Wow cheers mate! Greatly appreciate

I have added many mods to Skyrim, a few you have mentioned here as well. It is absolutely incredible how gorgeous the game is today. The modding community are very talented. I will say that many of the mods are rather complicated to enable, so many hoops to go through, and even then, sometimes they do not work properly. It is still a delight to play through the game with all of the enchancements though.

I think the Wizkid farmhouse textures (even without parallax) and Northern Farmhouse combo is so good I got rid of all my town overhauls. It looks so, so good. Love your content!

Awesome list! love the vanilla to modded comparisons

You know there's a lot of love when, with some mods, you need the best graphics card on the market to run a 12 year old game. Not only that but it has mods to cover everything from low end pc's all the way up. Thank you modders! I just started modding like a week ago. So, also, thank you to the youtubers who have tutorials on this stuff. You've allowed someone who's horrible with computers to have a great looking skyrim.

Another well-presented video! Gives a great looking game without being overcomplicated! This is a lesson that I and most likely all of us learn as we mod: "try to keep it as simple as possible"! When i started to mod, I used so many mods to achieve a result that could have been done with a smaller list, giving me a more stable game and room for more mods in other categories. What you present here is a very good choice of mods that make a great looking game to start with.

Wonderful looking list. Thanks for sharing!

Hello, yesterday I couldn't write you a comment, thank you very much for this incredible compilation of mods, it takes a lot of work to have to be looking in pages, downloading them, solving errors, checking for patches, trying each installation option and finally verifying that the game doesn't crashe!, I loved it, a like and thanks!

exactly the video I was looking for, wonderful stuff!

My jaw hit the floor when Vivid Landscapes - Complex Parallax Occlusion Snow was revealed! Holy....Moley!!!

Thank you. I have been trying to build a nordic-looking load order for a while. Appreciate you making it easier.

That´s what I would call User friendly provided mod list with a noiccce showcase. Long time ago that I last modded Skyrim by myself without Wabbajack. But your pretty list here leet me think about investing some extra time for a good old handmade experience. :D

Thank You very much!.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I'm new on Skyrim Anniversary and I watched your video many times and now I have a beautiful modded Games. I think you have by far the best approach to modding, with detailed technical explanations in a calm voice, very easy to follow. I downloaded your mod list and chose about 80 mods not having a very powerful computer (gtx 1660 6GB Ryzen 5500 16 Giga Ram). Your video on improving technical performance was also very helpful. I can hold an average of 35 FPS. I think it took me around 45 hours to mod the game but it was absolutely fun to see every aspect slowly improve. I think the most important leap in quality was given by ENB Bersekier and parallax stuff. The water and rocks are amazing not to mention Lux Origin of Forest plus Folkvangr and Cathedral flowers gave amazing realism and beauty. On NPC I tried Interesting characters and DiBella Blessing that you didn't put but I'm only at the beginning and I can't judge. I'm thinking to buy a radeon 6600 8GB, Do you think I can increase the frame rate?

This is beautiful bro

Awesome video. I use about 5 of these mods and my game looks amazing. I'm going to try out a few additional mods you mentioned.

Thank you very much for you time and this is a huge help.❤

Many good ideas in here! Thanks for the suggestions.

Great selection. Recording quality could be better though. I suggest everyone try out the following additions to the list: ERM - Enhanced Rocks and Mountains, Natural Waterfalls, Morning Fogs SSE - Thick Fog, and the snow combo Nordic Snow + Simplicity of Snow + Edmond's HD Nordic Snow with Parallax. I also dislike the Berserkyr ENB, as it's too bright and vibrant for me. Going for the natural look the best is Rudy ENB for NAT 3 or for better performance and arguably realism, the old masterpiece Visceral ENB SSE with one of the supported weather plugins.

I wish stuff like this was made into a Wabbajack mod list. Without the gameplay changes, just the graphics overhauls and character model and texture changes.

I am impressed to every modder that made great job of improving Skyrim's experience to many players! It's awesome how talented this community is. This game will never die! Love to every modder!!!

The new update for Traverse the Ulvenvald has the option for some great summer (green) aspens for the Rift. Not sure if they had it before, but this was the first time I remember seeing the option.

Looks amazing. I honestly I’m not a fan of ALL the water being tropical blue. I like the alpine forests having that natural, dark, bottomless look

Your videos are always great, and you probably have the best looking game I've seen. All your videos are useful and I usually find at least one or two cool mods to add. Have you used Nature of the Wildlands? I know you mentioned forest debris, but I've wanted to try it out but it looks extremely taxing😅

Hi yea nature of the wildlands looks amazing but takes too much fps in dense forest areas

You should take a screen shot of your load order at the end of these videos besides that it looks great

Hey can we get a collection of this on the Vortex Collection tab please? I feel it would help get people to easily mod and add onto what is given in this video as it’s a great overhaul!

how do i even install it all? when i did install all these mods i got like 200 errors of missing plugins

W mods finna play the craziest run ever 😭😭😭

So with the graphics mods you recommended, I have about 40 installed. Most mod pages on Nexus provided a specific load order like the Berserkyr ENB should be loaded after the rest of the graphic mods. But some of the other ones either don’t give a load order recommendation or are obscure. So, could link your load order for your graphic mods? EDIT: Also AMAZING video. By far one of the most easy to understand guides for graphics overhaul.

Hi yep I will update my modlist load order

I absolutely want to try this as a base It's missing a few things to be a complete modlist (NPCs, DLCs, animations, SKSE base plugins...), but it seems to be a very solid base There's just a few things I'd change, I think I would go with ReShade instead of ENB. Not because I don't have a powerful PC, but I came to realize in these few months I cannot accept the FPS to go lower than 50, and with ENB, it's guaranteed to have a crappy performance. Because of that, I'd have to swap out Water for ENB for something else (Realistic Water Two is what I use currently), and the rest should be compatible with Community Shaders. Yes, Yes, I know, ENB has more features and bla bla, it's just that I slightly prioritize more performance over visuals, and honestly the only big downside I personally see in not using ENB is that Water for ENB doesn't make sense to use @SoftGaming what do you think?

Hi, great video this load order looks beautiful and also less complicated compared to others. Are this mods compatible with the anniversary edition?

Just letting everyone know that the Roads mod featured in this video is incredibly impressive, but it's not recommended for beginners(Also mentioned in the video). I suggest starting with (Nordic Northern Roads) if you're new to modding. It may not be as advanced, but it's still a good option and much easier to use.

I wonder if you have a mod list / mod pack that you use for your own enjoyment. would love to see what mods you use personally, I've been modding on xbox and have just moved to pc. So when I found you these small collections have been giving me good ideas of what I might add, but I would love to see what you're entire mod list consists of. or if you have a pack made on Nexus. (If the Modlist in the description is the modlist you use for yourself Ignore my rambling)

Great mod list, Thanks. After installing all the mods, MO2 shows that folkvangr mod made Fall Forest mod redundant. Did this happen to you as well?

Northern roads is such a pain the ass to manage lol A lot of work, but it's worth it IMO particularly if you have a light mod list Does it still not work with folkvangr?

after installing these mods, I had some really strange road issues; there would be uneven terrain, some really deep trenches that npcs would fall into, and in some places, the road would cut off and then start with a different texture a few feet lower or higher with the side of the road that cut off being invisible. Better Dynamic Snow was also causing a 100% consistent crash to desktop around the shrine of Mehrunes Dagon. the crash stopped after I disabled it
