@@nonameaccount7773 Faun and fauna are different words, and fauns don't have anything to do with deer either - a faun is a half man half goat from Roman mythology
This mod list still holds up 👍 Nowadays I swap NAT/NVT for vivid weather since I can't be bothered installing an enb. Red rocks is no longer available so swap for skyland granite mountains. I think I used to mix this with the verdant grass mod but now you have options like folkvangr (i'm not liable if your computer explodes). I also use a couple small mods like enhanced blood textures and artefakes unique artifacts.
Bethesda is a genius company. Make a game that obviously needs improvements in many departments while still offering a shitload of content, story and a great world so that it would become the perfect game to mod. There are thousands of mods that fix bugs, better the combat, better armorsets, better immersion, better actor models, literally better everything. Skyrim is the perfect game to mod and thats why its as alive as any other game. Btw.. Who the fuck plays vanilla anymore?
Genius? No, they are just a lazy scummy company that uses its modding community as a crutch. I guarantee ES6 is literally going to look worse than modded Skyrim with just as many bugs for the community to fix.
I played vanilla for years because I played on 360, never really felt the need for mods, even vanilla skyrim was a wonderful experience, I hardly experienced any game breaking bugs as well.
I'm running every mod he showcased with the exception of the ENB at 1080p 60 fps on my laptop. My specs are a i7-8750H and a 1050ti. Some of the grass and vegetation is put on performance since i saw little to no difference and saved me from dropping to 45-50 fps. So 2080ti isn't needed at all really if your're not going 2k-4k.
You can use 4k textures for very small objects you don't see often though. I have a dragon claw Key mesh/retexture that goes up to 8k and gives no performance hit mainly because its only one small object at a time, unless you were to drop all the dragon claws in one room, I guess performance would start to dip slightly.
@@Vaz_G your card will handle it fine. texture mods isnt really that fps heavy once you download city mods, quest mods, npc mods and armor/weapon mods. i use over 250 mods where most texture mods are at 2k, and the game runs relatively fine at 60 fps, except in some cities.
øyvind vego yeah i already installed all these mods and i dont know if i like it, especially the lighting mods. They make every object glow weirdly and the npc retextures look kinda off as well
@@coolbeans6148 just change the indoor settings in the enb menu to increase indoor light.... but be warned high values will make some things ( mostly lights sources) super bright so use small increments to find tune.... then profit :)
@@daltonmorrison6475 I didnt even realize their was an enb setting menu. I did find a mod where it makes your characters eyes adapt to darkness quickly.
How to Make Skyrim Look Ultra Next-Gen: Top Graphics Mods for The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim (2019) RU-vid Game Content Category: The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. Hahahahahhahaaa you are wrong sir I am here from Oldrim but I seem to be missing a 2080ti bye now
technically he isnt wrong. fauna represents all living things in a certain area. it can mean trees rabbits birds etc. i think he meant vegetation but didnt want to be repetitive =D
And let's not forget how one of the ENB's changes "participation" types for weather...oh, wait, you mean PRECIPITATION?? Uh oh...you hear that Nate? That is the sound of Grammar Nazi SS coming for you in the night.
Those are great mods indeed, I use most of them! Very popular. Although I highly recommend taking a look at Majestic Mountains, and if you're savvy with modding, you can get a combination of ELFX + ELE + Relighting Skyrim to work together with an ENB and a weather overhaul for absolutely stunning lighting! My favorite two choices for weather mods are Obsidian Weathers, and Climates of Tamriel with Vividian/Vivid Weathers patches. And as for LOD, DynDOLOD is simply amazing! Praise Sheson, may our firstborns continue to serve him obediently.
Just seeing all the grass, flowers, and leaves actually move really sells me on these MODs. It's this level of detail that makes game feel so much more alive. With Skyrim vanilla, there's honestly not much. A lot of textures feel fake and everyone's face looks ugly, plastic, or both
When i started modding my Skyrim LE i knew absolutely nothing about modding. I started watching tutorial videos like this one and in a couple hours i knew the direction i needed to go for my (saldy old) PC setup. The best advice is to simply read the mod description page on the Nexus as modders usually have very explicit descriptions of how to set up the mod. Since im playing Skyrim LE i still use the latest nexus mod manager, but there are other mod managers out there too. Using a MM removes any headache of going in folders and editing options, files and folders manually because the manager does that for you. After that you can use a load order manager like LOOT to make sure all the mods are loaded in proper order. And of course you also need to install Skyrim SKSE which is a software that most mods require to function. In any case, there are plenty of Skyrim modding tutorials on YT that will clear it up for you. As for mod version just pick up the latest one from the Nexus page which is usually the best.
