Wow, thank you so much for featuring my mod in your YouTube showcase 😃

[muldersxfiles]

I always have an appreciation for your overhaul videos because there generally amazing with great suggestions

[sunayocarissime]

Bless you! I've actually been madly looking for those Riton mods. Whiterun is SO beautiful with those and I had been searching for close to a month for them. Thank you!!😍😍😍😍

Hey man in regards to your performance with your tree overhaul of choice I highly recommend you use the mod less vanilla trees and select the 30% option. When using a tree mod like Traverse or nature of the wildlands you won't notice a few select trees being removed for performance sake. It can save you up to 15 frames in some areas. I also highly recommend trying nature of the wildlands as a base and then using Traverse on top of it. Doing it this way will have nature of the wildlands replace all of the forest clutter and add some new tree models while Traverse will be the one replacing the vanilla trees creating a brilliant mixture as well as adding highly impressive detail on some of the trees like Vines and moss growing on their surface and far more detailed tree stumps and Forest debris. Not to mention nature of the wildlands also replaces your need for Skyrim 3D trees and plants but compliments well with Skyrim 3D landscape. Personally I just use nature of the wildlands instead of Traverse because it covers more so I highly recommend you check out just that one first and see how you like it as it sticks closer to vanilla while adding new trees and new details to the vanilla trees . As for Aspen trees I highly recommend you check out one of blubbos other mod Aspen again tree replacer specifically looking at the red variant. It's the highest quality aspen tree he has and as one of the best I've ever seen but it's buried in some of his older mods but you definitely have to use less vanilla trees for it . I've almost perfected my own graphical load order as I prepare to start my own YouTube modding Channel although I'll be taking a different approach.

I so look forward to your videos, not only because you bring attention to such great mods, but also because you always manage to make me laugh and smile!
You mentioned how with the newest mods it seems like the game not only looks better but also seems to run better, and I do think this is true. Many mod authors have been creating mods for about a decade now, and in that time they have learned a lot about how to get the most out of the old creation engine, and how to design mods that actually do look and run better. Having to clean mods is not such a common event now, and quite a few are made to be so compatible that fewer patches are needed. Of course, there are exceptions
( . . . . lux & Northern Roads . . . ahem!)
I also use Azurite Weathers after discovering it a couple of years ago. It gives me the most incredible sunrises and sunsets that I have ever seen in my game.
You might want to try Community Shaders, perhaps in a different profile. I just switched for my new load over, and I am truly impressed. There are a LOT of very good additions for it now, including parallax effects, grass lighting and complex, shadows, and even particle lights! The author of Azurite Weathers has a new version made to work with Community Shaders, and I added Dareni's Reshade on top.
The only time I really noticed a difference from an enb is in the light of midday, where the shadows are at their less, but this also happens in the real world ( . . . remember that place???) My personal opinion is that Lux even looks better with this setup.
The main reason I switched was that even with a 6800xt with 16gb of vram I would drop to 40 or less fps in so many places when using an enb. But now I very seldom go below 60 and am usually much higher, even into over 100fps sometimes. And the visuals are soooo damn close! That allows me to use parallax and other textures, along with larger cities and more animation mods without affecting performance as much.

Apologies for my lengthy comment. I sound like Heimskr preaching the worship of Community Shaders!
It's tough being a fanatic!

[PetrusEksteen]

I quite enjoy Treerific with most of Blubblo's mods (notably the Aspen and Pine tree mods). Also interesting point about blended roads, it does make sense to keep it in case another mod adds road pieces (though I'd lean towards removing them with xEdit anyway lol)

[joekirchner]

Amazing content as always. Love the set up and cometary! Thank you for being you!! Again I love your work!!!

[majorgear]

Nice video! I spent weeks creating a new modded install 11 months ago but haven’t played yet. Now I see these mods and think I need to start over before I can play!

[epsilon]

You should make this a collection, absolutely looks stunning good sir.

[hunterofdeath]

I love this combo PI-CHO ENB with Azurite Weathers and Seasons - also Azurite Weathers II

[CaptPanda]

Eyyy!!! Finally ❤️ I love the editing and the mod choices! Your game looks absolutely beautiful

[demonletsplays]

Also to top it off you can throw in Open City Skyrim, Sons of the Nirn, DiBella's Blessing, Blood and Ash and Daughters of Malacath to overhaul the NPCs. I would try to put in Fortitfed Whiterun if you can get it to work with Northern Roads

[jcgmusic]

I love the weird humor in your videos more than the mod showcasing xd

[wolfman]

This was super helpful! I already had about half of these, but the other half turned out to be upgrades for what I had been using. I honestly can't thank you enough for doing this

[TricksterSquad]

Why do I always tempt myself with these videos about amazing looking mods and then come to find out later after foaming at the mouth at how good they look, that they’re not on Xbox :(

[LongLiveTheKingMusic]

Awesome as always, bro! Got me laughing too hard.

[MaximilianPs]

Man I love this list and brings me some really good idea 😁👍
Northern Roads is amazing but I hate that wooden bridge 🤦
And btw IMHO Northern have cool assets but he made a real mess on terrain and playing the main quest with NPCs is a mess.

[halfbakedpotato]

This is the first video in months that i've downloaded everything from (Besides ice, its just too blue) Amazing showcase my Skyrim will be so beatific!!!

[preda]

I would like to ask you some questions
what mod manager do you have?
Should I install the mods in the order you present them?
because I was always told that you had to install the ENB last with the light mod
I hope to get an answer
THANKS .

[mohammadadeli]

the kafka outfit 🤣 ( its a character frome honkai star rail )
