Skyrim is known for its incredible modding community. Each day dozens of new mods are uploaded to The Elder Scrolls 5’s Nexus page for both Skyrim Special Edition and Legendary edition. While every mod is impressive, a few stand out as especially ambitious in their scale and scope, often times rivalling official game DLC content by Bethesda. It’s these expansion sized mods I wanted to focus in on today as they provide Skyrim players with hundreds, perhaps even thousands of additional hours’ worth of play time. So sit back and enjoy as we explore five of the largest mods ever created for The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.
There's an alternate universe where Skyrim is a mod for Enderal.
And it doesn't have any bugs
@@marianolaguzzi Todd Howard: Is there a way to learn this power? *Not from Bethesda.*
skyrim > enderal
Enderal is just a mess
@@christianrobloxserver7282 no not really.
Skyrim will outlast my grandchildren
Also the human race
Then who's going to play it crypto and pox or zim?
@@ajaxlukalkia6315It is said that long after the apocalypse cockroaches would be running around wearing horned helmets and carrying swords, screaming fus ro dah.
The year is 3769, humanity is destroyed, but a faint sound can be heard from a radio: "Skyrim is a big game"
Quoting that cartoon lady, "That's so very very sad!" *_TODD WHY HAVE YOU CURSED US?!_*
Still not as large as the amount of tiny details nate has shown us
Lol
Legend
I acualy watched line probably 98% of those episodes
666th like :3c
Skyblivion is so close to being finished, I cannot wait!
same!
How close?
Not so close, my man, they still have plenty to do
@@jaketheberge1970 You do realize that theese are Morrowind DLCs?
Erynash probably is getting Skywind and Skyblivion mixed, and Skywind is what they’re excited for so their mind filled “Blivion” with “wind” when skimming comments
1) 1:24 "Wyrmstooth" 2) 2:49 "Moonpath to Elsweyr 3) 5:05 "Beyond Skyrim: Bruma" 4) 7:49 "Enderal" 5) 10:19 "Forgotten City"
A true hero. Kind of an asshole move for the creator to not put this in the description
Which ones are on Xbox?
@@parthinaxe forgotten city and bruma are on xbox
Thanks!
I wish he would timestamp the mods in every video. Thanks a lot for this.
M'aiq has more quotes than there are atoms in Skyrim, some just aren't so obvious.
M'aiq The Liar he’s lying guys
@@mcuniboob5751 or is his name a lie and he is honest?
I always thought one of the biggest mods in Skyrim was M'aiq's butt.
TooDizzyForChooosingAName oh my god
“Some call m’aiq a liar”
I remember installing some of these mods and forgetting about them. Really rewarding when you accidentally stumble across a "dlc" you had no idea you had.
Which one did you stumbled across?
Glad people are still uploading Skyrim videos.
because moders like them made it immortal
Amazing series in story and gameplay
What about Morrowind? No one makes videos for that anymore! How come? It's awesome!
As if the games today matter enough to replace it? Whatcha think people everywhere are gonna start talking about Witcher 3, pubg modern warfare and roblox? Witcher has 2/200 in percentage of mods compared to skyrim. Pubg has hackers everywhere is mostly p2w and requires a god tier PC. MW isn't the same as MW2 no nostalgia what so ever. And roblox is roblox...What is there that can replace skyrim? NONE! NoThInG!
@@darklordthomaspie6293 First time I got it, it didn't work, it requires a toaster/potato shell. That is why no one talks about morrowind.
To all skyrim gamers how are you doing today? I want you all to know I'm rooting for you!
You have gained the rooted perk!
May your road lead you to warm sands
watch the sky traveler
beat skyrim with frostfall and withou fast travel
I'm an oblivion gamer, do I count?
To Bethesda, thank you for providing us with this masterpiece. To modders & team, thanks for working tirelessly, to keep this game alive up until these days To players, thank you for still hang in here and make this game still relevant, even it's already been 8 years since release (it's pretty long for a single player game)
dude quit the acid.
