Which one of these new mods did you like the most? I'm actually shocked how much I ended up enjoying my time with Val, as well as Animated Ships is just amazing (even though I thought I couldn't really care about ships). 😅 But Rainbows, Fantasia, and Dynamic Campsites are definitely up there as well!

Creator of Val here - thank you so much for including him in your video, and I'm glad you enjoyed him!

I hate it when people say I NEED these Skyrim mods and then half of them turn out to be just textures. So glad you actually highlight useful and interesting mods.

Finally REAL Ships!

The ships for me was a must!!! This was well overdue and I love how much more immersion/life it gives to my playthrough!

What a great showcase! Just when I think I don't need any more follower mods, you show me Val Serano! I'm going to have to give him a try. I didn't know Dynamic Campsites was available in such variety, either. Thanks for showing what they look like in game! Cheers!

The ships, the ladders and the hair smp is top tier

Awesome selection. The Stybille one in particular is intriguing. She has such a cool and mysterious lore about her. It always surprised me why it wasn't expanded on more.

Always happy to see my mods make it into your videos. Though i'm now running out of Immersion ideas that start with a W :( I've now done Watertowers, Wheelbarrows and Woodsheds. Might be time for a new letter to work through lol.

Wow, the opening shots of the video were amazing! Great camera work there. Thanks for another showcase, as always I now have more mods I need to install lol.

Fantastic! Loved all the mods but especially the animated ships, the Sybille Stentor expansion (hope the author does more .) and the fantasy landscapes. Thank you!

Like always.... very good choise. I even found something new for me. This pirate follower is mod that i wanted to install but i though that it was just a follower, but now i know. xD Well done!

Great video! like all of them, I've recently found these videos right before starting my first full playthrough of vanilla skyrim (ironically) and excited to do a modded playthrough after this playthrough! Thanks for the vids! Out of curiosity have you ever thought of doing a bard themed let's play or anything? I understand if it doesn't interst you to do that, I just know if you did something like that I would totally tune in every time!

Can't believe i talked you in to this years ago. Keep up the good work!

Hi lovely! I have just found your channel and I have to say that your videos hooked me immediately. Your videos, very clearly comparing different types of graphic overhauls were so easy to understand and just what I was looking for. I was just wondering where you're from. I feel like I hear nordic or scandinavian in your accent. Sorry if I'm wrong 😊

You finally tried Fantasia! Yeah figured you'd like it. It goes well with the rest of the Skyland textures. SMP Hairstyles is excellent too and I know it'll become a staple on most modlists. And the Prayer Animations, it would be great if praying to Talos in front of a Thalmor would aggro them immediately lol. Maybe an idea and incentive to finally learn to make mods... 12:40 Funny Wow is brought up in this video. During the Animated Ships section, when the ship was going under the Blue Palace, the Howling Fjord's theme started playing in my head. Good times.

Your videos are so well done and informative! Thank you so much, and, it’s always a pleasure to meet a fellow bard!

BCG, I came for the mod information and stayed for the energy. You've got a great presentation manner, I simultaneously feel like I'm hanging out with a friend AND being sold an automobile when I listen to your video. That's praise. You know what you're doing.

Another wonderful video, BCG! I want to try the Fantasia Landscapes, but need to wait until my current play through is complete.

I have the Campsite mod, it's a fun bit of uh-mershun reminiscent of BG3's rest system. You've got a great selection on display here, gonna have to bloat my install some more... Val and the ships look really cool, and Bard looks snazzy with all those new hairs!

The hair mod is pretty cool. I could see you using it to surprise us with some new hairstyles for the Bard's College Graduate!

hey awesome video and thanks for the showcase on the video, appreciate it!

My "feel good" youtube channel. Keep up the good work!

this time most of the mods i already have or already knew hehe, but still nice to see so many mods, so many new exciting follower on Val, Sa'chil, Flint and many others(when is the bards graduate follower gonna come?), that animated ships one is so nice it creates a true port feeling.

