The BEST Skyrim Mods Going Into Year 2024 So Far | 25 Mods In 12 Minutes!

[@SynMods]

Hi guys! We're back with Skyrim modding coverage and this time, we overview the best Skyrim mods released in 2024 or mods that I discovered this year! Enjoy! Q: "What armor are you using at -insert timestamp here-?" A: Feel free to leave a comment, I do read all of them, and I will make sure to respond as soon as I can. Q: "Mod List?" A: There are 2 visual overhauls on my Discord that you can access, with a guide holding your hand from start to finish. It's what my own work in progress mod list is based on. The mod list used in this video is currently private and will be released some time in the future, once I feel like it's a complete product. Q: "Can you cover console mods?" A: Sorry, but most likely not. Technical capability for consoles is very limited, and my main focus is on PC. Q: "Will you ever cover Fallout 4 Mods?" A: Next video :) Q: "Where is the Dawnguard video?" A: Don't even get me started. This video has had many setbacks, and just when I thought everything was done and could finally release it, a bunch of my footage got corrupted during one of the import processes. Luckily, the process of recovery was mostly successful, but my entire project is screwed up. And that requires more time to sort out, so at this point, I'll stop promising release dates, and just say that it will be released when it's ready. Q: "Why do you have so many female characters in your videos?" A: I like women. If you have any questions for me, please ask down below. Once again, I read most of the comments, and would be glad to answer your questions.

Hey Syn, I like the rapid fire mod showcase format. Watched the whole thing. Only thing I'd like to add would be chapters for each of the mods to make it easier to go back to each one of them. Also what animation mod was that in 7:28 that made her waddle in shallow water. That's got some AC 4 Blackflag vibes and I'm all for it.

[@cameronlong9823]

What's the name of the hair mod you're using for your character at the start of the vid and how do you get it to flow like that

[@Valkirja1]

Since you asked for feedback, I personally enjoy showcases based on the content itself, not how fast or slow it is. If a mod is a simple 3D object, it is pointless to talk about it for 2 minutes. It's all about striking that perfect balance, which your showcases almost always do! Great video as always, Syn, and like I said in the last one, consider covering mods for other games!

[@leftylou4693]

If he does that then he wouldn't have time to do the showcases the way he does, let's not forget he does have a life outside of this you know, let the man enjoy it. If and when he moves on from Skyrim then no problem but right now he is invested in Skyrim not just the showcases so let's let him work his way, why fix it, if it isn't broken?

[@RedBagMods]

Thanks for showcasing my Falkreath!

[@SynMods]

My pleasure!

[@JoshuaHerbster]

Just want to say that even though I know it's a lot of work, seeing a whole skyrim both big and small towns in your style would be amazing.

[@RedBagMods]

[@noobnacho]

I like this rapid fire mod showcase. I think it works best for this kind of general list showcase, though it might not be as good with videos that have specific themes (e.g. combat mods only, or ENB mods only) because you might have to go into more detail to be able to differentiate them from the other mods in each video

[@SynMods]

Makes sense, I appreciate your feedback :)

[@shadowfox3282]

you cinematic like presentation really do the justice for these amazing mods.. simply legendary

[@SynMods]

Cheers!

[@capoeragames2081]

Would love to see you do a showcase of your best female armor/clothes, they look amazing!

[@elboingo]

Solid video. I prefer in-depth, longer videos so I can get a deeper sense as to whether I want to try the mods, but this rapid fire approach does a good job of being just information dense enough without being overly complicated or too simple. It's a good balance. I wouldn't be mad if you stuck with this style, despite my preference.

[@GeorgiosWise]

Always appreciate your videos Syn!

[@SynMods]

Thanks for watching early! :)

[@TheTomKatt92]

It's so amazing how far modders of skyrim have come! I can play many different roles in my group without worrying because there are plenty of mods that add so much to the game! A really fun one has been a character I've played that is MAINLY a support character and I've been travelling just enabling the followers.

[@naomy1701]

that sounds realy fun and unique! a main character that shines by making his followers the heros they couldnt be on their own ^^ very intriguing idea! 👍

[@robertfisher6421]

Love the change of pace. This was a perfect display of interesting mods without overexplaining anything.

[@Erikness123]

Insane video quality, very well made!

[@SynMods]

Much appreciated!

[@asomeone8965]

I think these shortform rapid fires really speak to your skill at writing video script as you give a comprehensive overview of the mod and presenting all I need to know to either decide if im interested enough to look into it or if it isnt for my modlist. The quality of these videos just from the art perspective is very high and made me instantly sub after just 1 video. Well done, thank you, and I'll look forward to more showcases on this channel.

[@SynMods]

Comments like this one make it all worthwhile. Welcome aboard.

[@natenabula7427]

Solid mod showcase as always, enjoying the rapid fire selection of mods but still managing to maintain your usual quality.

I often come to watch your videos because of the production value - they are so calming and engrossing to watch and I will often get excited and go grab a cup of tea to sit down and watch the latest Syn video :) The quickfire mod spotlights are great - would still love to see deep dives on mods you particularly like or those that would be remiss without that detail in their presentation. Thanks for the great content!

My computer might die with all the additional files I needed to bloody get to run all these. My PC hurts and is crying in pain lmao. It took 30 minutes to install a 108mb file because I had so many downloading at the same time.

[@zacharywranovsky]

Love this! There are so many mods for Skyrim that I know that I’ll never get to look through all of them, so this lets me see mods that I would never think to look for. The visuals are also amazing

[@danielkeino5962]

Love the format! Your Skyrim looks amazing! Very fun to watch ^^

[@SynMods]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@HauntedAbysss]

Great video. I really really enjoyed this. Perhaps you can go over a few mod lists that are gaining popularity. And Id love you to be able to show people how to make a huge mod list with all the mods you love.

