you should put the mods you cover into nexus collections I'd like to have everything you recommend in one

[@Yuki_Ika7]

I use it and I recommend it

[@benstoyanov6030]

I'm the mod author of Elven Ears for Breton NPCs! Thank you so much for the showcase :)

[@bradleydelay]

I love your mod, but I always was wondering if anyone would make a more cohesive Breton appearance overhaul, making the NPCs match the aesthetic style shown in Oblivion's strategy guide. I really liked their fae-like appearance.

[@HeavyBurns]

Fantastic work , thanks for the cool mod :))

[@kertgp8275]

thanks for this mod I been enjoying this a lot I was annoyed that Bethesda left this key feature out for Bretons. I didn't even know Coronach was a Breton till now

[@XG417]

Thank you so much! I play a Breton character and this is very welcome visual enhancement for them! Thank you for your work!

[@connorwisnom645]

dude such a simple mod that makes such a big difference. I always thought it was strange how Imperials, Bretons and Nords have basically looked the same since Daggerfall.

[@cain9851]

I wasn't expecting a mod like Valenwood anytime soon it looks great and reminds me of Moonpath to Elswyer, but with more detail since with ESO we have a idea of what landmarks and creatures are there

[@ahistoric_gamer9716]

Mihail is the primary reason I got back into Skyrim. His mods just fit so well, adding creatures that fit naturally into the world of the Elder Scrolls, whether they be lore friendly or from other fantasy games ❤

[@101Mant]

I thought the Matrix Sentinels and Bioshock Big Daddy reskinned as dwarven were a bit much but the rest has been really good.

[@ahistoric_gamer9716]

@@101Mant Okay maybe some don’t fit as neatly but they are interesting interpretations. Oh don’t get me started on those Dwarven sentinels. I hate them with a passion 😂

The necrophages mod is so good

[@Creepymoose135]

Tbh, I don't see a proper save file without at least one Mihail mod pack or 3-4 smaller mods

[@Creepymoose135]

This channel saved my hopes for elder scrolls 6, the modding community should save it even if Bethesda kills it

[@bananacheese6864]

That's always been part of their design that modding will fix it

[@101Mant]

Vanilla Skyrim has bad graphics, dull quests and NPCs, bad combat bad stealth and so, so many bugs and other issues. I've spent 100s of hours in Skyrim, modders have made it excellent and it's one of my favourite games. Just be prepared to wait a decade before ES6 gets really good.

[@TheThrashingBurton]

Although it pains me to buy Bethesda games. I know that some of the talented mod authors out there need our endorsements. Sometimes their portfolio of work gets them their dream job.

[@mingrui1862]

I don't think it's an issue of "if", but more of they have killed it. They won't even give us any info after all these years. I'm through wasting my time waiting on their empty promises. To me they rate up there with Acti-Blizz and how they destroyed a solid mmo and screwed players. Modders hold and show the passion to push Skyrim further and further.

[@d3anims97]

As the saying goes, "the real Elder Scrolls 6 is the mods we made along the way."

[@CaporegimeMarcus]

Me This Morning: "I finally finished my new Skyrim mod list! Time to actually play the game!" Heavy Burns: "Welcome Back to-!" Me Now: "Ah sh**, here we go again..."

[@cratoss.4772]

Why not add mods while you are playing? I'm still on my first playthrough of skyrim and I just add mods as I'm going through with the game no need to start a new charcter for every mod you add.

[@CaporegimeMarcus]

@@cratoss.4772 Some mods require a new game but my original post was more about how I spent the last 2 weeks building my load order and now I have to check it again. Don't misunderstand though, this is a happy problem for me to have and I really look forward to whenever there's a new Skyrim mods video! XD

[@isaacsanchez2003]

@@cratoss.4772 adding mods halfway through your play through is not good practice lmao

[@cratoss.4772]

@nooooo but most mods are safe no,if they are not the authors are often kind enough to say that it isn't in the description. Besides most of the mods I add are creature or weapon mods all of which are more often than not safe to add mid playthrough. All of mikhails mod I added mid playthrough and I've yet to run into a problem,besides it certainly beats obsessing over ones load order instead actually playing the game I swear some people are too autistic for their own good smh😪. If it works it works.

