The Newest Skyrim Wabbajack Modlist | What Exactly Is LoreRim About? Gameplay & Starter Guide 

This list is absolutely exceptional. The community needed a requiem list that offers survival and modern graphics with huge variety of combat/gameplay options and animations. Whilst modlist choice is subjective and preference based, as far as RPG elements go, this is now the go to list IMO.

There is just So MUCH to love about your modlist! I have worked on my own personal modlists, which NEVER seem to get finished, and usually get discarded because i know so little about patching and optimizing. But I have always had a particular vision of how I wanted my game to look, and I can say with all honesty that what you have achieved here is just so damn close to that vision! I am watching this and finding that it's really hard to pick out choices you have made for your landscape, city overhauls, etc., etc., that I wouldn't have gone with! Your city overhauls are the exact same choices that I have tried to use together in the past, and look amazing! Even your road mods are exactly what I have wanted in my game! "Northern Roads" just doesn't do it for me, and I have tried many times to achieve roads that matched what I had in mind . . . . and you have nailed it! And so many little things, like the open-faced helmets on the city guards. There are a lot of city guard armor replacers that I like, EXCEPT for the hidden faces of the guards. This makes me WANT to download and try it out. I will say that I have NEVER played a requiem list before, and I find that I have fears and reluctances about doing so. It may just be time to face them and try this out! I will have to check out which quest mods you have added. I love roleplaying Skyrim, and there are some mods that really can add to the experience. Like playing a bard character with mods that allow you to improve as you play and to perform publicly. Or mods like Triumverate, which make playing as a nightblade or a shaman much more fun. Or playing as an alchemist who travels around gathering ingredients and becoming more and more powerful in using their potions for defense and combat. Does requiem in general, and your list in particular make these kind of playthroughs possible? If so, I may just have found my "perfect" list!

Todd Howard: " TES 6 is gonna take a long time" ( means not gonna be out until I became a grandpa) ... Biggie: "hold my nord mead" 😂

"lore rim", thank GOD, waifu rim has been killing me. played nolvus for a good while, will absolutely play this. i love the combat

This is the mod list that finally includes everything I want in my Skyrim. I’m going to swap over from Nolvus and dive into the excellent work you’ve done here!

Skyrim modlists are the entire reason i go out only to work.

I think the lighting and shadows in this are the BEST I've seen so far.

Biggie I was never a fan of requiem, but this list is growing on me fast. INCREDIBLE graphics and lore-friendliness. The difficulty makes the game more engaging instead of just hack-n-slashing with no planning. Controller support is actually not bad for a 1.0. Only thing I would suggest adding from a character customization standpoint is a nevernude toggle in MO2. A lot of folks like that and it might save you from getting asked that question 1000 times. But I appreciate all your hard work!! As a fellow dad gamer I plan to donate to your efforts.

Looks fantastic! :D I’m happy to see not only a lore-friendly modlist, but a modlist that *loves* the lore.

You represent the entire community right now boss. fnally a decent modlist.

Stoked to try your list! Such a carefully thought through, modern list that also includes specific survival/stealth/immersion mods I’ve waited for to be in such a list like THIS! I’m a junkie for ultimate immersion… It’s gorgeous… thank you for this!

I just updated yesterday via wabbajack and now I just stream it to my steamdeck and it’s GG man. List looks/runs great. Time for yet another Skyrim mod list 😊

OMG! U done magic with this one. I'm not a big fan of Requiem, but this modlist looks absolutely stunning! Already trying it out and gotta say, this modlist have to try every Skyrim lover for sure. Thank you very much for your effords and time spended while creating this. ♥

you are the best man!! what an awesome video to explain my friends what I've been into lately ahaha

This list is really exciting it seems to be hitting everything I'd personally want from a list. Super excited to grab it next time I have the hankering to play Skyrim. Well done dude.

thank you so much for this. Skyrim has always been my favorite game but I was only able to play it on low graphics. I've built a new pc 3 days ago and am currently installing the modlist. I really can't wait. It's going to be amazing. Thanks again and love from the Netherlands!

Far out Biggie! Smashed it to bits my dude! Congrats and big TK for the hard work. Going to play the socks off it

looks weird to me seeing dirt roads everywhere but there's a certain charm to the look you've built here, very cozy modlist dude :)

Hey Biggie, you cooked a super interesting list! I saw people trying with a 3060, and it seems playable above 50 fps in a lot of places so... I'll give it a shot. I can't wait. Very hyped and very amazed by the dedication you put in building, improving it and sharing the whole journey in the streams. Cheers!

Very excited for this. I'm a big requiem guy and this looks phenomenal

Hey man just wanted to say that we appreciate your dedication and hard work in making this. Keep going at it brother and keep being you.

