THE ULTIMATE SKYRIM SE MOD LOAD ORDER FOR XBOX ONE X - GRAPHICS & IMMERSION

Here is my Vanilla+ mod list that I have used to nearly complete Skyrim... Again! 😂80+ hours in on this playthrough, so thought I would share my mods and load order with you. Only 70 mods as I actually like to play the game and not worry about crashes or corrupt saves... It's nothing special and designed for those who want a vanilla playthrough with a bit of Awesome-Sauce thrown on!

Thank you for sharing this; I've implemented large portions of your load order (I prefer Enai's mods, e.g., Vokrii, Apocalypse, etc) and I can't be more pleased with the look and feel of the game.

[@sanguinelynx]

I'm glad I found your channel and read the comments. My game has been crash happy lately, and I didn't realize part of the issue was the GP update. I wanted to try Dark Ages, but am having a bugger of a time with it, in spite of using logical load order. Skyland is the most stable for me, but it's not my favorite, probably because it's always my fall back graphics mod and I've used it a lot. I noticed you place your Graphic Packs higher in load order rather than towards the bottom. So no difference in its performance? Thanks for sharing your set up! Edit: Your game looks great!

[@NASH78]

Appreciate the kind words. Thank you. Dark Ages or Noble Skyrim are both great, in my opinion. I have tried several recommended load orders in the past and after many, many years have stuck with my own. I always put whatever AIO graphics I'm using at the top, it enables me to overwrite with other graphical mods and it seems to work better on the OneX. :) I'm not a fan of Skyland but it does seem to be very stable. There a far too many mods to list individually, but have you tried StoneSpiral ports?.. They seem to be very good and it's a lot of CleverChaffs graphics, which are awesome.

[@sanguinelynx]

@@NASH78 Funny I was just looking at them a few hours ago, I'm actually thinking of giving them a try. I want to change things up a bit. Thanks, Pixel!

[@NASH78]

@@sanguinelynx No worries. Here to help if I can. Don't forget, Skeletors GP is made from lots of other people's stuff, which you can find individual downloads of. :) The artists involved are; Osmodius, Langley, Brumbek, JD Anchor, Billyro, LoneWolf, Campolo313, Sforzinda, T4gtr34um3r, LucidAP and a few more.

[@NASH78]

On my next Mod Showcase I will be using the individual graphic mods I like from these particular authors, instead of a "pack".

[@sanguinelynx]

@@NASH78 I'll keep an eye out for it!

First!.. If there are any mods in this video or any Skyrim content you would like me to cover in a separate video then please suggest any ideas here in the comments. Don't forget to like and subscribe as I stream on Twitch most days and will be putting all videos here on KZbin. :)

[@Razsor97]

Hey just checked the list out. Is there another way I can look at this?

[@nazeem8085]

Also which “Aetherius” mod is it because there are a bunch with that title

[@TheRedRaven_]

I heard Skeltor realistic lighting overhaul was added recently, could that be safely added to this list? Btw great list, I’m gonna apply it tonight.

[@NASH78]

I had problems with RLO myself and didn't experiment with it. It's amazing on the PC but the Xbox version wasn't for me. If you did want to try it out though, replace ELE lighting with RLO and replace Rustic Weathers with a mod like True Storms that only affects weather. :)

[@TheRedRaven_]

Pixel Damage Dude thanks for the quick reply, I’ll experiment and see if I like it. Subbed, would like to see more of your load outs in the future 🤘🏻

[@NASH78]

@@TheRedRaven_ Thanks for the sub dude... Appreciated.

[@TheRedRaven_]

Pixel Damage So I was enjoying your mod load out , just added a few custom armors and swords on the bottom of the load out and for some reason my character stopped getting EXP. This ever happen to you? I’m just stuck at level 1, bar doesn’t fill or anything. I got some crashes as well (I’m on XB1X).

[@NASH78]

@@TheRedRaven_ Any armour or weapon additions would probably sit best just under, the Variations mod. As for the fact your character isn't levelling; This sounds like a levelling issue with the mods you have installed, although I have never heard of experienced it myself! Have you tried using these mods mid play or on an old save? Have you tried paying for a skill upgrade from an NPC to see if this helps?

[@danpook5529]

Cool, man. Affirmation that less really is more when it comes to modding on ye olde xbox.

[@NASH78]

Adding just enough to make the game feel fresh, was the intent. 150 mods from the most popular list would of been used, if I only wanted to play the game for 5 minutes at a time! 😉

[@danpook5529]

@@NASH78 I hear you, dude. I only ever play with, on average, 40-60 mods. Vanilla's alright. Just needs a helping hand. 😀

[@richardbaldwin2337]

I love the load order but what variations armor and clothing was that since there's a few different ones

[@NASH78]

I can't remember what the actual version was at the time of recording but it was the complete variations collection as apposed to the separate different ones. It's a very large mod, the biggest on the list if I remember correctly at about 800mb. I will go through the list later and update the post with the exact version and a link for you. :)

[@asix9009]

Hey there, me again, so I ran into a problem that's says i dont have enough free memory when I have plenty of space, do you have a fix for this? Also the (Variations: armour and clothing mod) there's like 10 of them, which one do I download?