There's too many for one video IMO! My top 10 DLC mods and a few thoughts 1. Vigilant (just hands down the best, get the HD texture pack for it and lose yourself for a good 40 hours) 2. Legacy of the dragonborn (you'll get a good 100hrs from hunting all the relics and doing all the quests, of which there are several quest lines. Awesome new items and functionality too) 3. Beyond Skyrim: Bruma (no explanation necessary here) 4. Forgotten City (All points covered by Nate!) 5. Wyrmstooth (you can still find online if you look hard enough, though you will have to perform a manual install yourself) 6. The grey cowl of nocturnal (the music alone!) 7. Falskaar (impressive, though special edition has minor bugs at least with my experience) 8. Nyhus/Haafstad/Folkstead (adds part of Hammerfell, High Rock and the island of Kirkmore to the main skyrim landmass) Edit - be careful as this can cause stability issues. 9. Project AHO (looks and plays great, though if enabled getting the prompt every 12 in game hours when trying to finish other stuff gets annoying) 10. Voyage to the Dreamborne isles (you'll know this if you're a hardcore player, maybe I should rank higher come to think of it!) Not played: Glenmoril (does this fable even exist?) Clockwork (never heard of it other than it exists) The shire (conflicts with my other mods, cannot enable without frequent CTD) Maids II: Deception (never heard of it, someone tell me more!) Enderal (do I need a fresh install to play? Really want to give this a go) Honorable Mentions: Blackreach Railroad Valley of Outcasts Darkend Unslaad Sulfur and Fire (sequel to Mehrunes Dagon quest) Not recommended: Beyond Reach (amazing ambition and premise, execution and presentation not so good) Shadows of Dragonstar (old and buggy) Orsinium (landmass great but nothing else) Blackland (good fun but a bit too basic) Anything with Rigmor in it. Seriously. EDIT: Wheels of Lull, how could I forget!!
That rigmor mod doesn't have any patch for most endorsed mod that player have like imm citizen. jk skyrim. etac. its not compatible with many mod either
@@nalnal2871 Great point and exactly why I wouldn't recommend. Standalone on a new playthrough with no other mods yeah, but I think for the majority of us compatibility is everything
Enderal was released as a standalone game on Steam a few months ago. As long as you own Skyrim (Oldrim, not the Special Edition - doesnt have to be installed, just available in your library) you can download it for free and just play it like every other game that is on Steam.
@@Swaylor-Tift Fantastic, you have sorted my weekend plans! :D
@@rudymental254 You're welcome :D
Bruma is fantastic. The side quest of the bar owner and his dog genuinely brought tears to my eyes. Excellent work from Beyond Skyrim.
Will you ever cover those mods ? Like : "10 tiny details in Bruma, you may still have missed in the Elder Scrolls 5 Skyrim" Would love to see that !
Nope... Cause many ppl don't play modded DLCs
tbh that could be pretty interesting, esp for those of us who can’t/won’t play the mods themselves (thanks shitty laptop)! and the mod authors definitely deserve someone paying that close attention to their work :)
@@kellyannecoll 😅😅 yes.... The game is not well optimised at all...I run 200+ mods and I face lots of CTDs, long load screens...etc., and on the other hand I'm playing Assassin's creed Origins so smoothly! 😅 But since majority of the players don't used DLC sized mods, they'd stop watching his content.. I think like that
@@prajwalvs1659 well look at Bruma Everyone who played oblivion know about the area so it would still be very interesting !
@@kellyannecoll ikr ? I bet there are a lot of details or references especially in Bruma
Dude I’m subscribed to a lot of ppl but you are one of the only ones I watch instantly upon uploads keep it up brother
I started playing Enderal and oh my gosh you were right! It is basically a whole new game, it's huge! Thanks for the recommendation, I've been having loads of fun.
LOL! My nephew hounded his mom for the Switch port of Skyrim after he saw it on my PC. She caved. It's now transcended a generation in my family.
What is a switch port?
@@snazzler It's a port. To the Nintendo Switch.
@@heirofcaelos6698 thanks for the info
@@snazzler I'm not sure if that was sarcastic or not, but I'm going to say "You are very welcome friend!" I'm also not sure if my comment was sarcastic or not.
