I still use Apocalypse - Magic of Skyrim. It's a permanent mod in my load order even when not playing as a mage.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Same. It's just such a smooth integration. Truly makes the magic much more versatile and interesting.

[@captainstroudly6393]

It’s in every load order and I always forget it’s there lol

Do you get experience for using the spells? I have had issues with that and spell mods. I also sometimes have issues with spells not doing Sun damage with ordinator.

"One handed increased to 34" That is a multi-layer joke and I got a proper belly-laugh at 1 am over it.

I just played "The Forgotten City" for the first time last week, as it was one of the mods supported by the "Legacy of the Dragonborn" mod. I spent over 12 hours trying to figure out how to get out of that place! Very well written! Falskaar is next on my list to discover.

I had no clue about the dev of forgotten city or the massive success of his mod, wow! Thats really impressive.

[@MarrockV]

I remember playing Clockwork when it was new... didn't really think of it as a horror mod but I did like it a lot, especially that item sorting system it had built in.

[@tomascernak6112]

You forgot "moonpath to elsweyr" One of first game extending mods with beautiful graphics, voice dubbing, "new" game mechanics and interesting storytelling. And made before Creation Kit release. So it was brutal hexediting and dissaembling of skyrim source files. Phenomenal feat for their time and still "must play" mod till today.

[@kylehankins5988]

To be honest I wouldn’t call apocalypse a forgotten mod, I think it’s still one of the most well known.

[@RandomUser2235]

Arcanum is a really cool magic mod that I think deserves that spot instead of Apocalypse because it’s still a top all time mod on Xbox, unlike Arcanum which I have never heard anyone mention as of recently

[@readyforlol]

Same with forgotten city tbh. Idk why the video is titled like that.

[@BrazenBard]

Not sure if The Forgotten City qualifies as a "forgotten" mod - it got rereleased as a standalone game recently, even!

[@tobybll]

Its so nice, the creator itself told me about his relase on steam because I wrote a huge fking review of his Skyrim mod and how it was the best thing I ever played. He later wrote me on Nexus that he will release his own game on steam, such a cool guy with such an awesome idea

I love Beyond Reach. Probably my favorite quest mod of all time for console!

[@theknave1915]

It be better if it was finished.

[@Tattle-by-Tale]

I play Beyond Reach if I feel like punishing myself for being too happy. The dialogue also annoys me. Every single person, even the lowest of the low beggar, speaks as if super highly educated. I disabled borders and took a tour of the map and less than half of the mod is even close to resembling being finished. What is there is well polished however.

[@jeffchronister4092]

I wish they brought back the pumping iron mod where your character starts out normal but through work and battle becomes bigger and more muscular. Also there was a mod where you had a wolf pup and it slowly grows as it adventures with you.

[@RoleCrow]

If you enjoyed the Forgotten City and want to support the authors, but think that since you already played the Mod you don´t need to play the standalone game, i would advise you to try it out, i played the Mod before the game and the standalone ads so much more to the narrative and changes so much of the world that it feels like a way better new experience!

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Even the other way around. For everyone who has played the standalone game should take a look into the mod as well.

[@Homarid1]

I actually did forget about the make your home mod. Completely forgot about the inspiration for the hearthfire dlc houses. Most of these mods are still around and updated for SE. Nice video.

[@FracturedShadow]

[@ItzFarmerJerry]

The forgotten city has been in my mod list for a while now. It’s probably one of if not my favorite mod!

[@honinakecheta601]

I used to use Arthmoor’s mod Open Cities and in hindsight, that mod was probably why my game was so damn buggy back then

[@Tattle-by-Tale]

Yes, Arthmoor used many bad modding practices for that mod, and never updated or rewrote it. Fortunately there are more modern mods that do the same, and they don't fuck your game up when using them.

[@Tearshia]

@@Tattle-by-Tale I'm interested. Which modern mods do you recomend?

[@zebracorn4281]

I love the idea of the Rivershack Mod, even though after the Anniversary Edition there's a ton of new great player homes, I still just prefer the amount of storage and ability to grow tons of ingredients in my custom house just north of Whiterun. Even the bigger houses, while giving lots of storage are subpar cause they're usually behind too many load screens. So far my favorite house is the hearthfire one with the name I can't even attempt to pronounce or spell. My 2nd favorite is the Abandoned House in Marthkarth that I use as a home until I have enough money and materials to buy and build a proper home. Somehow the a free home you get from starting a Molag Bol task that you can do very early in the game, has more than enough storage and organization for me than nearly every player home or safe storage area in the game. Only draw back for the Abandoned Home is you don't get the Well Rested perk for sleeping in the bed, and its so far west, its a pain in the butt when traveling, even with fast travel.

