I no longer use this as my mod list. I made an updated (and frankly, better) guide with my current one: kzhead.info/sun/ksmMnbecaICuqpE/bejne.htmlsi=oehiYFDFcL1CJMh6
FINALY a down to earth load order thet makes all npcs look equal not women like pop starts and men like villagers
But I do prefer gougeous woman on my mod list haha
But I do prefer gougeous woman on my mod list haha
Finally something atht includes male characters. I'm sick and tired of female only mods.
@@hntr_official indeed simps that call thems sigma but actualy dont do anything in thair life nor seen a woman have taken over the true modding comunity (sorry for the errors im not english)
@@matheusguerrascheffer6518 big melons its an obligation
Finally a mod list that stays true to Vanilla aesthetics instead of just adding clutter and super models.
we all know there are many ways to mod skyrim, some aim for the best graphic, others for the best gameplay…but what you did here was getting the best version of skyrim possible in the most vanilla-looking way, that’s admirable
Not to mention how much of an effect he is getting with so few mods…
Nice base of mods for a survival build?
Dude the fact your at 7K subs blows my mind. I’ve never seen such an in depth accurate show case that really deeply displays every single mod/effect. I know for a fact you’ve helped a HUGE amount of people including myself. Absolutely banging video bro hope to see more✌🏼
Thank you! I was super curious about what you use considering your previous lists. Happy Little Trees has always been a favourite of mine! Rustic clothing is also great. Artefakes seems like an absolute must for my next playthrough, such a cool little change.
I've just discovered your channel, and I must say you made quality work, presenting mod without superfluous junk and in a way that is easily understandable for people like me who are not native english speakers ( that may not be on purpose, but still greatly appreciated ). You just earned a new subscriber.
Found your channel a few days ago. It really takes me back to the glory days of Skyrim mod showcases. Keep up the great work!
Nice! I been looking for a good character overhaul but couldn’t find a good one - but now I found this video and the characters/npcs look quite good!
quality list mate, absolute top choices just upgraded my rig and wanted to start my modlist fresh. will be perfect to build around
Very nice list of mods, I am working on a modlist atm, and I found so many similarities. I love it when you use vanilla-ish textures upscaled vs custom ones due to the stability of the game, happy Little Trees and Water for ENB are really good for that.
This was a really good base to work off for a super tame load order that didn't need too much messing around. Its truly an accomplishment what this list achieves with so little. I never imagined my load order could ever be under 100 mods.
you have an excellently crafted mod list here. I've been trying out modding Skyrim for the first time this last week and it's been a bit overwhelming with all the patches, fixes, and then a huge variety of mods. But your list really helps a lot! thank youu
I think I need to start a new playthrough in my Skyrim... Great video, thank you for bringing these amazing mods!!
i was surprised by your subscriber count. astonishing video quality, great mod list. good job!
I deleted my then current modlist in favour of this one and just wow going through the motions, this is definitely top tier in terms of how much detail and immersion you can get with what is pretty a simple modlist in all honesty. Definitely sticking with this as my basis from now on
Excellent video my man. Thanks a lot for all that hard work and help!
It's been years since I've had time to play and mod Skyrim but it's nice to keep up to date of good mod lists. Interesting to see new names emerge while some classics remain.
You sir have just earn yourself another subscriber for your channel, this is exactly the kind of mods I needed for my skyrim playthrough without going overboard
I was just starting a new Skyrim mod set up after not playing for a few years, this gives me a really solid starting foundation! Thanks for sharing, this was very helpful!
Thanks so much for this mod order!!! I'll often see people most mod orders that proudly say "100+ mods", but less is more, and the more mods you have the bigger toll its going to take on the game engine. This is an excellent selection!!!
amazing video. thank you for shedding light on mods I've never heard of
This is a really solid modlist, though I would swapout Amiidian in future for Xavbio's retextures which aim to add a high quality and consistent look to various armour and weapon sets. They also have compatibility with the Amidian mods, so that might be worth looking into as an addition to your base modlist.
