please please pleaase upload your enb preset to the nexus, everything on there is so OTT and overpowering whereas yours is near enough a perfect blend of vanilla skyrim with some enhancement
Seriously. SMIM had become one of those auto-installs that I'd actually forgotten what it does. I thought it was just evening out edges as in the beginning of the showcase. I didn't remember the hideousness that followed at all.
can anyone believe this will be my first time playing skyrim SE modded. i played the original multiple times on console and pc before finally deciding to try and start to understand how to install mods. thanks for your videos
You got to describing SMIM, and started with, "LOOK AT THIS FENCE" and I laughed for a solid minute. It took me ages to figure out which mod fixed the fences when I was reinstalling my mods for Skyrim SE. I spent hours figuring out how to fix that fence. I, truly, understand your pain. This video was hilarious AND informative, well done as always!
Honestly im subbing just because of your personality, the "writing" in this was fucking hilarious and had me rolling, im not a big youtube watcher ever but this was pure gold for one of the 7 vids in a year i watch
I’ve got to thank you because I did not know skse backup even existed until today from your video and my god that’s gonna save me from one hell of a headache in the future knowing I can just revert to an older version and just game away on what is still my favourite RPG even after all these years and subsequent releases of it.
8:20 SMIM is my number 1 visual mod, but the author forgot to add a third dimension to that sign. A 2D sign held by 3D chains. Now I can't unsee that. 13:57 To anyone showcasing visual mods: This is how you do it. Our brains work by perceiving contrasts. The more contrasts you show, the better our brains detect the difference, especially when there are only subtle changes. ABABAB is far better than the usual AB.
@@fakesummer3942 so the website where you install enbseries? so just use that and then turn on ssao? what's the difference between enb AO and skyrims AO?
@@flute136 The difference in the AO would be the application/appearance. LE has AO built in, but non-LE does not, so really it'd depend on what version you have and if you like the native AO in LE or not. Just like with most graphical settings, AO can look different based on its values and the method by which it is applied.
Fellow Pure Waters user here! Totally a personal preference thing, but I always preferred it to Realistic Water. Gopher even reviewed it here th-cam.com/video/HtlMWf6nw-Q/w-d-xo.html and used it as his default for a while.(Warning, older video of his using Oldrim I believe)
So after 4 years of playing last play through of Skyrim on and off and again not finishing it, I am looking for mods for SSE, yea I never thought I would want to buy SSE! Of course I look for a few people who do amazing coverage of mods. First thing I notice of Mr Gopher is that his style of talking has changed! You are more excited than before. Its not bad, I am just like wait, what happened to calm voiced Gopher! When did this change come across! Hahahaha. Still as always loving the content. Thanks for making content like this so we can figure out which ones to install! AR
Well this is coming in rather handy, I just picked up SE in the Lunar Year Sale on Steam and got to modding it, mostly used your modlist to see what mods I might want to install.
Re: ENB mod, I started playing Skyrim again for the first time in years, and the first thing I noticed was how neither my mage's fire nor candle spells gave off any actual light. I am so glad I found this video :)
Till now I've been feeling something was wrong with the appearance of the game, but I couldn't understand what. Now I know. Now I know how to improve graphically my games. Thanks Gopher, that's what I've been missing.
If Gopher doesn't upload his preset, I'd recommend "The Truth." It's fairly light, and doesn't try to take centre stage. Though, I'd also love for Gopher to share his ENB if he felt so inclined. :)
This comment is un related to this video I just wanted to say to Gopher thank you for the content you make, lately life has been treating me like shit but I know I can always watch one of your video's and find myself smiling so thank you.
I was on the fence with Majestic Mountains, but you have convinced me. And apparently I also need to learn how to install dyndolod now...and also to look at ENB stuff rather than just ELFX.
Yeah, you convinced me, I need an ENB. I already have SMIM and RW2 and I had some issues with the terrain mods so I'm not dealing with them, but the ENB seems vital now that I've seen it.
