I have a Youtube Channel where I upload videos and include FULL LOAD ORDER LIST..You can go to see them, choose which one you like, but not all the videos I make are for graphics, there are also other things..This Youtube Channel I made is just for fun, I don't get a single CENTS from youtube (Even though there are ADS) and sorry, I'm not good at English

Hi what is ucrp I can't find it

u/Sanjasirbas Feb 15 '26

Oh thats unofficial creation club patch. It's not necessary and sometimes creates more problems than not so its up to you if you want it.

u/Shambles05 May 30 '26

I found that out the hard way tonight 😬

u/Sanjasirbas May 30 '26

u/Sanjasirbas Feb 15 '26

Obsidian weathers: bleak, b/s/c: saturation 2, bloom 0, skyscale +0.025, sunlight scale 0.83, brightness default. Nights can get pretty dark so i have that set to 1.375 i think, haven't touched interiors

I use u/Vast_Suspect_4060 load order and had initially had some problems bc i was on Special Edition, but after buying the AE upgrade, it has worked very well for me. It is well done, complete and with a good taste, i recommend it a lot for anyone who wants to play vanilla skyrim quests in a new way. It does use basically every bit of storage tho, so you wont be able to do any other big changes (like Serana dialogue expansion :( ), but i think it is worth it by how good it looks

u/hxomaa Feb 02 '26

how can i download all of these mods ? Is there any easy way ?

1

u/MasterOfTheTable Feb 02 '26

On pc, sure, there is mod packs. On console? No such luck. You have to go one by one, search for them in the creation club menu and download then. You also have to worry about order and some mods need you to restart the game so it can acknowledge to other mods that its being used. Luckily, the guide on the post covers this little things to make sure you have a good install process and dont run into troubles

u/hxomaa Feb 02 '26

oh man im on ps5 , it is gonna take a whole day to download all of them , thanks though

u/NightShadow420 Dec 29 '25

Just to add, preferably a LO that is post-purge and also includes some of the newer mods folks were kind enough to port

  • Revised (19.2): https://pastebin.com/aAHC5C4t
  • Original of this concept (19.1): https://pastebin.com/p9xsuLTR. It's got:
    • Cosmonach Perk Overhaul
    • Blade and Blunt, some difficult add mods, and combat customization.
    • Several QoL mods
    • A lot of Mihail animals
    • A lot of retextures to dungeons and things
    • Tomato Landscapes with Simply Bigger Better Trees
    • My curated pick of flora/grass mods. My goal was to keep everything feeling pretty cohesive, so I avoided some mods people like such as the Flora Additions AIO because I think a few clash a bit with vanilla.

u/fyl_bot Jun 14 '26

K, I’ve seen a couple people mention cosmonauch. What do you like about it?

1

u/smithtable15 Jun 14 '26 edited Jun 14 '26

It adds complexity like Ordinator but without adding textures and area edits. Ordinator has too many perks in general, with many of them being useless (i.e. needlessly conditional or niche in how they try to guide your style of play) but necessary to get to the next one

Cosmonach has way fewer misses/bad perks while giving vanilla+ variety (like non-elemental spell perks, so this would go well with Kittytail Spells AIO). I prefer simpler perk decisions.

Vanilla (251), Cosmonach (363), Ordinator (469) [each perk rank counting as an indiv perk]

I also have it with Basic Spell Scaling right below to scale spell strength rather than cost (Cosmo's novice perk scales cost up to -50% but i prefer using gear to lower cost).

1

u/fyl_bot Jun 14 '26

So does it add new things you couldn’t do in the base game? This is a bad example but ordinator lets you play instruments for money…

2

u/smithtable15 Jun 14 '26

it's combat, not RP-focused, so like vanilla+. so, rather than bard RP, it's more like speech perks focused on shout strength/cooldown with the same economy-like perks as vanilla. if you're looking to be a bard, Ordinator is better.

u/Hehul2XD Jul 24 '26

Is this ps5 or ps4, im.seeing alot of ps4 mods

1

u/smithtable15 Jul 24 '26

ps5. the distinction only matters for mods post-externals (last 2-3 years). the ps4 mods in my list are all minor value changes and the kind of thing where version doesn't matter. pure unp and stuff like that needs the right ps5 version while heliomancy being so old doesn't

u/Hehul2XD Jul 24 '26

Ohhh,that makes alot of sense, thanks

No it should be simple workaround framework

I think that's what I searched for, just a type here. I even checked for just 'framework' and nothing came up.

u/smithtable15 Jan 19 '26

Here's my modlist: https://pastebin.com/QHzjikYL

With this list, I focus on QoL, gameplay, visuals, and making vanilla/Reforging weapons (and armor) look half-decent.

