welcome back to Skyrim modding coverage this time around in the interest of saving your time we're going to be checking out some of the best mods that you can add in 20124 and spend about 30 seconds per mod out of 25 total from incredible in-game weather andb overhauls settlement expansions with unique assets visual improvements for smaller Villages clutter and indoor redecorations as well as overhauling combat with systems that brings it closer to Modern RPGs with improved animations and behaviors let's dive inin many mods overhaul different areas in the game but one author stands out as one of my favorites as their implementation is always unique and very creative JK's rifton outskirts is one more addition to City outskirt overhauls recently introduced to the community it firstly adds a dirt road that connects the southern path leading to Day Spring Cannon to the northern Rift and gate then it adds carefully Place clutter with utilities while not overdoing it in a process and with the help of the patching Council ensures that Rift and outskirt supports your favorite mods that edits this entire area it also paves the road to merryfair farm and lightly overhauls it bringing more life to it in a process and since we are at the rift let's add Rift leaves easily one of my favorite minor visual Improvement mods in 2024 the mod simply adds fallen leaves on water surfaces around rifton city now you might say this is insignificant but it's one of those details that adds to the full picture combined with water Reflections Parx meshes Dynamic Cube maps and supported by an incredible enem preset create some gorgeous visuals the best part is that these leaves are not just plastered on top of the surface but rather flow with the water itself and drastically improve the rift and Canal next in our line of settlement overhauls we got red bags Half Moon Mill I'm not sure how this mod went under my radar but since I discovered it it found its permanent place in my mod list this light overhaul changes this area by adding new assets for a water mill a homestead and a little path connecting the two and once again patching Council ensures that you can use this mod alongside popular Creations like Northern roads Lux via and many others now if you're wondering where these amazing assets come from and whether you can use them for other smaller Villages you'd be happy to hear that they're created by the author that made underrated redbacks FAL this mod overhauls FAL cre as you know it by introducing custommade assets and using them to completely redesign its layout turning a minor settlement into a mediumsized hamlet it adds two new residential houses for NPCs walls up the entire village with two guard towers and Gates and creates a separate area where y of the hold can be found alongside has blacksmith and guard Barracks supported by an additional Watchtower a state church has been added to the graveyard area and lastly the mod adds an entire arena in which you can fight in which we simply have to use to Showcase some of my favorite combat animations in 2024 we'll start with Dragon's Dogma great Zone animations these animations are for MCO they feel heavy but impactful and come with your standard normal and power attacks their implementation however goes beyond simple normal attacks and power attacks as it allows for the player to utilize additional move sets by unlocking certain two-handed skill tree perks which adds a minor progression path to your two-handed [Applause] playthrough next Dynamic Dodge animation this mod completely reanimates a Dodge mod of your choice and introduces two Dodge types depending on your condition what this means is that the mod comes with standard step Dodges that are inspired by pre-release Elden ring and are utilized during regular movement however if you decide to interrupt your attack with a Dodge the mod will force the character to perform a Dodge roll instead introducing additional layer to your combat experience another move set of my choice for 2024 is Elder Creed Blade this animation pack is for one-handed swords and is a project that aims to recreate animations from Assassin Creed and includes five normal and three power attacks they have been created to primarily work with one-handed swords and also adjusted if you have a shield equipped they are made to be player exclusive and are patched to work with Precision out of the box [Music] and for the firstperson perspective fans out there new Contender has been released modern firstperson animations this pack aims to do the same as Size Matters and cfpo but more vanilla friendly animations are also weapon specific are more toned down and are a perfect choice for those looking for weapon variety while retaining the vanilla field the mod covers one-handed weapons two-handed weapons animates do wielding for swords and daggers and my favorite of them all it adds a really cool and unique crossbow [Music] animations 2024 came without a shortage of some amazing magic spell editions and we'll start with dark hofan magic I fear the dead have become Restless these ghost light theme spells are a set of very powerful and non-elemental spells that can bypass magic absorption summon one-handed ghost light blade a powerful oneand weapon that will take advantage of your currently installed move set dual cast it to summon a two-handed blade and decimate your enemies with your attacks while ignoring their magic resistance or perhaps utilize Penance projectiles and quickly fire Blades of searing light that deal damage to health stamina and Magicka the spell pack also comes with different auras Fanning and shielding each protecting the Caster in unique ways one of my favorite spells is inhibition spells that restrain nearby hostiles