@@mancamiatipoola I use NMM, LOOT and watch tutorials about how to install an ENB. Even though i have only few problems with mods, i can't install ENBs properly even though i watch tutorials on how to.
This video is 2 years old but this is one of the first videos of yours that I've ever seen and it's still amazing! I really love Skyrim and the Elder Scrolls series and the countless mods that people work tirelessly to create are what makes the whole experience even better! I'm hoping to one day create my own followers mod that will be on par with ones such as Inigo and Lucien. I want to make something that builds onto the lore, deepens conversation with preexisting characters, and adds new and interesting details for long time players! Your videos have really gotten my creativity thriving and I cant thank you enough!
@@losernob8618 haha finished installing it yesterday. Sadly its shit. The graphics havent improved all that much and the gameplay is shite. I barely arrived at winterhold (2 minute trip from my start) without freezing. (No, i did not get wet). From there on it was basically over. No carriages, no fast travel. I tried to walk towards windhelm but got onehitted by a level 8 sabre cat, which was camping outside the city. Same story towards solitudy. Got ganked by a level 20 ice troll. What tf was i supposed to do? Level from 1 to 15 by alchemy without leaving town?!
There’s a really cool mod that takes the vanilla hair models and gives them physics. The textures might not be better, but seeing it behave like hair rather than a greasy wad of playdough is huge. It’s always the little things
Here are few that I just recently changed to and really been enjoying ... BS-Whiterun 4k-4k Mossy Whiterun Stonefloor 8k Ultimate Solitude 4k 8k Mountains-Very Craggy (really like this one) Night Skies- Natural Fantasy 8k TreePineForestBranch 8k Rapid Rocks- Dark Gray
that skyrim realistic overhaul is a game changer. it makes things you would never notice incredible looking, its nice to have detail for absolutely everything in skyrim without having to download 100 texture mods
4:20 actually what he tries to say is that it adds more pixel count to a certain objects that look low res and with increased pixel density you get better looking image out of it, same as on monitor 720p monitor will have bigger pixels but lower count, whereas 1440p will have smaller pixels but bigger density or volume or count of them resulting in a better image quality or for example a cinema, if you go near the display on which movie is playing, you will see pixels, even tho res is very high, but that seems like it only from afar because they adjust it base on distance from where you are sitting and the the movie playing, and here is almost the same, but while they do not expect you to just look objects from afar you will come close to them and the smaller the pixel count better graphics will be, almost as like they'd add more polygons
@@Galimeer5 you must have an ancient hard drive to take 45 minutes to save your game, I know this is a joke but I can't overlook the fact that it's a bad one, SSD nowadays are cheap and yes, I have messed up my Skyrim really bad, I remember I had a hard time deleting my 150gb root folder. Still hurts me to this day when I think about it
Some mods will always get overwritten while mixing and matching different mods to get the best of both worlds. That's the whole point. Even in the video, he mentions it at one point. The thing you want to make sure is that what you want in your game is what is doing the overwriting. And not all mods just overwrite each other from the get go.
I lost my modded Skyrim two or three years ago when my PC bricked and I haven't played since. I wasn't sold on your mod list until I saw that Sweet Roll. My God. I hope my plebeian 1070ti can handle it.
@@katyananshuman8 I've got a mod list MUCH bigger then the one shown in the video and I get stable 60fps with minor fps drops here and there during intense sections. My set up is gtx 1070ti, ryzen 2600 and 16 GB of RAM.
@@viron6734 I hope this is a joke, but if not: Perhaps the eye cannot detect the difference 100fps and 60 as well as 60 to 30, but you can definitely *feel* the difference in terms of responsiveness, smoothness etc. You're pretty damn stupid if you believe that theres no difference between 60 and 100, sorry
I'm so lucky YESTERDAY I just STARTED RE-MODDING MY SKYRIM SE. YOU SAVE ME SO MUCH TIME. ThANK YOU A LOT!!!!!!! I know you showed the old version. but is a perfect base line
I think you should search for a version of Rock mod that doesn't change the color from greys to red and yellows, but still does everything your current mod does, since darker colored rocks and stones are naturally found in regions with colder temperatures, so the colder a place is the darker are their stones and rocks.
One must have on my list is "Wolf weapons" it turns all paddle swords and axes that would never work and turns them into realistic weapons but keeps the style of them. Especially in VR it feels so much better with those weapons if you also had a real sword in your hands before.