Project ja-Kha'jay alone made me download and then i see you added Morrowind creatures to Solstheim makes me so happy, i already wanted to try MCO and having you using one of my favorites Lore mods makes love this modlist already.

Been waiting for this one finally got time to download this list, had just started the process right befor the video came out

My man, thank you for endlessly reviewing new Wabbajack modlists. It really helps that I can always check out your review prior to committing to ~100GB downloads. Thank you once more.

Loving the mod so far! I’ve been wanting to give Requiem a try and I love that you’ve added EnaiSIM mods in as well with survival/immersion mods/mechanics. Also THANK YOU for the performance mode. The regular mode killed my FPS but with performance I can run a stable play through with minimum stuttering.

Watching this while I'm downloading Lorerim. I'm getting really excited. 😀

I am downloading it now. I plan to add a few spell packs and that's it as everything else about this list I love

I'm sold starting the download right now!

Currently playing nolvus and really enjoying it but my next playthrough is going to be this. thank you so much to modders and the people who make these modpacks❤️

you are an artist, i cannot wait to download this, thank you so much

This looks phenomenal. As a Nolvus player, I always wanted to try something more hardcore on the mechanics - so your list seems just the thing. However, since i'd like to have 'serious' as in long-term playthrough, I have two questions - how stable is the list in the long run, as in those 100 hour saves - did you test it? And one other thing - how often it will be patched in the coming months in a way that make those patches non-save compatible. Thanks!

Truly worthy of Nexus Mod of Month (and year). Fantastic graphics, game mechanic overhauls and with options for players with less capable pcs to run too. Then there are mods I've thought about but never tried, such as changes to skills and RPG mechanics. What an immense amount of work to get all these mods blended and in keeping with the lore of the game. Outstanding! I thought I'd miss one of my fav mods (Solitude Skyway) but with the class of this mod list, it just doesn't need it. I think biggie_boss has provided something many us wish we could do. Thank you.

Oh is this a modlist you've curated? Well thats all I need to know. The amount of experience you have with review and your taste in combat is grounded. So definitely going to try this once I get back to my desktop and good SSD for games.

A true gamer's modlist. Thank you for lending your expertise to such an amazing list Biggie! I can't wait to play it :)

This is mind blowing. The sheer time and effort you must have put into this O_o ...damn. VERY much appreciated Biggie. *sets mead down* Gonna download this mod list right now.

looks incredible, im definitely looking forward to trying this

28:10 lol that'd be so funny. It reminds me of a time when one of my favorite streamers, Dansgaming, was streaming No Man's Sky at launch on his PS4, and he was about make a joke saying, "Well my PS4 is a very special PS4. You know why?" ... **The game crashes and goes to a blue screen, and Dan silently facepalms himself**

Can't wait to try this list. Never enjoyed Nolvus as it was too over the top for me. I dislike mods that try to turn Skyrim into another game. A lore friendly modern list is what I've been looking for, and it looks amazing Biggie. Thanks for sharing this with us all!

this is honestly one of if not the best lists iv ever played, roll playing wise it allows skyrim to pass even games like New Vegas with the depth of the intractability even just down to being able to save characters like Roggvir. The only thing id personally request and love to see would be Bruma or Wrymstooth added in some far distant future update although ik that would be an immense undertaking to make it reach the same level of quality as the rest of skyrim so I doubt it would be anytime soon

Man, your modlist seems perfect! My only request is if you can make the UI bigger for us TV/controller players, SkyUI is not really good for that

Might have to try this one. I loved the look and feel of Living Skyrim and Librum, but the early game was so frustrating. I gave up and switched to Magnum Opus for FO4.

I've been playing Halls of Sovengard recently, and while I have been enjoying it for some reasons, I have felt that the combat feels a bit off for me. Blending requiem with some more modern combat improvements is very attractive to me, and I'll probably be trying this list out soon. Also, Ebony ENB was also my choice for HoS, so glad to hear that its the default in this list as well. Very pretty. Here's hoping the optimization of this list is better than HoS as well, as that list made my 3070ti struggle for even 40 fps.

Just got my steaks ready, gonna be a joy to watch. :)

This list looks very promising! As far as big modlists go, I've only tried Nolvus which I know a lot of people love but it started to feel sort of bloated and lacking direction. LoreRim looks much more deliberately designed with intent. Very excited to try it next time I revisit Skyrim.

