Skyland 2.0 vs. The Graphics Pack w/ Landscape Textures for Skyrim on Xbox One - Which is Better?

Ойындар

In this video, we will be comparing The Graphics Pack with Skyland. Want to see which mod(s) you should use for your next game to make Skyrim look even more beautiful? We’ll take a look at what you need to install as well as the bigger textures that each mod provides. This video will help you decide between two of the best graphics mods in Skyrim on Xbox One. Obviously, one is more geared towards landscape textures than the other but I thought it was a good idea to take a look at both together to see the differences.

    Used both and honestly it really depends on what lighting/weather mod you're using. If you like Mythical Ages or Vivid Weathers then Skyland is the way to go. If you prefer Obsidian, Cathedral or CoT then you're more likely appreciate the crisp and detailed nature of Graphics Pack. Presently I'm using Noble mods but with Vivid Landscapes, so far preferring this setup and I use Obsidian for weather/lighting.

    I think I’m with you there. I’m not sure if it’s my bias since I’ve used it for so long or that it does mesh (no pun intended) so well with something like Surreal Lighting. I think it’s also different enough from vanilla that it stands more apart from the Graphics Pack. Looking forward to working with the Graphics Pack more. The visual fidelity is very nice!

But the graphics pack is definitely my preferred look for the game. Performance isn't too bad either. The quality of the textures in the graphics pack are much more crisp, compared to Skyland AiO.

    @@francescocapitani9858 Sure. Fair Warning I run this on my One X and this will eat up minimum 4gb or so out of your 5gb limit and is almost entirely spent on graphics. That being said, with a few tweaks on your display and using display enhancements to alter your contrast and brightness and whatnot you will have a gorgeous looking game. Also for reference I am loosely following Tarshana’s Logical Load Order template and I have little to no problems with frame rate or crashing after spending multiple hours playing and tweaking settings and such. Also also, when you do get all of this downloaded and ordered properly, close the Skyrim app as a hard reset. Then start new game. The game will ask you to restart to make Display Enhancements work properly(if you ignore it I’m pretty sure Skyrim will just crash at least in my experience). So I suggest making your character and before you leave the basement(assuming alternate start mod is enabled here btw) do a save or quick save and just exit the game then select continue on the main screen and it should work. From here you can tweak display enhancements or start your game and change it outside either way is fine.

    The graphics pack with assets should just be items and shouldn’t conflict with Skyland but you definitely have that the way I would just in case. I think the conflict would happen if you end up trying to use Graphics Pack landscapes as well as Skyland.

    I'm watching a lot of your vids these days cause I got a Series X and Skyrim. Back in the day I was modding both it and FO4 on PC via nexus but frankly I was overly ambitious and the lack of limits didn't allow me to finish and play a fully modded game before going overboard with more techy and customizable mods that were out of my realm of knowledge and so I spent way more time modding than playing, then eventually I stopped completely for reasons. When I thought of going back... just too much work to catch up, including the change of mod manager and that I had forgotten almost everything I had learned about mod order, customization, etc. I actually think the console limitations on mods can keep my ambitions in check and I'll try to have a more realistic approach to modding it. So your videos are among the most helpful and up-to-date I'm finding out there. I'd love to see more about the possibilities of Series X as I'm playing with the uncap FPS mod and so far it's 60fps all the way for the most part. I hope the console can keep that up when I load a lot of mods on it lol.

Personally I’m not a huge fan of the Fort textures either use. I prefer to use the Imperial textures by T4GTR34UM3R. Fortunately we can pick and choose.

    This is a really late reply but I've used True Storms for years. It is a fantastic, vanilla observant weather mod. I tried using the others but mods like Vivid Weathers and Mythical Ages deviate too much from the original look in my taste. Obsidian Weathers is fantastic though, and it truly enhances the game without sacrificing the vanilla look similarly to True Storms. However, it conflicts and breaks completely with water mods like Realistic Water 2. And I would rather suck it up with True Storms than remove RW2. In short, if you want to improve the game weather but still keep the vanilla style, you should go with True Storms. If you don't care and want to get maximum visual fidelity, use Vivid Weathers.

    The Graphics Pack doesn’t have many conflicting things in it unless you include some of the extra mods like Landscapes. I believe the Assets packs and the main mod modified cities but it should just be the textures (no changes to layout or anything like that). So at that point, whichever textures you want, you can place that under the other. I’m still sticking with one or the other just in case but I have seen quite of few people using both.

    I don’t know if the different versions of Skyland AIO may do this but it may just be a design choice on the part of the mod author. You can try just installing Skyland Landscapes AIO and see if the is the case. The Skyland AIO will be the version in this video but the mod author actually split Architecture and Landscapes so you can do one or both (those will also be the new 3.0 versions not featured in this video).