Amazing collections! Love to see good unpopular mods, and even more can't have enough of your amazing voice. Great job!

Hi Bard!! Good to see you in another video again. It's a good collection of them in one neat package. I've seen a few of these while mod browsing like the SMP Hairstyles, Val the Pirate and Moving ships. It's good to see that last one in action as I wondered if you were going to post about it but I didn't want to try it because I have JK's Solitude Outskirts like you The SMP Hairstyle one looks like a good investment. I'm glad I decided to hold off on these before you covered them here. I've been wondering about Redguard hair styles seeing as my new character is a Redguard and I've always noticed how different it always is and honestly doesn't look that good. I am worried about the lack of braids but that's not exactly a worry with Redguards I am surprised to see a Sybille mod here. I spent countless hours when I realised she was a vampire trying to uncover her or get her to fess up. Good to see someone else had the same idea. I wouldn't turn her in or get her killed, after all she has been beneficial to Solitude without enthralling everyone in court That Prayer mod would be great with Wintersun where you have to pray to a chosen deity. I choose Mara a lot after all is said and done and I can devote more of my time to my Wife, children and business out of my Falkreath House I was skeptical about the Val Serrano Pirate mod. But the idea of having my own ship to sail on might have brought me around to it. We've officially traced my family tree back to a Pirate at the end of the Golden Age of Piracy. We found out he was the one who started the family alcohol recipe book with Rum. Imagine my surprise when we found out he was a criminal but I have to say it certainly fits with the family theme these past 300 years. Since I do swordfighting myself and have a very flashy, pirate like style myself, I am highly interested in Pirates and the Pirate Age. Even wrote my own Pirate chapter for fun and built up an entire personal economy dedicated to fighting back against corruption to live freely which was what inspired the Pirate Age to begin with. The only thing I'm missing in my pirate collection (Long hair, outfit, dual swords, Crossbow Gauntlet, Fabric based armour, etc) is a decent Pirate game. So far the best I've ever played is Assassin's Creed Black Flag and that's not even primarily a Pirate Game. The shame of having the entire genre beaten by a game not even in it. Talk about disgraceful. This is where Val comes in. Take a look. Smartly dressed, educated, dashing, a rogue, can fight, silver tongue, grey area moral compass, intelligence, foresight and wit. Guys a model pirate if I've ever seen one. certainly beats these beer guzzling milk drinkers we see these days in all the other games and honestly, I do like the guy. My problem is the same as the dawnguard DLC, I don't like playing with followers. It's a shame I can't start up my own Pirate confederacy in Skyrim or start raids or enter ship battling but sailing my own ship around the sea of ghosts and the rivers would be a nice change of pace other than running a 3,000 day marathon around SKyrim and all it's dungeons. Anyway, Piracy rant over The Campsite mod is something to be sure. If they brought back the idea of levelling up only when you sleep then it adds all the more reason to use a campsight and rent rooms in inns instead of wasting my gold on something relatively pointless That texture pack, fantasia and the shrubbery mod, it works quite well. Looks like a nice little pack that adds some magic back into Skyrim. Lately I fear everything revolves around realistic types which is a shame and while it is nice to have some realism, it is a Fantasy game. So this is a great texture pack. The shrubs also would work but sadly I'll have to skip if it's high count and performance Rainbows over waterfalls is an amazing idea. Rainbows are made from refracted light through the wet air. This is why you see them after rain where moisture is in the air. Over here we see double rainbows all the time due to the natural rich moisture in the air constantly. So this mod is a great representation of fantasy and realism nicely blended into one. A simple masterclass really The watertowers is a great idea. If they're placed properly then all the better. Villages like Riverwood don't really need one being built on a river flowing from a clean lake around mountains. Boil it a bit and you can use that mineral rich water for everything safely. But other villages like Karthwasten aren't so lucky, never mind the cities like Riften or Windhelm. City water is known to be dirty as hell and villages where there are no natural water sources must struggle greatly with deadly deadra cults in the hills. A great mod A lot of good mods here, a lot of good mods to choose from. I enjoyed this video and I can't wait to see you next time, Bard. See you later and have a great week

Can't wait to get my fixed PC back tomorrow and I'm back to Skyrim again.Good work Bard's College Graduate ❤❤

I do love the animated ships mod as well as the landscapes! They are fun and lovey to look at, indeed! Also your voice is wonderful to listen to as always. Thank you for the wonderful mod review!