Remember in grade school when a teacher would hand you a piece of paper with 6 boxes on it and call it a "net" then you'd cut the "net" out fold accordingly and glue the tabs to make a cube? UV unwrapping (to get uvs) is the opposite. Flattening a 3d object so a 2d texture map can be applied. And I'm surprised a studio like Bethesda wasn't already making best use of UV space. Edit: the footprints mod likely just paints a footprint shaped normal map (think bump map that bounces light in 3 directions instead of two) on whatever surface you're stepping on. Which is why it works with whatever texture mod you're using.

@@aztecayt7080 Probably depends on the load order. As long as you let it overwrite your other mods, you should be fine. If i were u i'd check the mod page to be sure. sorry for late reply btw, totally forgot about this comment.
Search for "Gone Turbo" or "Open World Gaming, "and "Tech Ranger" they got you covered! The best out of them all is D3 Entertainment, only he rarely uploads but when he does his LO, it's thee absolute best.
I'm lucky enough that my computer runs Skyrim LE fairly well at medium+ graphics. Fallout 4 on the other hand runs at 5-10 FPS on literally the worst graphics i can have while still having any shadows whatsoever. GTA V isn't much better, at 15-20 FPS.
Changing weathers and in-game lighting is the most important. Followed by upgrading key textures like common wood, stone and water. Next is misc mods like clutter and npc make overs/ player enhancements.
This video burned my GPU to death. And now Nazeem keeps saying "Do you get to the RTX district very often?". OMG NATE HEARTED THIS? GODDAMN HEARTED TO DEATH
@@Argonil And even then there's some ENBs that are lighter than others. If your PC packs a GTX 1060 then you're pretty much set. Just go easy on those 4K textures.
Is there any chance you could post the load order for these mods? Also is it for Skyrim SE or the original? Great video btw, makes me wanna start modding again!
newish to skyrim. played oblivion in 2009 was completely overwhelmed and put ES down. now as an adult im appreciating the games more and these mods make me really really appreciate the openness of these games as well.
TY very much for this video, Nate. I always liked your videos because they had a specific fantasy and semi-cartoony look to them just like i would like my Skyrim to look like. Now i see it is the ENB and lighting mods that make that fantasy atmosphere. I was wondering what you use for long range level of detail. Many YTers skip this part of the looks but i think it is just as important. Having nice trees and texture mods is great, but when you look into the distance and see those 2D planks of trees and barely defined mountain texture it kinda breaks the immersion. Thank you for explaining your mod list.
Have you tried the Old Kingdom overhaul it's 3 mods that come together to retexture and remesh armor, weapons and crafting supplies up to 4k I believe, it looks absolutely amazing in my opinion, I think you should give it a look.
@@coolbeans6148 Nah man, thank you for taking interest, I don't see this mod often enough, and it really gives it the classic ES look while adding amazing textures to them
It's always so satisfying when there's a mod that makes the NPCs look more high definition but doesn't make them look like shitty anime characters, so hard to find one of those.
Take my with a grain of salt since I've never played Skyrim on anything except 360 (my computer begs for mercy when it runs Fallout: New Vegas in 2-5 fps) but from what I've seen most "character improvement" mods don't do anything but make the women look and dress like strippers.
As of March 2020, Red Rocks 4k doesn't seem to exist anymore. Not sure why Skyrim Realistic Overhaul isn't on Nexus Mods. I like to keep all my stuff in one place! Cheers for the mod list - it's giving my computer a bit of a workout! I'm running an R9 200, which nowadays is a pretty basic GPU and it's coping fine.
4:25 That door is from Magnificent Riften Doors mod, mod author has done massive improvements to a large number of doors in skyrim and its all Open Cities compatible by default, def check it out.
Ahh skyrim my yearly visit. Its like a culture to me. I play 2-3 month then leave and come back another year. ive been with skyrim for 7 years and will be for much more to come Btw I'm very good at modding now, i just come here to remind myself of the glorious feeling and let skyrim consume me once again.
@@emissarygw2264 thanks! I'm using vortex and I've always been worried about how these mods might mesh together, but I figured I might as well try this list out. EDIT: Is there also a good replacement for the first mod he uses? I'm comfortable with nexus and don't really trust myself to try and learn a new modding website.
@@shadowangel2375 Other mod sites work the same. Download it and import the .zip (or whatever) to your mod manager. Vortex is way less capable than MO2 by the way.
That's why you use Mod Organizer 2 instead of copying your files directly to your data directory. With the tick of a box you can activate/deactivate a mod in case it's broken or doesn't play well with other mods.
