The Best Skyrim Mods of the Year (2023 Hall of Fame)

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Which mods released this year do you think were the best/your favorites? For me, I think you already know I'm a fan of lilson's NPC replacers... and even though there has been insanely good gameplay and immersion mods released this year, these NPC replacers just take the cake for me with their design and thoughtfulness. 🍰🥇

[@cedricdallaire3324]

How can such an old game still be more exciting than all the crap AAA games coming out this year and the last 5years

[@Alistoteles]

Probably all Environs stuff,Siberpunk did a real masterpiece , I can add JaySerpa but he's always cooking cool stuff so it's unfair choose just him.

If I had to choose one mod as best mod of the year, it would obviously be Skyclimb. The game is completely changed with it, it's a monumental break-through

The quality of your videos are outstanding. From the narration to the editing work, the visuals, the production quality is so polished that it's downright criminal for your to only have 23k subscribers. Thanks for all your amazing work this year. 2024 might be the year I reinstall Skyrim thanks to you.

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

You're too kind- thank you! :D 23k is more than I ever could've dreamed of haha, so I'm more than happy! I hope you reinstall and do a fresh playthrough next year, this game keeps on being amazing, and the mods even more so :)

[@JonnyCrackers]

So many great mods came out this year, but I think my favorite is Wheeler. It's simple, but so much more convenient than the vanilla menus, especially if you're a mage and you use lots of spells.

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

True, it's super convenient! A really nice addon, and feels smooth to use.

Hello . . . . my name is ______ , and i am a skooma addict! All we need now is a 12 Step mod for skooma addicts. Another great video! It does seem like the quality of mods in a lot of categories just keep getting better and better. Makes it hard to pick favorites.

[@inkyGhosty]

Environment and exploration mods continue to be my favourite way of adding life to new playthroughs. That is if Bethesda stops breaking old mods with updates for a minute!

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Aghh the updates always mess everything up, that's for sure! And yeah I do agree with you on that :D

[@Akeran]

Imo it's better to just stick to one version of Skyrim and not updating it further, unless the mod is only compatible for a recent version...

[@Mr-tu4cj]

Yeah I’d just stay at the previous version (1.6…. Something with a 4. I don’t remember lol) and not upgrade ever, or at least not until you’ve finished your game and the update has been out for a while. It’s basically a guarantee that they’ll update a few more times to patch the marketplace, so don’t bother.

[@inkyGhosty]

I do have my Steam game set to only update when I launch, which I never do, only through the mod manager. But every time there's a new version, SKSE has to update, address libraries too. If for any reason you have to uninstall, it's very cumbersome to downgrade versions, etc. BUT the real problem is very old mods that don't get updated anymore. Old mods get split between old versions, and stuff like new physics mods that update to the latest version, or have newer requirements, etc. Every time there is a new number version, it makes it harder and harder to curate your own mod list basically.

[@Mr-tu4cj]

@@inkyGhosty yeah I feel that. That’s why I eventually updated to the previously latest version thinking there was no way Bethesda would update again now that creation club was done 🤦‍♂️. I did end up downgrading which was pretty easy for me, but now I’ll have to be more careful about which version I download when I start downloading mods again.

[@N7Dovahkiir]

Nice selection of mods and I particularly love the Photo Mode because I take action screenshots a lot. I think Photo Mode took its inspiration from Mass Effect Legendary Edition and Shadow of the Tomb Raider because these games also feature Photo Mode. Nice video 👍

[@Anska5126]

A lovely star lineup! Btw I've now watch enough of your content that KZbin is now giving me custom playlists exclusively of you. I'm not 100% sure what it's trying to tell me but honestly I call this a win Btw did anyone tell you how well that Witch outfit fits your character? I was not expecting something so un-Skyrim to fit Skyrim so well I wanna touch on that potion one. You raised a point there where you said the Potions should have individual unique looks. I 100% agree and in fact I even touched on it in my own series. Isn't it odd how almost every drink and potion are in the same bottle shape? Now if it is a drink in a tavern then that's fine. You're not in a rush, you are drinking socially and you have time to look at the bottle to see what you are drinking. But you can't say that for potions. Potions are to be used quickly, chosen fast in the heat of battle or in a crisis like drowning under the ocean from a shipwreck you got trapped in. Don't want to be grabbing a Fortify Archery Potion instead of Waterbreathing because your bottles are all the same and unlabeled In my series I did it this way: Potion enchanters and creators won't know how to craft glass bottles and stuff. As as someone who has worked with creating glass before I can say it's very hard and very very hot. It's two very different things to mix some herbs and forge glass into what you want so it makes sense both artisans won't know eachothers crafts. Which means glass forgers won't know to make different bottles and just mass produce one type. That's not really a problem for potion sellers who can neatly categorise their stock on labelled shelves and so on but the people buying and using them will suffer greatly. So when Anska buys his potions he attaches a different colour and textured ribbon to each bottle so he can see by colour and by feel what is in each bottle. Practical and fast and he's not going to drown by drinking an Archery potion under water. All that said, that glowing bottles in your mod showcase was a lovely touch I will be getting some of these mods. I only found your channel half way through the year so I'm behind on some of this. Thank you for making this video Bard. After getting these, I'm going to continue creating Hannah's cake for her. I've decided to try something new with a Melon flavoured cheesecake. never heard of that one before so this will be interesting

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Hey Anska! :D I love that you're getting such playlists hahaha. The witch outfit was surprisingly fitting, for sure!

