20 IMMERSIVE Skyrim Mods You Must Try In 2024! | Immersive Skyrim Mods Episode 8

[@SynMods]

Play War Thunder now with my link, and get a massive, free bonus pack including vehicles, boosters and more: playwt.link/syngaming2023 Hi, I hope you guys enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed making it. The video covers Immersive Mods, which I personally describe as creations that simulate realism to certain degree & mods that help with getting lost in the fantasy setting. All listed mods work for Skyrim Special Edition & Skyrim Anniversary Edition, with 1 exception. Q: "Can you cover console mods?" A: Sorry, but most likely not. Technical capability for consoles is very limited, and my main focus is on PC. Q: "Mod List?" A: There are 2 visual overhauls on my Discord that you can access, with a guide holding your hand from start to finish. It's what my own work in progress mod list is based on. The mod list used in this video is currently private and will be released some time in the future, once I feel like it's a complete product. Q: "Why are your female characters looking like porcelain dolls?" A: Most of the female character presets in my video(s) are characters created by other women in the community. Let's please end this weird bigotry where we think only dudes play and mod video games. If these presets offend you for some reason, rest easy knowing you don't have to use them yourself. How you mod the game and what you use is completely up to the individual preference, and hopefully capable of doing so without insulting others for their choices. Q: "By the way, what the hell is that outro?" A1: I was bored. A2: I'm a romantic at heart. A3: I was really bored. (Only one answer is true).

thanks for this awesome video

[@someunfunnyguy9574]

I spent my summer trying to learn Skyrim modding, and I have no regrets.

[@VSN-wb2ly]

Ok now I have question for you, if you already knew and used dyndolod. You probably run into message "overwritten large reference", what's that mean and how can I solve it?

[@doner6843]

@@VSN-wb2ly in advanced settings should be a box to select "Large reference bug fix" or something along those lines

[@robbypodobinski824]

I'm going to finally start my modding journey soon.... im so freaking overwhelmed. Any words of wisdom?

[@soukio2175]

@@robbypodobinski824 take it slow and read the description and check compatibility of each mod. Also make sure you use MO2 and organize each mod that you add.

[@vuurmen]

Where did you learn it?

[@elenadostoyevska3465]

Never underestimate Syns ability to have you reinstall Skyrim. here we go again I guess...

[@JoshuFoFo]

At this point I’m just keeping it. Downloaded nolvus and modified its list instead of starting from scratch

[@claysayshola]

Why did you even uninstall it lol

[@BasilBeesLair]

Good luck soldier o7

[@SCSAsJorts]

Rule number 1 of Skyrim, never uninstall that itch for it will always resurface 😂

[@ForemostCrab7]

Lydia just being bored out of her skull is hilarious. like "the Dragonborn is suppose to save the world, aaand they're here...Fishing?"

[@BasilBeesLair]

"Listen Lydia I can't save the world if i'm burnout! Now shut up and give me one of those fish sticks"

[@syphamiku]

I love all of your characters and was wondering if you have a playlist/video covering the mods you use for them or if you would consider making. The armor and customization is amazing!

[@WillFelipe]

I think it's amazing how content creators about Skyrim mods don't promise anything but deliver everything. You don't need all that fancy, but you still do it. I admire that a lot. It seems like you really love what you do.

[@lonewanderer6172]

Gonna try these mods for my next playthrough, thank you so much for making this :) Btw, i saw that your characters talked whenever you picked a dialogue option and it looked really good

[@TheMidnightwolfess]

i need to know what hair you are using because those braids in the outskirts section are beautiful

[@stonespiralgaming]

Another great video @SynMods! and thank you for taking the time to showcase my mods

[@barmeyblonde]

When you spend days to weeks putting a video together of amazing mods to try out and all anybody wants to know is what hair and armor mod you're using. Your videos are so well made and beautiful to watch. You do a great job of showcasing mods, making every one of them feel must-have. Thanks for taking the time and sharing your awesomeness with us. There are a few in there I didn't know about and will be adding to my LO. Now about your hair and armor...😅

[@asesinodedios1890]

seriously ..what hair mod/s are you using

[@BloodyReaper87]

HG Hairdos 2 maybe? Was looking for more hair mods with hdt-smp other than KS and that was one I found. Haven’t tried it yet but looks promising with over 300 to choose from.

