but okay
Her voice gets on my nerves
thanks for the s/o ! lovely little video
Ey thanks for the shoutout
About to watch your dd2 vid right now 🍻
i've definitely been kind of busy i'm glad to hear i got some positive reinforcement here , thank you
We will never forget Brodual and MxR!
4:32 Not only is it inspired by Bloodborne, but I see elements taken from Berserk here as well. It gets me even more excited for the release of Apotheosis.
So sad that Brodual left
Yea what happend?
@@na-dm6jb No one knows, maybe something in life or they just don't want sustain the channel
@@Ersultan234Yeah, sometimes folks realize that a channel can only bring in so much revenue, and bills and car notes won’t pay themselves. At least tell your subscribers what your plan is before going ghost mode.
There are a lot of speculation on why they left, but the biggest one (which i think its bogus) is that his brother died and he lost his motivation to create content, but i think its because they just moved on, they got jobs/opportunities and wasn't feasible to continuing the channel, since it requires effort to do the camera work in-game, install/reinstall mods every review, and back in the days we did had wabbajack iirc but not as robust as today, also Skyrim was losing relevance at the time they stopped creating content, so maybe it was a factor too.
@@jacobnicola5950 Yeah, I think so too, would be nice if they just told us why they stopped
Nice video, I just came across it today in my mentions. It's a little late, but thanks for the shout out. As you said I did kinda just dip for awhile, but I can say I'm back to uploading finally
Saw the new upload too, very nice editing
Appreciate you man = )
Sadly extended cut has had no updates and what so ever in a very long time,
they are still somewhat active on the discord
I was a former Legendary Patreon supporter. And I can tell you, they probably havent lifted a finger since 2020. And still continue to ask for Patreon support.
I hate to call them scammers. But after being swiftly banned for asking about what their state of the mod is. They're extremely shady. And I wouldnt give them any praise until we see a major tease, or trailer.
Got back into this game again after 3 years. Its still fun to this day.
I think the golden age(s) for Skyrim is just about done for the moment. To be honest, the resurgence of skyrim modding is the only good thing to come out of COVID years. Pre-Covid the modding scene had really slowed down a lot. I was using the same flora, grass, forest, character creation mods for years. Then covid happened and we started getting grass mods every month, we got brand new forest mods, compeley new character body replacements not built on UUNP or CBBE, physics mods, and even transversal mods. The only thing we didn't get was a complete DX12 conversion. I mean I don't we'll see another resurgence like those 2020 to 2022 for a long time. So enjoy it while you can.
How could you forget Gopher? :O
Gamer Poets is GOAT. Definitely deserves the shout out. I would not have been able to use MO2, zedit, zmerge, wryebash, you name it without him. Absolutely top shelf.
Nah MxR was far ahead of his time
Considering he also went into the darknside of loverslab I respect that.
Your channel is so underrated dude, just found you but I will definitely be binging your videos for my Skyrim fix lmao. Thanks for the mod suggestions!
I love bards college graduate, the themed mods she does is pretty unique and all her vids just has a cozy vibe.
Been making my own modlists during MxR era, would love to return when I get a new PC.
Just my 2 cents but I think Skyblivion, Skywind, and the Beyond Skyrim projects need a little more explanation. Skyblivion and Skywind are remakes of The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion and The Elder Scrolls III Morrowind respectively with their stories taking place in 3rd Era 433 and 3rd Era 427 respectively. In these mods, we will be playing as the heroes of those particular games. Beyond Skyrim however, will feature the same lands from these games (and many more provinces) but will feature all-new stories and quests set in the 'modern-day' of 4th Era 201 where the last Dragonborn ventures beyond Skyrim to experience stories and quests in the other provinces of Tamriel.
Loved this vid! Hope to be able to install a good mod with different combat animations on the xbox this video was very informative 🙏🏻
Heavyburns fudgemuppet and so many huge other names have kept this game relevant for so many goddamn years. Thank you all ❤❤❤
Heya! I really liked the video but have to say you mixed up Nolvus and Nukt there a bit in the beginning - NUKT is working on his own list which was originally based on Nolvus but is now standalone. Also the NUKT gameplay shown is from the newer videos which are based on his list already so they dont represent Nolvus gameplay anymore. Apart from that, keep it up x)
Hmm, good point, my point was to show nolvus but I completely see what you're saying
Leaving out wSkeever is insane 😂
u can kind of play some of skyblivion now
some of beyond skyrim bruma shares assets with the skyblivion project. afaik bruma itself, aylied dungeon tilesets and im not 100% sure but i think the heightmap is the same but scaled differently (beyond skyrim is slightly smaller scale if i remember correctly)
This video is what I needed; a Meta of the Meta; and overview of all the overviews. Good job. I am also glad to see your praise of Poet.
roscrea looks closest to content complete and into qa
new north next id say
"Xarope Tutoriais" is nice as well...