I agree with your take on improving graphics like mountains. The "games" I hold in the highest regard are ones that draw me back to "visit". I made important personal decisions that affected my real life while visiting the peacefulness of my special spot in Skyrim. It beat paying hundred to drive out to Colorado just to ponder the meaning of life...
Appreciate the warning at start of video :) That was more or less my top 5 Essential mods. For ENB i think i used Climates of Tamriel and Realistic Lighting Overhaul. (Combined with Frostfall=
Thank you for this video. I just began modding today and I am very particular about not changing the tone and feel of the game. There are some mods I've looked at that, while they are great looking, they change things rather than improve them. I actually like everything you showed in this video, and I already use that water mod. Only thing I disagree with is the fence. Yes, the SMIM fence looks great and real, but it completely changes it. I'd prefer it if the original thatching was kept, but it's a small sacrifice.
This video brought back such fond memories of watching Gopher's Modding Tutorials years ago and listening to him rant and rave about rope, fence, and sign textures! :) I thought he was a little mad then, since I didn't see how those things really affected gameplay. Now, I just can't play without SMIM. Once you really SEE those ugly vanilla textures, you can't UNSEE them!
Honestly these videos couldn't have come at a better time. I have been away from my computer for some time, and feel that as a result I became disconnected from my current play through. I find many of my preferences to be the same as Gopher's when it comes to mods, and am going to do a hard reset on my mod list (more than one reason for that).
Great thank you for this video and great thanks so funny, and to the modding community. Without mods I would never have finished the game. It indeed looks aweful without mods. But with mods, ENB and reshade, man this is so awesome. Never played this game without mods for 1 hour. With all the mods, a few hundred hours. My favorite!!
Had me laughing! Please upload your ENB preset. I've always been a bit overwhelmed by them but I like how yours is basically just a vanilla + look. very realistic.
Incredible Mods! I am a Detail Lover Like U so If i could Install this Mods i would. Always am stunned when i watch your Let's Play how beautiful it looks
That's a very fency fence! I really really like your ENB though, next playthrough I'll use it. It's just so simple and clean. I don't need over the top sun flares, or crazy DoF
Ok you've done it you inspired me to start modding & playing skyrim again, damn xD. Also Modding is part of skyrim, it's just a fact. It's also insanely fun and a game in of itself.
i would add imaginator to this list as well. The oldrim mcm version works perfectly fine with special edition and it lets you adjust saturation contrast to give skyrim a less washed out look without the need for an enb which basically just means prettier game without the performance hit or better yet it lets you fix that damn overblown face lighting when your character is facing the sun
BLOOOOODY MAAASSSIVE ! Made me laugh so much. 2020 and Gopher still doing "top Skyrim mods" :D. Man I cannot wait for TES 6 but on the other hand, super scared of Bethesda's quality atm. Starfield will be the test for that quality.
ENB is super performance-heavy, but the particle light effect makes it super worth it. It’s ridiculous how impactful a little change like that can be to your immersion. One thing I wish ENB also did was add in better anti aliasing. I’ve noticed that shimmer is horrific when one has an ENB installed, even compared to vanilla Skyrim.
What some people may not realize - you dont need to look closely to chain or fence to see...perceive problems, many people would just feel it w\o realizing sometimes. Mods like better meshes fix such things, even if you dont look closely, its about overall experience, general perception of the game world. Me personally - I can play with lets say vanilla mountains, but cant play w\o darker night and denser forest mods, among other things ofc :)
Gopher, as someone who has done everything to avoid using an ENB because I couldn't get used to the performance loss I got with any of them last time I tried using it (and setting up the options to my liking was going to take WAY too much time), so I have two requests, neither should be hard to answer in a quick response. 1: Are you planning on posting your preset on the nexus? I would 100% install ENB and use your preset as it is exactly what I would be looking at recreating as my core. 2: Are you still using lighting mods like ELFX or Relighting Skyrim? Or just the ENB? I know almost nothing about ENB so that's why I'm asking.
