This is the most useful, well constructed guide I could have possibly asked for. Thank you a hundred times over!
@@biggie_boss ive been trying to install all the mods i have a premium account but one of the mods doesnt exist anymore so i cant complete the download? any tips
@@biggie_boss im having issues with the cbbe-3ba-physics armor and clothes (nude) by vektor9999 (v1.4) is there any fix for this?
Biggie, every day I log in excited but scared to watch your latest vid because I know I'm going to spend the next few days on some new flavour of Skyrim!
Love your work, please never stop!
This is one of the most wholesome comments I've read so far :) appreciate the love
It'll be quite some time before I'm able to follow this guide, but I'm glad that I have it for when that time comes, thank you for creating such a clear and concise tutorial, this is the level of quality that I aim for when I make guides or help friends. Keep up the good work man.
I'm hoping to get a job after I *finally* finish up my online school and get my diploma so that I can afford my brother and I good PCs and displays before I go off to college to give back (plus some) what he's given to me after he started working.
The auto-install is sick...multi-thread downloading created by Vector, and in my personal opinion, the latest version (v5 Ascension) is greatly improved over the previous one.
I just finished installing and I don't have the premium, I started Friday night and it finished Sunday afternoon 😂
@@biggie_boss I literally installed an auto clicker to help clicking the 1825 mods it had to install but it took so long cause some of them would be slightly lower so I'd have to manually come back and fix it and with limited download speeds and only 10 can download at a time, it really took a while to get it all done but I'm glad I did it hahaha and I'm even more glad I can run it fine, would of been hesrt broken to go through all that and have it run too poorly to enjoy
Saving us hours of time to have fun, thanks bro earned a sub for an easy explanation
Thank you! I often get this things myself. Your help was instrumental in cutting that time in half. I might even have time to launch it.
I'm late to the Nolvus party and a relative novice when it comes to modding and computers, in general. Thank you for this!
No crap you droppped tutorial now! Just tought about this modlist and was looking for a guide since I'm lazy & before I typed in search bar I saw this in feed xDDD Thanks.
Been looking at this list for awhile, now I have something to follow along with. Thanks for this :)
Thanks, I'm really new to mods, and this made the process a breeze. Thank you. Also, the keybinding guide was a great tough.
Need an update, does everything go the way you wanted? No issue so far?
I remember when I decided to replay Skyrim after 3 years and it took me a solid 8 hours of modding and troubleshooting for ~200 mods.
I highly appreciate your video
Wonderful video as always! I ended up choosing nolvus over arisen like you showcased before. im currently downloading the 1800 mods :)
Thanks again, keep it brother! 🫂Love you!!!
I play Nolvus V5 on Ultra using medium ini with my rtx 2080. One of my favorite modlist. Runs smooth and can't remeber the last time it crash on me.
:D Glad it worked out for you. Yea the fact that the options are interchangeable makes it a lot easier.
How did you get it to run smooth? Takes me about 5 min just to get to the menus and load screens are like 30 sec to 1 min!
I'm stuck with my old but proud GTX 1070 with 8GB VRAM and even if I've got 32GB RAM I still cannot get into a full Nolvus installation... I wish I could at least use the interface and animations other core parts so I could keep my own "Wintered edition" of Skyrim _{a perennial snowy and iced cold winter all over Tamriel!}._ This guide anyway would have definitely helped me to do the magic. A truly precious resource!
awesome work once I'm able to afford a new Graphic card I want to really use this mod pack. It has more of what I'm looking for than Living Skyrim. Awesome to see you do a live stream. Would love to support you if I had the free time. Keep up the good work
Thanks Spartan :) I appreciate the support and hope Nolvus works for you when you get a new GPU.
Hopefully you got the upgraded gpu. But nolvus also has a redux version for rtx 2070
@@TrixStix thank you, I actually did get a new video card a couple months ago. Once I get back to my home PC. I'm really looking forward to trying this mod pack.
i just installed it yesterday, so far so good. I have an rtx 2070 with 64gb of ram and a 2tb ssd. I uuuh, died to the first monster i ran into and went back to my first save and lost 30minutes of progress lol. have fun and Jesus Loves You my guy!@@specrtre
Great video , I needed this when I installed Nolvus 2 weeks ago,, haha
In 10 years when I can afford to upgrade my PC I cant wait to try this
Get an Nvidia 7090 ti with 32g of VRAM and it will run at 120 fps in 8k.