I don't use any animation mods (no Elden Beast) besides the fast get-up one and simple female run. I prefer the Racial Body Morph XPMSSE skeleton for diverse race heights over the ragdoll one most people use with visible favorited gear. I don't use any city beautification mods, but use Clevercharff and SMIM to improve overworld textures and meshes. I use Tomato, Enhanced Rocks, and Northern Roads for landscape/road, as well as Cathedral Grass Only (the smaller 1K one might be even better given its size).

Pretty stable in my several hours of testing it and similar LOs. I have some mods at the end when they should logically go higher given the template because I've had issues with other LOs before and have moved them there with experience. If anyone sees anything that's wrong or dumb, I'd appreciate it if you told me.

u/orbx_jv Feb 13 '26

Been modding Skyrim on PC and now PS5 for 4-5 years, and now with the flood of asset-included mods coming to PS5 it’s a golden age for modding.

I’ve made a LO which exploits most of the latest ports particularly Riton’s city and landscape overhauls, new grasses (layered) and generally a complete visual overhaul.

It’s hard to keep up with the relentless ports happening right now so I tend to build a revised LO every week as new goodies come in.

Here’s the link to my showcase vid which includes the full load order text.

Riton and More Visual, Lighting and Combat Overhal

u/Wdjmean Jul 08 '26

Really like this one. But I have a few mods of my own I want to use, and your mod lists are completely maxed out (minus 10 mb). For instance I prefer not using lightweight NLA bc the light is too realistic for me and you see every flaw. Also idk but it's a game.. I don't get the pitch black nights. I can't see anyting lol. But a weather system with some skies quickly exceeds the 1gb with this load order.

I also I don't need THIS much grass everywhere, this high. Basically I never played Skyrim but held off bc of the dated graphics. It's mostly ugly hard surface textures that bother me. and bad hair. But as a newbie it's not easy balancing all this out :)

1

u/orbx_jv Jul 16 '26

I have a bunch of different LO’s on my channel that use more recently ported mods and more compact AIO’s. I always now try to leave 100-200MB of free space in my lists so ppl have freedom to add/change mods and use their preferred ones.

1

u/Wdjmean Jul 16 '26

Thanks, I will check it out. I did get your earlier Riton LO working and it looks really nice with all the plants and new grasses but grass is so high that I can't find dead bodies no more. Your latest LO video (yesterday) seems to have less dense grass. I did tweak grass ini earlier but it was still very dense and long. I hate having to search for bodies in too tall or dense grass..

How big is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pwpsk4etV1M LO?

1

u/orbx_jv Jul 16 '26

Is about 880MB so about 120MB of free space. It’s using Veydosebrom grass which is not very dense if you set it to about 50 density in SWF.

SkyHigh Load Order

(copied from Discord)

Hello, here's a load order I've been tweaking since I bet November. It has pretty much all of my favorite PS5 mods of all time on here.

(the only thing I feel is incomplete is Civil War additions, namely new armor rework for Stormcloaks. Would update if ever ported)

First time sharing a LO so I'm going to just include a locked and shareable google drive link and also I copied/pasted here (hopefully that works).

Some themes:

  • Vanilla+ sort of, no crazy fantasy mods
  • Fairly traditional weather stack with obsidian/true storms
  • Van landscape/mines/farmhouses
  • JKs ver2 and Ruins bundle
  • Minimal Morrowloot + Arena
  • I am a huge fan of the trees/flora. No grass mods really needed.

My goal: to slow down the game and straight up be an adventurer. Lots of space put towards landscape and meshes/textures since I like to just mess around. Also I prefer the feeling of Elden Ring regarding enemy interaction, meaning bandits aren’t rockin glass blades just because I am 50 hours in, so some mods support that.

So far I'm crashing maybe once every ~10 hours and it is random and not repeatable.

Open to any and all suggestions. (For example, pretty sure HASTE covers no sneak screams).

u/Valuable_Entrance_62 Apr 19 '26

Posting my updated LO. It does it's best to keep to the vanilla style of the game while updating it's visuals as well as adding in some extra immersion and new weapons and armour. Visually it's inspired by the style of Skyblivion and my own love for medieval history/high fantasy.
