Essential Quality of Life Mods for Skyrim

foreign top quality of life mods to help modernize and improve the Skyrim gameplay experience we'll dive straight in with immersive equipment display a mod that brings more visual Flair and personalization to your Dragonborn in the base game you might have noticed that only one piece of equipment can be displayed in your character at a time but with immersive equipment displays now all your favorited items be it a bow and great sword or sword and Dagger can be seen adorning your Dragonborn simultaneously and the mod doesn't stop there it even includes an in-game customization menu where you can tweak the position of items for example I like to configure my crevice to be belt fastened which you can do by pressing shift page down to open the menu then navigating to view equipment slots actor then scroll down to ammo and then scroll down to the ammo section and here under node or select quiver chesco which will now give us Belfast and quivers the motors also capable of displaying various miscellaneous items from an elder scroll in your inventory to a gold pouch that even changes size depending on how much money you're carrying a potion belt to display What potions you have as well as Quest items like arvat skull the Golden Claw or the Dragonstone or even musical instruments for Wilder characters instead of going through the hassle configuring all the items myself I use missiles preset which includes all those items if you want to use missiles producer to load it all you have to do is open the display manager menu then navigate to presets and here you'll see all your downloaded presets just click any one of them and click merge then do that for all of massage presets if there's ever a true must have mod immersive equipment displays would be a it's a complete wardrobe upgrade for your character making your gear as dynamic as the world around you this next mod on our list might seem basic but it makes a world of a difference we have read or take as you know vanilla for some reason you're forced to open a book when you merely wanted to add it to your collection but with this mod you finally have the choice between reading it or taking it with you for later by holding the shift key you can switch between reading or taking the birth I find this comes especially handy when handling skill tones as you can now save them up for when your skills are harder to level up there's a small adjustment but one that certainly should have been a feature in the vanilla game following on with a humble but effective mod we have telekinesis and traps with this mod your telekinesis spell is no longer just a gimmick it's your key to avoiding those traps scattered throughout your journey in the vanilla game inexplicably traps in the telekinesis spell do not interact with each other however this one brings them together for instance when you stumble upon a soul gem trap instead of risking your life you can now disarm the Trap by simply using telekinesis to pull the gem towards you it's a simple change but one that adds a practical Edge to an otherwise questionably useful spell next we have forget spell which I've already covered in a previous video so I'll be brief as you progress as a mage the Spellman you can get cluttered with unwanted or redundant spells forget spells allows you to declutter your Spellbook allowing you to remove the Spells you no longer need so now you can get rid of that novice level flame spell when you're a master spellcaster or if your role playing is a pure warrior with no magic skills this one provides a clean way to wipe the Slate of the default spells now let's Venture into the realm of user interface enhancements our first mod here security overhaul lock variations this will proves life into the stale and overused lock model by introducing unique clock designs based on the door or container you're attempting to crack open it covers the doors and chests and drama ruins farmer camps the snow Elven chests found in the Forgotten Veil the chest found an apocrypha and those Frost encrusted chest and doors scattered across the snowy Landscapes of Skyrim but the improvements don't stop there the mod boasts two add-ons Regional locks and lock add-ons which both amplify the amount of new locks available Regional locks provides unique locks for some of the Cities including Raven Rock White Run solitude Windhelm and rifton as well as including New Lots for the College of Winterhold and tell mithrin additionally they add specific designs for the Caged doors strong boxes and safes lock add-ons on the other hand brings in a range of new lock stars for the alien ruins Nordic ruins the Eerie Soul can the tension cable lock which is often found on trap chests as well as the worn out water lock chest lock I installed these three mods back when they first released and I can't see myself ever uninstalling them moving on to our next UI mod we have Horse Stamina HUD this one provides a useful and clever little UI tweak instead of your character stamina being displayed whilst on a horse the meter now displays your Mount stamina letting you manage those long distance rides better our third UI mod is oxygen meter 2. this Nifty add-on introduces a custom UI widget that displays the remaining oxygen left for your character this comes in handy for trying to loot those underwater chests or any other situation where breath control is vital and we couldn't have a quality of life mode video without detection meter it does away with scone's original sneak meter and welcomes the new UI feature seen in modern South games like Hitman once you go into sneak mode detection meters are displayed on NPCs based on the following principles when not in combat NPCs that have a line of sight on you will display a white Arrow bar which points towards their Direction how full the white virus indicates the detection value a completely filled out white bar means that the NPC has found you at which point the meter starts to flash in combat it works the same way when a hostile actor has detected you sneaking a red bar will show and fill out depending on how much they've detected you once the enemy is fully detected you the bar will again Flash detection meter is a great mod as it offers a clear streamlined representation or if the enemies have spotted you and finally for the last of the UI mods we have better third person selection this mod brings a more intuitive approach to object interaction in third person no longer do you have to aim directly at an object to interact with it instead of General aim in the object's direction will suffice as the mod selects the objects for you which means you'll no longer have to switch between first and third person to figure out small items such as gold coins but also introduced to the new mechanism which lets you cycle between all objects and range using the shift key and the mouse wheel if you enjoy playing in third person you should definitely use this mode next we have some little animation tweaks starting with super fast get up this one makes the getup animation considerably quicker and more consistent with the place of Mortal Kombat it cuts the vanilla face down animation from 3 seconds to just over one and the face-up animation from 5 seconds to one and a half a Nimble addition to your mod this I'd say next we're going to highlight a series of mods by The Talented Samuel ga24 our first stop is tools not weapons this one switches the animation rewarding a pickaxe Woodcutter ax or fishing rod to be a more relaxed posture and swing animation when you're not in combat the pickaxe will be strong as if you're mining a rock which actually works well as a way to mine the materials faster and the ax will be swung as of cutting wood continuing on with Samuel's mods we have don't sheath bound weapons as a subtle but immersive change to the animation of bound weapons instead of the strangely literal sheathing of these weapons they now dissipate as if being properly dispelled and our final pick of Samuel's mods is blind animations this unique mod brings a lot more depth to the blind characters of Skyrim namely dexian evercus after reading the Elder Scroll where previously dexian would move as if unaffected by his Newfound blindness this mod introduces blind like animations when he walks around enhancing the consistency and immersion factor of the game next we have better jumping this will fundamentally improve skyen's Mobility by enabling jumping while sprinting really simple but I can no longer play without it when coming up next we have a sorted animation fixes this one I announced some minor Kinks found in Skyrim's original animations it eliminates the jittery end of the third person torch holding animation corrects the malformed fingers during the running and serenity animations and Smooths out the subtle shaking of the left hand while wearing a great sword it also resolves the jerky ending of the female diagonal walking animation also finally fixes the issue when wielding a staff in your right hand and spelling your left as before it caused the left hand as well to flow up into the wrong position well that's all the ones I have today I just wanted to say I have a new Discord for Skyrim wedding discussion anyways thanks for watching subscribe for more and don't forget to endure so much you enjoy [Music] foreign [Music]