@@heirofcaelos6698 don't worry I was not being sarcastic nor are u
Mods like these are the reason I really want to get a gaming PC!
RoseBlood-Wolf yea same here!!
Same here, I've been saving up for a while
You can add mods on Xbox too.
You can get it on laptop either
Jeremiah Peak doubt any of these will be put on bethesda.net though
Anyone remembers Falskaar? One of the first dlc-sized mods
My first Skyrim mod I installed. Really enjoyed it
@@mslivka01 It was one of my first installed mods too. Back then the scale of that mod was so impressive. Now we get mods that are game-sized
I still play Falskaar from time to time, especially since I'm on console, meaning four of the mods on this list are unavailable to me, and I haven't nearly enough space for Bruma.
@@heirofcaelos6698 moonpath is in the wip mod section iirc. Not 100% sure if it works
Was wondering why it wasn't on this list....
I've never been more excited for a video! Keep it up Nate!
I love how big a fan you are. It shows in how much work you put into each of these videos. I'm glad I found you man.
I adore Skyrim modding conmunity, hands down the best modding community in gaming history. People don't realize how crazy this is, this take a lot of love and dedication.
Voyage to the dreamborne isles, legacy of the dragonborn, darkend, vigilant, unslaad, sulfur and fire, nyhus/haafstad/folkstead, valley of outcasts
Clockwork, Coldhaven, Wowbagger, Rigmor of Bruma, The Wheels of Lull :)
Project AHO, The Grey Cowl of Nocturnal, Pit Fighter
Beyond Reach, Carved Brink.
Thanks for that.
@@bonebreakerdraconis1131 *WOWBAGGER IS GREAT. NOT IMMERSIVE IN THE SLIGHTEST, BUT GREAT*
I have seen a lot of your tiny details videos, and other ones, but I figured I would FINALLY give you the sub you deserve, great content, and great job, keep up the awesome work my man
Thanks for your videos, it's always good to get new videos such as these. I gotta say I've seen pretty much almost all of your skyrim videos and have enjoyed them because there's always mods I missed.
Vigilant should definitely be on this list it was freaking huge! Probably the best mod I have ever played!
Vigilant of stenddar?
@@leonard9624 www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/67103
Thanks, too bad my skyrim patch is not 1.9 dunno where to get it patched
@@leonard9624 you on pc? Should be able to download it off steam
@@arronshepp91 thing is im not on steam..i i have a installer of the legendary edition give by a friend.seems like it was rip off from steam
Hey Nate, what graphics mods do you use? Your videos always look super good, and I’m just really curious 😊
Awesome video 👌. I was looking for a video showing off dlc sized mods like this. Thanks Nate 😁
I enjoy the mod videos overall more than your other ones. Please keep it up :)
Just finished playing through forgotten city and man what an amazing story, I'd love to see more of skyrim be like it. The unpredictable and non-linear nature of the story forced me to get so much more invested in what was happening cause I wasn't just following the arrow to the next objective. I was uncovering the mystery of the story myself. So cool 10/10
My brother and I love your videos 🔥🔥 thanks for the guides
Just came back to skyrim and started moddind! After such a long time its hard to descovery everything but your videos help a lot!
Another great video Nate keep it up! I really like these videos, informative, entertaning, and just all around very interesting.
I've tried all but the Enderal mod and agree they are all very good. Well designed and complimenting the Skyrim 's world. Can't wait to try Enderal after I finish Legacy of the Dragonborn, also suggested in one of your vids. Thanks Nate!
I know this is a bit late but play enderal if you haven't already. It is the best game I have ever played
I don't consider enderal a mod(though it may technically be one) , but a new game .
11:07 minor mistake Nate. It sends you *twenty* (or thirty it’s been awhile). Years into the past. When the previous settlers were there. Not when the dwemer. Just wanted to prevent any misinformation Love ya nate
7 years. :)
Been watching your vids for over 3 years and I finally subscribed.
Nice Video as always Nate
Skyrim is forever. So are these videos❤️
Incomplete. Nice words!
"Hey, how's it going, guys? Nate here." is the way that all great KZhead videos start.
Your videos always keep me playing this game haha
Great video hope too see more!!!
