Which mods were the most interesting to you today? For me, it's hard to choose, but if I had to: Windstad, Argonians, and Berserkyr!

At this Point, Pulcharmsolis is just showing off 😅

Hey, Leptonaz here, WINDSTAD's author! Thank you so so much for featuring it! As someone who's been following your channel for a while, this is an honor ♥ As always, wonderful video overhaul, great editing and now I can say that you truly do justice to the mods you review. Also, having a potato in lieu of a computer, seing WINDSTAD come to life in such a beautiful graphics setup was truly magical. Thank you so much!

The liveliness you put on your videos has a healing effect 😅, sometimes I watch not even for the mods, but just for the good feeling I get after it ☺, so thank you!!! Windstead looks awesome and I get the feelind that JohnSkyrim gonna ending up making everything else SMIM doesn't cover.

Serana has so many looks but Marty's mod is my favorite by far We need a follower with your voice 😏

So happy you love the new release of Carriages of Skyrim. Me and JobiWan managed to make it as I 1st envisioned it when I made the original version. Thanks for the showcase inclusion :)

Imagine a mod where you can initiate a deadric ritual! It would be so immersing for a vampire or necromancer playthrough; create altars, sacrifices, effects, spells, or even animations with voice! I would love if this already exists, if not... steal this comment idea please!

Oh yeah! I'm glad you featured Magpie Manor, do you watch Fabrith Darkstars' videos? She exclusively focuses on Player Homes, both in Skyrim and Fallout 4, she covered this release a few days ago, and I was blown away both by the video and in-game. Perfect for an Imperial transplant from Cyrodil such as myself, everything I would want in or on the fringes of the great city! The location isn't very popular so it probably won't conflict with any other home mods. It's in a decent area, along a river, and just slightly off of the road, so passersby won't interrupt my studies or solace. The only drawback is the file size, I had to download it two times because it takes a while and during that time the file got corrupted/interrupted and wouldn't install. I might try the 'evil' looking Serana mod just to change it up a bit, been using Seranaholic (v6 I think) for a while, but then what do I do for Valerica? Decisions, decisions... Great video as usual!

Those Children of the Hist sampler designs look very cool

I've been waiting for Blood Not Included to see how it looks in-game, and I am not disappointed.

I completed Skyrim long ago... through my college years...recently I started playing again …and this time with lots of MODS...I think your channel is the reason for me to get back to it...for your beautiful presentation...so thank u very much...

Oh my god tysm for showing that 2nd Serana overhaul - I love how she doesn’t just look like a doll but she’s still pretty and fits that dead girl aesthetic. Might be my new favorite

Thanks for featuring Carriages of Skyrim 2.0. Had a lot of fun helping on that.

I love how so few of these mods have been covered by other youtubers. This channel has exactly the variety I've been looking for

For me it was January 2014, when my wife bought me the PS3 version of the beast for my birthday. I didn't know anything about Tamriel or the Elders Scrolls back then. I fell instantly in love with this new lore. Few months later, I heard about mods and I watched KZfaq videos on modding with ever growing envy. in December 2016, I finally decided to invest in a pc, so I could play Skyrim with a ton of mods. I bought every pc components I needed to built one in my living room, and I called it "The Skyrim machine". Nine years after my discovery of that famous jewel of a game, I still have the "skyrim machine". It's been upgraded since of course, but I still play Skyrim on it, Anniversary Edition though. I must say that the modding community and their mods nowadays are astonishingly amazing. Thanks to the community I really own my game, meaning I can make it any way I want it to be. To me, and I'm pretty sure, to a whole bunch of folks out there, Skyrim is and always will be unforgettable. Truly the best video game and the best community ever.

I really liked the curly Serana, it reminds me of Anna Valerious from the Van Helsing movie! M'lady, You know one thing that would be epic? Is if you start a playthrough (as a bard of course lol) where in your travels, you narrate your adventures or narrete your journal writings or something like that. Cheers!

Thanks for featuring Children of the Hist! Lovely work as usual :D

A nice video to watch at the end of day, Very well done as always.

I watch many mod reviews, but yours always make me smile.🙂 Great job on the video.

Always happy to see when you upload, more mods for my ever growing modlist!

JS Embalming Tools, that´s what I was looking for! now seriously, nice vid as always. also JS has some really cool mods, "Immersive Tripwires" is maybe my favorite.

Another set of mods to check out. While I cannot say for sure, I am leaning towards the BLOOD NOT INCLUDED Serana overhaul. And the mushroom mod looks really interesting. Thanks again for another quality set of mod options!

Trueblood Serana combined with Serana Dialogue Add-On is the definitive version of Serana.