[@yourneighborhoodfriendlyme4242]

I enjoy the more rapid-fire style. There's just SOOOO many Skyrim mods that knowing which to grab or that exist is more helpful for building a modlist that doing deep dives into each one. I mean, the mod authors will likely have enough description or their own vids or showcases etc. to get a good idea about the intricacies of their mod, meanwhile you do such a beautiful job of showing off each mod you talk about, even with this quicker format. Thanks for all your videos and hard work!!!

[@DangerousGazes]

Format is good, especially when I'm watching this on the move and saving it for when I'm actually at my pc and want to skim it for the mods that stuck out. Video suggestion: a showcase of mods that were considered amazing when they came out but arent mentioned anymore because all the youtubers are featuring the latest mods. Stuff like project AHO, immersive interactions, nethers follower framework are examples that many people have in their load orders but if you took a couple of months off modding when they came out you might not know about them.

[@diamat3159]

The presentation ist optimal. Not to fast not to slow. You could perhaps mention here and there if the mod is ESL- or ESP-based because this is really a thing nowadays and more and more modders reach the 254 plugin limit. Thank you for this!

[@igavinwood]

Oh wow. There are some seriously fabulous mods here. So to your question about the style of rapid fire showcasing - You've left me wanting to know more about them and a ton of questions. If you continue to use this approach then I'd love to see you do a deep dive into some of the more complex ones to cover things like compatibility and set up. Otherwise as I said at the start - Oh wow.

[@DD-Tauriel]

Lovely video. Love that format ❤ + it's very cinematic, keep on keeping on👍

[@faithcrocketmysti8303]

Always enjoy your videos! The hard part about watching things like this is I'm always finding new mods I want to add to my LO 😂

good showcase. Short, diverse, clear and informative.

[@yorae3153]

Each time you release a video, it reminds me why i ceased to mod Skyrim: Too much beautiful mod to the point of having a headache when it comes to chose and instal them. Anyway nice videos as always.

[@thedude882]

I really liked the format, it's greatto be able to quickly discover new mods!

[@SynMods]

Cheers!

[@berilsevvalbekret772]

You are the GOAT of Skyrim mods mate! If there are any mods which integrated ESO spells/skills from different classes would you showcase them here?

[@drivethrupoet]

Just now getting into Skyrim modding and was already planning to start Fallout next so yippeee! Have never played Fallout before but when I bought Skyrim I got Fallout for about $5 more. Joined the discord. Also - I like this format of review because I don't want to know all the intricacies so I can instead discover it more in game.

[@filkertom]

The rapid fire format works well. I can see you highlighting about five fewer mods, and giving each another twenty seconds, if you start getting cramped on time. But, yeah, this works!

[@SynMods]

Thank you for the feedback!

[@fanxia3100]

I think individual mod intros are great but I think for newer people to Skyrim mod, it might be helpful to them if we could introduce a set of mods that would give them a more complete new experience. World overhaul, plus character overhaul plus combat overhaul = a new game experience.

[@stevebaillargeon7136]

Love it Syn!! Just enough info

[@MildsandThatYac]

How do you edit these videos so well….. dude I can watch these videos everyday, Godtier

[@human3504]

I don't think the modding community will ever die for this game unless another Elder Scrolls comes out and they are given all the tools. Skyrim mods has taught me patience abit. having 50 or 100 mods and when one or two doesn't play nice now you gotta find which is the issue or patches.

[@Psyona]

Epic as always. Krembrule is a mad scientist and i'm here for his villain arc progression. Praise Nazeem.

[@SynMods]

Lmao

[@carbonmonoxide5052]

The rapid fire format is good. I usually watch videos to discover mods, but deciding whether or not to get them comes down to their nexus page, compatibility, requirements, etc.

[@SynMods]

Fair enough, I appreciate the feedback.

[@PsychozWorld]

Sometimes I dig longer showcases, sometimes I like this kind. So I guess I’m personally impartial? Either way, it’s done very well

[@mayormcweed1823]

Nice vid, bro would you mind telling what hair mods are you using?

[@lacesecret6041]

I like these a lot, but do you ever do focused showcases?? Like top three combat mods, enbs, etc? You could take more time to show why they're your top picks.

[@Brubarov]

Thank you for this quick spotlight, loved it. What is the armor mod of your first female character (around Riften)

[@naomy1701]

i would say it depends on the mod, if its one that is possible to be summarised in "quick shots" then by all means go for it, but if a mod needs a more detailed description to do it justice, then i would say go for that. i hope that makes sense? i.e. u could showcase a few mods that are more extensive, and then make the 2nd half of the vid a "quick fire round" if there are more mods u want to cover without make it a 45 min vid ^^ either way, i found ur channel by pure coincidence, and after a few vids im already very much hooked, ngl * *^^* * so u definitly do something right, im rather picky with who i watch for mods tbh, i cant stand ppl dancing around the bush just to extend the vid to fit the current "Meta" aka "10min vids", or some time back "30 min vids"... i realy enjoy it most when ppl just tell/show what they want to and dont concern themselfs with fitting parameters that add nothing for the viewer, i dont need things explained/told 5 times over just in slightly different words, so the vid will be longer (and i dont talk about deeper going explanations/informations, thats all find and good) so yeah definitly a channel i will keep my eyes on, and both "formats" are welcome if they fit ur plans ^^ thank you very much for ur efforts! ^^

Can you propose specific modlist: weather, scenery, combat, UI, armor, weapon, .... that would be great!

I like this rapid fire setup but I also don't have a problem with the slower - less mods setup. My first thought is that this faster setup could act as an intro to a selection of mods you want to go in more detail. Maybe have the audience comment or vote on which ones interest them to guide you from there.