[@SynMods]

Every time you post a comment, it's always the most wholesome and encouraging words I read. Thank you for that :) Hairs in this video are mostly from Fuse00, she made multiple packs for both lads and ladies.

[@barmeyblonde]

@@SynMods Fuse00 is such a fantastic designer. Thanks for sharing your source. As a filmmaker, I genuinely appreciate the time and attention to detail you out into your showcases. It's visual storytelling, advertising, and information that consistently makes your viewers want to have what you have, without being too much of any of those. Thanks again, Syn! Have a lovely week and know that you are appreciated.

[@MarkAVP]

I need your entire modlist, as a collection. Please! I would pay for it gladly!

[@Chris-is5ks]

Can you share your mod list? I am sure you may have done this before but I love the way your game looks and as an editor myself I love the way your videos look 🎉

[@suerose9849]

easily the best looking skyrim i've seen, hands down

[@Harpodicus]

Amazing showcase! The carriage driver with three faces was a highlight 9:06

[@TheAjolly]

I came across this at 3am man your editting and presentation is very very good please keep this up thank you for being awesome!

[@fazureofficial]

It was really nice at the end how Soldier Geralt kissing the lady from Sound of Music immediately cuts to a clip of WW2 war machines going at it

[@iconick3153]

What armor is your female character wearing at the start of this video? 0:00-0:10??? Your character was also wearing this armor in the last video you made before this one as well and I haven’t been able to find it anywhere! Great video btw! Looking forward to overhauling my Skyrim again soon. But out of all these mods, I’m dying to know what armor that is

[@Coi2369]

Its actually a mashup of different armor pieces. Twilight princess armor Mashup and COCO Shadow Assassin. I asked too but no one answered so I took the time to figure it out myself lmao

[@woodsmn8047]

I never play Skyrim SE because of the lack of my oldrim favorite mods that either did not get ported over or they lost their MCM menus for configuring the mod in game which for many mods was crucial to the function of the mod ...perhaps I will get back into modding the game ... this video makes me think I should ...great mod group by the way ..!

[@TheParagonIsDead]

Ulvenwald is amazing, best tree mod on nexus. Ps. If you like a more vanilla feel, wigfrids tree replacer (made by same author) uses some of the same meshes, but has better performance, while still keeping the vanilla artstyle.

[@PhattyBolger]

Legit freaked out when I saw Sons of Skyrim. NordwarUA's Guard's Armor Replacer was my absolute favourite mod on my last playthrough and he's knocked it out the park again. It looks absolutely amazing. Like he took what he did last time and just improved it slightly. So brilliant. A true master modmaker.

[@TheUnoriginalGamersArmy]

Great video!!! whats the braided hair youre using @9:30 ?

[@toddvergith9485]

I have never bothered with the hair physics, but after finding your channel and watching several of your videos. I have spent several days getting it to work. Now that I have it working, I don't know why I went so long without it!

[@SilentProt]

Had no idea ulvenvald was updating doing that now thanks syn lol

[@Hoboken90]

December again , 33 years old, still havent managed to beat Skyrim due to eternal modding loop. Its Christmas and im up for spending 30h installing mods just to play 1h. Every year i try to convince myself this is gonna be the ultimate skyrim walkthrough , wish me luck

[@raichu4game932]

so... it was the ultimate one?

The fashions are interesting, but damn, every time I watch, all the characters, even the Dovahkiins, are Mega beautiful. I don’t even know, my eyes run wild and I can’t decide whether it’s UNP or CBBE 😵‍💫

[@ladyfox6705]

Yay, I see my friend Shane's tents! Thank you, Syn 🙂 Nice video, as always. I'm compiling a list of new mods to try in my next LO, but sadly I cannot have animated tents or hair on Xbox 😞, but I really love your char's hair at the start - very pretty!

you might get tents, but hair... yeah that isnt gonna happen I'm afraid xx

@@feliciab5019 my comment was more to do with Xbox not having skse or hdt. My tent mods will work just fine on Xbox, as far as the game engine is concerned they are trees with leaf animations

It would have been funny if the lady tripped on a stone at the end ;)

[@Peptuck]

The worst part about Syn is that I have to go on multi-hour binges of his content to find all the amazing stuff he's discovered.

