Skyrim Modding Making INCREDIBLE Progress In 2023! | Must Have Mods In Q3!

[@SynMods]

Hi guys, I think it's been like a full year and a half ever since I had less than a full week between 2 uploads. :D Feel good to be honest. In any case, if you have any questions for me, comment down below and I will be pretty much addressing all of them! Thank you so much for watching!

[@-Ormex]

what GPU would you recommend for the Cabbage Enb, forrest and grass overall for a FHD monitor ?

I still think it's funny how Fallout 4 mods make the protagonist silent while Skyrim mods make the protagonist voiced

[@SynMods]

Lmao, really? That's classic. I guess it's one of those "people want what they don't have" situations. :D

[@SunniestAutumn]

​@@SynModsNot as much as it is "Fallout 4 is an embarrassing failure of an RPG"-situation.

[@Babaroi]

@@SunniestAutumn I think people are way too hard on Fallout 4's rpg mechanics. You are a bit limited by the voice and backround of your character in vanilla, but you can still give your character a unique personality and influence the world around you to a large extend.

[@delicathvrenitah4282]

I just like the ones that change the standard dialogue like Khajiit speak and Dunmer speak

[@matthimfsmfs7194]

​@@SunniestAutumnYou make a good RPG then.

So much more than other showcases, your commentary is actually insightful and useful. One of the best in the business.

[@SynMods]

Glad you found the videos informative. Thanks for the kind words!

[@alaxouche2922]

My Syn, even if your videos are not as regular as they would, the quality and the uselfulness of the content is just still incredible, without talking about the quality of the editing. Keep on doing great work my friend!

Kyne's Weathers, Autumn Weathers and Rustic Weathers are really nice if you get stuck on Cathedral.

[@SynMods]

Thanks for the suggestions, I was only aware about Rustic, others I'd have to take a look at.

[@brazil7028]

I still think to this day that if it wasn't for the modding community none of the Elder Scrolls games would have been 1/1000th as popular. If you look back on the games in their original release condition they were ok but the modding community made them epic. Shout out to all those that have poured their time and effort to modding all the different ES games.

[@anferFFmax]

Well, I remember doing all nighters playing Morrowind back when it was released. There were no mods for that game for a while and it didn't matter. I was completely absorbed. The modding community would not exist if two things wouldn't hold true about the ES series; 1st. The games are amazing. Even Oblivion (my least favorite one) was extremely good for its time. 2nd. Beth's support for mods is amazing. These games seem to be made to be modded which is incredible. And while there were some seriously bad decisions made, like adding a horse armor mod to Oblivion and then charging money for it, we could say that the old Beth (now an extinct entity) was amazing.

[@ff38lg19]

[@TheSilverRayz]

Skyrim is a CPU intensive game. Which mean if you don't have a good CPU, the game won't run smooth even if you do have a nice GPU, since the CPU will bottleneck the FPS. So yeah , you definitely need a new CPU.

Cabbage ENB is by far the best preset to be out period. Nothing else comes close.

[@SynMods]

It's a pretty good preset indeed, for me personally, it ranks in top 5 of all the ones I've used in a few years at least.

[@fleppch4705]

Very nice choise of mods, I will add cabbage enb, Skoglendi, Ulvenwald and dense forests on my modlist, But the dynamic sprint animation is one we already agree on. But I have a question, it looks like it, but you do use Leviathan (High Stance) and Vanagrand correct?

[@MM-pl5ed]

so much happiness in knowing skyrim modding comunity is still very much alive & running!

[@SynMods]

True words, and hopefully about to get even more alive with Starfield's release.

[@naomy1701]

the voice pack for the main character gives me Nora (FO4 female protag) vibes tbh, not 100% sure if i realy like it, or dont like it at all 🤔😅🤣that side, having the protag talk certainly makes it more immersive either way ^^ thx for once again make a great mod showcase, much appreciated ✌

Wow! this amazing! I am way behind on mods. With all of the improvements i am inclined to make huge changes to my load order. It's big but game performs buttery smooth. I really need to dig deaper on nexusmods to see what's new. Anyway this is amazing. One thing that will expand modding immesurably is release of skyblivion in 2025 whch i hope will happen without delay and secondly skywind. With those two out we're looking at posibility of bringing the best of obivion and morrowind being brought to skyrim through modding which also presents another opportunity at least i hope though,just like eso feauters other regions having access to cyrodiil and morrowind 200 years later will be perfect as current events over there are somewhat intertwined with skyrims and would complement skyrim perfectly.

After watching your video I am thinking about returning to the world of Skyrim. Apart from the mods you presented in the video, I saw some other interesting things.

Turning Skyrim into Tomraider is interesting concept that does intrigue me!.....until I remember I was shit at Tomb Raider growing up. XD Oh gosh how many times did I have to learn if it wasn't Spyro or Ape Escape I was just bad at it? Though to my credit I made for that with Crash Bandicoot for a bit whom I think is still one of the most challenging platformers of all time with the simple innovation of just locking the camera into side view and screwing me over massively when it had no right to. XD

Your channel is my favorite modern bethesda games mod channel. Very clean, and sharp along with the mods in the description.

Just watched your video and honestly I skipped to end with the Npc talking. That's not a slit, my value is npc and combat over weather and terrain.

Good vid. But to bad you are not using this mod. Dragonborn Voice Over - Plugin Replacers. This fixes the weird reverb sound your player character is having.

[@SynMods]

I only found out about the plugins after the footage was recorded. But good call, I appreciate the suggestion :) My only concern for Bella VP is that includes patches for bunch of other mods, which I'm not sure it would be affected by the plugin. So you'd end up having some voice line with and some without the reverb.

[@geoffreyvanvugt6227]

@@SynMods From my understanding the Bella VP only has like any other voicepack mods, FUZ files. Dragonborn Voice Over - Plugin Replacers only tweaks Sound Output models and makes sure that a Bashed Patch (when used) carries those over. I know cause i am author of that mod. The my mod linked description from DBVO "Those files contain some patches to make the output audio of the player sound different, suggested for users using speakers" is a bit wrong. It is not pointed to peeps who only uses speakers. It is also to be used with headphones. Stereo or Surround.

[@SynMods]

@@geoffreyvanvugt6227 Yeah, just wanted to briefly come back to this. Thanks once again for this suggestion, I've been doing some testing, and it seems that this plugin does indeed remove the reverb for dialogues not included in the base game (Interesting NPCs, Follower Framework dialogue etc.) In my mind, these required patching but I guess that just displayed my ignorance with how the plugin works.

[@geoffreyvanvugt6227]

@@SynMods Thnak you for trying it out. The mod is essentially a fix to have the audio better. Also fixes the Bashed Patch issue. And esl flagged.