0:10 🤣🤣 6:44 Makes me think of Yoshimitsu, from the Soul Calibur series. ... I just realized; you're heterochromatic (your irises are two different hues). That's cool. I definitely like the premise of Magpie Manor for the same reasons I liked Clockwork Castle (though Clockwork Castle doesn't cost anything).

Beautiful and well done showcase. Not much I can pick from here, though I love how you presented it. Some of you choices would cause compatibility issues on my load, but I do like Fairy Circle and Carriages. Thank you for your video showcase!

9:27 Sounds like the dude's propositioning.

I downloaded Magpie Manor around 2 weeks ago and I must say, visually it is probably the best player home mod I've ever seen. Although the style fits way more into the Witcher than into Skyrim, this house is such a beauty. The only thing that kept me from keeping it is that my FPS dropped heavy when being there and idk why. My PC handles a 700+ modlist but being there made my PC go brrrrr.

Thank you for making these!!

Yay finely tried out Cabbage ENB!

I really like the Blood Not Included Serana you've shown here! I've been using Anima Nera for Serana for a long time, but I might have to switch!

Some of these awesome mods I've already added to my LO, and seeing others in game here has convinced me to add a couple more. One major release that happened only a couple of days ago that would be a cool showcase is meridia's order, a large vigilant-esqu (maybe not quite that level though) questline mod.

I particularly love WINDSTAD mod and JK's Solitude Outskirt, in fact, any mod that modifies cities, towns and settlements are welcome in my load order. Nice video 👍

Wow 12 years of skyrim! I still remember being a 12 year old palying skyrim in my ps3! I never though I would be playin this game to this day... and all thanks to passionate mod and content creators like BCG!

hope that new students are welcome ! i just started a new skyrim playthru and having a cool BARD COLLEGE to attend to is awesome !

While the Windhelm bridge mod makes the bridge a bit more livelier, I wish the whole town would be bigger and feel more like one of the larger cities in skyrim... Maybe I'm just hoping it would be like in the ESO... It just feels so lively there, thought I can't say the same about ESO 😅

Awesome showcase as always, BCG. That player home is gonna be perfect for my Nord bard and his wife Zora. Awesome editing as always, too!

You know, this version of Serana at 10:50 is remarkably kinda scarry. She reminds me a lot of a curious thing. You guys know about the "sleeping paralisys demon" effect, that appears to be different according to country and culture, that people tend to see the same form deppending on region? In brazil the most commonly reported vision of this "demon" is the "Pisadeira" which is a tall pale woman with long cruly black hair and red eyes, appears to be sexy and beautiful but uppon close look is too scarry with distorted features, long nails and a cruel face, and she steps on the chest of the ones she haunts, hence her name that means somethign like "female steper" or "the woman who steps (on you)". I knwo it is silly but I had to tell it lol

Winstad town is a blessed mod. I always wanted to improve the holds by adding a couple of towns for each one (a country with most holds with only one town beside the capital always felt empty to me), but Hjaalmarch was the land that get least attention from the "new town" modders. Winstad town not only is very good looking and simple, but it seems to integrate well with the Hearthfire manor, and is located in a place not so close to other towns (both vanilla and added by mods), giving it some use as a rest/trade-point, and in a place where a town could be build, on the coast and near the road that lead to Dawnstar.

Nice video, once again! I've been using Necrotic, the newest spell pack by Darenii. Such a cool mod.

I really love the Mushroom swamp mod, especially the terrain and realistic trees that habit wetlands, very realistic 👍

I really like the 2nd Serana Mod, reminds me of the Vampires in the Movie "30 Days of Night". Also the new JK outskirts mod is just aweseome and the new Cabbage ENB looks like a worthy tryout to maybe replace Pi-Cho ENB with. And dont get me started on Magpie Manor, saw that one Febrith Darkstars channel and it just blew me away. Thx, nice video as always. 😊

glad you liked my mushroom grass mod!

the embalming tools were something id always noticed but nobody ever covered it yay

Another wonderful video, I really enjoy the quality that you bring, after your comment about the Skyrim characters rooting for Finland I got curious and discovered your about page on your channel says Finland on it, so I'm assuming you are Finnish, there's always nice to see people from Finland being a part of the Skyrim community, My grandfather was 100% Finnish but my family has lived in the US for generations, still thank you for your content

Another banger video, thanks!

Magpie Manor got me acting up like The Rock wanting -Miami Pie- 😂 I mean Skyrim's Apple Pie 🥧 for Survival Mode.

