    At some point, Skyrim is going to be so evolved by the playerbase that The Elder Scrolls 6 is going to be a letdown in comparison.

    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?

    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.

    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!

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!

      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.

      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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    the term is called planetshine, where when the moon comes out in real life and shines the color of the moon onto the planet

    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.

    WOW!!! I just started a new game killing some time until Bannerlord. I had never gotten into a lot of these type mods in the past. It used to be a bit overwhelming to get everything working together. I wanted to give this playthru the most up to date shit I can. But I saw this and just went with these. OMG. The difference is amazing. The dungeons look and feel completely different. I was also complaining about how useless a power magelight was. Now with the dungeons being lit more realistically i'm popping them off all the time.

    This video is old enough that you've probably learned what "fauna" means (animals) and that you should have said "flora" (plants), but that bothered me so much I had to comment. That is all.