[@transgirl2106]

Omg this is what Skyrim can look like now?!😍 Is there a modlist where I could download all these at once or do I have to find each one on Nexus?

[@sonderbain]

Wake up WAKE UP, babe! New Syn gaming video!!!

[@rinsant7401]

What armor are you using in 4:10? I know its Twilight Princess armor but it looks different idk if is a combination or what :c

[@socaldayve6684]

really love the idea that people finally get to use blankets after all these years 🛌

[@ArdannaL]

It would be awesome if mode lists like this one could be made into collections. I just struggle to summon the gumption to do this all manually anymore.

[@Chris-is5ks]

You should check out gate to sovengarde collection on nexus mods I use that as a base and add to it. Has a lot of the idle animations and really switches up the game

[@thiagocarvalho2854]

@@Chris-is5ks Thanks for the tip, i was looking for a modpack that was a bit more performance and immersion focused, than heavily graphic modded... I'm gonna use this as a base and see if theres more to add so I can play skyrim again, it's been years since I last played it for longer than 15 minutes...

[@everwake2689]

The innkeeper showing you to your room has always annoyed me. It's gotten to the point where I just run ahead and look for the bed myself lol

Great video bro! Whats the Nord preset you have on the video art?? 😅

[@Dovahkiin209]

Fuse’s Daenarys hair so gogeous and i love it but with only 1660ti i just always get a little more than 20fps when trying to use that hair lol

[@laufert7100]

What's the sword you're using at 8:23? It's really cool! Awesome video as always

[@SynMods]

It's a sword from the Viridian Armor Set.

[@justindurfee9375]

The only thing that would have made noncombat activities like mining, woodcutting and fishing more practical from a gameplay and immersion perspective would be to change the categorical identification of the items needed for their use from weapon to miscellaneous. Then you could fish without having to physically equip the rod. While the mining pick, wood ax, fishing rod and torch can technically be used as weapons, they're sorely unsuited for the role and extremely impractical as such. Not to mention that their DPS values are woefully inadequate for combat and can't be improved.

[@lolwateva53]

uhm... ok

[@StinkinLinkin]

Camping / Survival playlist with followers is what I'm looking for

[@julienmecheri2038]

Thanks for helping us to improve our skyrim ^^. Can u remember what's hair are u using 11:16 , i tried to find it on Nexus without result :/

Character Overhaul pleaseeeeeeeeeeee. Yours are the best I-ve seen so far and beyond

Have you thought about compiling the mods that you use into a modpack? Lorerim looks interesting but lacks some of the mods I'd like to implement. Like Sons of Skyrim for example

[@placeholder5982]

I don’t even have skyrim, but I still do like your videos, thinking one day I will start skyrim modding as hobby. your suggestions are not so over the top, and are grounded to keep skyrim still skyrim, but just improve upon it. It would be great if you can do a next gen modded playthrough with skyrim. The way how you would mod it.

[@danmoua7686]

It looks so beautiful (maybe go into cpu)... Ah skyrim lovers making the game great again 😁 I love the Hair Espcially 💞

I love how you mage character looks like very gorgeous. Can you indulge me by showing a screenshot of your sliders for that character?

[@SteffanLandry]

I just LOOOVE these... Sorry for being that guy, but what is your character wearing at 0:34 - 0:40. I have been looking for good looking clothing for the longest time and they never seem to look half as decent as this.

[@RotaFury]

Bunch of these look really good and i may have to grab a few for my current modding project....i do have one question though what mod/s are you using to have you're models look so good?

[@thomjohn98]

Great video.. I have a question as to what replacers you are using and character preset.. Love the clothing and are you using the KS hair smp version? My followers, character, etc, don't look as good as yours do.. What EMP are you using? Everything looks great and acts like it should.. My game is too cartoonish... Need help, please!!! Keep making videos as the are inspiring.. All the best in 2024...