Yeah true Includes CC stuff as well so it is great
Amidianborn is better imo or id go with new havens armor and weapons. Xavibo looks really good though and it's definitely really good
@@romeohio19 I agree on that it's not to say xavibo isn't good because it covers a little bit more than amidianborn. Try to make that clear that I'm not trying to say the other one isn't good because it's my backup than divergence
@@romeohio19 absolutely the amidianborn is my go to. If I want to use CC content I use new havens weapon and armor AIO or xavibo because it doesn't require a patch for everything like divergence
@@romeohio19 I'd only use xavibo aio or New Haven aio for that purpose only. But amidianborn imo is still the best looking retexture on nexus at the moment
Great modlist! And I appreciate your delivery
Very nice thanks for the video. nice to see an easy to use vanilla+ modlist. I've only been modding a short amount of time since the games launch, i started playing on console. Can be daunting to start creating your own modlist. I've tried many mods with varying degrees of success. One of the biggest improvements of my modding experience comes from swapping Vortex to MO2, turns out Vortex was causing a lot of my issues. The ability to manually alter your Load Order and the fact you don't add most mod files directly to the game directory is a massive help. Thank you again for the concise easy to understand video, i love modding xD, best community ever
Hey man, I just wanted to say thank you. Your mod list is awesome. I just had to deactivate high poly true to vanilla npcs because the character models gave me some serious graphics errors ingame. But it's running great now after a few hours of modding and adjusting a lot. Even for me as a modding noob with some will to learn it was a good guideline. Thanks!
Amazing modlist to start with man! Though as the fella below said i prefer the Xavbio's retextures. BTW great video as always
You deserve more subscribers. Top quality content 👌
Incredible list of mods, thank you!
Solid list. i would like to add that skoglendi is also a very nice grass mod. cathedral weather is a great alternative if you dont fancy azurite, and cathedral armory includes amidianborn textures and a mashup of some others that look a bit better imo.
Although I had to get through my own trial and errors, eventually this modlist worked for me and the graphics looked as stunning as this vid hinted. Especially the lighting and grass patch were standouts. Thank you for putting together this list.
How many files in total did it entail after everything was loaded?
@@fangzification I ended up installing 100 mods, which also includes mods that I personally added after filling this modlist. So the number when only stuck to the list would amount to...roughly 85 mods? That's what I think at least.
By chance did you run into an error with beards kind of shooting everywhere from certain NPCs? Been stuck for a few days figuring out what is happening
@@rockit14 Never heard of that one...The bugs I ran into were things like NPCs not moving when they're supposed to during a quest, or a chest storing a quest item being invisible. I managed to fix them by installing another mods that are specifically designed to solve forementioned bugs.
@@rockit14 Also disabling specific mods temporarily and using console conmands worked too.
Finally a good looking mod list without the need to download 200+ mods. This is gods work.
This is truly how you honour the sixth house and the tribe unmourned.
My brother u did great job the best vanilla friendly mod list I've ever seen you gained subscriber no boobyes no anime looking women no skimpy outfits pure skyrim + amazing 🎉
Looking really good. Thanks for the docs with the load order. I downloaded over 16GB of mods in a modpack last week and still masters are missing, there are a lot of circular references and the game has improved its looks, but the lightning is all over the place, making characters have dark faces and the clothing having dark spots. This one looks like it's working well. I'll try it out. Good work!
Update: Spent a few hours modding the game yesterday and it's looking amazing! The load order also works well, provided you read the tutorials about ENB, DynDOLOD AND the mod descriptions at Nexus, which can be tricky to install and set the load order for required mods sometimes. When I get home today, I'll install the rest of the mods. Once again, thanks for the amazing work!
You are truly doing Azuras' work with this video, thank you so much sera
Haven't heard of most these texture and parallax mods,nice !
Fantastic video and mod list. Thank you.
Good stuff that anyone who is casual (like myself) about modding. Been enjoying your uploads, thanks!
As a fellow casual(you're clearing more knowledgeable than me) With the Google Doc that is linked in the description do I just need to only install requirements of the mods where he has written in bold? Because virtually all the others have requirements too, not to mention requirements for those requirements, for instance Northfires Photoreal Mountains 3 for Majestic requires Majestic Mountains and then Majestic Mountains require DynDoLod(which seems like a big application and not just a mod) I'd really appreciate if you could help me out.
