Mods That Make Skyrim More Populated

[@janetlapham3919]

I recently encountered an immersive patrols battle. I was using touring carriages, The driver, Bjorlam, ran over about half the soldiers.

[@AskiFin]

Note on the video: Warzones is massively incompatible with many of the mods Immersive patrols is incompatible with some mods, but there is usually a patch for it OBIS is similar as immersive patrols, however only mods that affect bandits They do work together.. but if you want something else than just population, avoid Warzones.. Others are fine

[@VideoFanatic13]

Aski [Fin] I use all of these mods together without any issues. However I would also advise against not installing war zones. Gets annoying after uve finished the Civil War questline

[@sovietwombat8194]

Aski [Fin] Well i use it without problems but before it just kept crashing whenever i enter a battle or some random ctd happens whenever i fast travel to ot

[@swapnilgopalka]

Warzones should only be used if one is using vanilla skyrim and not many graphic or script mods. Its heavy and it can really crash the game. I used only in SE and got crashed once or twice. Although it might look cool in the beginning but with all the crashes, freeze, fps hit and making exploration a pain in low levels, for me it ain't that worth it

The people of skyrim It's pretty much expanded towns and cities for the entire skyrim world with lots of voiced npc's. Immersive citizens ai overhaul? Doesn't actually add npcs but it tweaks the ai to make the different types of npc act unique. For example civilians often flee while mercenaries will fight to the death

[@NachoCheese]

Really enjoy Immersive Patrols. Ran into a big group of thalmor and stormcloaks fighting. So my group of 8 followers joined in on it. Super fun.

[@bloodangel7731]

[@admiralspire8867]

Im_terroristnachos What would be badass is to run into a multiple sided battle.

Yeah, Koubitz here know when to be calm and firm and when to be frantic. I find her voice quite soothing, in fact, I don't even play Skyrim anymore, I just want to hear her voice. She is kinda funny too in her streams and the amount of cussing surprised me at first (as if they are two different people).

[@AntsanParcher]

I found OBIS to be very immersion-breaking. At first the bandit groups wandering about are really great, but after a while their theming gets a little bit suspicious and as soon as I found the book I realized the mod author had a very different idea about what lore-friendly is than me. That's fine, of course. The thing is just… The motivations and internal structures described in the book didn't make very much sense to me. Basically OBIS dehumanizes the bandits and turns them into little more than vaguely intelligent monsters.

[@stefanolozardo9711]

I just dowloaded so i could have more action packed encounters playing with ultimate combat.

[@yourfriendlyneighbourhoodl6206]

[@yourfriendlyneighbourhoodl6206]

@@stefanolozardo9711 How is ultimate combat?

[@AntsanParcher]

@@yourfriendlyneighbourhoodl6206 I've last played this about 4 years ago, but I remember that one book about all the different bandit groups and they were all like "They tear out their own teeth and then sew them on their lips so they look scarier also they're all psychopaths and that's why they kill random people and each other. Don't think too much about how they get to eat each day or replace the daily dozen dead in their ranks, because they're just *so badass*." I mean, what I just wrote is, of course, hyperbole, but… it's been 4 years and that's roughly the impression I got. The bandit's motivations are incomprehensible and their economics of everyday living even less so.

[@esotericjahanism5251]

When I first tried OBIS I was looking for mods that would give me more enemies to fight but the problem with OBIS I had was that the bandits it added to the game were considered a different faction from the vanilla bandits already in places so everything I came upon a location like a fort or such, I would arrive to a fackin blood bath of vanilla bandits and a couple of the surviving OBIS bandits. Like I get the mod was supposed to introduce the idea of different bandit gangs but I think the added bandits should have at least been non-hostile to the vanilla bandits in their immediate spawn location.

Valgus from 3dNPCs makes for a pretty great healer/battlemage companion. Notice Board is another good choice for adding additional NPCs/life to the game. Most of the mods you mentioned can be made to work pretty well together with a tes merged patch and a bashed patch (assuming the user has a machine that can handle it).

Warzones and the expansion are great, specially the catapults battles and new bases to loot, plus the armor's and weapons it adds. It's a keeper, and if you crash so much, just disable the battle were the crash took place, you can select or deselect each battle zone.

Another great video. I really didn't get into Skyrim when it first came out. I noticed immediately that a lot of the elements thta made Morrowind, and even Oblivion, so good were missing. I was remodding Morrowind and noted that Skyrim Special Edition was 64 bit, and thought it might be cool to try it on my ultra high end computer (MSI Godlike Carbon MB, i7-6900K 8 core CPU standard at 3,2 GHZ, set to gaming through the motherboard at 4.3 GHz. 128 GB of Ram. Liquid coopling system and two GTX1080 video cards (8 GB VRAM each) in SLI. Still trying to get my load order to work, but I will be running several of the mods you recommended not running together because they might cause a lag. Will post on here when I have it working right. If it lags on what I got, it will probably do so on 99% of the systems out there. Again, thanks for your video. I learned about Interesting and Inconsequnetial NPCs, mods I am sure will add to the game.

[@dbg5744]

you forgot about "immersive wenches" adds, well, wenches to taverns and the like, I also use "Dawngaurd Sentries" which adds soldiers from Dawngaurd to towns and cities to defend against vampire attacks etc. I use all the mods in the video and the one i suggested. Skyrim is so full of life and i love it. I also use ASIS for spell distribution, increased spawns and perk distribution to npcs. Though i will say once you download ASIS, grab the improved ASIS ini files and add all the npcs that add npcs to the increased spawn exclusion list otherwise you will be in hell if you increase the spawns. I would also get theimmersive citizens ai overhaul mod which totally overhauls the AI of said npcs giving them schedules and also deals with how they react to things - breaths extra life into the game. Though, if using extra npc mods i would also suggest when making a bashed patch to go to the tweak settings and change the "AI: Max active actors" to "100" and to change "combat: Max actors" to "120". Whilst the immersive citizens ups the max it only goes up to 80 iirc and to have all these mods plus vampire attacks etc you will sometimes bump into friendly and enemy npcs who just stand there frozen and won't react until you attack them. Upping the two values i mentioned 99% of the time fixes that. But yeah, great informative video, keep it up.
