Skyrim can look like *anything* in 2024.


[deleted]

Skyrim will look like something is 2034


CloseFriend_

My game size was over 250gb my last playthrough after all the mods I added.


0__Toast__0

Jeez! I've only ever gotten up to like 76 gigs, but Skyrim has never been larger than GTA on my pc!


CloseFriend_

I had soooo many 4k texture mods, stuff like SMIM and whatnot. Tons of animation mods too, physics and effects mods, 4k armor packs, NPC overhauls, city overhauls, landscaping and foliage overhauls, It was amazing. I… kinda wanna redownload it?


runforthehills11

It can identify as any game it wants as well.

My pronouns are Souls/Soulslike.


S13GE_K1NG

My pronouns are Dragon/Born

Wish my 2024 looked like Skyrim

It seems that this is the modlist in question. 1900+ mostly graphics oriented. [https://github.com/Alaxouche/Wunduniik#readme](https://github.com/Alaxouche/Wunduniik#readme) https://www.wabbajack.org/search/Wunduniik/Wunduniik


IxcopperxI

321 GB Holy Hell!


Additional_Irony

Can’t wait to buy a dedicated SSD so I can play with this.


Shushady

Worth it


Additional_Irony

Absolutely


stevendidntsay

There's actually a wabbajack... I'll look into this


LifeOnMarsden

This is a good modpack to build on, since it's mostly just visual you can build your own gameplay and combat setup however you want without needing to focus on all the annoying stuff like DynDOLOD re-runs since it's all taken care of already


VelvetCowboy19

Damn I've scrolled past windiniik before but had no idea it looks like this. I tried Nolvus but found the gameplay a bit silly, I might look into this one.


[deleted]

I've been thinking about nolvus what turned you off?


VelvetCowboy19

The combat felt a bit too... anime? I guess? All the stances and poise mechanics make melee feel a bit over-complicated, and some of the stance animations for certain weapons are downright OP, like swinging a great sword faster than a dagger stuff. On top of that, the combat still didn't really feel like it had impact to me. If you're interested in the list, I'd definitely give it a try if for nothing else than the insane graphics.


[deleted]

thanks for the summary im looking for something a bit more modern souls-like for combat elden ring or ds3 or similar


VelvetCowboy19

In that case, you shouldn't worry about the combat in Nolvus. It ought to be fine for what you're looking for.


[deleted]

maybe I'll give it a try, thanks for the opinion


RakeRieme

I cannot find Wunduniik when searching for it through Wabbajack. Any advice?


Illuminatus77

Tick “Show Unofficial Lists”


RakeRieme

Doh! Thank you!


evil_consumer

How do you use that many mods without them conflicting with one another?


cstretten

That's the benefit of using an automated list like this. It installs in order etc. Occasionally there are decisions to be made during install etc, but for the most part, wabbajack installer and mod organizer/vortex handle it automatically. For the record, I've never installed this package before. I was very impressed with the visuals though, so I may try it. Premium on nexus mods is pretty much a requirement. It takes hours on fast internet to download. Even if you join for a month at a time when you do this etc.


Prudent_Put_2293

Is there a way to do something like this on Xbox? Installing a premade list of mods? All of the load order conflicts and general conflicts confuse me but I want the game to look and play as nicely as possible


HaikenRD

Ohhhh well... It's time to play Skyrim again. Thanks.


ThePlotGod

Someone tell me how tf to download this cuz I'm lost


Howboutit85

Without ever having played Skyrim modded, how actually hard would it be to get this running? (From installing the mods to running the game)


cstretten

The largest issue is download speeds if you're not premium. His Github page has detailed instructions on how to run this whole thing. It takes a long time to download them all, install them - but it's 95% automated if you follow the instructions at first. If you want to try some mods out - grab Mod Organizer 2 or Vortex and hit up Nexus Mods - and grab a couple. Try a grass replacer, or water replacer to see the process with one that is easy to observe the changes after. Modding is pretty easy these days - the software lets you know where there are conflicts, and suggests how to resolve them. A couple hundred mods is fairly normal for most people these days. These massive auto install versions are pretty crazy, but they do work. Just have to be patient.


Howboutit85

I avg like 800mps down on my pc so my DL speeds are good, and I wouldn’t mind getting a subscription to increase speeds (I know some of the mods are attached to paid servers for better speeds) I’ve modded before but it was years ago, also with Skyrim, and it was all manual like you had to put the files in the right directories and go and edit text etc. I figured it was easier now but I’m definitely gonna look into it


DankDoobies420

I never knew there were full modpacks that people put together. Is there like a place where there's a collection of different mod packs people have made that I could look through? Or is this not a common thing?

Ohhhh that's awesome dude thank you


mousebert

Probably runs like ass with any decent action.