@@MaxClarke-qf8to same question, some of these mods work, never modded skyrim yet and tinkered with load orders, but when I put on majestic mountains it like destroys the textures when I load in game, if anyone has done only this mod list, a picture of load order and what they chose would help a lot.
only liked like 2 of these mods but this was a very fun to look at video nonetheless ! liked and subbed , love you
yooooooooo this is the one im looking for right here this is now mine thank you maa boy
One of the best straightforward skyrim mod video ive ever watched
Finally a good mod video. Thank you man
First of all, your voice is very calming so it made watching this video a very relaxing experience. Thanks for that!! Second of all, please, release a nexus collection with these mods if you have the time
I'll try to figure out how to do that in the next few days - thanks for watching
@@redshift1 did you get round to releasing it as a collection? thanks
really nice video
incredible detailed video!
Ok but this is the only mod load order i will ever need, you covered everything
Might have to use Mysticism and Adamant instead of Oridinator and Apocalypse next playthrough
Definitely recommend them along with all of Simon's other mods like Scion and Thaumaturgy! Simon's mods all synergize really well to create a cohesive vanilla+ experience, expanding on and refining existing mechanics instead of adding bloat with a bunch of new mechanics
Same!
@@Kaiserker Exactly! That's what a V+ or simplified modlist needs- not an atom bomb of extra stuff, but improvement of mechanics, QoL features, maybe a few immersion and light town/location/interior overhaul mods, and an easy facelift! Skyrim is amazing on its own, but it just needs a little booster seat for the modern day. As far as character progression and mechanics go, Simon's mods are a great and underrated start. Apothecary gets no attention, but it's a mod I can't play without these days. Mysticism and Thaumaturgy do a great job of bringing back some effects from previous games in a balanced and vanilla friendly way. Adamant takes the perk system and reworks the progression to make more sense, but it won't smack you in the head with an almost overwhelming mountain of new perks and mechanics. Currently looking at maybe trying a new perk mod called Master of One... It changes perks dramatically by making ever perk have both positive and negative effects. If only more magic mods were patched in besides mysticism... would be a no brainer, especially when combined with Experience, which is another essential mod I refuse to play without now.
Ordinator and Apocalypse are so bloated and silly, I far prefer Mysticism and Adamant.
GARDDENS MERGED PERK TREES AHAAHAA
I need to save this!
Outstanding vids bruv thank you 🤙🤙
Been using Azurite Weathers along with PI-CHO ENB since November 2022. It's an amazing combo.
Thank you sir. This is amazing
I love how I watched this as one of my first skyrim mod list vids, then I watched later videos of Redshift and didn't realize it was him. He sounded 10 times more depressed making this video than his newer ones.
visual part is amazing.
Awesome list. I use a lot of Ryn's Mods to change the look of towns and cities. I have trouble with some, well actually a lot of the texture mods. They tend to totally FUBAR my game. This is especially true with the NPC textures. They either end up with a weird colored triangle with only hands, feet and face showing....
This helped so much! I am having an issue though, I have some texture issues with some of the Nordic and Dwemer ruins, not really sure what’s causing it but I’m using most of the mods here. Are their known issues between 2020 and Rudy’s Nordic ruins?
Excellent list! I appreciate that most stuff here doesn't have a lot of requirements although, the whole enb thing is a rabbit hole and for someone like me, I only just realized that you have to click the news link on that site to get to the next 100 links before not being sure what to dl and where to put it. If you could also point me to any enb tutorials I'd really love ya although, I already sub'd. Well deserved -TY!!!

Just found your channel and I gotta say I love the content so far
Simple and really usefull, that's how i see skyrim in simple remastered edition, just beautiful now (:
I like this list has most stuff I like to use including azurite weather probably best weather mod there is and the two major graphics packs I like plus tree mod I like. Will have to look into some of the others.
Holy moly this is a hidden piece of Gem!!!
i love how the most replayed part is the HD feet
Really is the best vanilla mod list that changes skyrim in a way that it feels NEW but never different from what it is.
