In this video we'll be taking a look a series of must have Immersion mods that deepen your sense of realism, allowing you to get further lost into the game. As well mods that expand and flesh out the game’s existing lore to create an overall more realistic and cohesive world.

    Super high quality showcase, absolutely love it! Thanks so much!
  • @zenix8337
    Glad to see you’re back! Your videos are always so relaxing to watch
  • @urbanexotic
    Great video and I absolutely want to see more immersion-related videos from you. Thank you!
  • @saladinbob
    I don't believe the mod that removes the Talos shrines to be lore accurate since through dialogue with many of the Imperial supporters, they neither like nor support the Thalmor, or its ban on Talos, they simply believe the Empire is best for Skyrim. We know for example that Balgruuf allows Talos worship in Whiterun despite not being on the side of the Stormcloaks.
  • @sonderbain
    My nexus notifs were popping this morning :D Thanks for showing off some of my animation mods! Ill also be trying out some of other mods in this vid as I am setting up a new mod list! *Also really good video btw!
  • These are a great selection of mods that may actually get me back to Tamriel, especially Simple Hunting Overhaul, I like Jayserpa's mod quite a bit over the years and often endorse their work. 😁
  • Hey! Great video and thank you for the showcase! Keep up the good work!
  • @troynov1965
    That animals on back of horse ( simple hunting ) is just like RDR which I also play a lot, very cool.
  • @vereen70
    I finally subscribed 👍🏾🫡 Your videos cam never be “to long”! Great job 👏🏾
  • @SandGentleman
    You finally convinced me to download SkyClimb and EVGAT with that Climb-able Ladders mod LOL Loving the videos m8!

    Good video showcase. I recently added the Environs mod for the wrecked farmhouse by the Western Watchtower, I am well into my game and it immediately appeared fixed and inhabited by the young family, the first time I went near it after installing the mod. Not a big deal for me, but it will be interesting to see it progress from the start of a new game. When I do start a new game I'll also add the Watchtower mod itself too, and a couple others, especially ones that add vendors since vanilla Morthall is in need of a general trader. I also use ClefJ's Morthall which already nets me two general traders and a smith, but one can never have enough merchants especially in the early game when every Septim matters. As for NPC's in Bethesda titles, I've given up on attempting to make them more immersive because they aren't and can't be due to voiceline and engine limitations, until the whole AI Voice Generation matter gets resolved that is. I tried EVG animations Conditional Idles, but even with the MCM choices they just made the gameplay unbearably slower, I know that's a subjective option for individuals to choose for themselves, but I just mention it for those who might want to use the mod so that they're aware of the slowdown to the gameplay. It's most annoying for lockpicking because the animation takes you out of stealth, be warned, especially in highly patrolled areas in cities/towns, and expect to be arrested more. No comment on survival/hunting mods I don't use them myself, again subjective options which I don't require, but to those who do, these look good.
  • @sydniebush6490
    Immersion based mods are such a huge necessity for me when it comes to skyrim. Love your vids 🥰
  • @henrycoleman9180
    Oh hurray! I was wondering if you had stopped making videos but I’m glad you’re back! Always liked your stuff :)
  • @gobynart
    Downloading all of these, amazing explanations and amazing mods that are NEEDED!
  • @igavinwood
    I have just started to look at Skyrim mods again after a break and the utter mess BGS left in their latest pay-walling mods attempt (the greed monkeys just keep screwing things up). So it's great to see this showcase of mods that work together. Subbed because you actually review mods that work, rather than here's a list of new stuff. The bit that's missing is always getting mods to work together.
  • Your game looks so good and i love the UI, do you think you'll make a video going over the general mods you use ? Keep up the awesome videos!
  • @EneruM
    Skill based animations are sick! Amazing mod :o