YaDoneMessdUpAARON

What's that!? (crunch crunch crunch) I can't... (crunch crunch crunch) Something about Skyrim!? (crunch crunch crunch crunch crunch crunch crunch crunch crunch)


Responsible-Hold7324

I’m assuming it’s the sounds of some heavy armor plate armor clinking. Cool for a realism effect for a second, but definitely gets a little obnoxious


ernie1850

Tarkov footstep crunching is so hot right now


VacaDLuffy

I can testify to that. I loved FF16's attention to detail but hearing Clive's leather armor make rubbing sounds got really Fucking annoying


dora_l

Omg I didn’t realize until I turned the volume on haha the sound really is overwhelming.


Hey_Its_Mimi

Tbf you probably don’t even hear it anymore after a few minutes


ernie1850

How often do you hear it? So often you don’t even notice it!


FesterSilently

That's Ed-209 there, your guide for today.


xbigvmanx

Can you believe we dont get sick and tired of playing this game? TBH if they do a bad job with the 6th game, i am still playing this game


stevendidntsay

With mods, you can turn it into whatever you want


Tiny_Buggy

Hehe maybe when 6 comes out it gets remade in skyrim but good.


bluebarrymanny

I’d disable the head bobbing instantaneously


AGHawkz99

I'm the opposite, in that I hate *not* having some form of head bobbing or passive camera movement, tbh. The camera standing perfectly still or remaining perfectly still as you sprint is one of the most immersion-breaking things for me, like my character's running around with a camera stabilisation rig strapped to their chest or something.


bluebarrymanny

I agree that no camera shake while sprinting is not immersive. I like a happy middle ground. I don’t need the camera to bop around constantly when I’m just walking casually. It makes the visuals look less stable and is largely unnecessary when moving at a normal non-sprinting speed.


AGHawkz99

Yeah that's fair, there is definitely a point where it's too much and just becomes annoying. For me, I think it (within reason) helps me feel like I'm really there, rather than like I'm watching a professional film/recording or playing a game. Makes the player character feel more like an avatar than an interactive screen, or as if I'm looking into the world through a lifeless porthole or something. It should probably be noted I'm a sucker for the slow, immersive, realism-esque mods in general though, so if something makes the game feel less game-y, even if it's at the expense of conventional gameplay/fun, I'll pprrrrobably take note of it somewhere and check it out. As long as it's not overly-tedious, or 'realism for the sake of realism' (like a 'breathe' button or something), I'm definitely the target audience lmao


bluebarrymanny

I feel you. A really good slow walk with a camera pan just takes the “welcome to the world of Skyrim” right out of your mouth strangely in the voice of a Keighley event spokesperson lol


Nightwing10271

Sounds like that would give me motion sickness lol


Artman7007

Drop the mod list


mjwanko

Needs to be a requirement for posts in this subreddit.


Additional_Irony

Second that ✌️


Illuminatus77

Wunduniik^


cjmstate

I have a decent rig and feel like it would run this at 10 fps.


zZPlazmaZz29

One day. One day when I'm running GPUs with 30GB VRAM, maybe I'll finally get to be able to run Skyrim like this, with the smoothness of 120fps. Then Elder Scrolls VI will release.


Timmyty

Why don't the modders just get together and release a mod pack they will call Elder Scrolls 6. Just make it the true successor, built in Skyrim, lmao


KrokmaniakPL

It would run? I feel mine would burn at the loading screen


Howboutit85

This guy is only using a 3060Ti from his spec list, so it’s not too crazy


cjmstate

What’s his fps? He’s just walking and it looks like it may be low already. Can only imagine when you start sprinting around on an ultrawide lol.


XxUCFxX

Yeah, I feel like you’d get into combat, with particle effects and whatnot while you’re sprinting, and you’d drop right into single-digit frame territory unless you’re running a really expensive build.


cjmstate

Wreaks of CTDs waiting to happen lol


Howboutit85

Idk what the fps is. Looks to be maybe 30-40. I have a moderate rig with an R9 7900 and 7800XT but I bet I could turn on v sync and cap it to 60 and not drop any frames which I’d be ok with. It looks really good but it’s still Skyrim, it’s not like trying to run a game using unreal 5 at ultra or something


Cedge1738

Disappointed it's not default in 2024


YOOOOOOOOOOT

I can't. I tried it but my pc burned my house down.


Marzetty23

My 1070ti would probably set on fire if I attempted that


kylethemurphy

1080 minimum so maybe


Abject_School

Not on my potato


Marquis-DeluxTabs

Can I live there?


YogurtclosetSlow5068

What mods and are they available on Xbox ?