I want to thank you for this, I spent all day yesterday trying to get the GOG version to work and said f that when I saw this video. I absolutely love this with these mods. Man it's like a whole new game. And I don't have the best pc definetely don't have 32gb of ram or a 2070 lol.Still runs smooth as butter on my potato with the REDUX version. The only issue I ran into was I had to manually download the creation club files but that was so worth it to wake up to the download complete and actually working!
I highly recommend using this over a vortex collection or wabbajack modlist, this took me les than a hour to download, and its over 2,000 mods, insane. the last wabbajack modlist i used with less mods took abt 6 hours
@@biggie_boss yeah true, idk if you made a video on aldrnari but that modlist is pretty good, I just don't like the time it takes to download stuff from wabbajack, but if you put it downloading overnight that basically solves the problem as long as no errors happen.
damn... your internet speed must be insane... I'm in Vietnam and it took me 1 and a half day to download lol, and I'm using Nexus Premium membership...
thank you for you guide boss, smooth explanation, clear voice... Just perfect! 👍
This kind of almost makes the anniversary edition worth buying even if you already have special edition. Even if you could do it on special edition, I kinda want to have a graphically improved vanilla skyrim experience again while it not interfering with my mods for Special edition
Thanks for the tutorial it was really easy to follow and download. Relatively smooth process. Earned a like & subscribe. You should create a Nolvus Skyrim series and see it to the very end!
:) i have one actually. And did a series of streams where I killed Alduin, Miraak and Harkon
i am confused
Thanks! Mine are currently 60% downloaded. We’ll see how it goes when it’s done :)
What if I want to play with a controller how do I go about that?
Basic key mapping will get you so far I realized today. I'm just gonna give in and use keyboard. It seams like it's gonna be way better on keyboard anyway. Was hoping a fluid gaming expirence on the TV but eh I'm accepting it xD
@cocacolaforever3776 I using my tv And my controller. Haven't got all the button mapping and I'd have more frames if a had a monitor. But I'm pretty happy with the experience. It's still a hell of a lot better then skyrim on console
Hey mate, great tutorial. thank you so much for the help! It was getting too much for me but because of you I'm able to play !
I am nervous to attempt this, but I trust I am safe in your hands! I've always had bad performance modding the game even though I have an rtx 3060
Its easy to do assuming the auto installer doesnt glitch then it can be really irritating.
@@Jezza_One I got it working but the more I play the game the worse performance it gets. Like after 1000 saves it's almost unplayable
Thank you! this was my main guide for the whole thing
Do you have to have the anniversary edition upgrade?? Or can you just use special edition?
Thank you. I'm currently downloading the list. Gonna give it a try.
Is it really gonna use that much RAM? It's just absurd.
Great Installation Guide for Nolvus^^ thx very much
I've been playing Nolvus 4.5.3 for 7 maybe 8 weeks now. It's a great list, but I'm getting tempted to switch to v.5.
100% worth it. Thank you for the great instruction
I left my PC on overnight to install all of the mods, last time I checked before going to sleep it was at 22%. When I woke up, I realized that it's still at 22%. I don't think it's supposed to take that long to download a mod.
@@biggie_boss I forgot to say that I closed the app and it started to resume, once I finished I started playing Nolvus and it’s amazing.
fantastic tutorial! thanks and definitely subbing
For me it always crashes after a few saves and then eventually it crashes every time i leave character creation while loading into the world.
Thats so helpful pal... Really appreciate your time to make it easy for many people! Sorry for de silly question but i need to installing MO2 before nolvus or installed automatic is well? Cheers mate ✨👍🏽
Everything is automatic with Nolvus. Only thing you have to do is install Skyrim, run it once and install all of the creation club stuff
Hello, excellent mod, I just had a problem, when I start the game I can't choose characters, I stay in a room without being able to move or move the camera. any solution? thank you
Press escape then go to the Mod Config Menu and choose the ‘Skyrim Unbound’ tab (I think, it’s the top one) then you’ll be able to start the game.
@@viejoloco4998 Fantastic! Im glad you’ve got it working! It is a truly amazing mod list.