I was just about to move on with my life. Haven't touched my laptop for days.. *Welp, here we go again*
Hey you! You're finally awake!
@@roadhouse6999 You were trying to cross the border,right?
@@granola1307 Well back to China. Zhang? Prepare the catapult.
You can play Skyrim on a laptop?!?
@@menialbee yes. By the power of Grayskull. That is. You also must have the *_POWEEEEEEER!_*
The Forgotten city mod doesn't take place in another era, just some years back (about a decade I think).
Seven as i remember
Men the story of Enderal forgotten stories.... just incredible. I have no word for the feeling and the immersive side you feel when your play the main quest
Mister Dragonfly... U'v got to see this... this is amazing!
Forgotten City doesn't thrust you "thousands of years into the past." It's in inhabitants are human, and depending on your ending, may still remember you when you return to the present. I think it was like seven years into the past?
Yeah just 7 years into the past lol (replayed the quest some days ago so it's fresh in my mind) idk what Nate was on, but it isn't the biggest deal anyways
I'm surprised Legacy of the Dragonborn didn't make it on this list.
Because that mod is still in Skyrim region, not in totally different cell, i would recommend Vigilant on this list, Rigmor got Cyrodill world map too but sadly the plains itself is empty
@@rezaruki3912 I mean it has Moonpath integrated into it, so you could just swap them.
@@rezaruki3912 This video isn't specifically "out-of-skyrim" mods, just large DLC mods
Listening to the brief description of "Enderal" has me on the Nexus looking at it right now. Actually, it's installing, and I can't wait to jump into it! Considering I haven't quite played my character as "Dragonborn" (despite having done the major questline), it's going to be an amazing experience. Thanks for showing it, Nate, I can't wait to have as much fun with this as I have with "Rigmor" and others after watching your vids!
* *Everybody waiting for, forever for TESVI.* * Creators of Enderal: "Fine, I'll do it myself."
I love the gray cowl mod it takes to the home if the redguard and it's fun bit confusing in some parts
I remember the midnight release on 11-11-11 I was SO stoked to have it in my hands! I was lost in the world all night & morning. I went into work the next day with little to no sleep and all I was thinking about was skyrim. I got all my co-workers and boss into it lol and for the next 3 months we talked skyrim at work all the time! and here I am still lost into the world with ALL these amazing mods I still haven't played! I can't wait to create yet another character and get lost again in 2020! love this series!
Amazing! Exactly what I was looking for when typing "More maps for Skyrim"!
Okay but besides Forgotten City ofc, my favorite is Clockwork. It's a really amazing modded dlc and you get the Clockwork castle with it, and new npc's as well.
I took the long road on Forgotten City, really embraced the mystery. I found out afterwards that finding the “best” ending (which I did) was proving difficult for a lot of people, which just made my detective work all the more satisfying.
I used to jump on Bruma's rooftops to avoid guards, good old memories!
Just started a replay of Skyrim. I love this game so much!
Love your videos man plz keep it up 😎
Forgotten City is a mod that is just, pure genius. It's questline and storyline really hooked me, i can't wait for the 'actual' game for that game to be released!
Unslaad should definitely have it's place here if it was a top 10 for example, nice vid btw
If we're going to trow in Vicn's mods, we might as well go for Vigilant. Or even Glenmoril if it ever gets finished.
@@GalCon99 100% agree
My gods, I would like the video twice if I could. You my good sir... Have just inspired yet another playthrough of skyrim
Bruma was an amazing mod made with ridiculous quality. It feels so real, official, and of course nostalgic. That said, I spent a couple of hours looking everywhere for a main quest only to be disappointed when I eventually read there was no main quest yet.
Moonpath to Elsweyr was the first mod I decided to install. That time I thought that mods spoil the unique atmosphere of the game and it’s a shame to use it. [looking at the list of 100+ mods installed now] Ahhh that naive kitten...
Wait till you reach 400+ mod territory lol
What is the armour set in the thumbnail? Looks very cool.
Try the Skyrim Mordhau Armor and Weapons mod. They're on TeamTAL's patreon but you don't have to pay for it.