[@NASH78]

This problem is quite common and known as "ghost files". The 5gb limit on the Xbox seems to sometimes get clogged with cached files that you have deleted. There is only one fix for this and unfortunately it means wiping the reserved storage space and downloading everything again.

[@NASH78]

You can wipe the reserved storage space by selecting the game on your Xbox but instead of launching it, press the menu button and scroll down to manage game and add-ons, from here select saved data and you will see "reserved space". Select this item and clear reserved space. Hope this helps.

[@diegochinchilla3209]

Do you have a link where I can go to the Bethesda page and just add it on my library, without having to look one by one

[@NASH78]

In my next video for my August load order, I will include links in the description, so you know exactly what mod to use. The new list will be smaller and will be another Vanilla+ overhaul. Please subscribe, so you can stay up to date dude and thanks for the reminder! :)

[@saggindodobird1469]

Great load order, I keep crashing while going through doors do you know how to fix?

[@NASH78]

@Saggin Dodobird - This seems to be happening since the graphics pack got updated and I'm still trying to figure out if it's upscaling or mesh clashes. It's definitely something to do with the way the engine renders and seems to be minimised so long as no additional mods are added that either add their own textures or change and add their own meshes. :)

[@abrahamdye5624]

Have any of you found a way to fix this problem?

[@nazeem8085]

Anyone had any luck finding out what’s causing the crashes?

[@NASH78]

For what it's worth... The updates of Graphics Pack seem to be the problem... It's not just changing textures, it's also altering and adding meshes. I will not be using any of Skeletors mods in future videos... They are far too unstable and I'm starting to think that, much like StoneSpiral imports, they're not tested thoroughly. :) I will be doing a brand new list of mods for August. So make sure you subscribe. I really do try my hardest to create the effect load order for us OneX owners. :)

[@praxis22]

@@NASH78 I never had problems with Skeletor's stuff. Though I did have issues with mods that added NPC's to roads

[@NASH78]

@@praxis22 Conflicts' with mods are strange ones!.. What crashes some games, may not crash others. I had JK running for months with no hiccups but after a a few other mods were updated (including Skeletons GP), I started getting the infamous Dragons Reach crash. I just found that in my personal playthroughs, on the OneX, mods that alter cities, towns and NPC's run a lot smoother without additional textures redundant meshes and Skeletors, as beautiful as it is, is just a mash of textures and redundant meshes. One thing I appreciate, now I have dropped Skeletors GP from my load order is using Eli's breezehome and several other house mods, that would only CTD before. His textures and lighting are only mash-ups of other works from very good mod authors, whom themselves only use stock images from resource sites and other games... So I'll probably be looking for an alternative in my next load order. Glad it works for you though and thanks for the message.

There's only one "Aetherius - A Race Overhaul"!.. Here's the link anyway. -> bethesda.net/en/mods/skyrim/mod-detail/4119040

[@nazeem8085]

Would Ordinator cause any issues?

[@NASH78]

Ordinator will need the Adamant patch or have Ordinator instead of Adamant!.. Otherwise yes, having 2 conflicting mods that do the same thing will cause issues. Also, the Aetherius that is used is the original SimonMagus one that accompanies his other mods; Mundus and Adamant. I didn't realise there were multiple versions of this mod! 🤔

@@nazeem8085 Thanks man. Hope it works as well for you as it does for me. Don't forget (if you can) it's always a wise idea to clear the 5gb cache, download all mods, hard reset and start a fresh new game. :) You can always add me on Xbox Live and I'll be happy to help.

[@nazeem8085]

Pixel Damage I followed the LO to a t but I’m having crashes every so often while changing cells, it’s usually only every couple hours but the last was twice in 5 minutes, any idea? Thanks

[@NASH78]

@@nazeem8085 I have found that different saves do different things... It's a strange one! Since the update of Graphics Pack, I have experienced multiple cell crashes on new saves, but only in Whiterun and along the River just before Riverwood... I only noticed the updates today! I'm not sure what's causing the issue exactly but suspect either; mesh conflicts, texture upscale or lighting. All of these have been known to be related to engine issues and the latest patch. I will look into this later by doing 3 things, you could try them also. 1. Disable Realistic Water. 2. Disable Rustic Weather with Mythical Ages. 3. Disable SMIM. Where exactly are you getting the crashes? I'm always trying to perfect my load order and iron out the creases, so any feedback would help. :)

I don't follow a template. They're all so old now, I gave up! 😂 I just used Logical as a base and messed around for a few months until I got what I considered stable. So long as I don't add any city overhauls or use anything like placeable statics with this load order, she's a pretty solid gal!