Hey, would you mind telling me what armor your character in the thumbnail is wearing? The one with the silver shoulder pads and the black coat? I saw you mention Lunar Guard Armor down below, but I reckon that is only for the gameplay parts of the video, right?
Yea Lunar guard armor is for the gameplay, the screenshot is of nolvus from vektor, which is using Vridian armor for the top paulders and gauntlets, triss armor Retexture for the body and boots and then twilight princess armor for the skirt. This is per vektor tho, not my gameplay.
@@ArrowsandRice Ah perfect, thanks a lot! Then I'll go ahead an recreate the look in my game - I always like to see female armor that looks a bit more practical rather than skimpy. And btw I really like your videos. You manage to make Skyrim look almost like professionally created videogame cinematics through your editing!
I know that you couldn't include all the mod authors in that section of the video but... c'mon 4thunknown is the killing it with the armor mods. Great video though! Really informative for anyone getting into the Skyrim modding scene, or coming back after a long time.
Not to mention NordWarUA, basically every showcase vid shows his Whiterun Guards!
I haven’t played Skyrim for more than 2 years and during all this time I still haven’t uninstalled LE, and so many LEGENDARY mods have been released for CE that I feel bad. I need to download so many mods, update a lot and catch up on lost time in order to be in trend! I really want to return to the icy wastes and run after a Nordic girl with two swords and use cool animations to chop down 200 bandits and rivals in chaos 😅😅
Just installed 1st time. Now to work out what best mods for a 2070super and x5600
This new generation of mod reviewers really is something else, I started putting together a mod list myself a week or so ago and I've already found over 200 mods to completely transform the game into something more realistic and historical thanks to the recommendations nearly everyone you mentioned.
Now all I need is a copy of Skyrim...
😂😂😂
Hi, and thanks for the amazing video! Came to rediscover the name of a mod I saw the announce of a while ago (Apotheosis), stayed for the humor & awesome commumity review ❤
May I ask whos that fire Dragonborn cover playing in the intro?
Dragonborm comes - samuel kim
@@ArrowsandRicethanks, appreciate it!
Once those big mods for skyrim come out, I'll have to try and fix what Bethesda did to skyrim with the last couple of updates. Completely killed me from wanting to play skyrim
Apotheosis looks like a complete reimagining of Vigilant.
It's very similar in theme in concept of a heavily dark souls inspired levels surrounding various daedric princes.
I would personally like to highlight Odyssey of the dragonborn, a sequel to Legacy of the dragonborn.
LoTD is by far one of my favorite mods ever, to no surprise as i love hoarding any collectibles and 100%ing games.
I'm super excited for the follow up and you bet i'll be dumping over a thousand hours into it.
Hey man, what's the name of the armour you have at 1:03?
it's from the black desert online armor pack, just be aware that it requires physics. Sadly I don't know where to find it but I'm sure you can dig it up with some searching :)
Gotha Rensa from BDO Armor pack, its on kiraxskyrim's site
my modlist broke, I dont think I can ever go back gang
Really loved the community section!!! One more shoutout to my girl Koubitz!!! Also the Master Cheesey!
www.youtube.com/@Koubitz
www.youtube.com/@mastercheesey
Anyway, really fantastic video overall!!! Subbed.
Regarding the best selection of mods, redshift youtube channel is my number one pick. I also love Capt Panda, Bards College Graduate, ARJARIM and Master Cheesey for the consistancy and dedication
Wish the sea of ghosts would have more focus. Bring able to sail like the Witcher with your companions.
Man it’s been years since I’ve touched Skyrim and it’s crazy to see what people are doing with it now. I wouldn’t even know where to start in 2024. That could be a great video actually. Do I still need to downgrade SSE to a certain patch or has skse/etc caught up? AE yes or no? are we still using MO2 or has something better come along? Vortex? Anything new happened with merging mods or such? Are we still using TesEdit or is there a new tool? Is it still a good idea to merge mods for higher esp cap?
I’d love a video or guide that isn’t for truly new people (who are arguably a minority at this point 😂, who hasn’t played or modded a BethSoft game at this point?) but people who got off the train a few years ago, know about all the ground level stuff but don’t know where the cutting edge is any more (arguably many of us).
What combat animation mods are u using in the shown clips?
There's quite a few, the intro was jedi survivor MCO, a bunch of For Honor ones (by smooth), the Warhammer is Jormungandr moveset (this one specifically is on his patreon), greatsword is warden moveset, and sword is centurion moveset
And then twin blades moveset for the twin blades swords
@@ArrowsandRicedo you use the “old” free ones currently on Nexus or his newer paid ones from his Patreon? I planning a return to Skyrim after a long hiatus and I think For Honor combat looks and works perfectly for this game
@@joeschmoe5608 the ones i use are from his patreon, if you're hesitant on paying you can either check his vid showcases on his yt channel or use his older ones to get a gist of what theyll be like before you pay and get all the other stuff. But his patreon is only like 1.5 usd, so not bad.