    You will most likely crash immediately after trying to load a game. If you don't, then it might not last long before a crash. There are a lot of things in these mods that directly conflict. I haven't tried both together in a long time but it definitely isn't the best idea. I would not suggest it in order to air on the side of caution. That is also a lot to download, especially if it doesn't work.

    If I may play Devil’s Advocate here... comparing Skyland AiO (which includes the majority of Skyland Add-ons in one package) to the Graphics Pack (Without any of its Add-ons) is a bit of a false comparison. For example, the Graphics Pack series includes Add-ons that cover Landscapes, Dungeons, Forts, Tombs, Ruins and Ruins Clutter, Farmhouse textures for Villages, Orc Strongholds, the College of Winterhold, Snow Elf architecture from Dawnguard, High Hrothgar, its own versions of SMIM, High Poly Project, it’s own lighting and bumpy roads mods. But you don’t include any of those in this comparison. The same uploader also has one of the few Xbox retextures for Windhelm, something which Skyland doesn’t cover and which at this point I think may even be the only other alternative to the retexture included in Noble Skyrim. Don’t get me wrong. Skyland does cover a lot. But things like Orc Strongholds, High Hrothgar, DLC locations, alchemy ingredients, tree bark, miscellaneous objects and clutter are all things which it doesn’t touch. It’s definitely more compact as one slot in your LO but don’t expect it to be a silver bullet. Trying to find standalone mods to cover what isn’t covered is not so easy on Xbox. If you were to run all the add-ons for the Graphics Pack series alongside all of those for Skyland you’d have quite a different picture.

    TechRanger - There are. It just seems a bit counterproductive to show the AiO, all bells and whistles, version of one mod series in comparison next to another without its Landscape, Farmhouses, SMIM lighting and other things. You’re comparing one thing with all it can offer, next to another but deliberately without the majority of its constituent parts. I mean, it’s a bit redundant to show Skyland Winterhold next to what is effectively vanilla Winterhold without any of Graphics Pack’s Winterhold textures. Of course there’s a difference. One is modded. The other basically isn’t.

    You can download and install it that way if you'd like. SkyKing has changed the mods a bit since I made this. If you want the most up-to-date versions, I would recommend using Skyland landscapes AIO and Skyland Architecture AIO. The Skyland AiO that I looked at in this video is a slightly older version. The new AiO mods will be the newest. There should also be some more updates to Skyland this year so I'm sure that might change.

  • @RaZkOL5

    I personally Love Skyland, and for the size, what it offers is amazing. it's important to note though, that Skyland doesn't cover everything. It does NOT cover Windhelm, a lot of the buildings in Solstheim ( unless it uses textures from the regular stuff from skyrim which skyland re-textures like the forts, some parts of the dwemer ruins, which have a different texture than the regular dwemer ruins in skyrim, etc...) but it does do the LANDSCAPE of Solstheim. It also doesn't cover Fort Dawnguard or Castle Volkihar ( it does do the landscapes though) or High Hrothgar. Graphics Pack covers all this but ONLY if you download the additional assets ( Of which there are a LOT). again for the size and what it offers Skyland is amazing. With Skyland I recommend using some other mods to cover what it doesn't. My personal set up ( at the moment! ) I have Skyland AIO, it's road patch, standalone Windhelm re-texture ( funny enough, ported over by the Author of Graphics Pack ), Skyrim Remastered - Castles 1k ( it covers Fort Dawnguard, Castle Volkihar and it's interior clutter, High Hrothgar, and even though it's redundant because Skyland already covers it, The College Of Winterhold ) Noble DLC - Dragonborn, and Noble - Clutter ( for the miscellaneous furniture, clutter,etc..) and pair it with a nice SMIM ( recommend Noble SMIM ) and you have everything graphically covered. and all at file size smaller than a full Noble or full Dark Ages or full Graphics pack LO ( and everyone knows on Xbox file size is at a premium! ). regardless, this was a great video and very informative.

I don't know how much truth to this is, I prefer GPs over Skyland but I use the STD Xbox and not the X and with the new Xbox soon to be released its pointless for me to buy an X so I have to stay by Skyland unless someone can prove that GP works just as good as Skyland using a STD Xbox?

There also wasn’t all of the add-one available that there are now. I’ll be sure to refine my current Load Order with the Graphics Pack and share. Probably going to be awhile on that but if it’s set up right, every Xbox should be able to run it.

You could get a nice grass mod like Veydosebrom (place above Skyland). Throw in a weather mod like Mythical Ages. Maybe Embers HD. Then start getting some armor mods. Big armor overhauls will drain space but you should be well below 5GB. I’ll see what I come up with in that future video.
