Survivalism Mods for Skyrim

[@James--Parker]

Pffffff, true Nords have their stamina regenerate faster in blizzards.

[@James--Parker]

"gimme some cool mods you tried" That's kind of broad, here are a few mods I have enjoyed. www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/31325/? www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/8429/? www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/36849/?

[@Jurra-x]

James Parker ROFL that is not correct

[@pepethefrog50]

lol

[@boloisdaman]

Still waiting for a Wim Hof mod. Walk around naked in the snow? Never get sick.

[@NoxForest]

I hear you brother Nord

[@willowisp5765]

if you made mod videos when skyrim mods were in their prime, you would've blown up.

[@travisaradi5986]

Goulgan I dunno about millions, but she'd definitely get a lot more attention regardless.

[@crumbs7826]

It's actually better now, because she trims down the essential mods from the plethora of other mods currently available.

[@charlesnchrg3]

She was doing EMB tutorials long before this.

[@ashes180-x7d]

These honestly are the best mod lists I've seen. They're exactly what I am looking for to add to Skyrim.

[@Koubitz]

Support my video making endeavors on Patreon: www.patreon.com/koubitz Thank you all for your continued support! You're dolls, all of y'all.

[@77Arcturus]

No! Am not a DOLL!!! Am a human being! A HUMAN BEING!!! AGGGGGH!!! Thanks Koubitz for the awesome survival videos on Fallout 4 and Skyrim :D

[@lukezolan5583]

Koubitz If I'm a doll, will i be G I Joe?

[@kalogias]

We love you, you crazy woman.

[@shooterrick1]

Luddmeister Stop. Just stop.

[@chogan2376]

Koubitz Nah fam, I'm pretty sure I'm a guy

[@starhwas]

I've never played with mods until Skyrim SE and it's so refreshing! I started a new save with a mage starting at winterhold college and for the first time, I am genuinely struggling to get to whiterun without dying of exposure along the way. It's great. I can't imagine a skyrim without frost fall/campfire/etc.

[@mroogieboogie1162]

I can't believe I never even thought of Survival mods for Skyrim, I downloaded quite a few from the Fallout video you made because I was seeking a more difficult Wasteland (now I can barely play the game x'D). Thanks for another great video.

[@yeenosaur2620]

Finally! No one had made a video on this mod type. Thanks Koubitz!

[@nilsd4899]

I agryee

[@lelouchvibritannia9542]

Most Wanted Feature: The taverns mod adds some people to Solitude and Windhelm taverns that sing Malakah's covers.

[@markmitin7397]

I know I'm 2 Years late but here: - Become Bard + (Custom Song Book) allows player to play instruments and custom songs - Populated Inns and Taverns adds more people in taverns - More Idles for Taverns adds more animations instead of making people taking up large chunk of space and stand there and do nothing. - As a bonus Immersive Citizens allows NPC in towns go to the Taverns as well as altering their behavior and have their own schedule and routine.

[@aquarius5264]

or if they sung drinking songs like the rattlin' bog or whiskey in the jar but just change the lyrics around a bit to match skyrim? idk, just an idea. i feel like that'd fit pretty well tbh.

[@nikolajovchevmusic2971]

One mod I like to add for the survival experience and it goes really good with frostfall is "Simply Knock". This allows you on freezing weather and storms, to knock on a random door, and depends from the Npc who live there they can let you enter in. Most of the houses has a fireplace and a cooking stove, so you heat back make some food and hit the road again 😄

[@AniGaAG]

I think many of the mods you mentioned are further improved by using a mod to reduce the amount of gold you find and are rewarded with (it's too easy to get really rich in vanilla Skyrim), in addition to that one mod for jobs around Skyrim (so a reliable way to earn some gold in exchange for work).

[@warman]

Absolutely loved this list. Guess Ill give art of the catch another try. :D

[@syn_flood]

I love the amount of work and quality of your videos. Keep up the good work! Definitely sticking around.

[@davidrodgers6141]

I love your videos. Amazing quality and research.

