YouTube’s ‘Digital Dreams’ shared a video, showcasing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim with over 3100 mods and Complete Ray Tracing Reshade. And yes, you read that right. The YouTuber has used more than 3100 mods. So, let’s take a look at it.
As with most of their videos, Digital Dreams did not include any performance overlay. From what I can see, though, the game runs way below 60fps. My guess is that this is also at Native 4K. So, perhaps they should have used a DLSS Mod to improve performance.
Anyway, regarding the graphics on display, this heavily modded version of Skyrim looks amazing. However, it’s not perfect. For instance, there are some reflection issues (that you can easily spot at 2:35). A “halo aura” also surrounds the main protagonist (and the grass). This is most likely to the settings used for the Complete Ray Tracing Reshade Mod.
Now the good news here is that Digital Dreams has shared the list of mods they have used. So, if you want to use all of these 3100+ mods, you can go ahead and download the modlist from this link.
Do note that this is for Skyrim Special Edition 1.5.97. You can still use this list with Anniversary Edition or more current updates of Skyrim. Wabbajack can also automatically downgrade the self-contained install to 1.5.97.
Speaking of Skyrim, here are some other big fan expansions for it. Wyrmstooth is one of them, adding new quests and dungeons to the game. This other mod brings elements from The Witcher games into Skyrim. Dragon Hall Tavern is a huge 2GB mod that adds quests, new places, an arena, and more. Then there’s Land of Vominhem, Apotheosis and Legacy of the Dragonborn. Don’t forget to also check out this Castlevania-inspired mod. Shumer and the Priest Kings is another DLC-sized expansion mod with over 200 locations, 180+ quests and 8,500 lines of voiced dialogue. Oh, and here is another one that adds the cool Nemesis system from Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor to it. Lastly, we have this mod that adds six new islands to explore.
And that’s not all. Skyrim has other mods that do lots of cool stuff. So, if you don’t want to use the aforementioned modlist, you can try the following ones.
For instance, this Call of Duty Mod adds to the game 12 new fully functional weapons from it. Then we have this mod that adds to the base game over 7000 voiced lines via AI. There is also this mod that brings the voices of Geralt and Ciri from The Witcher 3 to it. Another cool mod is this one that adds destructible objects to the game. You can also download this mod that makes NPCs smarter, enabling dynamic AI and allowing them to seek cover. Oh, and let’s also not forget this mod that adds unlimited dynamic light sources, as well as this mod that introduces a dynamic sanity system. Not only that but this mod adds a dynamic decapitation system. Finally, these mods add Subsurface Scattering, Dynamic Cubemaps, Water Caustics and Parallax Mapping to the game.
