For anyone having trouble with getting northern roads to work I highly recommend you to try simplest roads. Its a new mod from this year and it will come very close to the northern roads visuals in many areas but is ten times easier to implement even with a large load order since it does not change any meshes or world spaces and basically just applies your dirt texture to the road.
@TheSixoul Ай бұрын
That actually sounds solid. I like Northern Roads add on that removes the ground edits but keeps bridges and nick knacks that were added that don't edit the terrain.
@Sanguivore 22 күн бұрын
@@TheSixoul If anyone's reading this in the future and searching for this mod, I believe it's "Northern Roads - Let Me Guess, Someone Stole Your Sweetroads." (That sounds madeup, but I'm pretty sure that's the mod in question. xD)

Triumvirate - Magic Archetypes Proteus - Huge potential, but I've had terrible luck making it work in my playthroughs. But it has the ability for you to combine several of your characters into one playthrough. So you could have a party of your other characters as followers, then actually switch between them at will and play as them in one playthrough!

@TheSixoul Ай бұрын
I've never used it. What makes it so vital? It just seems kind of like a collector's museum but with the chance of getting in the way of other things
@OlegLecinsky Ай бұрын
I had it installed on a couple of play-throughs. It was fun for the first time, the second time its quests became really annoying. Even more annoying was the urge to collect all junk it creates. Uninstalling it was quite a liberating experience for me - you just play your character w/o ever thinking about museum, collections, etc.
@Arkayjiya Ай бұрын
I have used it, it's tedious and boring to me. It's adds too much junk too. Removing it from my modlist felt great. I'm sure it's an amazing mod, it wouldn't be so popular if people didn't enjoy it, but it's really not for me. Its comprehensive nature and overwhelming number of addition actually lessen my immersion, and makes Skyrim feel more like a collectible journey than a universe you can live in. It gamifies the collecting too much.
@I_saw_that956 2 күн бұрын
See I didn’t even know that LOTDB added stuff I thought it was just a museum for all the existing things in Skyrim I never had a proper place for. I would have preferred it more that way as well.
@StephLoxely Ай бұрын
A simple mod which pairs very well with any animation mod, called PC Headtracking and Voice. Your dragonborn turns their head automatically to look at whoever is speaking or something interesting rather than standing like a stuffed dummy. The voice part enables them to say general things to others, automatically, such as Good Morning, or May I help you? You can import voices of your choice. It gives my dragonborn her own personality without input from me.

Another great show case SG. I noticed you skipped NPC replacers, understandably and Environment mods. But they are so subjective, so perhaps a vid for the future :) I think you could have added a skin texture (Tempered Skin) and one of the skill book pick up replacers (Non-Auto Skill Books). One makes the NPCs match the updated looks of new armors and the other helps a lot with late game skill building. Still very subjective though.

Yes you could very well craft atuff yourself but sometimes ita fun to play as a halfwit who can't make enchants or a weakling who cant lift a hammer. Though I want a mod that sets up a time limit on wait and sleep time so your forced to bum around a city while you get your sword sharpened

Honestly I wish someone ould do something like LAL or Alternate Perspective mixed with dealing with backstories. LAL is my go to cause it gives you a small sliver of backstory but if it could be fleshed out would be awesome.

You should create a wabbajack list or two as a companion for these videos, so noobs can easily get the 'softgaming' skyrim experience without being overwhelmed. I've been avoiding Skyrim VR for awhile because the modding is 'too hard' (i.e. I'm too lazy). The best would be a wabbajack list which keeps the original 'feel' of skyrim (i.e. dark and gloomy, not turned into a bright fairyland) but updated graphics, updated melee combat to make it more accurate, updated ui, etc. In other words, it just updates to 2024 but maintains the skyrimness. The existing wbbajack lists all go too far and make Skyrim ungloomy and bright and have outlandish stuff, such as making the bodies go flying like in a Matrix movie.