This was a really cool video idea and very well executed!
What armor are you using around 1:24?
Vridian armor for the top paulders and gauntlets, triss armor Retexture for the body and boots and then twilight princess armor for the skirt. This is per vektor tho, not my gameplay.
When talking about the community, Sickliff is also GOATed, very entertaining with great exploit findings
I've been playing bruma and wyrmstooth they seem really well done. I've never played modded skyrim before. So i modded the magic system and ive been playing as a mage.
2085 mods actually for nolvus.... i addee 300 extra mods to it
Much more of my mental processing is devoted towards looking forward to what's going to happen to Skyrim mods than it is to Elder Scrolls 6.
What's the armor mod you are using ?
Lunar Guard Armor
Do you know which mod allows for lightsaber throwing
Jedi Survivor MCO moveset has a lighsaber throw (made to only work with lightsabers) in its moveset and Ashes of war (wicked throw) is the one that throws it in a circle, can be used with any weapon
I mean all we really need now other than the quest mods currently in developement is a dragons dogma style dragon combat mechanic and it will be the greatest modded experience ever
There have been strides to bring a Dragon's Dogma feel to the combat in the MCO scene.
Please Skyrim Modding Community, give us a real horsestep sound overhaul!! It is so 2011 even with the improved horsestep sounds mod... I avoid mounting horses just because of these atrocious sounds.
Pleeaase! Thank you for this great video.
Awesome info hey thanks
Now if only we can get some decent mods that ADD HIGH QUALITY CONTENT FOR MALE CHARACTERS, that'd be nice.
Take my upvote!
Skyblivion is said to be released 2025
Removed boarder with mod. Then add mods Skyrim became massive.
Bethesda is planning to update the game again 😂
Excellent work giving dues to the TH-cam and modding community.
I'm surprised that you didnt mention the Mantella mod or any AI language model mods
Remarkably informative video
So did mods come back from being absolutely obliterated by the Toddler's update? I remember last year I uninstalled skyrim after a creation club update BRICKED the game and every mod I had for it
Brit and Tea Supremacy !
Bards college graduate is such a great Skyrim content maker, redshift and her are my favorite.
Haha, Life, what is that.
I only know Vlife.
Had a break of TES for 4 years now.
Before I watched that video Skyblivion was all I knew about.
Now after that video I fell like I never want to do anything else then playing TES ever again.
Or at least in the near future.
Damn, that Texture-mod download still has not finished yet...
Great video, bro!
I love Mern😊
Of course Dawnguard has aged well, vampires dont age.
Bard college is TOP 1, not only production quality but also good choice of mods that not just new or hidden gems, but useful too. Others just spam same and same again. 90% of content is useless.
I cant wait for ES6. Not because it'll be good(it'll be trash like all Shithesda releases) but the modders will fix it. I'm excited for the ES6 mods man. Not the game itself. Can't imagine what it will be like in another 5 years
Anyone knows some good Skyrim VR channels?
sauteedmushroom. not special by any means, but they do gameplay videos that i found relaxing. i just dont like the usual crazy fooling around humor vr skyrim videos. i dont know any channel that focused on vr mods
Unhinged Degeneracy is where the top of the top tier Mods come from, fr. lmao
such a good video
Fahluaan all the way
preset at 7:20 ?
wym preset? the armor is Lunar Guard Armor and the moveset is dynamic dodge shot
Followed because of the funny voice over
Maybe the day will come when the gaming industry finds itself playing second fiddle to modders who take older games and breathe new life into them with better graphics and stories.! Maybe gamers will be choosing these modded games over new ones!
. . . . . . maybe this day has already arrived for some gaming studios!!!!!!!!!!!!! After all, the modded games do "all just work" !
Oh, and by the way, a BIG "Thank You!" for taking the time to give acknowledgement to the TH-cam mod reviewers. I love them all, some deeper than others, and, like you said, there are some who I ALWAYS look to before even thinking about modding my game list!
392gb is obscene considering Skyrim used to be like 17
Mern’s production quality and editing is top notch, and he has a FANTASTIC sense of humor to boot. Morn also does full blown step by step tutorials while explaining the mechanics of the engine in a detailed and entertaining manner. Throwing shade by dismissing him as merely an MxR 2.0 dishonors the 6th house and tribe unmourned.
I said *some* would call him MXR 2.0, not me, I didn't mean to throw shade at all.
@@ArrowsandRice Okay, when that’s the first thing in your introduction to a fellow creator, saying “Mern, who some would say is just MxR 2.0…” it might be interpreted as passive aggressive swipe. That’s how it came across from my perspective. Naturally, you’re free to your opinions on your own video, and that’s fine and all good. Glad it wasn’t meant as insulting, and perhaps I just misinterpreted it that way. Thanks for clarifying.