[@haslamabad_]

David Rodgers i agree so much

[@hannahd7207]

By far you are my favorite Skyrim mod channel. Keep up the good work :)

[@Nom_Alex]

i really like your mod compilation videos

[@deterrentdog7732]

almost forgot to watch this but I'm glad I did because its a another great video by you

[@grovelifemc]

Why do you not have a KZbin award already :( You deserve way more subs :(

[@YordleQueen]

I’d like to add that the complete alchemy and cooking overhaul mod is another great mod to add to a survival playthrough (or any playstyle, in my opinion). One of its many features is that it makes it so when you’re low health, you can’t just eat 50 potatoes. Well, you can, but it changes the effect from “restores 1 point of health” to “restores 2% of health over 5 seconds” (or something along those lines). It makes a similar system for potions as well. They basically won’t stack a ton of the same potion over one sitting, you sort of can, but it takes a second to watch your health bar go up, like it’s not instant. Sorry I’m bad at explaining stuff lol, just thought I’d throw that in! :)

[@pagananikey]

I love skyrim, but I'm so tired of being the Mary sue dragonborn who is the best at everything and head of all guilds, etc... Now I just do alternate start and role-play as a nomad bard and magician who came to skyrim to study magic, enjoying the survival aspect with Campfire and Vitality mods. These mods should help further my role-play and overhaul the type of game skyrim is from a power fantasy to a survival game, so thank you.

[@runebeo]

Amazing Follower Tweaks has a fantastic make camp option, great for survival play-thru and so many other features

[@johnsanford346]

I believe this is the most comprehensive, professional, and appealing video you have ever made. Great job, and keep 'em coming.

[@RudyTN]

Whoa! Not just the mods and your voice, but my god all so crystal clear while getting right to the point!

[@MasterOFSuperFunny]

Thanks for the upload. It was great, as it always is.

[@SkyLordPanglot]

Im using almost all of these. I refrained from using Hunterborn however, because there is only smithing, but not proper leatherworking tree. Im OK with light armors being crafter through smithing, however I dont wanna spend time skinning things, when their loot is not really usable. Im using a mod for for better prices of hunting loot however. For example a deer hide will have a base value of 40 (modified by speech and what not of course). This makes the hunting much more valuable, which means that you can spend time hunting for some money if not the best amount.

[@thetactician8518]

Sky Lord Panglot what’s the name of this mod that increases the value of skins and pelts

[@kaitindall3272]

Wow, this channel is amazing. How haven't I found this before?!

[@theindiediary5950]

I've binged on your vids all night lol. Nothing but quality. Virtual high five!

[@laufert7100]

An excellent "more light sources mod" is Spell Emit Light. it makes so that spells, enchanted weapons, atronachs and that sort of stuff emit light (even when not used). Perfect for any mage

[@liamsweezey5774]

My favorite part about your videos is that I can just tell when your talking about a certain mod just by scrolling on the timeline and seeing the names of each mod

[@CORV1990]

i just have something really important to say... we`ve been blessed by the bunny lord!!!

[@smokeclouds8]

The last two upcoming mods sound amazing.

[@T3DNR3D]

I think most of these mods will be known by hardcore modders, but it's good to have a resource for newer people such as those on Xbox for this kinda stuff. Awesome work as always, Koubitz.

[@silverwave2238]

it's surprising to me that no modder has done a full year season mod,u get weather mods but not seasons ,l think the game starts in august so it should be the last trappings of summer than as u play more and get into November and December the season changes to winter and the whole of skyrim will be covered in snow.l know there's seperate mods for a full winter feel but if a modder could do a complete season overhaul it would great to see the land gradually go from snow to spring.

[@joelnogueira7692]

It might not have been available at the time of your comment but I urge you to check Frostfall - Seasons. It's a plugin for the Frostfall mod. It doesn't change the look of Skyrim though. What it does is change the weather occurrences and temperature accordingly for each month.

[@LazlowRave]

Seen this vid on Nexus, had to come here (youtube) to like video. You mentioned a couple mods I didn't have. Thanks!

[@dillonhowells8007]

Great mods list Koubitz!... I love survival mods.

[@SW-hd4xq]

Your videos are always to the point. Excellent quality, interesting... Can't believe I didn't know about your channel for so long. Thanks for the time and effort you put into this.

[@tazmenroach5516]

I just discovered your channel about a week ago and i've been binge watching your videos since. Still haven't been able to see you stream yet though so i'm hoping to tune in next time you do. I just wanna say that this is my new favourite skyrim channel and you definitely deserve more subs.

[@zanderbotha7979]

This was my first time modding but i installed all the mods together and it works great! (sorry for my spelling)

[@totalkhonest8997]

Koubitz, first off: I really enjoy watching your mod showcases - great quality of content =) But I've one questions: First one is what the main differnce between "Realistic Needs and Diseases" and "iNeed" is and which one you prefer and why. I'd also like to reccomend "Realistic Room Rental" as an alternative option for "Perseids Inns" if someone wants to alter the prices for renting a room, but has a mod conflict with it

[@gpu213]

aaaand subbed. not sure how I never heard of this channel until now, fantastic quality.