while also doing damage over time to all of their resources the spell pack allows the player to discharge a massive beam of volatile light that lasts for 3 seconds and pretty much obliterates all in its path combining multiple spells can create some cool synergies as both utility and direct damage exists and all supported by great visuals and effect holy Templar is another spell pack by the same author but this time with a focus on offensive restoration spells cast San recircle to stagger everything in your vicinity and utilize Wrath of the Heavens to call down bolt of sunlight to decimate your foes Fire Sun shards at your enemies consecrate dead to restore Vitality summon a sun shield and combine it with ghost light sword for some really cool Spell blade [Music] gameplay as far as non-combat animations we have gotten one of the coolest releas is recently Dynamic looting and harvesting animations and its implementation is what makes it special every time you perform Gathering action the player character will physically pick up harvestable items besides very Nic looking animations one of the best parts about the mod is that the items picked up will use meshes and textures that you the user have installed on your mod list the mod achieves this by utilizing open animation replacer that we covered in a previous video and works pretty much for all harvestable items from farming crops to regular Plants around sky and different animations will play based on harvested plant or ingredients removed making it one of the top tier immersion mods of 2024 so far speaking of immersion we got take a nap mod an addition by the author that creates mods that has you questioning whether it's a joke or an actual immersion entry this mod simply allows the player to well take a nap on chairs benches and different bar stools and of course waking up from the said nap will cause you to have a back pain debuff that is cleverly supported by stretching animations the mod utilizes Dynamic activation key which allows you to cycle between two actions for a single object helping you to quickly perform the command however if you're looking to sleep in places where you will not find yourself with sadly relatable back pain problems we might as well do that in style and on unique and comfy looking beds igoy beds is a mod that adds a model replacer for Noble and upper class beds with mostly 2K textures a medium to high poly count and also utilizing base object swapper to distribute them accordingly as mentioned only upper class locations will be covered and the mod offers replacer models for single and double beds by providing only mesh replacers and saving you the plug-in slot in a process Additionally the mod utilizes bace object swapper to distribute different sheet colors throughout upper class and also provides a really fancy looking bed for yars of Skyrim these beds can also be distributed alongside BOS version of snazzy furniture and clutter overhaul a mod that adds custom paintings with over 200 styles of wall Arts children's toys such as toy blocks and rocking horses and custom Noble chairs for nobility the mod also distributes different Alchemy and enchanting tables depending on their location such as unique models for dmer ruins and vampire dens my favorite combat Edition that I discovered in 2024 easily goes to maxu blocking this mod is fully behavioral and uses Nemesis engine to add varied impact animation when blocking an incoming hit as you can see in the footage every blow comes with a very noticeable impact and each successful block will cause the actor to recoil or even heavily withdraw depending on how forceful the attack was and how much stamina the actor has left at their disposal with the support of dynamic block hit mod all recall animations will be different depending on a weapon group this means that your character will Flinch and recoil one way when being struck by swords and the other with a Warhammer additionally the mod separates block hit animations for normal and power attacks separately and due to the way it's implemented it's fully compatible with Valhalla combat these two together drastically modernize third person experience and for me personally strikes a decent balance between realism and fantasy combat without a doubt the title for the best &b preset in 2024 so far goes to picked a realis this particular preset is 4 years in the making and it offers HDR and hybrid linear lighting for a more realistic and robust image ambient lighting is primarily made up of image-based lighting and skylighting which ensures the lighting itself is as accurate as it gets and with the help of kitsun asnb extender offers enhanced per weather editing the author approached the overhaul from two fronts one being a complete redesign of Skyrim's weathers by introducing 77 customade versions never before seen in the original game the other is applying INB effects that are carefully adjusted for believable visuals supported by silent Horizon Shader core and enhanced by volumetric lighting and Sun Shadows the result is a decent balance between realism and fantasy with a color balance favoring colder Hues and with a bold usage of volumetric fog this weather and ENB combo creates visuals that I would simply describe as [Music] mystical a quick question for you guys do you enjoy this rapid fire mod showcase format the downside is I can't be too descriptive when showcasing a mod but on the other hand it allows me to give a spotlight to a lot of them and provide you with as much info as possible in a very short time frame comment down below other than that socials are in the description patreon Twitter but I'll cut the rambling for now thank you for watching and I will see you in the next video take care [Music]
