thanks for watching - let me know if you have any feedback and what you want to see next

Read the Room is not a minimalistic mod. It requires a good portion of the animation mod suite. 5 first level requirements and at least 3 second level requirements including 1 that requires a separate program to be run to configure. Just FYI to people looking for "small and minimalistic" mods.

You give me heavy Brodual vibes, love it!

I absolutely LOVE when modders put that considerable extra effort in to voice act a mod, it's SO immersive. one of the easiest ways to break immersion is when you get an unvoiced dialog in a voiced game

Nice showcase! The quality of your videos is getting better and better :) Also, thank you for featuring Immersive Death Cycle! Those examples were pure fire, awesome job 🔥

It's been a few years since I played Skyrim, all of the mods you feature is making me want to mod and play skyrim again. Informative with an aesthetic looking Skyrim to showcase all of these is certainly convincing me to mod again. Thank you very much for all your work.

Immersive Death Cycle is great. I just wish I knew how to edit it so that the cycle takes days or weeks instead of 12 hours.

Nice vid anyway, cheers : -)

I love the pigeon sitting down for a good sweeping

This is such a great list! It proves that it’s the small things that matter. Also I love your voice it’s really calming

[ddave]

your channel has become my go-to for Skyrim mods, the mods showcased perfectly suit my tastes! keep up the good work

I have the Gildergreen regrown mod, and it's the little immersion mods like that which I love and bring so much needed life to Skyrim. I also have a Gildergreen consequences mod, which is a nice little touch to add various npcs and dialogue about their thoughts, depending on which tree option you choose in the questline.
I love these mods! Read the Room looks amazing. I was wandering around Skyrim today, and as my char wears a hooded cloak, was thinking just how nice it'd be if she'd lift up her hood to cover her head when it rains or snows. Don't know if that kind of thing is possible on the Xbox, however...?

I watched numberless mod showcase videos and your mods mostly unique, unlike the others keep repeating same mods, great job 😄

Please continue this series with more categories. As someone who hasn't looked into skyrim modding for years due to falling out of the loop on whats good/fun/interesting im very happy to see your recommendations

Great showcase, immersion mods are the best! The Abandoned Abodes, Read the Room, Gildergreen Regrown, and Death Cycles mods seem fantastic

The Volcano Tundra Heat Effects mod made me realize I hadn't seen any player home mods for the area, so I went looking for some. After some digging, I found two (for Special Edition, I must add): Watermist Shack adds a small home right on the border of the hot springs area north of Darkwater Crossing (just northwest of Eldergleam Sanctuary), and Northwind Hunter's Cabin adds a home seemingly high on the south cliff overlooking the springs and waterfall.

I'll need to try these when I boot up Skyrim again...along with the Heat Effects, of course!

Great mod list and showcase! Keep up the good work.

Just saved the video on my playlist to try it when i got free time. Nice video!

[nickthetoycollector]

A Step-By-Step video on how, exactly, one goes about installing many of these intricate, and often confusing mods would be highly appreciated.
Mainly the ones involving custom animations, skins, etc. I can never get them to perform accurately.

More great work.
It’s vids like this that’ll keep me sucked in to Skyrim until the next main series installment (that is to say, indefinitely)

[LexJMorgan]

Redshift strikes again. I don't know how you find all these, but every mod you showcase is fantastic. Thank you so much for doing the work to put these videos together.