Unmasking Sybille and Dynamic Campsite are the ones I love most. Nice video 👍

Skyrim mods prove it’s not the engine that’s holding back Bethesda

Great video. Definitely going to get Fantasia and the Shrubs.

Great video, keep up the good work!

So many great recs! thank you!!

Ayo amazing review of mods as usual! Can we know what appearance mod that Sybille has? thanks!

Lovely mods!!! I’ve been experiencing a bit of a burnout from Skyrim but I always love to catchup on new content that comes out, modders never cease to surprise us!

Amazing video, as always Miss Bard's College Graduate! Thanks to you, my load order keeps getting heavier and heavier lol I have a question though! Which mod are you using for your lute model? It looks so good, and how did you made to be displayed at your character's back?

Such high-quality showcase of mods!

OMG! Animated ships !! This and animated carts will make my next mod setup extra awesome.

Great Video! I was wondering if having the NPCs in the Blue Palace wear the apachii divine clothing is a mod or is it something you did personally?

using these for my new Skyrim Together playthru, thanks

Again amazing selection of mods. Feels like the animated ships should have been in vanilla all along

3:50 *has sword unsheathed* "Vampire! To Arms!" *sheaths sword* *unsheats sword again*

Great list thanks

There is an old mod for skyrim but it works in sse you just need to manually install it.”Hakai mod” lets you use the hakai power from dragon ball super. It kills n mostly erases the body of any….ANY npc. Essential, immortal, regular, child npcs anyone. It’s not exactly lore friendly but it’s sooo satisfying to use on Delphine after the main quest is done and she asks you to kill bestest dragon buddy. Also thieves guild, really any npc you don’t like. It can obviously break quests but if you don’t care for the particular quest line, it’s not like you’d miss out in that case as you wouldn’t do it anyway. It’s great fun to use on any essential npc you don’t need and don’t like. Just be careful with aim, it works on mod followers to.

The walking broom at the blue palace is hilarious! Where is that mod from!?😹

just installed a couple new mods b/c of you :-) what npc replacer are you using, they look great!

The animated ships are so cool but I know the solitude ones killing my pc 💀

Can I get the names of the tree mods you use please? I love the giant pines outside solitude and the maple looking trees and the ones in your whiterun. I also love how your skyrim looks, it's so colourful. I love going for more high fantasy looks. Also great video!!

What mods add those outfits to the solitude court elisif's outfit suited her so well Also love the fact your put whether it is esp or esl my 3000 mod list thanks you lol

That Val Serrano mod sounds pretty awesome... but I wonder how he'd interact with Inigo. :)

Love these video's thank you! pity i have to roll back Bethesda's most recent patch since it totally broke TKDodge xD

Your voice is so soothing, great videos.

Your videos are asmr for some reason keep up the good work

Man I am such a sucker for hair mods with physics. I recently found one in the same style that I love for my character and I'm still having fun just having her run around with bouncy hair. Those unique prayer animations are super cool, too! Animation modders are the real MVPs with the kind of stuff they come up with. I finally started using OAR after worrying about it maybe conflicting with my using DAR, and I'm still getting used to how much life it adds to the characters. (Honestly surprised a Sybille-focused quest mod hadn't been added sooner. Kind of impressed that they use spliced vanilla dialogue instead of AI voices, but good for them.)