How can you add more script mods to Nolvus? Is there a way to make room for a few more?
Thank you so much for this. It’s people like you who make clear, simple and easy tutorials that make the world a happier and stress free place. Much appreciated ❤
ive had nothing but frustration with this modlist haha. Im running an i9, 3080ti, 32gb Ram ,m.2 ssd. I get crazy GPU spikes and freezes, but no crash so there isnt even a crash report. i just see my gpu usage spike to 100 and then it freezes. Have to force quit. im playing at 2560x1440. Im at my wits end lol]
That's odd because I'm also at 1440p with a 3080 ti and an i9. This was with the latest version? V4 was unplayable for me but V5 is nice.
@@biggie_boss Yea its the v5 version 5.0.16
its really frustrating haha, how long did you play for?
So, a note for people asking about ultra-high-end systems...I'm running a 4090 ROG STRIX OC and a threadripper 3960x, also OC'd, and 64GB of ram. This entire thing (game, Nolvus, downloads, etc.) are all installed on a 2TB M.2, so no bottlenecks for any type of...well, much at all for what Nolvus asks for. With the Performance Options screen, I'm running Ultra Varient, DLAA, High Skyrim .ini profile, Ultra LODs. Advanced Physics, and Global Illumination are ON and FPS Sabilizer is OFF. With all of this, I average 30-40FPS while running around and 60-70FPS while indoors or looking at the ground, or other short-range areas.
j ai essayé j 'y suis jamais arrivé 😂😂😂
Thank you soooooo much!!! Great video!
Superb guide! Loving the mod, however, I want original skyrim music rather than the new version. Been looking through the updater but not been able to turn it off...
The best vidéo ever created, i mean one of the best in the tuto world, i saw only a few for different games but my god it's so helpfuul !
I cant get past the game detection error, ive followed every step and it still aint working. Any advice?
dude if i could buy you a drink i would. thanks A TON man!
coming here because Mr matty said "click a couple buttons its easy" blah blah blah i needed this guide lol
Awesome, ty, works like a charm!
Appreciate your help, but still stuck on one step!
10:20
At this point in the video, everything works fine until the mods are downloading, they are popping up as individual downloads, where a nexus mods page pops up inside the launcher, where I have to manually slow download mods. This is tedious as there is 2000+ mods to be downloaded.
Tried checking the FAQ on there page, but couldn't see anything regarding. Anyone else have this issue?
you need to have nexus premium in order to the fast automated install
Thanks for the guide!
I'm abit confused, it says anni or special edition? Why did you say this? 1:53? Do I need to buy the anni edition??
Can a rtx 4070 run this ?. Or should i go with Lorerim ?.
amazing help! thank you!
I keep getting a "Error during integrity checking" message that stops my install. I've verified my game files in steam and says they are correct but still received the error message. I've tried looking for trouble shooting but can't fix it. Any advice or fixes?
@@biggie_boss alright, I'll try it again. I downloaded the dlc but didn't load up my save to apply it all
I’m new to pc will this work fine ?
12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700F processor
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti
1TB M.2 NVMe SSD storage
RAM: 32GB
I need some help whenever I try to install I get the Global MOdOrganizer instance detected error code, I have deleted the mo2 applications and I still get this error any tips?
That's strange af. I'd check with Nolvus' Discord, they have a support section.
@@biggie_boss I figured it out, my fresh install was in another main directory but Nolvus had the install in a separate drive. It has been 3 years since I got back into modding.
Hey Biggie thank you for the guide!
I was curious, have you tried Nolvus Skyrim with controller? Wondering about key bindings and things like that.
Thank you this was very helpful!
I already have a modded Skyrim on my HDD with Vortex and mods installed. Do I need to uninstall everything before moving on with getting Nolvus working or would I be okay just doing it anyways? Thanks for the guide!
Whenever I attempt to install the modpack an error shows up saying that the hash for my skyrim special edition does not match. Do you know of any way on how to fix it? I was looking around earlier today and apparently some other people are having the same issue as I.