A lot of these are Really lovely! I especially like the Carriages and Winstad expanded - when I first started playing with Hearthfire I was a little disappointed at how little it actually added, so this definitely helps. The textures are also really easy on the eye. I've been following the creator doing the beast races (and it looks like they're going to be doing more mer than just the Orsimer!) since you showcased Project ja-Kha'jay and have never been disappointed by the skill and detail that goes into their work. One thing that I really wish was more utilized in player homes is an aspect that Legacy of the Dragonborn's safehouse has, where if you add food to specific containers the food appears somewhere nearby, like apples filling a bowl or a horker loaf appearing on a dinner plate. I had SUCH a kick out of that trying to figure out what all the foods were, and it was also a thing for other clutter - having a cabinet fill up with silver (or anything, really) as I added items just tickled something in my brain.

I love your videos. It's always a pleasure watching them. :)

Would never miss a new video from you!🤩

What truly enthralled me about this video was your voice and very slight accent

The Serena blood not included mod is my new crush

My favourite Serana mod is Seranacat, so fluffy!

Love to see an upload, if you don't my asking, what banners for solitude are those?

i've never seen a serana replacer i really liked before, they always either make her generically pretty or weeby or something else that just makes her lose something. blood not included though? i really like it. it gives her an edge that even the vanilla version lacked.

Also, JS's mods are absolutely unparalleled. The quality of his work is absolutely astonishing! Really hope he redoes the unique weapons

I really like the manor mod, as enjoyer of fine architecture it is very nice :)

I like how JK's dock makes it look more lived in.

Aye cool. A berserker mod. Kinda like the one in Elex I assume? Cool that this had found it's way.

I am absolutely going to download magpie manner as well as tales of Skyrim plus I love the outskirts mods that JK has been making lately I hope that they do a dawnstar outskirts next

As always, BCG's videos are basically a mod shopping list. This time around its easy as I've already downloaded most of em... (plus I've finally followed through on my threat of starting a Shattered playthrough after her last video)

Amazing upload like always 👍. Mods that I like *carriages of Skyrim* because it increases immersion. And player home look so cozy and good 🥰. About serana I use *Anina nera - serke the tyt’s serana Overhaul* it good replacer

Good evening Bard!! It feels good to be back and I set to work on bingeing your past videos I missed. Cabbage ENB looks amazing but I gotta say I am curious to see how it'd run on my little PC. I built it over 10 years ago now for £600 (684 Euro) and so far the only thing I've had to upgrade is the memory with a new 1TB SSD. It still runs new AAA titles almost flawlessly with all the original parts but seeing your specs there made me do a double take. If a PC like yours is having trouble running ENBs then I kinda wanna see how well mine can run ENBs The Berserkyr mod seems like it'd be a good Companions Quest Patch seeing how shallow it was. I'm always on the lookout for mods that improve the Companions and College quests in good ways as usually it's just... eh... Definitely some good potential for this mod though JK's Solitude Outskirts looks amazing!! I have to admit you've changed me into a JK Fangirl and I'm not even a girl. Hannah would be mortified if I turned out to just suddenly be one though. Children of the hist is an interesting take seeing as I am a fan of Shavee and Scouts Dynamic Torch Idles would be great for immersion investment. Be a good addition for those Fairy Crop Circles and the Windstad mods. It'd be nice to have some company up there as I usually buy the land, build on it and never return ever again Wayrest Sellsword Set seems so interesting. Also don't think I didn't notice what you did with the music there. Great use of it, well done The Parralax mod seems cool. Sometimes it's nice to have a touch up of forgotten buildings that are different structures to the cities. But it'd be good to patch some of those holes finally. Honestly I'm not sure how the people of Skyrim ever stay warm The Mushroom grass seems cool. Certainly an interesting take and it'd be a good way to make Mushroom foraging harder. It reminds me of a Parasitic Mushroom I studied. Interesting topic really I personally use the Serana Re-Imagined SE mod by Froztee. There is even one for Valerica there also. It's a nice mesh of Lore friendly and beauty Without the usual tastelessness of at least 75% of the Skyrim mods being Skimpy. Also I personally hated the glowing sun eyes they gave Vampires so I also got a mod that reverts them to the Blood red they used to be. So much better. Argonians and Khajiit also got a unique variant of eyes for vampirism which vanished also with the addition of the awful Sun Eyes Magpie Manor actually seems really grand and pretty!! It's rare I take a shining to custom made Player Homes but this one looks amazing. A little too focused on cramming everything in perhaps but it'd look super nice to retire in and start my shop there. But for now I'm still content with my Falkreath house. Something about the Lake view and the trees and the small stone hill next to it Another great video as always Bard!! Can't wait for next weeks video already!! Hope you have a lovely week!!

You just had to- HAD TO- find some god damned torch mod, didn't you? Not to mention the mushroom circle... This torment shall never end.

JS is not going to stop until every single model in this game has been remade in his image.

