The BEST Skyrim Mods of 2024! (so far)

[@CaptPanda]

Check out Manta Sleep here tinyurl.com/3m733asn and make sure to use "Panda" for 10% off your order! P.S I mixed the mods from 2nd and 3rd quarter of this year into this video~ However, it became too long... so I decided to do another video... Should be ready by next week. Each quarter really deserves its own video. Especially with all the mods that came out hahaha Mod author for Modern Wait Menu are supposed to be Fallen01135 - HeavyBurns... somehow my edit did not save. Sorry about that!

[@buckethead9276]

Dear Lord! Please I beg you good sir, what are those graphics, UI and animation mods?

[@harrysvu]

your production quality has gotten so much better, and the visuals look incredible ❤

[@CaptPanda]

Thank you :)

[@Branxfear]

Unfaltered Virtue is another mod related to destroying the Dark Brotherhood that deserves the same love as DTDB - Quest Expansion.

[@CaptPanda]

I’ll check it out for the upcoming week! :)

[@JaySerpa]

Amazing job!! Thank you for the superb mod showcases!!

[@anton8774]

By Talos beard!! Its him! ❤

[@CaptPanda]

How can I not? “BEST Mods” will never be complete without a Jayserpa mod 😂 jokes aside, no problem bro!! Your mods are amazing

My issue with AI isn't the voice quality it's that it's bad for voice actors.

[@backgroundcharacterj5071]

I don't think its bad entirely just as long as its not being used monetary gain

[@syrathegreat]

@@backgroundcharacterj5071 true, but previously amateur voice actors would have been hired for these roles so it's been incredibly rough for people trying to get started and build a portfolio for getting professional gigs

[@blupuncakes8458]

@@backgroundcharacterj5071 That's a fair stance to take, but if people begin investing in advancing AI voice generation technology for this purpose it'll take away a lot of peoples livelihoods.

Small warning, according to the author of DCA, it is incompatible with the Majestic Dragons mod, that's why I avoided installing both mods together :c I mention this so that people know that they should probably choose one or the other EDIT: My little mistake, read Panda's answer to have both mods :D

[@CaptPanda]

It says: and IF ONLY you download the optional file “Dragon Skeleton”. I used both DCA and Majestic Dragons together as seen in the video. :) So both mods should work fine. Just do not download the optional file in the DCA downloads section

[@GJJ.]

@@CaptPanda Thanks for the clarification, I guess fatigue played tricks on me and I misread the author's warning, so now I'll also try both mods together haha, great list of mods in the video btw :D

[@CaptPanda]

@@GJJ. no worries at all! Just a small misread and your intentions were to warn others is kind of you :) so I still appreciate it!

[@johnb9573]

Wow I just decided I want to start a save on PC (I’ve been playing on the Switch which sucks), started wondering what mods were around, and instantly found your video uploaded 4 hours ago! Crazy how many people still actively play this game

[@CaptPanda]

Hahahaha Skyrim’s community is still standing strong!!

Great video as always dude! I'm gonna have to check out Modern Wait Menu myself... Something I didn't know I wanted haha

[@CaptPanda]

Thanks bro〜 I always appreciate you stopping by. Yeah MWM is amazing

[@joshhaney9219]

Destroying the Brotherhood is an option in Vanilla Skyrim! It's my favorite questline when I'm doing a chaotic good playthrough!

[@CaptPanda]

Yes indeed :) Jayserpa just made it even better!

[@mvh-]

13:42 I’ve been looking for this mod for days, thank you panda

[@jaellpeerless]

No need to apologize :Y

[@CaptPanda]

Thanks! ;)

[@TheChatwins]

Brooo I gave up on this game last year because it looked outdated. This makes it look dope. Does your Nexus mod list include any of these updated ones in the video?

[@CaptPanda]

Looking back I also can’t play Vanilla Skyrim anymore 😂 I used to think the OG Skyrim had the best graphics of all games (11 years ago) But yeah, my modlist is pure graphics only :) and if you get the NG it includes animations + graphics. It’s built for customizability for users. So if you do not like my NPC replacer for example, you can switch the mod with something you like. All the mods I share on KZbin are compatible with my modlist〜

[@paulmouatib9999]

Very good selection my friend :)

[@CaptPanda]

Thanks bro :)

[@igavinwood]

Always like your mod showcases Panda. I hope you will update your Eldergleam mod list soon to put some of these new mods in. Also a way to deactivate some too, for those of us that find things like 'Dismembering' not for them.

