How to Remaster Skyrim with Mods (my lazy Skyrim mod list)

thank you in this video I'll be showcasing my own Skyrim mod list which will overhaul both the visuals and gameplay mechanics bringing Skyrim closer to the look and feel of a truly remastered version of the game this video is going to be split into two main sections visuals and gameplay visually I aim to have a touch of both realism and fantasy in gameplay wise I just tried to improve upon the core vanilla experience I highly encourage you to use my mod list to serve as a base for your own customized Skyrim experience now let's start with the core Graphics mods for a long time I use Vivid Landscapes but just recently I switched the Omnibus the Omnibus is a collection of all the terrain Parallax textures released by The Talented mysterious Dawn and one easy download if you didn't know Parallax shaders are used to create a 3d effect for textures the mod covers all the snow dirt sand and other natural grounds these textures are excellently handcrafted and feature realistic details and colors making the game's environment more Next Generation looking and as for mountains I is northfire's photo rail mountains which gives them a more dark and textured look northrise textures also require Majestic mountains which improve fundamental meshes making them less blocky and more realistic known to Flora to replace the trees I use happy little trees the mod replaces the vanilla trees with high quality new ones to enhance the visuals while maintaining a low performance cost the nutrients blend excellently into Skyrim's environment and even come with improved animations for windy weather to compete with the new trees I use qw's grass patch 2. the mod combines the grasses from Cathedral 3D Pine grass origins of the forest and fault of anger to create a rich and diverse ground cover with this one installed you can expect to see a variety of new grass types including taller grasses and wildflowers this one definitely brought us more in the fantasy side of things but I think it fits perfectly with the new trees and Landscape textures moving on to the water I use water free and B which aims to enhance grounds Water by utilizing the advanced features offered by ENB series the most completely overused and improves upon the vanilla Water by adding new textures and effects including waves which makes the water look much more realistic and dynamic now we need to overhaul the underside of Skyrim to enhance the caves I use parallax caves also by mysterious Dawn the mod aims to make case more visually appealing by adding more detail to their textures through parallel shaders getting more specific for Ice Caves I use Skyrim remastered caves the more completely overwhoods the Ice Caves to look like actual ice and as for Nordic ruins I use Rudy's textures which offer improved details and more realistic visuals making the runes for more ancient and weathered now we're going to move on to the towns and cities as a base I use scone 2020 this mod actually covers nearly the entirety of Skyrim with new textures however for my list I only use the new textures for the cities and towns with this one installed the buildings and structures in Skyrim will look more realistic and detailed Skyrim 2020 is one of the most downloaded mods on the entire Nexus and it's obvious why the textures are of a near unparalleled quality and are perfect for achieving that next-gen look now as wonderful the Skyrim 2020's rendition of white Runners I just about prefer illustrious right run by wine Dave this text effect is right around a darker and more Regal look I especially enjoy the new wool textures and dark banners now to add more character to the minor cities of Skyrim I use the cities of the north series these four mods replace the generic buildings using the minor cities of falkris Dawnstar Winterhold and morsel with new unique and visually interesting ones the mod series aims to give each of the minor towns a strong visual identity similar to the major cities in Skyrim each of the buildings is handcrafted and designed to emphasize the Nordic aesthetic of Skyrim while also being functional and immersive to make the Interiors of our buildings look even better I use Lux which provides a complete rework of the game's interior lighting the author has reworked the vanilla features an asset rebuilt lights and place them by hand throughout the interior spaces to create a dramatic yet amazing looking new Interiors Lux especially focuses to improve the consistency and realism of lighting for ENB users speaking of which throughout this video you've been seeing my EMB of choice as the right weathers with pico e and B as Wright weathers comes from the author of some of the most beloved weather mods including Cathedral and obsidian weathers advert offers a realistic weather system with a Fantastical touch and it's sure to immerse you in the game's atmosphere adding in Pico EMB makes the blue skies Bluer and the green grass greener yet never looks over the top in my opinion overall this EMB and weather combo adds a new level of beauty to Skyrim that's hard to match now in order to enhance the visual appearance of our player character in NPCs in Skyrim is a combination of mods let's start with the male skin textures for this I use Sky sight skins this mod not only provides high resolution textures for male characters but also gives them realistic foot meshes and so the strange blocks that come with the villain of the game to match the new high-risk skin textures for males I use tempered skins for female characters this book provides equally as high quality textures which I think match well with the new and improved male ones moving on to hair I use vanilla hair remake this mod not only improves the hair meshes but also adds physics to the hair this means that when you move around your head will realistically Sway and move with you it's a small detail but really adds the overall immersion of the game and to improve the Beards I use beards as well as beards of power the simply named beards mod provides New Quality textures for the facial hair whereas beards of power introduces new variants of the Beards giving male characters more customization options now to overhaul the look of NPCs I use high poly true to vanilla NPC overhaul this one incorporates the new beers from beards of power and the improved hairs from vanilla hair remake and adds them to NPCs in a lore friendly manner and to retext of the armor and weapons I use a medium born which I'm sure you're all familiar with it's been a staple in my load order for many years and you can see why it offers High Fidelity often darker new textures for the weapons and armor in game however especially for iron armor I use Resurgence Armory by iconic death as I just prefer its brighter tone and reflectiveness to match a million bones quality I use rustic clothing it enhances the texture of the fabric leather and metal used in clothing resulting in a more realistic and detailed appearance rustic clothing actually reduces the amount of dirt and grunge found on the clothes resulting in a cleaner look while still maintaining the authenticity of the original designs to further improve upon the weapons we have after folks artifacts replacing many of the Bland and generic looking artifacts with new and unique models it replaces unique items such as the Long Hammer age of Spain and the poacher's ax as well as many others the new models have been designed with great care and attention to detail which makes the weapons feel like truly unique ones now until the first of our gameplay enhancing words we'll start off by improving the game's melee combat with Precision Precision aims to improve the melee combat experience in Skyrim adding a number of features one of the key features is physically accurate and true collisions for melee weapons which means that your experience realistic hit detection while engaging in combat the mode also introduces procedural and physics-based hit reactions which just boosts the immersion of combat in addition Precision adds a variety of little immersive details to your melee combat such as hit stop and Camera shape to give you more feedback on your hits recoils when hitting certain materials and weapon trails that even change depending on your weapons and Troutman these features work together to create more realistic and engaging combat experience which makes Precision one of my favorite releases of last year to improve upon the vanilla magic I use mysticism by Simon Magnus this mod introduces hundreds of bug fixes and balance adjustments to vanilla spells as well as adding spells that can be found in the previous Elder Scrolls titles like open lock and burden which slows down enemies mysticism also provides quality of life improvements such as being able to cast Master Spells with one hand all in all mysticism adds almost 200 new spells to scones vendors and LU and in my opinion is the definitive magic overhaul for Skyrim to rebalance our perks I use adamant which mysticism was actually designed around prioritizes smooth progressions of Perko ball and despite to adding a few more perks to the game it doesn't overwhelm players with too much blow or power creep instead instead the selection of purse is carefully balanced around the vanilla perk games to maintain the game's balance one of the highlights of admin is his support for underdeveloped gameplay Stars such as new perks from pairing shouts staves and unarmed combat now for a little quality of life Improvement Compass navigation overhaul builds upon scrounge Compass system by providing additional information on the markers displayed on the compass such as the name of the marker and its distance from the player this feature just makes it easier to navigate in the game especially when searching for a specific location or Quest objective well that about covers the main mods I use for my load order we've gone over some of the best mods for enhancing the appearance and gameplay of Skyrim I hope you found this video informative remember to subscribe for more and endorse any mods you