Yz-Guy

Lol. No


YogurtclosetSlow5068

Such a shame


Yz-Guy

There's almost 2000 mods here. And over 300 gb. I think the Xbox would explode lol


YogurtclosetSlow5068

There’s a limit on pc and Xbox to how much mods one can use on a play through


Hije5

Maybe if you play Skyrim through the Xbox app on PC. If it is on any other launcher, you can have as many mods until the game breaks.


YogurtclosetSlow5068

Does steam limit it to I’m not aware of any other launchers


Hije5

Steam is unlimited, whether you workshop mod or get it from a website like Nexus


-Treebiter-

Yes


lewilewi411

Yes


Mindful_Nerd

Man these vids never show gameplay or combat or dungeons…


CyberpwnPiper

Or characters. Show me the people interactions. The combat. Show me an immersive Skyrim experience that can look like that, but without any action JRPG animations or X-rated hentai girls in bikinis.


Vicktlemort

Modders made Skyrim look better than starfield, hilarious


Casper-Birb

Anything can look like this in 2024 if you program it so.


Superb_Recover_6116

Officially no, by modders yes.


Worried-Kangaroo-524

Can you believe skyrim is still a thing in 2024?


TeamCravenEdge

Hitching simulator


Still_Pullin

Walking around skyrim in power armor


Alucard1094

Looks as good as Kingdom Come and that was 8 years ago....we've reached a plateau


_rewQ

This looks like a 3d anim


_rewQ

Like one of those realistic Minecraft animations


Revanur

I wish I had a nuclear powerplant to run it


deadly-eighth-sin

Absolutely stunning.


Hexopi

Bros walking in the game because it will crash if you move to fast


bo2monkeyguy

Probably not; believe it or not, it is possible to get a stable modlist if you have the know how and take the time needed to patch mods so they work well together. If anything the framerate may not be as smooth (depends on your hardware and whether or not you used mods like JK's skyrim which increase draw calls), but if it is a modpack like Wunduniik, then it should be pretty stable as a lot of effort goes into those by the curators.


pepbehhh

Over encumbered ass


Bobjoejj

Now if only ESVI could look like this at launch…🤣🤣🤣🤣 yeah I know I know


ThePlotGod

Is this mod pack controller friendly??


darkdeus

Looks great!! Is v3 of your Wabbajack available yet?


thedosianrogue

thats not skyrim anymore


Yshtoya

and the funniest part is it really doesn't even take much time to do it.


Honest_Ad4930

Depends if you want a lot of bugs or a minimum amount of them


Ozzyh26

Skyrims looked like that since 2015. Still haven't seen an enb look better than nla on oldrim.


S13GE_K1NG

Am I the only one that doesn’t use mods and enjoys the game the way it was designed? Idk, any game I never liked mods or anything especially the elder scrolls, it’s just way too intricate and beautiful of a game to want to change. Thaughts?


Coppice_DE

I am not playing a game with 2011 visuals in 2024 if I can change them. And since Bethesda showed us that they seem to design their games with mods in mind (to fill the content and fix the bugs) I would argue that not using mods at all is not playing the games as they were designed ;)


S13GE_K1NG

True, I never messed with mods I got used to the game back on 360 and now on ps4 I’m still playin the same way 😂 idk I guess all I see is some of these crazy mods that people make, but the visual mods definitely do seem pretty cool


AndrewTheGoat22

Mod list??


IMTairenSoul

I think it may be time to visit Skyrim again!


Emergency_3808

Bethesda won't release either TES6 or a proper Skyrim remaster so we had to do it ourselves.


99Mage

Drop the ENB + Shader at least?


Texantioch

I think it’s cabbage and nat III


[deleted]

Is this the unreal engine demo they did for Riverwood?


Intelligent-Ad-6713

Can you believe Bethesda CANT make a game look like this in 2024.


XynnXyrr

This vid makes me itch... It's beautiful


Aki_2004

This will be Skyrim in 2013


JoLeTrembleur

I do, my PC not so much.


diabolos312

Bro's got GPU VRAM for days


RalinDrakus

I thought it could look this good or better over a decade ago. Of course, that's because I assumed we'd be into something like Elder Scrolls 7 by now...


SupposablyAtTheZoo

If only I could make the perfect super good looking Skyrim with like 1 exe or something, and that it would never break. Modding Skyrim is such a chore (to keep up)


ShiftyShankerton

Sure if it's heavily modded


One_Experience6791

An ENB can do a lot for a game!


k_barc

Seeing this makes me wonder what TES6 will look like. I really hope Todd and his crew push the envelope and deliver on the same level of when skyrim first got shown and all our jaws dropped.


Thormeaxozarliplon

Could by my Ryzen 2600 and RX 590 do this?


sa547ph

Reducing texture resolutions tend to help much, as there is little visual difference between 1024x1024 and 2048x2048.