Might i suggest a mod for you to cover by the name of True Thane SE i fell in love with it and it has a permeant place on my modlist

SHIPS YES PLEASE FINALLY. Now I wish to see my Dragonborn pirate captain fending off Imperial navy.

Val Serano looks awesome! reminds me of vilja which is my favorite mod ever ^^

hi! i don't know if you take mod recommendations from the comments but maybe check out *Bjorn - Fully Voiced Follower* out on the Nexus. He gets updated regularly with new lines (currently got 2200), his own quest and he is also romanceable but because of the way he gets updated slowly over time he never got featured as a hot mod or anything. I think with version 1.30 that came out now in february 24 he is very much worth being more popular

Finally, a unisex hair physics mod I can use on my boys. I been lookin for a long time for this 😅 Also have had my eye on Val for a while now, definitely going to check him out since he has the BCG seal of approval 😊 wonderful video as usual!

Love this channel!

Hi! I love your vids! Where's your Elisif from? She looks terrific!

Hi! What's the Elisif replacer you're using? She looked gorgeous

Finally KZfaq has regained its senses and showing me your videos!

I’m running about 50 mods and I’m starting to think it looks bad because I’m getting used it. That was until I watched a video of unmodded Skyrim.

Question: regarding Val Serano, does he have any interactions with Lucien/Inigo/Kaidan?

lol your Nazeem is insane too fabulous 😅

Does the ladder mod remove the fade to black when climbing ladders within cities so it's just a seamless transition? Like the ladders that take you to the rooftops in the rifen mods

Oh, the ships! Thank you for reommending!

Those animated ships are crazy!

I get the feeling im stuck in an alternate reality, I swear I remember that Ladder Climbing mod is a part of Sky Climb instead of being its own mod...

Love the animated ships!

Dynamic Campsites is interesting, but weird for Skyrim, imo. Campfire is much more immersive than teleporting to a completely different location, imo, lol 😅. I'd much rather just pull out a tent and build a fire right there in the actual cell, lol 😅. The campsite cells work great in Baldur's Gate, but I'll be sticking with Campfire for Skyrim 😉. Again, it's an interesting idea, though, just not for me 😉.

Hi there, @8:14 what is that Nazeem replacer? I need that!!

i killed serana with loot spillage mod. she dropped my broken heart 💔

We, peasants in ps4, need some of those! You could do a video just for mods in ps4!

What mod is that where Sybille Stentor is using a different outift?

man i would absolutely love a wabbajack from you

I wish a lot of these mods had been around years ago & before I had played the game through 50 times already.

What character model mod do you use?

What’s the hair mod you usually use? I’ve always been curious

I'm laughing at how my male character looks with Modular SMP styles (with bangs) 😆 There aren't many male hairs with smp that actually fit my taste and the fact that he actually looks quite good despite most of it being made for female characters

I'm curios to know what skin and face mods you use, because they look better then vanilla

Modding skyrim is soo hard, I always mess something up, do you think you could show people your mod list please ? 🙏

Now if only there were a hair smp mod to let me have hair all the way down to knee height. I wanna be striga from castlevania

I wonder if Val is respondable to Serena dialogue add-on?

What mode you use for the clothes of solitude's court?

What's that ship in the background at 5:33 ?

I'm trying to get my skyrim to work but I can't I even reverted it back to the version before the creations update but I can't

I'm in love with your voice

what mod do you have that makes elisif look like that?

I wanted to see an animated ships mod for ages. It should really improve realism.

modular smp is something I've been wanting for a very long time, I've been stuck with the vanilla hair remake smp mod; it's good but it's not what I want. Now I can finally do away with the extremely out of place ks hairdos.

Does anyone know what mod(s) those are to change Sybille's and Elisif's appearances?

What clothing mod was sybille wearing?

What mods do you have to make the queen this beautiful!? And that suit ! 😍

What mod are you using that replaces Elisif?

What mod are you using for elisif outfit ??

3:09 Yo what is bro doing???

what mod are those regal clothings from

Are you using a fort overhaul?