The helm seems like houndskull from kingdom come deliverance
@@Fayyadz4 the houndskull was a real helmet in the middle ages not just from kcd.
@@Gervaj79 can i use the mod with nexus mod manager?
@@leonardopoli6206 Yeah. You download the file and then install it manually via nexus mod manager.
Mod: Adds Anything Nate: You're Breathtaking!
I'm currently doing a Legacy of the Dragonborn playthrough for the first time and it seriously has to be one of the best implemented mods ever. It's an incredibly large mod that still seems to just slot so perfectly into the existing game. While most dlc sized mods seem to take place in their own world space.
I've played Moonpath, Forbidden City, Bruma, Falskaar, Grey Cowl (all excellent, especially Forbidden City and Grey Cowl), and in terms of size only, Vigilant (which just finished) felt like the biggest while Moonpath felt relatively small, so I guess surprised that a 'biggest/largest' list didn't include Vigilant.
"10 Tiny Details You May Have Missed About Enderal"
Do you happen to have your modlist somewhere? I really wanna know what enb/ lighting mods and if you are using climate mods.The lighting in your skyrim looks awesome. Very good videos too, keep it up.
forgotten city is one of my absolute favorites ever. i can always get behind a small sized mod with tons of depth and good voice acting versus large one's with little depth
I personally found Moonpath to Elsweyr to be absolute dogshit. Like, really jank. NPCs didn’t path through it well at all, quests were jank, terrain was crude and often broken, the way the map worked was obnoxious, etc. I genuinely don’t think it deserves all the praise it gets. There were some aspects I liked, but not enough to balance it.
By current standards, I agree. But keep in mind how early the mod came out. I hear someone’s redoing the mod and that the Beyond Skyrim team is “taking it under their wing,” which I’d assume means they plan on incorporating it into their Elsweyr mod. So that should be interesting.
Is it really bad or just decent-but-not-great? I was thinking of installing it :(
I LOVE new land DLC/mods. I adore Skyrim, but being able to leave and explore other parts of Tamriel is just great. Dragonborn, Bruma, Moonpath, Mask of Nocturnal just make me want to play the game more and more, despite the fact that I've already played it numerous times already. I look forward to seeing more. TES VI may be on its way, but it's gonna have to be AMAZING, and it's modding scene even moreso, to make us forget about Skyrim.
This needs to be a series
I am playing Wyrmstooth this week! I'm really enjoying it!
Some guards will say "psst I know who you are hail sithis" when you're in the dark brotherhood
I'm going to make Todd happy and just buy Skyrim for PC so I can play Skyblivion
I heard u also need a copy of Oblivion on pc to play Skyblivion
And u need a copy of morrowwind to play SkyWind
Really? No problem then. Soon as I get a new computer, it's Steam ahoy! :-D 😎
Yep I just read it on their discord
Yeah and dont forget that little bit that goes to Gaben. *For how's he supposed to make Half Life 3*
nate talk about skyblivion!! Love your videos!
I just finished the forgotten city. It was great! I CANT wait to try these others!
Rigmor of Cyrodiil should be on this list. The worldspace added is huge, although a bit empty as there´s little more than the mainquest. Still worthwhile, even if you want to just have a look around and enjoy the landscape. But the story is awesome, too, can´t wait for the next one :D And since you mentioned Vigilant at the end, could you maybe make more videos about ongoing projects? I´ve seen that the creator of Vigilant has two more mods, Unslaad and Glenmoril, but I´ve seen no mentions of them in any modlist vids I´ve watched so far. Seems a shame as Vigilant is and prbly will forever be the best questmod for Skyrim
MajorMoron it was really bad compared to the original or any quest mod in fact.
> Not mentioning Vigilant Heresy!
Vigilant is such a good mod, it's like Skyrim and Dark Souls had a baby
@Souper Effective the mod was literally modelled after dark souls
But he did mention Vigilant, right at the end. It just wasn't one of the mods on spotlight.
@Souper Effective From playing the mod.
@Souper Effective The mod author, Vicn, has stated as such. One of his other mods, Unslaad, is also based on it (particularly, the Painted World of Ariamis), and his last, Glenmoril, is based on the Witcher.