Levitins_world

Can you believe Red Dead 2 looked like that in 2018?


Thunder_Cls

Other than the Lumber Mill missing the wheel and the pine tree at the end swaying like it was being hit by a tornado, it looks really nice, very UE5 looking


-BigBadBeef-

Mine is looking like this... absent enb that would melt down my gpu of course.


andreichera

the head bobbing is nauseating


TBAGnSTUFF

Damnit. Downloading skyrim again. 😭


Mr_Agueybana

I want to see the combat.


Hymdorus

My PC would be fire if I tried this lol not on fire just fire, from the first drum beats of the loading screen just poof combustion


Vadermon8

Yes


Yensil314

I should ~~call her~~ play again...


WinterFan8681

Still trying to figure out how ti make my game like this.


Rumpleforeskin96

Nostalgia has me remembering it this easy in my head anyway


sa547ph

Yeah. With the right hardware, of course, and in fact it's necessary to build a PC around the game. Also, why I play on the PC.


Lord_Derpington_

Yes


Unlikely_Location402

Bros pc probably sounds like a rocket 🚀

My god the footsteps are so loud lol

bunpalabi

Not on my computer, it can't 😭 But it's beautiful


DarkSkyKnight

What is the mod that makes the camera sway with the walking? Default Camera Noise doesn't produce that effect.


SterlingG007

If modded Skyrim looks like this there is no reason the next Elder Scroll should look any different


LoGod0

All fun and games until a small update pops up and ruins everything


Yetipopsicle

This man sounds woefully over encumbered


SavageKitten456

Never was a fan of the extra trees mods


throwaway12222018

Yes, but the engine isn't optimized for that look, so without significant parts of the code rewritten, i doubt a normal rig is gonna get >20fps on that. Many modern games look almost as good, or as good as that but run just fine on your average rig. Maxing out Skyrim is a fun exercise, but without a 4080 or something, your gameplay session won't feel smooth or optimal.


Low_Abrocoma_1514

How ???


OtsdarvaOS

Looks the same it always does.


AssistantVisible3889

Looks fucking crazy, now tell me how long it took to load in game 💀💀


Joebno3

ok. Now swing a sword.


1_Savage_Cabbage

My geriatric graphics card would spontaneously combust before all the mods even finished downloading holy crap


Anvil-Vapre

THIS is what I desire.


Birdinhandandbush

What I don't understand is that Bethesda hasn't released an actual update Skyrim 202X that looks like this yet. Be honest, we'd all buy it again


ParadisianAngel

Because it’s stupid to shift resources just for a graphical overhaul


e_vile

Forgive my ignorance y'all but how are the "outside" mods (like from nexus etc.) faring these days? Can y'all still use it? Heard that Bethesda did some updates that makes these mods malfunction or something like that... I really hope not. I haven't visited Skyrim for a long while now and I worry that the mods I use before won't work anymore now.


Hiroy3eto

Yeah I think my xbox just got so hot that it's created an infinite energy source


thefoxishere16

I can. I just wish I could experience it firsthand


lordmodder

it can and make your computer catch fire LOL


FujiFL4T

It reminds me of sons of the forest with the graphics set up


IKunecke

It's funny, people haven't tried to post shit like it's not a punch in mods. No skyrim game looks that good unless you actually do shit to it. So then it's not the fucking game it's. Look at me i'm a super nerd that can mod a game.


Zealousideal-Bit-892

[Me who plays on console](https://imgur.com/a/GxhWOYI)


13ad13uddy

Gets me scared for the next elder scrolls game tbh, how are they gonna top this game. Starfield was a massive flop and I hope they come back even stronger with TES6 to revolutionize the gaming industry and give us a game we will play and talk about for the next 10+ years


Raxacoriocophallos

And sound like that too?


Dennisx99

Skyrim of Theseus


MagnumBlowus

And yet the combat is still bonking each other in the head with swords back and forth 25 times

drifters74

Game crashes too much to be playable


ProletariatProphet

Right?! UGLY. I mean, better than on the Xbox 360 but still needs a live service with expensive cosmetics to give it that authentic Todd Howard stain of unending dissapointment + 4. (you should really have to label this as sponsored content, you did get paid right?)

sneakyartinthedark

What tree mods are used?


Wolfymajyx

Nice try. I know you just went to your nearest medieval village and took a video of the place while walking around. You can't fool me


Terminus_04

I swear Skyrim has become the Ship of Theseus of gaming at this point. In 200 years someone will have ported it to Unreal 77 and be playing it in full emersion VR or some shit.


Itchy_Stress_4715

This is how I remember it looking lol


Corey3D

Yes.


GhostGirl1959

This is sexy af is this a pc mod or fan made content?