The future of Skyrim is also the future of The Elder Scrolls. Bethesda won't be able to deliver on TESVI.
Mods are great, tell they update the goddam game!
Sure there is a game in your mod
aww man no love for the Skyrim streamers? :( that's fine I guess... otherwise good video! :)
Skywind will be the greatest skyrim mod ever made probably. A remake made by modders only for passion.
I have Nolvus. *Laughs in 4090 *
Rule 34 pretty much applies to Skyrim mods.
Bethesda is GRRM, Elder Scrolls 6 is TWOW. Change my mind.
Need some Xbox love on this list, ahem myself
I have both the Xbox and the pc versions and the Xbox version only has curated content right? You can’t just get stuff from nexus mods and put them onto the Xbox version.
Good video, but y'all tripping downplaying Mern and his content. It's literally criminal. Man's barely controversial.
He's not controversial, I just don't like lovers lab mods or the site at all
@@ArrowsandRice Based
Let's all take the current mod community with a grain of salt.
It's too divided to a point where a lot of authors have either taken their mods down, outright refuse to update and even sometimes greedily doesn't let anyone patch their work, or at worst cases, just remove their mods and post them in some shady site.
Another thing is that modding skyrim will make your experience a living nightmare: You need to have a very good rig, have lots of knowledge on how modding works, do constant trial and errors on each mod install since not everything fits together, most of the mods have numerous amount of bugs (referring to certain authors refusal to update their mods), each skyrim update breaks your mods and on top of that if worst comes to pass, your game will break beyond repair, which you will need to start all over again from scratch.
Now to the controversial part: Bethesda has found a way to bypass the skyrim steam manifest ID, forcing to update the game (just so they could force you their mediocre creation club contend down your throat), hence breaking your mods and rendering your game unplayable.
Downgrading skyrim will take you to absurd amounts of trickery just to get it to the right version and even so you can never guarantee if it will save your current broken modded game, i tried myself to no avail. Somehow Bethesda has made sure that their creation club mods have updates too, so if you ever bought any, you won't be able to downgrade those too since they're mandatory for the game to function.
All in all no TH-camr will tell you this. Believe what not others say, but what you choose to believe and if you want proof, then download over 700 mods and experience this dumpster fire for yourself, give yourself a challenge and all.
As for the positive side of this situation, there's only new, far better quality mods coming out in general, each year they get more creative and that will never stop, but that is the only good thing over the mess behind the curtains.
The big projects that are being worked on will take a lot of time to finally be released, so don't expect them to be out anytime soon, they surely look great and give lots of hope for Skyrim, especially the Skywind (which is the most hyped mod of all).
Anyway, i needed to let you all know what goes on, so you all can make up your choice whether it is worth your time and nerves to make your Skyrim to look like in these TH-cam videos.
I see what you're saying, kinda, but you're making it sound like the community is so divided that a large amount of mods are unavailable because there on some shady site, that's not true at all. Nearly every single mod is still on nexus, yes ik there's been some mods moved over, but I only get my stuff from nexus. Second, you only need an insane gaming rig if you want to meta modlists, it's completely possible to make a solid mod set up on a mid level rig(I've done it). The updates, yes they suck but I don't think it updates because "bethesda bypasses it," it's cuz the game auto updates when you boot it up from steam directly, and (in my experience) sometimes that happens when you boot up skse and steam isn't already open, basically I'm saying it is avoidable. As for the modding knowhow, yes you need some knowledge but you don't NEED to know everything, just the basics for you to get a mod list up and running. I personally don't know nearly as some people, and my game runs just fine.
Also most of the best modders arr still on 1.5.97 and le
Skyrim modding youtube peaked with Brodual, there has yet to be anyone who rivals them
Most of tge best moddders for skyrim don't make wabbajack lists and don't make guides or videos on hoe to mod or there content on TH-cam lmao
You can only keep doing things for so long. Things change, as do the things people do to sustain their life. Skyrim is 12 years old, most of the people who had Skyrim day one have families or kids to raise. Ain’t no keeping up with dozens of hours of video editing while kid(s) are tearing up your house. Life has a way of making you prioritize things, and immediate needs are above everything. I miss those guys, but they’ve moved on, as will most of us. We’re not kids and teenagers anymore…
kids in the next will carry the torches
A modlist without ICAIO is not a good modlist..
That mod is kinda overrated
neah...is way underrated by modding n00bs
Sinitar Gaming, Ukrainian TH-camr,also has good information and instructions,but because of war cant do too much now.
he's famous for spreading misinformation and having a cult-like community. i would stay away from the channel if you care about having a working modlist. his editing is pretty good though hence why he was pretty big few years back.
ADHDecent deserves a spot on the community list.