Congrats on getting to 1 million subs!
You are my fav youtuber and I love the skyrim community imo it is the best gaming community
This shit good keep doing it pls
I really need to try Enderal, I've been looking at it on the Nexus for a few months now not sure if I was ready for a new experience like that
It’s on Steam now as well. Also if you get the steam version, not only do you get the DLC, it doesn’t overwrite the Skyrim LE files(it just copies the Skyrim assets it needs into its own folder) so you can play both LE and Enderal without having to back up any files, etc
I have been waiting for Nate to cover Moonpath for a long time
I would love to see some videos done about The Forgotten City mod for Skyrim. It is such an incredibly well-made quest mod :)
You can play Enderal as a stand alone game on steam...so yeah not exactly a dlc I would also like to mention Vigilant, a somewhat dark souls inspired mod (in terms on designs) and has you travel to oblivion where the majority of the mod takes place. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND
I felt Vigilant was too end-heavy and there were times I ended up frustrated with things. Like how you have the whole early fight with Molag Bal and then get owned by a mere mage right after. :/ Also the ghost that can kill you through even God Mode in Chapter 3 was bullshit.
I’ve just started playing The Forgotten City. Just got the key to the Lakehouse and the spookiness *already* is making me want to *NOPE* on out of there
Darkend is one of my favorites, it’s a dark souls inspired island called Pharos which is based around the idea of not having quests. The quests aren’t logged with your other ones, you have to find stuff out morrowind style.
I'd love to know your visual mod set up, I love how your game looks! Are you playing the Legendary Edition ?
Today , we , fellow gamers , united here , in the comment section of Nate's channel , to pay our respects to those who have fallen the path of console gaming. I being a part of that community , know thy pain. We cannot download big mods for Bethesda gaming. And these videos , hurt even deeper. Press F to pay respects... But then press W , and move on to pc gaming.
I feel you
My game crashed all the time
I got into PC gaming solely for modding Skyrim and Fallout games. Consoles are still my primary way to game, but every Bethesda game I purchase on PC. Fellow console players, I urge you to do the same.
Moonpath, Bruma, and The Forgotten City are on the Xbox tho.
Bane's Super Brutal Metal Funtime yeah, surprisingly Xbox has really good mod support
Legacy of the dragonborn. Hands down the best mod for a completionist and lore enthusiast
Sadly that mod isn't compatible with the Legend of Zelda DLC mod, even with patches. Apparently you may need to use some console commands if you plan on using both mods.
Legacy worth having. All of those end bosses you defeat in dungeons that carry a unique mask, sword, or armor now mean something. I used to get uniques and compare them to my equipment and then turn around and sell most of them. Not anymore. It belongs in a museum. Also legacy will adapt itself to some of your other mods allowing you to store new weapon mods into the museum.
Kudos to Mebantiza for his excellent work on the upgrades with his Moonpath to Elsweyr Navmesh Fixes not too long ago. It is definitely a fun and unique diversion and looks great for it's age because of his talent .
Those are good ones, especially Enderal is amazing, I've beaten it twice so far. Interesting NPCs is a big mod on older Skyrim that adds flavor to the game with quests for these new characters, hope it comes to SSE one day.
On your next Skyrim video you should say Skyrim is large animals hunted for sport - aka big game
Day 2 of asking for you to do best Companion mods, purely to shine a spotlight on Inigo
Yeah, Inigo is possibly the best companion mod I've ever installed
I can't believe that you haven’t featured VIGILANT mod in your channel yet Nate. Really this mod is criminally under rated
He mentioned it in this video : kzhead.info/sun/gc56qcara3V_n6s/bejne.html
So many mods out there with loot and adventure. I would love if someone managed to successfully make all the mods that add those things compatible with each other and Skyrim with it's official DLCs/Creation Club stuff all combined together creating a even vaster game.
"I'm Elf" lol
The mods are so large it crashed KZhead for me
Clockwork was a pretty big one too! And its lore might be my favorite in any mod Ive ever played.
Dude your voice has such a asmr effect whenever I watch your videos my spine goes brrrrrrr