[@naji_aka_Tracey]

Yeah, I really do not like the Dismemberment mod. That and S.D.A. are really deal-breakers for me. As long as they can be disabled, I'm good.

[@CaptPanda]

Thank you for your kind words! :) I am working on the ultimate version as we speak which will include most of the mods I showcase in this channel + some extra ones

[@CaptPanda]

Luckily, you can disable them without any problems. No need to rerun nemesis or anything

[@igavinwood]

@@CaptPanda I recently switched to Pandora Behaviour Engine. I am mightily impressed with it. Backward compatible for FNIS and Nemesis and so so fast. I've had zero issue with it. I think it's the next step up,

[@CaptPanda]

Thank you so much!!

[@heinrichbruyns9360]

Thanks for the Vid. What are the conversation mods you are using? Convos looks so immersive...? Do you have a mod list where this pplaythrough has all the active mods showing...

[@CaptPanda]

I have a modlist that has all the graphical, fixes, and animations (for NG only). The conversation mod is called improved alternate conversation camera

[@chucknorris5476]

Make a video on mods that focus on making the clothing, armor and weapons look and behave a lot more realistic. As well as improving the character and npc's faces making them look a bit more realistic and apear less horible animated with zero effort put into them. Like the old lady related to the dark brotherhood quest. Other then that i really enjoy this video on the mod list you made.

[@CaptPanda]

I do have a video like that. I think it’s one of my Immersive Mods series

[@jackmcmahon6964]

Hey Panda! I love your videos. I’m currently downloading Eldergleam as we speak! Can I ask if a lot of the mods you’re uploading are compatible with Eldergleam? If possible I’m wanting to use your Eldergleam but make a darker, gothic fantasy vibe :) cheers! Appreciate all your work

[@CaptPanda]

Yes compatible :) all my videos are compatible with Eldergleam since it’s the modlist I use to showcase.

[@jackmcmahon6964]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I should look into MO2 to check if mods are compatible to use with Eldergleam? I asked chat gpt and that’s what it said haha! 😋

[@jackmcmahon6964]

@@CaptPanda I thought so! Just wanted to double check. Again, thanks so much for all your work. I’ve played Skyrim since 2011 when I was 16, it’s such an important game to me. So excited to try getting Eldergleam to work! Cheers :)

[@CaptPanda]

@@jackmcmahon6964 that and the only way to really know is to check it in game Also, make sure to read the mod author’s description/comments on nexus and see if there are any mentions of a specific mod being incompatible. If there are, you can look through MO2 and search for the mods. If you found none, then it’s safe to add the mod. Just make sure to put it in the appropriate order in MO2 (left side and right side under plugins). Make sure to check the requirements in the modpage too〜

I'm not a fan of Majestic Dragons. It just makes them clip trough everything in the environment and it's so obvious and in your face it's impossible to ignore.

[@CaptPanda]

Well… there’s a lot of things that clips in Skyrim 😅 even the base game alone you’ll see clipping. Even armors clip but I know what you mean. Personally, I do not mind since it will usually only clip inside cities or if the dragon goes on top of a structure. We usually fight dragons in the open so…

[@RetrOrigin]

@@CaptPanda Ya, clipping is always an issue for sure, is just that Dragons are already big creatures and with Majestic Dragons making them even bigger clipping is just way too much for me.

[@Dionysus-207]

I absolutely love your mods showcases, however I will never understand the need for the mods that transform the NPCs into Victoria's Secret models, which are also present in Eldergleam. I hope one day we'll get something lore-friendly, a mod that modernizes their looks, but not making everyone pretty with clean skin and perfect face structure.

[@CaptPanda]

Eldergleam Ultimate will have a more lore-friendly approach :) I only used ModApocalyse NPC overhaul as it’s the only All in One NPC replacer mod. Eldergleam NG/Graphics Only are built to be customizable with ease so I believed it was a good decision to use ModApocalypse so people using my modlist can easily switch the NPC out without having too many problems

[@evansheehan9258]

I’d recommend a mod by the name of “Ordinary People Refined” to you, it covers a lot of NPCs, giving them faces that are less beautiful and more distinct. Like honestly it’s so far one of the best overhauls I’ve found with CBBE, AI overhaul and USSEP support

Does Lani Minella, the voice actor for Jenassa, know about that AI mod that's using her voice? Did she consent to it? What's Bethesda's position on people exploiting an actor's work for mods? If Lani didn't consent, or if the MA is taking any tips on their page, then it should be taken down. And it certainly shouldn't be promoted.