@@gameroxi from what I read "The Truth" is a good enb, or at least the not super performance-needy light version of it, but I was just researching before I start playing skyrim for the first time and can't tell you how big of a difference it is to his, didn't play skyrim yet.
there is a mod for weapon shapes that has become one of my must haves, much like SMIM, after using it the default weapons are just so wide and block vision. Does little for modded weapons if you use lots of those but it just makes things like swords more sword-like and less paddle-like.
FYI Gopher recent versions of ENB also let you crank up textures' specularity, so you can now make both the environment and peope's skin and armor look wet when it rains (and imho it looks so good and immersive that it's 2nd big reason to use an ENB, right after particle lights).
I love the guard armor mod. It makes it easier for you to distinguish guards from different holds, and I also have the imperial armor mod. Love seeing the roman looking imperial guards roaming solitude, matching their role as central govt army. Its majestic to look at. For stormcloaks, eh vanilla looks is good for them.
You know that stump you looked at during the 3:06 mark? There's a mod that specifically makes just the ants on it HD. That's a thing.
i have 300 mods and that mod may or may not be one of them...
@@subsonicyouth288 It's actually in vanilla, it's only on 3 stumps in the game and you gotta strain your eyes to see them
@@uncleseano Yes mate, but there's a mod that makes vanilla ants HD.
@@MiguelBaptista1981 why am I not surprised...
@@MiguelBaptista1981 I hope they are at least 4k ants, right? Not only 2k? :D
please please pleaase upload your enb preset to the nexus, everything on there is so OTT and overpowering whereas yours is near enough a perfect blend of vanilla skyrim with some enhancement
Omg yes!!! So many are just too cartoonish or too heavy for my rig!
I thinks he's just running vanilla enb, nor presets
OTT? Whaddya mean? You don't like Depth of Field at 4000%?!
I second this.
This, Please Gopher.
Gopher could convince me that any mod is essential
Gopher convinced me that a mod he made that lets your character flip a freaking coin was essential.
the SMIM part can alternatively be titled "Gopher unhinged" and i love it so much. what a big mood lmfao
Im fr dying at that shit rn 💀😂 Coming off his old mod tutorial videos I had to double check who I was watching lmao
best thing I ever heard! needless to say I just installed this mod after months in denial thinking that fence was ok in Vanilla.
My sides are aching, you did this so well especially the SMIM part, "This fence would not survive a determined chicken !"
I died laughing at that part 🤣
"INIGO, LOOK AT THIS FENCE, WE NEED ONE OF THOSE AT HOME, I NEED THAT FENCINESS"
"It oozes fenciness" I almost died laughing with how serious his voice sounded saying this xDDD
I think I haven't seen Skyrim without SMIM since 2012. I forgot how bad some of the stuff looks in Vanilla.
Same here :)
Seriously. SMIM had become one of those auto-installs that I'd actually forgotten what it does. I thought it was just evening out edges as in the beginning of the showcase. I didn't remember the hideousness that followed at all.
I think we all forgot because we like to drown out the terrible memories
Andarus is SMIM a heavy mod...? And is SMIM for LE too?
@@sommerblume9671 It's just a meshes/textures mod, not even a high def one, so no it's not heavy, and yes it's available on LE.
When someone ever ask me why I use SMIM, I'll tell them that it "oozes fenciness"
would you ever upload your ENB preset? its a nice subtle one that doesn't change the visuals too much.
also, does it work alongside weather mods?
@@mavkanal he uses obsidian, so it is designed for that I guess.
That one was definitely my favorite
Where to get his enb
Where's your profile pic from?
Almost not happy I watched this great video :P I haven't adopted DynDLOD. Now I won't be able to stop noticing the missing towers.
Thanks Gopher :P

Gopher, I really really enjoy it when you discuss Skyrim mods, even after all these years. Thanks for this!

As always your videos are really well put together. Your commentary regarding smim had me laughing so hard. Great video!
Allow me to add another voice to the chorus begging you to upload your preset. Most ENB presets are ridiculous. I'd love a good vanilla friendly one.

13:45 What an incredible difference!!! I've never used an ENB. Definitely noticeable.... Can you post your presets by any chance please? Thx.