Cool, personally i use climates of tamriel to weather, realistic water two, ordinator and ELFX. But good mod list, i try some of them.
I'm not gonna lie; these mods are solid, especially the visual ones. Nice choice.
Why are you lying then? just joking these are good mods😂
I'm currently in the process of creating my own modlist for the very first time, and this is absolutely great!!! Do you have a discord or somewhere to discuss modding? I find this is the closest to my personal taste of skyrim i've seen so far
I don't sorry - maybe in the future
best modlist!
I really don't understand how mods work, wish i did! Videos are great tho and such a smooth voice
Oh! I've noticed you've got the nordic UI compass navigation overhaul working, mind if I ask how you did that? Did you need any special mods for it? I've been trying myself for a while and it never worked. Either way great video! Always good to see a new modlist.
It requires no patches - though there is a nordic ui skin availible for download on the Compass Navi page
Love your mod-list🤩🤩 but how do you make lux look so bright when i installed it was so dark in interiors i couldn't see a thing 🤣🤣
Interesting modlist. I just bought AE, am on my first playthrough, and this provides some great guidelines. For some mods I picked some alternatives that were lighter, and with less prerequisites. I'm still looking for alternatives to facemods though, that don't get baked in.
Nordic Faces is great if you only want one mod to improve the vanilla look with modern and high-quality textures. It covers all parts of a character, from hairs to heads to faces to feet. I highly recommend checking it out if you're looking for alternatives.
Man all I want is for my game to look like yours. I have never modded or really even played Skyrim before and its so complicated and there are so many extra steps just to get my good to look semi decent.
Incredibly great modlist and video! But there's a small problem in your google doc modlist. The Azurite Weathers modlink took me to the error Nexus page(not the one in the ENB turtorial), but Azurite Weathers still on Nexus. I assume the modlink is wrong? Yet still an amazing google doc guide! Loves you include how to install ENB in there!
You're right. Just fixed it - thank you!
Great list. For those just just starting to mod, know that some, if not all, need like two to four additional mods to work properly. The list isn’t that “lazy.” Thankfully nexus mods will tell you what you need, just make sure you follow the directions for each.
Hey friend, I'm semi-new to modding and I have been looking for some help regarding getting these mods to work correctly. With the Google Doc that is linked in the description do I just need to only install requirements of the mods where he has written in bold? Because virtually all the others have requirements too, not to mention requirements for those requirements, for instance Northfires Photoreal Mountains 3 for Majestic requires Majestic Mountains and then Majestic Mountains require DynDoLod(which seems like a big application and not just a mod) I'd really appreciate if you could help me out because I'm trying to ensure that I have the best experience playing Skyrim. Also I use Vortex but am happy to switch to MO2 if necessary.
@@MaxClarke-qf8to Did you ever get it all working? I'm trying to at the moment...
yea bro im a bit overwhelmed with all mod lists, they require 4 mods to run, the requirments require like 9 other mods each, at the end of downloading ive put 40 mods just to get the first mod to run, not to mention my load order is a mess and the game crashes before it even loads? why do mods require other mods to run? this seems obvious to me, but they should be packaged together at point of download @@MaxClarke-qf8to
Finally a mod list that doesn't contain 3000 mods... Maybe I can finally play a beautiful Skyrim without having only 20 fps
holy jesus, the amount of mods i need JUST for PI-CHO is insane
I myself use Skyland parallax aio, definitely would recommend that too
big thank
Take notes y'all, THIS is how you do a mod list. 10/10 🤌
I'm just getting the hang of Mod Organizer 2 and using it to mod Skyrim. In your google doc, for example, under Skyrim 202X, you say to "Delete / hide / overwrite the landscape textures in favor of previously mentioned mods." How do I do this when I am installing using the mod manager? How do I delete/hide specific sections? I see you also mention the same thing under the "Skyrim Remastered Caves" mod, to "Hide / delete the dirt cave textures."
Re-mastering Skyrim for the 100th time. Todd definitely loves this idea.
He will make a good bethesda employee 😂
Skyrim Mod Managers realy need a feature where you can share your Modlist and download them automaticly. So you have the Modlist you wish and "only" needs to set them up manualy, like Nemesis.