[@Casuahly]

@@cratoss.4772 i added like 300 and thought I was ready and then I added like 150 more midway through I don’t get a single ctd. As long as you read the descriptions and aren’t downloading whatever willy nilly then it should be fine

[@viniciusvyller9458]

Undead snow elves, now thats a mod that should be included in a Snow Elven dungeons mod. Always felt weird that Skyrim was their home, but the only ruins are in the Forgotten Vale.

[@mclovin7969]

Well that’s probs cus the Nords absolutely abolished them all and they hid in the Forrgotten vale from both the Dwemer and Nords. Don’t forget they all got enslaved by the dwarfs aswel💀.

[@TheArtkaw]

Something so cozy when seeing so many minor yet immersive mods on display

[@passionatelobster1226]

Technically, the Udryfrykte was also in Oblivion, but it had 100% chameleon for some reason, so Bloodmoon was still the last time we SAW it. (except that one in the dark brotherhood questline in skyrim)

[@galliumgames3962]

I really hope we see AI used to vastly expand NPC dialogue and interactions to be on par with Morrowind, where your characters deeds, race, factions and maybe even background and abilities has a strong impact on how you interact with the world, except 100% voiced. It’s already being used in some mods and while not perfect, if far more flexible then the splice method that’s restricted modders from expanding existing characters and quests for so long.

[@galliumgames3962]

@Black Star They already did that, look up Skyrim voiced protagonist.

[@CaptPanda]

Love all the mods showcased. The EldenRoot looks sooo interesting. Would love to try these mods out. Amazing video as always

[@HeavyBurns]

Thanks man! Yeah elden root was a suprise how big it was , defiently worth a look :))

[@CaptPanda]

@@HeavyBurns can’t wait for your next showcase! :)

[@aurielissonofauriel3009]

I really hope the Elden root mod has compatibility/Synergy with song of the green, even if it’s just an update to the latter. Auri Might be considered an apostate, but it’d be nice to be able to take her home again. If it’s not a thing now I do hope it’s added in the future

[@tanyltorres7713]

Another correction @Heavy Burns , this is for the Mod that on your screen you show is spelled as ELDENROOT, however if you type it in as you showed you will find a different mod called ELDENROOT - Simple Lush Trees. The correct spelling is Elden Root - A Tale of Valenwood. If you space isn't put in, you won't find the correct mod.

[@RedBagMods]

Thanks for including my Druid's Hut!

[@khayyin359]

I recognized that style immediately, and figured it was either yours or someone you okayed to use those assets. Looks great ❤️😁

[@kembel2761]

Damn, that hobbit hole probably cost $2,500 a month on rent

[@janebannister9793]

Elden Root, brilliant mod looks like it's from ESO.

[@florianwurmseer9203]

The videos on this channel feel like actual short films like The Alchemist. Incredible what an old engine can achieve with some new meshes, textures and obiously the nice cutting and edititng of the footage. Aside from the ads (I know it's neccessary) the videos are masterpieces.

[@dexmods8055]

these all look amazing!! several of these mods i hadn't seen or heard of yet, much appreciated for you showing them all also thanks for showcasing my mod Kalnn (vampire's hobbit hole) btw! 🖤

I cant stop modding skyrim and I Never get to play it because your awesome videos wont let me😂

[@arkeshn729]

My steam says I have 800+ hours between Oldrim and SE.. at least half of that is mod switching and testing. I haven't "finished" the game in years but I play it at least once a month.

[@dragonrykr]

I mean most of these mods have a tiny amount of downloads because they haven't been updated in years and some even have crashes and bugs, like the last one.

[@eltrew]

I'm really glad elden root was included, the auther seems to be very excited about their own project so this might give se exposure to them.

thanks heavy! i’ll definitely be installing some of these

[@ChrissieBear]

Bretons don't have elf ears because it's a super rare trait, like horns on Bosmer.

