Hey Capt. Panda, Thanks for showcasing my mod 🙂

[@CaptPanda]

No problem at all! :D

[@tlehman0001]

I'm new to modding skyrim, and just need a little advise. I have many of the mods on this list and growing. I'm getting flickering when the camera moves on thin textures like the straw roofs and ground textures. It's almost like the LUTS filter or enb is switching on and off depending on camera movement, but what do I know? I've got a lot of the stability patches on this list as well. Without listing my 60+ mods, is there anyone that knows what's going on?

[@snozz2004]

@@tlehman0001 Could be a few things, is it flicking to black or the texture disappearing/see though?

[@tlehman0001]

@snozz2004 it's almost like it's just flickering to a different filter. It almost like it switches to the original color palate when camera is still. Not everything, just the little areas in between thin textures. I was thinking maybe a parallax issue, or my enb...i have complex parallax materials, auto parallax, tomatoes parallax aio, and all required for those...I'm gonna try assorted mesh parallax fixes and see what that does.

[@snozz2004]

@@tlehman0001 Try disabling the enb in game, if it still happens it might be an issue with a replacement mesh. I had a mesh bug out & would turn invisible when the camera was rotated

[@RedBagMods]

Thanks for featuring my stave churches!

[@CaptPanda]

Sure thing Redbag! :)

[@Ygg235]

13:36 My man was modding for so long he forgot the look of vanilla thickets and dead shrubs. The ones in comparisons are DJJacopo's from the Cathedral 3D series 😭

Thanks bro! I appreciate it

[@TheCorpsehatch]

Edge UI looks incredible. It's on my list of mods to install when I build a new load order for an upcoming playthrough. Nice set of animation mods. All these mods look amazing.

[@sagarnegi9464]

Nice video, I likes the Stave Church, preety good addition

[@CaptPanda]

True! :) and thank you !!

[@atella394]

Thanks for mentioning that you use eldergleam as a base modlist, I've been looking for something visually-focused to use with requiem and some of my other favourite mods. Nolvus is great there's only room for a handful of additional mods.

[@CaptPanda]

No problem at all! :)

[@zinghunt4364]

just a little FYI : Dr Jacopo alreadu had done a Cathedral replacer for thickets. But Skyking's version is a great option too !

[@CaptPanda]

👀👀 if I am not mistaken.. I have almost all of DrJacopo’s mods.. I might have missed it. Thanks!

[@maidenfan724]

@@CaptPanda Just wanted to add that the models you showed in the comparison as vanilla in the before/after were actually DrJ’s and not vanilla 😅 Seems like you had them installed already. I know they are included in Eldergleam. Vanilla is even more 2D than what you showed lol

I don’t know how much more my steam deck can take

[@CaptPanda]

😂😂 you know what they say… if it’s working.. it ain’t broken!

[@666sentrax]

Btw Panda, you should have highlighted the Mod "Stave Churches Integration Project" by ArcanumWarlock too, because it's a really cool addon to it with more immersion (and more optional locations!)

[@CaptPanda]

Dang.. just saw it. :/ thanks for letting me know tho!

[@Drocinit247]

Just wanted to stop in and say I am still enjoying the plug and play of Eldergleam. I live that I can leave Skyrim on the shelf for a week or more and just laps up to a lively game that brings back old memories. Thank you

[@CaptPanda]

Wow.. it's an honor! :) I 100% know how that feels so I am glad I was able to help a ton to get back that nostalgic feeling

[@GoofballRhamGG]

Which mod does the shield on your back come from? It’s right in front of the camera while showing the stave church mod.

[@TerryHughes64]

IED is the mod and i think legendary shields for the black/gold shield

[@nathanboutwell1701]

Skyfall's Blue Palace Courtyard is one of those that once you install, you can't play without. That ittybitty offset door has bugged me since I first played four years ago! Not anymore.

[@CaptPanda]

Exactly!!! Imagine the "main" door being in the weirdest spot to enter the palace T.T

[@CheezusFlights]

I kinda hate that you have to install 60 mods for one mod to work

[@danielscorner1]

Hey Capt. Panda, I had a question for you. I know you have your ultimate EG edition coming up and I wanted to know, are the new mods that you showcase in your KZbin videos going to be added to your modlist? I know you said as much for the UI in this video but I’m curious about the rest of the mods in this video and other recent ones.

[@CaptPanda]

Most mods I showcase will be included 😁

[@danielscorner1]

@ That’s wonderful to hear! I’ve already downloaded a handful of these to add on after the fact so you’re saving me a step 😄

[@istealthlgaming1859]

I’ve had great looking thickets and dead shrubs for a long time. Pro tip use BOS to change them into other shrubs that you like, personally I use a mix of blubbo’s shrubs from the Blubbo’s whiterun mod and they’re dispersed all across Skyrim. I didn’t like any of the actual shrub mods

[@pctechmax2509]

Bro when can we expect teaser or development video of eldergleam ultimate ?? Excited to test your complete list ☺️

[@CaptPanda]

Hopefully this month 😁 no promises tho

[@GtomWB]

I'm honestly amazed with your eldergleam modlist. I don't know if there's a way to improve what is already perfect, but i hope you planning to make it even better. As i can see in the video mod community don't stop on one place and keeps amaze with those mods, which sparks the hope that's there is a room for new improvements. Hope in one day to see eldergleam v3 ;) Thank you!

[@Brubarov]

Nice! The shrub mod finally! Still waiting for a good grounded heavy horsestep sound...

[@CaptPanda]

I think I saw one back then

[@Brubarov]

@@CaptPanda The only ones who tried are "Improved Horsestep sounds" and "Equus" but they are very old and not very god tbh... it's better than vanilla, but horses sound like small goats. Nothing as close as Bannerlord or RDR2 real heavy sounds

I some how end up wathcing your vids somwhow. I don't even know how. Subconsciously, my brain is pulled to it. As a Skyrim VR player, most of these are only things that will run on a "6090" than my petty 4090.

Have you tried switching ENB? see if the problem occurs.. if not then there's something wrong with the ENB preset you chose

[@tlehman0001]

@CaptPanda this may be a dumb question but I've really only used vortex, other than manually placing the silent horizons 2 enb. Can you run 2 enb's and just have more selections in the settings? If not, Do I just manually place a different enb like I did SH2 and it'll overwrite all of SH2? Or do I need to manually remove sh2 before I do anything? Sorry if that's a dumb question. I'm learning