It is so fun, and frustrating too with the puzzles hahaha, and the characters are so likable, I need to play it again too :D

[@welcometovalhalla2884]

Having been away from modding for most of the year, SkyClimb looks crazy. I had heard of it but I thought they had manually added the climbing locations (which would've still been pretty cool but surely a compatibility nightmare, especially for those of us who like city overhauls). That a procedural way to do it was developed so quickly is impressive. I also really like the "trend" if you could call it that of armor sets that are more based on the cultures of Tamriel. Some look kinda like ceremonial gear more than something to wear into battle, but so do all the super ornate medieval fantasy style armor mods we've had since forever. It's great to have more stuff that reflects the unique aspects of The Elder Scrolls. Have you checked out the NITHI NPC mods? I'm also kinda obsessed with NPC replacers. My last playthrough I basically downloaded every NPC replacer under the sun and manually picked each NPC using EasyNPC. The NITHI and BBs series from nightmarezone were my picks over 90% of the time I think (which is kinda painful considering how much time I spent scrolling through the EasyNPC UI hand picking every single NPC face...), even though I was sometimes picking between 10 or more mods. I feel she has made human and elf NPCs as unique, striking and interesting looking as allonsywisegirl does the beast races and orcs. Dibella's Blessing came out a little bit later and I didn't get to try it (I was still playing but I wasn't going to redo my NPC patch lol) and while it looks fantastic and I'm sure I would've picked some NPCs from it, I still think NITHI is my favorite by far.

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Ahh I need to config my NPCs with EasyNPC as well, I tried it one time but never went through with it :D and I'll definitely take a look at NITHI Npcs! (never too many replacers to choose from haha)

[@welcometovalhalla2884]

@@BardsCollegeGraduate EasyNPC definitely took some effort and trial and error to use (I think I got it right by the third time I used it, which was a lot of time spent lol) but it's so worth it. It's like DynDOLOD and No Grass in Objects to me. Kind of a pain to properly use, and a long effort riiight at the last stretch of making a modlist. But it gives the game an incredible touch when everyone is looking their best and it really ties things together.

how can anyone down vote this, let me guess, someone stole sweetrole lol. i just had to throw that line in there, but seriously though, some people act like your not a true fan if you change the game. says who, how long can someone possibly play the vanilla version constantly. i love Skyrim, but without mods the game is very dated. not only that, but the mods keeps adding new life to the game. you don't have to download any of these mods, but it's good that someone is showing all these mods. i played the vanilla version many times, but looking at the same graphics all the time gets old after awhile, especially when you get so used to everything up to date. the only thing about mods is, they can be pretty taxing on the CPU, but most of the graphics mods relies on the GPU. still this is the closest your gonna get to modern graphics, so your gonna need a modern card and a up to date CPU. lucky for me, i have a Ryzen 5 5600x paired with a rtx 3060ti. so i can run most of these just fine, though the 4K options are a little too demanding for my card, but the 1K options and the 2K options run just fine. i don't have all these mods, the NPC's, i never saw that one. not sure how i feel about how they look, but i would agree that some NPC's could certainly use an upgrade. though i might be bias, but i kinda prefer Lydia's standard look. i just think it suits her, same with Serana, i personally like her default looks. but i have a mod that allows her to be seen while wearing a hood. my character has that to.

quick question : what version of Skyrim are you nodding, AE or SE?

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Of course! It's the .353 version, AE.

[@PatKenoo7]

so you haven't upgraded to the latest?

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

No, and probably won't for a long time as I'm lazy hahaha

[@Forced2DoThis1]

@BardsCollegeGraduate WOW! Just "WOW!" Thank you for all your efforts and the shear amount of love you put into your presentations! Wonderful.

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Yipii I'm so glad to hear you liked it!! Thank you so much :)

[@smoothoperator7219]

I love the look of Fabled Forests, but the one i found has a different MA. The one you showed says by Kojillama but the one I found says BeanPvGaming or something. There were about 4 mods of that name by that MA. I'm wondering if I have the right one.

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Ohh that's weird 🤔 not sure what's up with that. I think Kojillama is the right one though for PC at least.

[@smoothoperator7219]

@@BardsCollegeGraduate Okay, thanks. Now I just have to find the space for it.

[@PatKenoo7]

May i add another question. Have you made your own modding guide, or did you use one already made, to help you start your modding?

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Of course! I haven't used any modding guides, just learned as I went. But I started modding nearly ten years ago so it's just one thing after another, adding on top of each other if that makes sense :D

What's the shield in 2:21? It looks so good...

[@creationcreatormike]

What resolution do you guys use for your modded skyrim? Only some mods are available at 2k or 4k resolution, so is 1080p best for consistency?

[@AngelsPath]

Since you are a graduate of the Bards College, maybe you should do some of your commentary in song 😉

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

hehe

[@EkleipsisTM]

Can we get a mco | adxp moveset video pelease? Even if the lists are paywalled is fine, I've been unable to find a proper showcase of kinda realistic not super slow animations

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Probably not from me sorry 😔 Not a huge animations girl here xD

[@fightingddog]

How do you make all of the textures so smooth and looking like its a newer game. can you do that in the "creations section"

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Hmm I think it's the ENB actually! :) So check that out!

[@Magic-or-Mana]

good video!

[@Magic-or-Mana]

really good!

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

thank you!! :D

[@ibtissemlarbi5635]

May I know how do you get to have this shaking camera effect in this type of shot 0:26 ?

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Of course! It's edited in Premiere, but a similar effect can be achieved with Camera Noise the mod.

[@ibtissemlarbi5635]

@@BardsCollegeGraduate thank you for the info😊

[@TheUnrealjester]

Did you have to downgrade back to the old version to still use all these mods? I know this week's updated has screwed a lot of things up

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

I'm on .353 still! Sucks that many people got their Skyrim messed up :/

[@dont_know_anymoreum797]

Do you know the best mods for PS4? I have the special edition version with anniversary
