In this video, we’re going over some Skyrim mods that improve the quality of life of Skyrim. I’ve used all these mods extensively and couldn’t recommend them enough (minus Assorted Animation Fixes as it just came out but in the short time I’ve used it, it definitely seemed worthy of featuring in this video).

still undecided on what thumbnail style i should use. any thoughts? preferences? www.youtube.com/@redshift1/videos

@Jofus002 Жыл бұрын

Looking through the lot, I definitely prefer this style to some of your older ones. The text as a part of the scene gives it a nice edge. And the single picture, instead of three overlapping ones, makes it nicer to look at.

@connor7924 Жыл бұрын

I feel as though the three overlapping image style could work better for equipment showcases rather than gameplay or QoL. Sort of like a display window at a clothing store where there is good chance at least one item will draw the interest of people scrolling through.

@redshift1 Жыл бұрын

@@connor7924 Very true i like both your ideas a lot

@yohef4537 Жыл бұрын

I think what you’re doing works well. Mostly you’ve got a single character in thumbnail when it’s about the dragonborn. Then multiple people when it’s about a group, or the wider world. Doing gangbusters man, I wouldn’t change a thing if I were you.

@itcouldbelupus2842 Жыл бұрын

The latest thumbnail, with 'Skyrim Mods' in the lower left corner, is really good. People generally like to click on faces, so having thumbnails with the character facing the screen rather than looking away will probably do better.

One quick note about Immersive Equipment Displays. During my gameplay with it I've noticed quite a lot of script lag coming along with it, especially on a heavily modded walkthrough. The framework tracks every NPCs equipment in the game and loads it upon the players arrival. Depending on your mod list, this mod can make the game unplayable in the long term so in return i suggest highly people use Visible Favoured Gear as an alternative. I've been using it ever since LE and it utilizes the same framework with the exception that it works only for the player.

I found one of your videos a few days ago and really enjoyed it. And because of the KZfaq algorithm, your other videos now show up in my video lists. . . . . and I sure am glad that they do! And to make sure that they do, I've just subscribed. So, what do I like about your videos? Well, even though I've been modding Skyrim for a few years now, you have introduced me to quite a few mods that I either didn't know about or have just plain overlooked. Also, your explanations of how to use the mods are very clear. I have been using Immersive Equipment Display for some time now, and didn't pick up on the different ways to change what is displayed until watching your explanation. Your video work is excellent, and you are gifted with an ability to give very clear explanations of these mods. Also, you don't rush your voice, but use a very good pacing for speaking. And last, this one may sound odd, but I like the way your game looks in your videos. No weird and unnatural looking characters, good lighting, and natural looking graphics. Thank you for the work you put into these videos. And I hope you will continue to enjoy doing them for some time, so that I can continue to enjoy watching them!

Quality of life mods are rare on the playstation version of Skyrim. And if they do work they are no where near what the original mod is. For example the lantern mod. On the PC and Xbox version the lantern can be seen at the waist of the player and you can also see the light source from the lantern when you are using it. But when you are playing the playstation version. Sony is so lame that you can't use custom scripts and that means you can't even see the lantern and the area around you lights up like you're holding a torch. Not very immersive. I'm REALLY hoping this new update they are working on which can allow modders to charge some money for their mods will alter the landscape of kind of mods you can use on the playstation. I wouldn't be surprised though that it doesn't change anything. But if Sony continues to be an a-hole about this I will go back to Xbox for the next gen.