[@iamgreysian4016]

Please tell us which fantastic graphical mods you used to enhance the visualization!

[@igavinwood]

Another great vid highlighting the talented modders that keep this game alive. As our friendly Riften Dumer says "Thank you. I really appreciate all you've done for me." Really like the look of Eldenroot. Personally, all the vampire mods (including warebeast and zombie) are just too much crossover. You know, sometimes less is more. So I'll stick to those interesting expansions of men, mer and environment. Though it's good to see wonderfully designed mods for those that want vampires, etc. They are in the game afterall, so whatever floats your boat, right?

[@yuribakalets6700]

Honest question! I just started playing Skyrim after over 5 years since last time I played, and found out about the Mods (shocker, I know). Can I implement the Mods into an already existing Saved Game, or do I have to start a new Character for them to implement?

[@sonnymastrangioli]

Book of Creed by Monitor144hz. Its Patreon sub at the moment but when paired with all the sneak/ai/crime mods, master of disguise and using them with Paraglider, it essentially ports all mechanics from basically every Assassin's Creed game to Skyrim as Book of Creed finally adds AC style Assassinations! Now we just need mountain climbing for normal, Conan Exiles/Tomb Raider style climbing and also has Prince of Persia/AC style parkour built in. After that modding Skyrim pretty much done.

[@stuntmc17]

Hey, great contents but I'd really suggest to improve your reading skills. In particular, the tone and rhythm. The way how you read is monotone, the cadence and rhythm are extremely repetitive, causing fatigue to the listener. For example, if you pay attention and listen to how you conclude each of your phrases, cut the last three words and alilgn them all one after another in your editirial session, you hear the exact same notes, rhythm and accents in each one of them. That will help you understand how much that could even unconsciously annoy the viewer. Again, your video are astonishing beautiful. Especially the video editing and music, I also appreciate those whooshes and some other sfx. I'd just work on your reading skills that need to improve in quality, making sure that you reading varies in cadence, rhythm and tone. Also, add frequent pauses when you read! They really missing here and much needed. You can even hire a narrator, that would definitely improve your videos and your channel. Great work overall. Hope that helps.

[@SomethingIndifferent]

I'm having a issue when I last played skyrim it was working fine but after not playing it for a few months I thought I'd give it a go and it would load me in but my character was missing there head and would not save any of the looks for my character and now when I try load the game it won't load on to the main menu it's just stuck on infinite load anyone know how to fix this?

[@gusfury4700]

[@dravinblack]

killer intro

[@Blackread]

I don't think bretons having pointy ears is strictly lore friendly. To my knowledge the elven ancestry is so diluted that bretons don't have any physical elvish traits anymore. There's nothing wrong with the mod itself, but calling it lore friendly is a bit misleading.

[@grymmoire]

There’s a book in Skyrim about Bretons that says their elven features have not vanished, and UESP states that they can have pointed ears.

[@Patch2112]

Depends on the lore that you’re looking at. Older lore describes Bretons as far closer to Mer, having long spindly limbs and ethereal features. Google “Oblivion Breton Art” to see an example. In reality it’s probably a varying scale. Some Bretons have elf ears, some have human ears

[@Blackread]

@@grymmoire The reference in UESP for bretons having pointy ears is them being available for bretons in the ESO character creation. ESO happens in the second age some thousand years before Skyrim. I assume the book you are referring to is "Modern Day Bretons: Man or Mer?". It says the following: "Elven physical features such as pointed ears, angled faces, slender bodies, and distinctive eyes gradually faded." It also says that Bretons were only allowed to have children with humans, so it stands to reason that the elven physical traits have further faded from the time of ESO. Of course much of the Elder Scrolls lore is up for debate and Bethesda retcons stuff all the time. But based on these sources my conclusion would be that according to the lore the vast majority of bretons don't have pointy ears.

[@grymmoire]

@@Blackread I think it's a stretch to say it's misleading to mention the mod is lore friendly. I imagine people can come to their own conclusions about it.

[@Blackread]

@@grymmoire Could be, lore friendly as a term is not very well defined and has a wide variety of meanings depending on who's using it.