Love the look of this one. My first and only try out of a Wabbajack so far has been Nolvus 5. Which is pretty awesome but after a month of playing around with it I finally broke it by removing and adding stuff. LoreRim looks like being closer to what I want in a modlist. Some stuff I'll miss, like Campfire and Hunterborn. Sunhelm and 3DNPC. The first two are pretty old though now so I'll see how I get on with the newer alternatives. I'd quite like to lose Lux Via as well ... I love Lux interiors, and Orbis is nice, but coming across random lighting out in the wilderness I find a tad unimmersive. I'll miss Seasons as well, although adding that can be something of a patching and LOD nightmare (and a rabbit hole of add-ons) so I'll see how it feels without all that. One thing that totally made me go for this one as well, is that it seems to be free of the Skyrim downgrade patcher which many modlists aren't. That's great, especially now that NGIO and grass cache builder has at last been updated to work without netscript framework. Ramble ramble. Looks fantastic anyway, downloading right now. I can only imagine the amount of time and work that's gone into this, I've spent literally years trying to build my own modlists with varying levels of success and often settling into playing a game that's totally broken in places. Having a ready-made and patched load order to start with is wonderful, especially one like yours which includes loads of stuff that I'd install anyway, along with some new stuff that I'm looking forward to trying out. Like Requiem, never played with that installed before. Thank you very much : -) Can't wait to get home from work and fire up a new game.

Well Biggie, although you specify the min. specs, I just HAD to try this with my 2070. Yep, you were right. Totally unplayable for me. So freaking sad. But my poor card can't handle all the mods and parallax, etc. One day my computer is going to grow up and be a 4070 with an i7 14th gen and spiffy water cooling and a bazillion TB NVME and 400 dozen DDR5 RAM!

Looks great! When I upgrade my rig I'll be giving LoreRim a go.

cant wait to get my new computer. this pack looks phenomenal

This List looks amazing exactly what I've been looking for strong visuals and strong emphasis on Role Play. No I just gotta hope my system can run it XD

I'm sooo willing to donate for this modlist. Really cool man. Looks great.

Looks awesome! 👍

6:53 lol was just listening to the audio only and I thought that "potions jiggling around" was a euphemism for BOOBA.

Doing a modlist quicklook on your own modlist. How the turn tables. 👌🏽

I’m def gonna play tf out of this Nolvus I think will always be my favorite but this looks like a close second or third ✌️ awesome work !

I finished installing the Nolvus mod last week and now im having to upgrade my Graphics card but damn this one looks even better

Just upgraded skyrim and got nexus premium just to try this. Cheers and thank you.

This looks really nice! I never completed skyrim, so the fact that its close to the original makes me want to play it :) If you have 24 gb vram, and want more pretty, what would you go with? I see some lists out there go hard on photorealism, which i love =)

This looks absolutely fantastic. I am torn between this and apostasy and mostly will download both... but what I like best is Requiem, as I realised that would balance the OP ADXP feeling I always get. I was wondering - have you changed any vanilla music? I like Skyrim's soundtrack a lot...

@biggie_boss , two questions: 1. If I remember well, you are using a 4090. What is the average vram usage with that card? 2. I assume you have played your list extensively. How does the list perform after levels 25-30 (where all lists typically experience issues)? Thanks in advance.

Congrats on the modlist release (sorry i was a liitle late). The list does feel really unique by combining stuff like requiem and survival with MCO and stances plus expanding on whats already there instead of adding new lands etc. Hopefully I'll be able to run it on my 8GB VRAM graphics card with the performance tweaks. Loved seeing you go from a guy who reviews modlists to making a really decent one of your own. It will also give a new perspective on your future reviews. Your channel/community has really grown a lot (been subscribed since the LS4 quicklook) and hopefully keeps growing at an even faster rate. Congrats again dude!

Been out the seen for a hot minute but gonna give this a download play it on my day off tomorrow

Is lotd included in the modlist?

Very interesting list, some very great ideas and visuals for sure. Then some intriguing points like "Discord Rich Presence" (why would i want this in my game ?) and some other choices. I saw lot patches and plugs, for navmesh for example, still bit asking me how the extended Windhelm (as big example) may run and act with npc's, even additional npc's, Great job, no doubt, it's very time-consuming to put together such a full mod-list. Well done !

Im not sure if its just the path textures or how the flora is placed around the paths but i found it made a few of the paths feel a little bland or incomplete. The plants just looked a liitle bit dotted around as though a mod was missing and some plants or flowers are just standing on their own. I also tried all the different enb,s in the mod list and i couldnt find one i liked. Just personal oppinion as the list is well put together. Biggie knows what he is doing so it is a good list to try

thanks. will look to try this now I have a PC capable of runnign it. you mention that here are not too many extra quests, etc., but arethere some as I'd liek to expand beyond the original set. thanks for taking the time to read and hopefully answer. :)

This list looks great, i'm usually skeptical of trying new stuff and initially wanted to play Ro. But this video made me change my mind and i'm going to install this instead. 1st and 3rd person friendly is a big + in my books (i like both, 1st person for sneaking. 3rd person for gung ho battle), also i hope my first time with a Requiem list will open the door to other lists with it :) I'm looking forward to discovering what the list truly offer when it's ready to play on my PC :)

I think you should make a small video on what to check/uncheck on mod organizer.