4:10 I dont get this outcome.... it pops up saying my installation path is too long and I need to copy the updater.exe into a shorter path... I dont understand what that even means. I made a folder I dont have a drive option and put the nolvus updated in my folder but it doesnt work like yours does.
when you open the folder that the Nolvus updater is in, it should look like this at the top of the File Explorer window (the letter "B" is the example letter for the drive I am using)
This PC > B Drive (B:) > Nolvus Folder
that is the path. only a couple "steps." if your path is too long then you likely put the Nolvus folder in the wrong place.
@@-gavyn- i dont see b drive. All I have after I click on This PC is 3D objects, Documents, Music, Videos, Desktop,Downloads and pictures.
I’m having the same issue did you ever found out a fix for this ?
@@angiewangie7705 ah, so if you don't see a separate section called "Devices and Drives" with storage drives listed, then I am not sure how to help :/ sry
@@justyourfriendlyneighborho9338 do you see any drives when you click "This PC" in your file explorer?
I’m doing the auto install currently but when I reach the Performance Options page I don’t have the option to choose my LODs level for some reason. It’s greyed out and stuck on Ultra. Going to try to run Nolvus with 16gb ram and 6gb vram so I don’t think Ultra’s gonna work for me. Any idea why I can’t change it?
Oh wait, I fixed it haha. In case anyone else runs into this issue, I selected the Ultra variant (I was on redux) and then I could change the LODs. Lowered the LODs and then switched the variant back to Redux.
Hello! the guide seems to be very helpful, but there is something that confuses me. I have played Skyrim a lot before, but I really want to play it this way. Is there anything I should do before installing Nolvus?
Does this mod list work with a controller or will i be handicapped for using one? Im new to Pc gaming and im terrible with Mouse and keyboard so using them is uncomfortable for me cause of it. Its always been like that for me. Even in middleschool i sucked in keyboard typing class lol
I only have 6gb of vram, so I was going to install Nolvus Lite, but it looks like the only options with the auto installer are Ultra and Redux? Is it possible to install Lite with the auto installer?
Awesome guide!! I'm new to modded skyrim, I have a 3060ti, and i wish i had given myself the anti aliasing option to downscale my resolution for frames... only getting 50 FPS even on low ini ...
Is the only way to do this delete the instance and re download the whole lot?? 😢
my download just freezes........ says its installing, but all i see is gray and nothing, it had installing mod 1-500 and then that disapeared.
Great guide! Bummer for me though, with the low-end recommendation being an RTX 2070. My laptop is only an RTX 2060.
Hope youre still replying to comments, i have a question, i got it to run and im in the main menu, there is music playing and everything but when i click new game, nothing happens a black outline appears on the side but i cant stary a new game. When i tab out i can see the menu and everything
im quite new to skyrim modding so i just wanna ask, which upscaler do u disable if you wanna install puredark's dlss? i remember theres 2 upscalers in the modlist in mo...and how do you actually update the nolvus if a new update comes out?
Thomas James has a video showing how to add DLSS to Nolvus. For the updater, just run the dashboard. It should auto-detect if there's an update and give you the option :)
just a question, I bought Skyrim Special Edition and want this modpack. Will it work if I buy the upgrade or do I need to buy the totally separate anniversary edition to run it.
do you think i could download this alongside from my normal modded skyrim in the vortex manager ? or would it need a fresh skyrim install
Question. Do you really need net 5.0? I have 6.0 due to 5.0 not being available anywhere
I get a black screen when i try to launch it , after installing from the guide. I followed everything, still black screen for a few sec, then it reverts back to MO2, no errors. Any tips ?
@biggie_boss regarding the Nvidia settings do you do the main skyrim.exe file or the skse.exe?
Question how long does it take to boot up from mo2?
I choose the ultra preform ace for 2080 since I have a 3060 not 80
this may come out as a dumb question, but do i have to delete my vortex and reinstall my Skyrim to start Nolvus?
No dumb questions :). Make sure use Vortex's purge function to clean out your Skyrim folder if you want to keep your Vortex modlist. Ideally, a fresh install is recommended, though. Nolvus installs within its own folder and runs through a portable version of MO2 so it won't mess with your Skyrim files.