[@LolCat361]

That one handed skill going up at the beginning got me

[@thaumatomane]

Apocalypse is a staple! But I have to say, I LOVE that you are making these videos! It is like having Bridal back again!

[@mindassassin]

5 of these have been permanent additions to my game since I first found them. The only reason I stopped using Build Your Own Home is because I always use Legacy as a home now. ByoH is still better than any Hearthfire home. Economy Overhaul and Become High King are two I was never particularly interested in personally.

[@taymonkenton-smithply5735]

One not mentioned is Beyond Bruma. It's still my favourite of all time. The soundtrack alone I listen to more than any others.

[@DPS_GMs]

Great vid, definitely recommend both clockwork and forgotten city

[@Arronic]

and falskaar because of just how great the music was for it i could sit on top of the town roofs and just relax to the soundtrack knowing how much good ive done for the main questline

[@svenabel2987]

I recently played the Forgotten City and I was amazed. I probably got the fastest Ending and I didn't replay it yet. Still have no clue on where to find the shoes and gloves of the dwarven armor though. Apocalypse + Ordinator is an absolute blast (Ocato's Recital is still OP af), I usually don't start my playthroughs with a mage build but ever since I used those too mods I at least used more spells or even went for a complete mage build later in the game

[@seangarey3921]

Most of these mods are a must for any play through in my opinion. Im technically on my first modded play through . Ill play through my with my mod list and original game till es6 for sure. Great video

[@jimclayson]

"Forgotten City" and "Clockwork" are couple of my all-time favorite mods... and "Falskar" was also pretty good and definitely impressive. It's been around five years since I played any of them. All of them are a bit dated, but entirely worth playing through at least once. I played through "Forgotten City" (really, really fun premise, once you get into it) and "Clockwork" (the jump scares and suspense near the start are WONDERFULLY implemented... only mod to ever legitimately give me goosebumps) three or four times each, and "Falskar" once. I've never played "The Lost Wonders of Mzark," but it looks interesting and I might have to give it a try sometime.

[@tobybll]

The Forgotten City is my #1 fav. Quest mod in all of Skyrim. I played it so many times and it never gets boring!

[@irystocrattakodachithatmooms]

I personally recommend Project AHO as it is one of the best story mods ever made. It has an introduction on par with the base game introduction. The voice acting is also top notch and lore friendly down to a Kajiit speaking in the third person. It also expands on the Dwemer in a more sci-fi manner unlike most other mods. I mean, come on, what isn't great about looking into a Dwemer space program and poking about in custom ruins?

So what I heard from Clockwork is that it's a horror mod which after you complete can keep for yourself. For those who don't know that's how you get a cheap and really good home back in Oblivion. It was one of the coolest quests in the game and this mods from what I heard does the same which is really cool.

[@mitchcane2352]

Economy Overhaul and Speechcraft Improvements and Lost Wonders of Mzark are the only ones I'd consider to be anywhere near approaching "forgotten" status.

Ehh, if you look at the full Eldar Scrolls history you will find out that the emperor has always been a Nord and Dragonborn from the start, the first emperor was actually Tiber Septim who is also the saint/god Talos that the elves want removed as being one. So saying that siding with the Stormcloaks as being a traitor after knowing the full history, siding with the Stormcloaks is actually protecting what has always been from someone that wants to usurp control through a coup in the process of removing the long placed safety from Oblivion that the Dragonborn emperors have been providing.

There's a handful of REALLY powerful/abusable spells, certainly... particularly in Alteration and Restoration... but it's not like vanilla isn't at least as OP if you know where to look. The only way I can keep Skyrim semi-challenging and interesting is to crank up the difficulty with mods and consciously limit my build options. No Sneak, no Archery, no Conjuration (other than Bound Weapons sometimes), no Illusion, no (or severely limited) Enchanting... and no setting up a farm to grow Canis Root, Imp Stool and Mora Tapinella to produce tons of Paralysis/Lingering Damage Poisons that make defeating non-undead enemies trivial.