Looks incredible. Been wanting a more vanilla style load order lately, and this one fits the bill perfectly. Any idea if this would run well on an RTX 3070? My former PC was a GTX 980m, so I'm not familliar with the performance of the RTX 30 series.
It would certainly run well! - I would get the upscaler just for good measure though.
this was what i wanted thx
My Skyrim kills me with 600 GB and the game is crashing all the time. I think I reset everything and use your Mod List Thank you
Thanks for the vid, everything works fine! Do you know how to get rid of the mini black bars on the screen? I'm not talking about the enb thing, i disabled the bars but there is still a mini black frame on the screen? Also do you know which particular mod makes my game run in 50fps? I have 3060gpu and i would love to run the game in at least 60fps
Good modlist. Simple but it look like a modlist that the author of the video REALLY USE FOR GAMEPLAY and not some fancy stuff used only for videos
I like this mod list,it's simple but effective 😎😎
It's my first time modding (and playing skyrim) and your guide has been very helpful. I had a lot of fun installing the mods with the list you provided. I was just wondering would the performace be the same when I just use LOOT instead of manually setting the mods in order?
Performance would be the same yeah, Loot can only sort plugins keep in mind so little texture packs you may have to sort yourself.
I plan to replay Skyrim before Starfield release, gonna try your modpack, can't wait to play it btw I am noob at modding so I have to ask, how did you like overwrite Skyrim 202X with Illustrious whiterun ? don't those two mods like fight each other ? yes as you can see I am really modding noob, so ... did you like first installed skyrim 202X and then Illustrious whiterun ? or what ? :DDD Btw 2 mods I can't live without is Inigo aka best follower ever and Equipping Overhaul or any variation to it, because I love to have visible multiple weapons on me like bow, sword, dagger :D
Hopefully you will upload a video version of a tutorial for this one (from vanilla skyrim SE to this).. Tried to follow the written doc, faces some issues. I must be that dumb. huhuhuhu
Great video I have been looking for a LO with few mods but on Xbox its kinda hard can you do a LO xbox oriented with less of 30 mods?
What I'm saying although the mysticism and adamant looks interesting since it's on Xbox
Been thinking about trying a modded skyrim run but I was kinda scared off by how daunting it seemed to get everything to work together. Then I saw this video & it provides exactly what I was looking for. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Awesome list, will give it a try. How taxing is the ENB? I have a 5700x and RTX 3070 for reference.
i get 55 fps with the upscaler on my 1060 and i7700k so you'll be fine
Thank you for sharing that - Are the mods listed in the notes in the proper load order too?
Load order wouldn't really matter as must of them touch different things - you must load parallax caves over skyrim remastered caves though
youve made me reinstall skyrim
Hey redshift thanks for the video. Im pretty new to modding just getting it setup. When you say your modlist is in correct load order is that the whole way down? so if I load them all in order top to bottom like in doc(first is Static Mesh Improvement -> Last is Compass Navigation Overhaul)
My mods included a variation on people's size, age and proportion. It's surprising how effective it is to see the variation in game.
I love light mod lists and am going to immediately start using this as a base. I think afterwards for my own tastes I will focus on adding some first-person based combat changes. Like maybe an archery overhaul and FP animation changes. Maybe also something to up the combat difficulty a bit without being spongy. Lastly any major unofficial patches and basic stuff. Trying to think of how I can get those things with minimal mod count.
Also, do you have a "full list" you can share, adding patches and stuff, or is this literally it? Thanks for the video btw!
@@jjongeneel22 My full list is 1000+ mods - these are just the heavy-hitters. I made a copy+patse of my LO on the about section of my channel
Any chance you’ll release a video on your mod management, preferred Skyrim version, etc? I feel like I’m not alone in saying that people are drawn to your overall modding style, not just 1 or 2 mods you recommend. I know I would greatly appreciate an outline on how you have things set up. I would pay for it in fact lol.
yeah maybe in the future i will - i've wrote this idea down as its definitely a good one
Do you use DynDoLod? The Majestic Mountains mod says its required but idk how to use or install it, last time I tried I messed up my whole game