I came I saw I loved I checked I learned the modpack size I remembered my 3rd world Internet speed I said nevermind

if the list uses NAT III you could give Kauz ENB a try

Looks like a very cool list. Love it. Does it have the regular survival mode? Or do you have more survival and crafting mods?

I really like how gritty and realistic this is. I tried running it myself with puredark's fsr3 mod but for some reason I lose more than half my fps compared to native. I also had to disable sse display as when that is on my game is just zoomed (despite changing upscaler to off as puredark's instructions).

Wow! I would get lost! Perfect 🤩

great modlist very unique keep it up!

Ok, I'll try this out. I'm kind of more sensitive than most when it comes to UI and controls bugs and performance issues. I just quit playing Nulvus due to these reasons. Although the performance issues I blame on my outdated PC specs. It's hard to find a modpack that suits my needs because I want something that is based on either LOTD or Requiem, heavy on gameplay and quest mods, heavy on NPC and body overhauls, but light on everything else, especially the lighting and with no ENB because ENBs even when all individual settings are disabled, it cuts my FPS in half. It seems like as top of the line PC specs rise, so do the system requirements for the best modpacks unless I want to use Keizaal as a baseline and add my person favorite mods on top of that, but then I have to worry about adding my own LOTD or Requiem, which is the hardest part to get everything to work together.

Ngl every time i download a build, my build ends up looking better but the wabbajack has much more features. I need to figure how to blend mine with others bc i use the same non graphic mods. Im up to 380 with no crashes but need to mod aspects of the game i dont usually do.

Allright, I'm sold

I would complain aboit the lack of DLC sized mods but lets be honest with ourselves here. I have done dozens of Skyrim playthroughs and played for probably more than 1000 hours and have probably started a couple of DLC sized mods. I don't think I ever even finished them. Truth is there is more than enough content in vanilla Skyrim, and aside from very very select ones, few mods meet the quality standard that makes you question wether you're playing modded or vanila Skyrim.

Is this mod controller friendly? Would like to play with controller, but for certain menus, maybe a mod menu I can use keyboard if I need to.

So did I get that right that this modlist doesn't have the bullshit when reaching certain levels your characters becomes way weaker compared to the world? Nice job btw, loving what I see!

I hate stance switching so much. But the rest of this mod list looks amazing

Def on my next to play list!

Can you run it off an external SSD? Don't have 500 GB+ of free space on my laptop and really want to play this 😅

Fantastic modlist! 👏🏻

Damn, Strange Runes is in this list? I was so excited for this list, too.

Damn, that looks sweet!

Controller support? for us plebs that dislike mkb ...

New to Wabbajack here. Can I add mods on top of Wabbajack? For example, can I use Vortex after Wabbajack? I need to add PlayStation controller buttons.

Good work!

Kinda wish the really good ones like this were playable with mid tier specs. I have an I5 10 series, 16gb dual channel, and an rtx 3050 and I get no more than 45fps on this modpack. Sucks since it looks like it changes a lot. NordicSouls is fun but it just doesnt change enough to play the entire game over again.

A thing I love about northern roads is the puddles when it rains and the parallax. Does this include something similar? Otherwise this looks exactly like what I have always wanted

I've been on the Librum bandwagon because that seemed like the best overall list for me but I might give this a chance, it looks pretty awesome. I like the blend of more understated / realistic stuff mixed with lore-friendly things. Some modlists just do some really over the top crazy things and that never jived with me. Just one question: how compatible is this with quest and npc mods in general?

Modlists like this are amazing, but at the same time almost too complex because there isn't a place to view all of the content additions conveniently. Do you have a breakdown of all the gameplay additions? (Non cosmetic)

I couldn't find LoreRim on the Wabbakack lists anywhere 😢

obligatory second comment: bethesda just needs to hand TES over to modders. they'd take better care of it

Awesome showcase video

handsdown Lorerim shall be my numbaaaa 1 modlist out there only because the combat system so much fun i can't stop killing things around way too much ahahhaha i be like to them darn bandits FOR SPARTAAAAA and runs in to die lol

Hi Biggie, Awesome modlist, the amount and time and effort put in, makes it a must play. Are you going to add anything to do with expanding the civil war questline or land lording? Let me know. Thanks bro.

Amazing! Thank you!

Everything is soo amazing but couldnt you do Skyrim Unbound alternate start for better roleplay?

I really enjoyed the menu's they are 1000 times better then the original