The wayrest set looks so weird I love it so much. The author is the same person who made the Colovian Prince set, which is my go to armor and I can't imagine my imperial dragonborn without it. I've downloaded tons of different armor pack and I just keep going back to using it! End up giving all those other armors to my party members instead 🤭

Nice video! I love these kinds of cozy homes, back in the days I loved Valkyrja Estate, it perfectly suited my needs, but this mod's not available anymore... I recently searched for equivalent homes, but unfortunately most of them are too smalll or don't have high resolution textures, so the details are always a bit "blurry". Last one I tried was "Maple Manor SSE", love the half-timbering style (makes me think of my country :p ), but maybe too much things inside, kinda lacks of space, and there's no racks for armors/weapons/special items. Do you know other cosy homes/estates in high resolution (like 4k maybe)? Thank you and keep it up

sipping tea watching this video thought id let u know

Goodness, Magpie Manor looks outstanding. I wish console players had the space to be able to have it ported over. I can't wait to get my PC so I can have access to these amazing mods. Great video as always.

"Welcome to Jackass.. ER WAIT!!" XD I just about fell out of my chair laughing! I hadnt watched that show in years btw. SUBBED!

jk's skyrim mods are honestly the best thing to happen to skyrim imo over the past couple years.

Magpie manor is a beautiful player home and im someone who never downloads new location home mods. It has a very cyrodil/highrock look and pretty much every square inch of the mod is custom assests. It is a pretty big download though.

So many great Serana replacers they all look great. But I personally stick to Seranaholic. I'm so used to her look that switching over wouldn't feel right for me.

U should do one on full mod packs too

I wish I could have a hybrid of Clockwork and Magpie Manor the aesthetics compliment each other. Right now I downloaded a mod that gives me a bunch of paintings and I am redecorating Clockwork Castle with Jaxonz's Repositioner.

You said more about those embalming tools than we did. All we said was, "Well, okay." And after seeing Magpie Manor, I have to try it out.

Fairy circles just remind me about Runescape 🤔 maybe you could add teleport to them in skyrim too...

I do really like Trueblood Serana and that would be the mod that tickles my fancy the most I suppose.

Beautiful!! May I ask what water option do you use for water for enb? thank you

Great work as usual! :D but, please, stop feeding my future mod list 😩... really, I love how your game looks. It's like the game maintains its "essence", idk how to explain it xD. Anyway, waifu Serana is the best Serana (Trueblood Serana) 😳.

Jk's Solitude Outskirts is a very welcome mod in my opinion. The capital of Skyrim should have a big trading hub outside to add to the Imperial Trading Company, no?

i personally use Serana RE-Imagined, i just like the eye makeup and the hair of that mod, i might change it to Trueblood sometime at least to try it out

I'm not sure if you have done a video like this before, but would you please do a player homes video, but your personal favourites and ones you thing are cosy or realistic etc? I find many houses are just really big or not cosy. Also can I ask what the main armour set is you use?

I just decided to only go for Community Shaders but wow Cabbage is something...

Nothing beats vanilla Serana for me

JS embalming tools is a game changer imo. Finally!

Idk why but your cabbage setup finally sells me on it, and i will shift away from Silent Horizons 2 Univ. Core. Would love to know your flora setup, it looks stunning!

I wonder if there can be a video showcasing the mod Dragon Infused Daedric Armor?

I can't be the only person who loves the swamps of Morthal right? Right???

I literally grabbed myself some mead while watching this Video.

I think trueblood serana is very cute!

All the mods work the only one I'm giving trouble to understand is the Rudy enb. My game still looks normal:(

Not sure if I have missed this in any of your videos but is there any that talks about creating your Dragonborn? Right now that is the main thing I'm looking for in my play through. 😅

obviously the best Serana mod is Serana Cat, or S'rana, as I call her

I am getting trouble with the animation and item equip mods ...if u made a video about it on its load order ...and which mods r essential for that i will be grateful..

Bard's college? To the oblivion with you! You foul creature. Hail King Oaf!

Cabbage and mushrooms? If I combine that with my "potato" then I'll have almost a complete meal. My PC will definitely be warm enough ... 😂 I'm sorry, but it had to be. Why do you even call an ENB cabbage? I've always been a fan of good house mods, but Magpie is the best for me. I just love it! The house has everything I would like to have in the RL. I would hire an architect immediately and have the house built exactly like that if I had the money.

I’m struggling to find some good mountain textures on Xbox but yours look amazing 😭 which textures do you use?

Have you ever thought about making a playthrough with some of the mods you show?😊

I can't find the right Serana mod for me. The one that comes the closest is Fangs and Eyes Serana but I don't like the hair and I wish there was a mod that would just let you change NPC hair in game so I could get it perfect! I really need to try making mods myself lol.

My favorite thing about Skyrim is that 11/11 is my birthday and i can pretend everyone is wishing me a happy birthday instead of skyrim heh. I cant believe it didnt show me the video early smh 2:49 VALE VALTTERI
