you should make this a series with doing 10 mods or under in different categories like combat, quests, npcs, etc

Didnt even know that bits and bobs mod existed, deleting 80 texture overhauls in favor of just one is such a nice feeling, cheers for the continued videos soft

[miggyluv]

It's amazing how much just these 10 mods can change the visuals. We tend to install way too many (well...I do! LOL)

Every time I want to get back to Skyrim modding I get discouraged because even my modlists that are genuinely minimalist and don't change the game significantly end up huge, and I never playing in the end.

Coincidentally, the last couple days I've been itching to play Skyrim again for the first time in years and I just stumbled on this video by chance. I'm really tempted to go through with it now, this group of mods (with a couple adjustments) might make for an excellent starting base for the graphical side of my modlist. Thank you!

[SoH]

Thank you Soft.These guide really cuts down my mod list in sense of the visual side.Thank you brother 😀

[JonIceInternational]

I never finished this game. Gonna pop these mods and play it to the end. Thank you for making it simple.

[CozyFamiliar]

The gasp I geesped when I saw the footage in this video. That is the most simple, yet gorgeous, visual update to the game I've ever seen with such few mods. Thank you for the showcase! I'm off to melt my PC to see if I can get a setup like this running with Skyrim VR!

[Maartzy]

And I am reinstalling Skyrim for another playthrough after seeing this.
Also you video on how to mod was a nice help. I played with quite a lot of mods before, but seeing one with a fresh start made me realise I may have made some errors in the past, and this one helped a lot.

[dittmerg]

finally!!! a no nonsense "simple" understandable list of mods.... Thank you!!!

After 2 weeks i Just finished building my modlist for my gameplay then i saw your video.

'Oh boy here we go again'

[madmike]

10 mods making such a huge change! I'd love to see more "10 Mods for..." combat, npc's etc!

[Axurias]

This modlist is also perfect to keep the game lore-friendly. Thanks a lot for sharing. :)

[Adialas]

Short, simple and to the point.
I am glad i found your channel.
Thank you.

[MrOffTrail]

This is just what I needed. I bought Skyrim SE years ago, but every time I’ve sat down to play, I’ve been overwhelmed by these 200+ mod “essential” modlists. So I usually just end up doing another FO4 playthrough. I’m checking out your First Skyrim Mods Everyone Should Install video too, so these should get me off the block this time. Thank you.

[justiciar]

I think the best lighting mod is ELFX. There really is nothing quite like entering a nordic ruin and it's completely unplayable without a torch but you press onward because maybe there's a brazier further in, and then you fall down a hole and hear "Blargh! ZUUUN HAALVIIK" CLANK!

[yukshee]

Excellent, straightforward guide to updating your game. Solid upvote for a clear and informative video.

[lelciones]

I have to confess... After 13 years I'm still not tired of Skyrim... but at the same time I'm very tired of Bethesda... TES6 it's a dark horizon for me

[Verchiel_]

This is a lot more up my alley. Been playing and modding skyrim for many years though most of that time i wasn't able to use most graphics mods due to performance issues.
Once i did get the opportunity to use graphics mods, i focused on just using big all encompassing overhauls to cover as much of the game in as little mod count as i could.
Might end up referencing this when i next make a modlist

I have to say, this is an impressive video showcasing how you don't have to go too mod-crazy to have a beautiful modded Skyrim experience. Kudos to you!