[@manueloros5512]

this is just what i needed to bring much needed life to skyrim, thank you

[@stevensahadeo8238]

Really great job, you are very articulate and concise. I'm patting myself on the back for having some of these mods already lol

[@thegunfight3r415]

Well you hooked me, now I got all of this mods and my Skyrim is no longer easy game... :) I am even little bit afraid to play it. It is very different world! Thank you and please keep making videos!

[@sirspongadoodle]

im loving skyrim now that i started modding it.. i love to micromanage little details.. survival makes it even better.

[@RamblinRick_]

This is the first video I've seen from Koubitz. I normally look to Brodual for in-depth reviews of Skyrim mods to answer the question, "should I download this mod?" Your video is a Brodual-quality review. I'll be watching your other reviews as well.

[@DovahGirL]

Just perfect! I love a challenge.Guess I’ll be downloading these now on SE. You’re awesome,thank you for showcasing these really immersive mods.👍❤️😛😍😀

[@jennam1133]

I got all 3 first mods and I haven't played with them all yet, but I will be playing in a few days!!! Thanks for the info!!!

[@zacakafroztee]

Great video, thanks! Love the channel. I wanted to point out for people, inside the iNeed mod menu, there is an option to change the timescale. No need to mess with the console.

[@JasonCarbon117]

Is that Witcher 3 music? 10/10

[@MarrowMelly]

i was looking in the comment to find out if i was the only one. isn't that the music when you go into taverns or something. 7:09

[@joycepike9446]

Definitely a fan of this channel!

[@palmquigley6445]

To anyone using campfire I would recommend using eremite along with it, it overhauls campfires perk system and makes it a lot funner to use and progress. It also adds features for a restoration/unarmed monk style playthrough witch is really fun I got a 20 ish hour playthrough with it and it was great.

[@TenebriGaming]

Wonderful video! There were a couple immersive MOD's I was missing, but no more! :D Thank you so much!

[@cabinstorytime]

Hearing the witcher 3 music in the back made me so nostalgic

[@DastFight08]

And it's a Koubitz! Oh my gosh, we've been blessed, we've been bleeeesed!

[@jtktomb8598]

Exactly what i needed, thanks !

[@_greenrunner_]

And now i started a new playthrough, thank you :D

[@dezerstorung3276]

Thanks Koubitz I really want to do a survival play through and now I know many mods.

[@Incariuz]

Nice to see iNeed on the list, I prefer it over other mods of similar style.

[@james583mk]

You are great! I have no idea how I haven't found you until now

[@kilroy6429]

Thank you! You share my love of these mods, and many of them I️ already had. You just earned a sub.

[@CheetoBro111]

Your KZbin channel is a hidden jewel, just wow.

[@phantomairsoft1]

All these mods combined would make Skyrim immersively hard

[@hitthegoat]

The timescale tweak was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to play frostfall/campfire/iNeed but was unsure if I'd like it seeing as how fast a game day goes by. I felt like I'd spent almost all my time gathering wood and camping. This makes it much more exciting to try

[@loptseldr]

once I finished my vanilla playthrough (i have a list of things planned for this character I am playing right now) I will have to add these and have fun with them.

[@Matt_10203]

How do you only have 30k subs with this content?! You should have 300,000subs.

[@keetongu9511]

Koubitz please, read a phonebook for me. You have one of the best voices on youtube.

[@FreakishWizardthegamingwizard]

pretty much exactly what i was looking for liked and subbed

[@notamanstudios4408]

ive always been way into survival stories like my side of the mountain so i love playing a totally survival/crafting based character

[@anitayk]

Three jealous people gave TD. Another great video, Koubitz!

[@lucaturville6107]

Great quality video, very clear and easy to follow review. I wish the best of luck for this channel. Instant sub.

[@ty88]

Awesome video, seriously. Should include a mod that prevents fast travel!

[@thegrayowl1557]

It'd be great if, you know, MOST OF THESE MODS WERE AVAILABLE FOR SPECIAL EDITION! Great video tho!

[@LGDx]

The Gray Owl special edition exists so that “next gen” console users can enjoy mods if you’re on pc there’s no valid reason as to play se besides the faster load/save times and the ability to alt-tab out of the game (that is my opinion)

[@viggoekstrom]

Great video! Keep up the amazing work Koubitz :)

[@yazye4637]

thanks makes this game so much fun when it comes to surviving

[@MrChamesy]

Great video!!! this is exactly what I wanted to have added to Skyrim thank you!

