I 'am 56 years old and a Skyrim Fan from day 1. After a recent accident I found myself paralyzed from the chest down. With so much time on my hands I found myself searching youtube for Skyrim videos and found this one!!! I installed Nolvus Monday and can't put the controller down.

THANK YOU from the bottom of my Heart! What a Masterpiece!! The views are absolutely amazing!!

[FordFanatic]

This mod pack is not only legendary, but nolvus's installer is brilliant and automated with a+ instructions. Everything is laid out clearly and explained so well. The quality is top notch. Wow is all I have to say

[mononcle_gervais]

Marvelous editing skills.. The choices of music and audio editing are just perfect. You have a really good talent at presenting the mods. Everything is working in perfect harmony. I wish id saw your videos sooner, but I guess better late than never, im definitely here to stay. You really make us want to play it. Amazing work.

[neivo]

I downloaded this the other day and as a Skyrim veteran, this is the best modpack you will ever play. Everything feels brand new yet familiar and not having to slog through the modding process to make the game enjoyable was a huge bonus. Everything runs smoothly and invested in a new SSD and extra ram just to play this. 10/10

[SinglyPringly]

My guy...This video is a masterpiece. Every choice in footage to show, music, your descriptions, segues. It's all top tier quality, fantastic job and I'm 1000% going to give nolvus a shot now. Be proud of this video, amazing work.

Been playing Skyrim on and off since it's release day back in 2011, but having dived into the modding scene a while back I used to have to dedicate almost an entire week to getting it installed and set up just-so. Been getting the itch to play it again and this can't believe the trove I stumbled across with this video!! Thank you so much for making this and getting word of the modpack out there :D

[jhammylive]

Install was super simple, the guide on the site is really easy to follow. I just launched, got to the starting room for Alternate Start and this weekend can’t get here fast enough! 12 years of console later and this is my first time playing with mods. What an awesome way to celebrate the anniversary! 🎉🎉
Thanks for the awesome upload!!! 🙏🏾

[BossKillRatio]

Best review ive seen, ive been playing nolvus for about a week now and you taught me a lot about it... didnt realise it had so much depth. Liked and subscribed, looking forward to your other videos. Top quality.

[andreshernandez]

147 hours of playtime on Steam but spent most time modding to exhaustion, over and over. Decided to reset (again) and give this a try. So far so good! Looking forward to this playthrough.

[Mish_Age]

This mage gameplay looks like everything I could possibly want to. Spell weaving with combat stances and even some close ranged combat. Absolutely stunning. Unfortunately, my pc is weak, but with the upgrade this mod pack will be the first thing I will install. Ty for the mod demonstration!

[AtraxX]

What modding has done to this game is simply unbelievable!

Great video, more people need to know about nolvus or wabbajack because there are soooo many great mods out and most of us can’t or don’t want to figure out how to mod the game, find conflicts etc.

I would love to see more mod list reviews from you!

[diegoleiva]

Just installed Nolvus Redux two days ago on my 3060 laptop, runs great at 1080p (900p upscaling) with the medium preset. With high it chugged hard at places, medium made things smooth while looking absolutely incredible. I do have 32 GB of RAM and it still stutters from time to time. Doesn't take away from the fact that it's an phenomenal mod collection. It expands the game so much it's crazy.

[brewchowski]

I started playing this last week, and it’s hard to believe I’m taking moments to just admire how absolutely gorgeous things are for a game that released more than a decade ago.

Absolutely insane modding community and pack organizer.

There are some graphical bugs, and some quests are buggy, but I recommend going into the game with an adventure mindset—accept that things may not work and you’re just there to explore a world, and you’ll have a blast

[Soquilli]

I was on the fence about getting Nolvus but this video single-handedly convinced me to dive in! As others have mentioned, the work you clearly put into this video is insane but the actual cinematography in this video is absolutely incredible and pushes what already looks like a gorgeous and feature-packed mod into one that looks like a movie. Huge kudos and I look forward to seeing more content from you!

[Jochumvideos]

Just installed the Nolvus modpack and I'm gearing up for my 100th playthrough of Skyrim! This modpack is absolutely stunning—it feels like a completely new game every time. Thanks so much for making this tutorial, it made the whole process a breeze! Looking forward to diving in, and I hope you keep making even more amazing videos! 🙌

[voidisvirtue]

I have been playing this for the last few days. It only crashed once on me and froze once after that. Then nothing since then. Id say about 16hours of gameplay after those two occurs with no problems. I have been modding this game for years and never look forward to the days of modding and tweaking to get my own personal list to work right with 1000 mods. I threw all that out and downloaded this and now I can finally play the game and have fun instead of modding it. Thanks for everyone involved in putting this mod list together and making it work. It is amazing!
(-After 20 hours more playtime no crashes. Fantastic!)

[miggyluv]

Great video. And it's nice to see a showcase like this also guiding players too. I love Nolvus but the problem with any large mod list is that you often aren't aware of all the extra elements added so you can end up missing out on so much. This showcase helps you find and even configure some of these more hidden additions. Also, thanks for showcasing Vlad! 😁

[kambennett]

This is nuts, I JUST downloaded your Druid preset yesterday, and then I see this.

You're quite the giver, Mr. Zen!

[rokosbasilisk]

You delved into that in a way I've never seen in a review before. Very open to playing in other ways you might gravitate yourself and explaining them thoroughly. Just blown away by the Nolvus collection and a similar awe at this new review level I hope becomes more standard.

[BruceWayne-nstv]

There is no doubt this is best collection/mod pack period. You explained everything perfectly