@@biggie_boss I have a question too uhm. lets say i have installed nolvus and skyrim on my external ssd. since mo2 is portable and everything is on my ssd. can i potentially move and play on different machines? will it mess up anything? and last question. i noticed nolvus makes a copy of the steam stock skyrim files. do i need to keep both? (space is dying lol) thanks in advance
-edit-last question im so sorry. is it possible to downscale resolution after installation? is there a toggle in nolvus to enable downscaling if you noticed any option for it -another edit i got to the part it is there. just blurred out which is concerning T_T
I have a question, if nexus premium runs out can we still use our API (Vaild for the nolvus installer or just in general), and if premium does run out will we still be able to play/use/update nolvus?
I don’t get what you did I literally installed it unzipped it to the downloads then I opened it and I can find the output so I cut it and put it in the drive and it’s not opening no more 🤷🏽♂️
Just got my pc I have a 4070ti with a 7800x3d and 32 gb of ram I was wondering before I do all of this is my pc able to handle it at 1440p with decent frames or should I adjust the page profile like it showed? I want to play at the highest settings they offer btw and if not what would u recommend my options are
I think you should be able to run it on ultra pretty smooth on a 4070 ti at 1440p
Hi, I got a problem in the last step. Guide says "Select NOLVUS in the right drop down list and click on RUN to launch the game", but I don't have Nolvus there in MO2. Any ideas? Thanks :)
Hello!! Solid presentation as always!! I know this is not exactly the place to ask this following inquiry. Living in Australia and trying to connect to pull the initial threads of all 2065 mods is literaly at a standstill at 389 total thus far. I have premium Nexus, a fibre to the home connection, LAN to the computer and a 10k PC that more than meets the marks. Wouldn't it be better for me to manually download these directly from Nexus instead of the auto installer?
does this require a clean install .. because I have a modded game already ...or does the Instance act like a new game for each ? also I have reverted my version of Skyrim SE/AE in order the older Nexus mods still work or must I dump all that work in order to use this tool ?
During nolvus dashboard installation, when given the option to change anti-aliasing only TAA is enabled, it says DLAA only for nvidia rtx card. But i have an rtx 4090. Bug??
THIS helped alot, and it took me roughly 1hour..some errors on the way (the website helped easily to fix it). WOW
Thank you so much you are awesome
Thanks for the guide mate, i just have a quick question, does nolvus works with steam achievements? Thanks in advice.
If the Instance Auto Installer in the Nolvus Dashboard get hung up can I just close it and then re-open and it will figure itself out and continue or do I have to start all over again? I got to 53% complete (979/1823 mods) and it is now not continuing. At about 47% complete, there was one in the list called "BDOR Nova Pack by NA (v1.0)" that says "Error detected, waiting for the queue to finish". but it kept installing other mods until there were 3 in the list one of which is the BDOR one and its frozen. Not sure what I should do.
@@cupcakebl00d I did! Just closed it and re-opened and it figured itself out!
okay this may sound like a dumb question but i downloaded a mod that requires all the basic stuff like skse and fnis (which is in the mod file) but when i load the game up it says non of them are installed in the MCM menu?
amazing toturial thanks man
crash after character creation on the loading screen.. 2060super running redux. also the screen cuts off where i can change the ini for some reason my dashboard, is there a way to change it manually?
Do the mods work on the entire game? I bought the anniversary edition on Steam and I intend to install these mods. Tks for the amazing video
These mods auto-install for you :) so you can play it. You can check some of my Nolvus gameplay if you want to see it.
I have a question! I installed everything I got it to run once and then the mo2 was being really slow and I was testing it again and it went after a few times if me having to close it cause it wasn’t responding and then the next time I tried and every time since it will load to the mo2 and then I hit run and it will show me a empty white box and say not responding, I have 2 notifications that say there’s files in my overwrite (I deleted them all but skse now it won’t work at all abd it won’t let me put them back either) and 1 plugin that isn’t functioning. I am stuck and have no idea what to do, please any help! Is the mo2 broken or the mod load order or the nolvus dashboard?
why cant all tutorials be this good, this is simple. easy to follow, you explain everything from really good to knows, to might want to knows to have to knows all before going through with anything, you tell us what will happen if we do different things, you dont say "you have to do this" you say "this is want you want to do, if not you can do this and thisll happen"
:P aww I appreciate the comment, this actually made my evening
@@biggie_boss I appreciate the tutorial that all tutorials should take after, you’ve made something simple and easy to do, even easier to do, which shouldn’t be possible yet here we are