[@Arkayjiya]

Nice video, it made me reinstall Oldrim (it's pretty awesome to be able to have two executable running with a different install and data folder). I'm going to try to combine some of those mods with others to create a pure bosmer huntress character (for the first time I'll install an alternative start mod, this one cannot be the dragonborn). I particularly enjoy the inclusion of Real Shelter, Scarcity and Perseid's Inns and Taverns as those are lesser know mods that perfectly complement the ones at the core of this concept (camping/frostfall/SkyTest/INeed/Hunterborn). Now I just need to find a delevelled lists, combat and, if that exist quest mod that's thematically appropriate and I'm ready!

[@Andreaszigzag]

Im gonna try playing skyrim with survivalism in mind thanks for the vid!

[@chromozoned1784]

Some of these just crashed my game, but most were plenty useful! Keep it up

[@HareDeLune]

Would have been nice if you had mentioned that the rain occlusion effect of Real Shelter is incorporated into the vanilla version of SSE (Bethesda finally fixed it, after all these years! They should have fixed it for Oblivion too.). Great video regardless. :)

[@wallakfir90]

Thank you for the video. I think I'll reinstall Skyrim again, it's been a long time since I played it!

[@orangejuice1813]

3 years later this list still holds up

[@MehrdadParthian]

thank you, this video was great, i added 3 different new mods to my mod list !

[@DrewBarnett144]

love the witcher 3 soundtrack! :) great video

[@RonohTheFirst]

if you don't have PC but still want to change the time scale, cheat room is the mod to download, it provides spells that do the same as PC commands, including the set time scale. spell to use is cheat game options

[@John_NJDM]

You are the best youtuber ive found for explaining what mods do. I only wish you did xbox mods, or that most of the mods you review were available for console.

[@justus4justice]

One thing to note, if you plan to use Last Seed when it's released, you may want to go ahead and install kryptopyr's Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul from the Nexus, as Chesko has stated that it's going to be a requirement for Last Seed.

[@KukieVideos]

You seriously sound like a true profesional (you're realy well spoken)

[@thetactician8518]

Just wanted to mention that console doesn’t have the time tweak mod yet but another mod gives you that ability and much more, that mod is called cheat room

[@Walht]

I think ill use these mods in my next playthrough and ill be a khajit merchant and permadeath

[@qazwacook1983]

nice I'm definitely gonna try these mods! the thing is I always thought it was stupid that there's food etc but there is no use for them so these are good mods Thank you so much subcribed

[@Grom76300]

Very well reviewed. Agreed on every choices except Hunterborn : I think is not compatible enough with other mods, often needs a patch or it will mess with perk mods (Perkus max or Ordinator) ELFX : I use Relighting Skyrim and No Interior Fog v2 for compatibility issues with the rest of my mods. Same no go for Lightning Overhaul. Perseids Inns and Taverns : oh, inns exist, I forgot. I will try the basic version for the prices because the full version needs patches.

[@Mr._Anderpson]

Great job, these are some of my favorite mods, but I didn't know I could slow the passage of time. That will really help with Hunterborn, as skinning & butchering several carcasses can take a while. Most often, I have to set up a camp & alternate between gathering fuel & tending to my kills. Question, do any of the mods address the value of meats garnered by the player? I find it annoying that Anoriath will sell me venison for 45 gold, but I can only sell venison, bear, or saber cat for a coin or two per unit. People should also take note of the unique recipes enabled by Hunterborn. Mead braised bear, fox apple stew, & mashed troll are great for hunters looking for immersion. You can also enable "corporeal dragons" to gather meat from dragons, which in turn allows recipes such as Wyrm & Chips or High King's Stew.

[@quietwaffle5735]

This was great! Keep making more!

[@tiffanycaplinger7808]

with wearable lanterns i would reccomend npcs in the dark it allows them to wear lanterns and it makes combat in the dark more realistic

[@brunobotelho4502]

Wow, this video was awesome. Subscribed, loved your voice also. Cheers.

[@viffaria]

Just wanted to note that Chesko oficially stoped the development of hunger in the north and last seed

[@aspektx]

And for those who want to try these mods in easy mode you can always use cmd line to grant yourself certain items or you can add a mod with overpowered items or abilities.

[@AAllen-br8it]

If i ever get Skyrim again im downloading a lot of these mods you cover before playing to shock my soft and privileged gamer system with an uber immersive and challenging kick to the dick experience.

[@memento-9971]

Love the video as always Koubitz just a question will you do a house mods video I have downloaded many a house mod over the years and very few have stuck with me I'd love to know you're favorites!

[@Koubitz]

Thank you! :) Totally! Definitely been planning to do one at some point.

[@barkley8285]

Campfire + frostfall + ineed + hunterborn + wet/cold + cloaks of skyrim + sleeping bags + fishing = realistic skyrim

[@Swamp_Thing_4487]

Can't this be done without survival mode?
