Excellent video. Very helpful, and I’m loving the showcasing of different aspects of the game.

[@nosferatualucard492]

I like your Hud ui combination, me I personally fell in love with the Untarnished UI. I like your videos a lot, youre doing a fantastic job giving new ideas about mods for the personal loadorder

[@doug527]

It's nice of you to offer your documents as a free download. Thank you. I don't subscribe to mod channels because their content isn't specific enough for me to care about everything they cover, but you are just cool. I subscribe to you. You have a humble, sit down with a friend kind of channel. Good job, man.

[@hugedoughnut3629]

load order touch is actually incredible and helps alot to new modders like me. keep up the good work sir

[@_caesarsalad]

Thank you for sharing your mod list!!! As someone who always messed up the load order it helps a lot. 😅

[@idoldissr]

Thanks for the great detail of your presentation. I'm finding, that there are so many really good mods to learn about these days with so many other mod dependencies, that it has become wayyyyy too time consuming and confusing to deal with... and I actually attempted to dive into this subject matter last march/april but gave up in frustration. So, NOW, I'm willing to give it another "go" following your well-explained steps. Thanks... for sure!

[@northernwinds5962]

Thank you for this. I kinda had no idea where to start in terms of setting up my UI, and this was immensely helpful.

[@chunglungtsai5136]

Great as always! Looking forward to your next video

[@brelaksm7287]

Hello, keep posting incredible mods. I'm a fan

[@arthurwukovits4821]

You have no idea how much I respect you for uploading your own modlist in such an incredibly helpful way. I'm not even modding Skyrim at the moment since I don't have a working PC and purely watch your videos for entertainment and inspiration for when I can eventually play modded again and still I can't help but let you know how awesome you are for taking the time to do that. Absolutely loving all your videos man and it's crazy to see how insanely fast you progressed with the quality of your content in just one year!

[@midknightgeek6629]

Thank you very much! Was exactly what I was looking for! Going to begin the install process right now. 😎👍

[@D33JMax]

Another awesome selection man and always been curious about your mod list cause your Skyrim looks sweet bro. Started downloading a new mod compilation before I seen this, bloody typical :D, but definitely going to mix your picks in there. Cheers again SG.

[@CasualBuilder]

Really cool that you give the whole modlist for free amazing work

[@igavinwood]

So damn helpful and easy to follow. Great vid. You're steadily becoming a go to trusted source for modding Skyrim.

[@mohmoh_1998]

I've been away from modding for the entirety for 2023, and I must say you are absolutely correct! This channel has helped me catch up on the new gen mods that this community has done an amazing job updating and improving!

[@arthurwukovits4821]

​@@mohmoh_1998 It's insane to me how rather than slowly dying down, the mod scene has been absolutely revolutionized with more high quality and just crazy impressive mods than ever before.

[@mohmoh_1998]

@@arthurwukovits4821 I know right!! Its like everytime they revolutionize the scene with something new (like DAR, and nemesis then OAR), you'd think there is no possible way of coming up with even more ideas. This modding community rocks, and props tp these talented people making the game enjoyable for us after all these years🤩

Just what i needed, thanks bro

[@daelebbah]

i didn't skip a thing. This was so damn good to watch. I've always wished that skyrim's weapon selection was like gta v, and Wheeler does exactly that. Also quickloot will make the gameplay feel more realistic. I'm getting a gtx 1650 next week and first thing i'll do is start modding skyrim. I will save this video until then

All my mods came from your suggestions hehehe thanks

[@SkyrimExplorer]

Thanks for the video. Personally though i prefer vanilla ui + sky ui + ah hotkeys to mods presented here. Vanilla ui is clean and its sounds are more subtle.

[@Hoboken90]

holy flying fuk... i cant imagine the pc specs u have. Man this is the best skyrim mod pack ive ever seen. You truly know how to customize it by yourself, i can see u use unique assets and textures mixed instead of the most downloaded full packs. That forest choice is the best ive seen

[@stricklywicked1112]

Keep the Skyrim videos coming. I played starfeild for a few weeks and it’s a good game but it’s not Skyrim. And I can’t get the wheeler mod to work lol. Spent untold amount of hours trying.

[@nadavstretiner]

I must recommend Dear Diary as well

[@HeldIntegral]

Dear Diary Dark Mode (Warm) is my absolute favourite 😍

[@Cwronaga216]

I actually like to combine UI overhauls and use dear diary dark mode for menus and Nordic UI for the HUD.

[@_francoise_]

you should make a wabbajack auto-installer for your mod list! Your setup is extremely beautiful 🤩

[@nickbutler4223]

I am addicted to your video man! Thank you every time for an upload! May I ask, what armor mod are you using in your thumbnail?

Thanks, its called the Fleet Knight Set

​@SoftGamingOfficial Great vid as all ways! Now the ask: could you do a vid on your suggested controller set up and of any mods you suggest for controller support? Thanks!!

[@dhenbertalger5894]

I really liked your videos and modding in Skyrim, it really gives the Skyrim the upgraded version of it without going too far from its game core. Seems there is a problem with mine in regard to the Dot Crosshair that you got at 2:36 of the video. May I know how to configure like this one please?

[@hf7219]

"Flat Vanilla UI" is enough for me.

[@Kikyou_Ich]

thank!

[@sushipanda4716]

Every time I watch your videos, I get an itch to splurge on a PC build and play Skyrim there. Sadly, between lack of both space and time bc apartment/college, I might just get Alienware or something along those lines so I can get my hands on your LO!

New Sub! Thanks for opening up my curiosity on modding. It aeems that AE quickloot and the patch crashing the game. Removed both Quickloot AE and Patch. Working like a charm. 300 mods running in 2k. Any suggestions for lore based fighting overhalls

[@bpetrikovics]

Looks like the latest update on Steam just killed Compass Navigation Overhaul.. crashes during load.

Is there a collection for your mods on nexus or anything? It looks clean

[@HeldIntegral]

Might as well add A Matter of Time, Quick Loot EE, MiniMap SE, QUI and MoreHud to that list

[@germanfighter_6667]

thanks for the video. But i got a question. Im not be able to change the appearance of my health stamina and magica icons like its in the video. Could you please help me ?

[@Nucl34r_W1nt3r]

how do i make it so that crosshair doesnt appear when im not in combat and aiming and such, it would be more immersive if i can do that

[@MaximilianPs]

I like the Nordic UI but Honestly, to play as Beth. meant to play TES you even should have a marker on screen, many of this this stuff are for drinkmilker, try to play with Immersive Compass and disable about everything, and I also strongly suggest: Undiscovered Means Unknown No Current Location On Map (this is for Oldrim but it's just a texture so will work also on AE)

[@HeldIntegral]

Bethesda intended for you to play vanilla, and buy all their trash mods they sell too tho 😂

He thereThanks for the great video again!. I have a question about your modlist. there are over 500,600 mods in there. Are they all active or do you switch between these mods? I downloaded about 40 of them and some or not working properly and need cleaning with xedit. I wonder if you do all that. I am very new to this. I just want to have some mods active like you show in your videos for example. Do you also still recommend downgrading the game? I use the 6.6 version and maybe this is why some mods are not working anymore. I could some help. I use M02 and can show screenshots. I just want to play the game at this point. been working on this for 3 days now :(
