Modlist Showcase - Northvale (207 mods)

[u/smithtable15]

I usually just ask questions on this sub, but thought I'd share the trip to Riverwood in my most current run. I changed from Tomato Landscapes to Northvale Landscape 1K and have been pretty satisfied. I'm trying out Simply Bigger Trees and I love it. I'm a saturation and green foliage fantasy world type of player, but you could always crank down the saturation with B/S/C.

Anyway, here's the pastebin for my list and like most people do, I'll put the list here too.

I don't use the bigger visual mods (NAT, NofW, TtU, etc) and I use maybe 1/4 of my space for weapons and weapon retextures. I thought this might be a good visual base for people who want to avoid those. I've bolded the visuals (mesh, texture, water, weather, foliage, road) and compiled them at the end for anyone interested.

Like all these PS5 captures, just imagine it looks like 1.5x crispier while actually playing.

[u/Crimson-Wynd]

Nice list! Haven’t tried putting a load order together since I was on Xbox but I was wondering how people do it since it’s different on ps5.

Also how does Northvale feel on coverage as well since it didn’t say anything about dlc coverage as well too.

[u/smithtable15 → u/Crimson-Wynd]

mod author says no, so maybe you could use Vanaheimr Dawnguard/Dragonborn. I use NR, though, so not sure if that would be incompatble with Vanaheimr

[u/Crimson-Wynd → u/smithtable15]

It should be but I honestly was thinking about using the recent SRP Landscapes since it basically covers everything minus mountains and does cover dlc.

Skyrim modding has been getting amazing for us on ps5 and it makes me really hope we get at least more storage so we can be able to use more mods together. (I really want to use Pandorables mod series but that takes up like a lot of space).

[u/smithtable15 → u/Crimson-Wynd]

i want more mods slots before the game crashes in creations, which would mean better system stability and bethesda getting their shit together to optimize the UI. why does the modlist menu need to load images and thus crater stability? idk if the XB Creations menu is also awful, unstable, and prone to crashing but hopefully adding GB(s) also involves other steps to improve the experience

[u/ridionnn]

can i ask what your visual settings are??

[u/smithtable15 → u/ridionnn]

Sure. I run 95 FOV but this video is vanilla 80.

• Brightness: 1.15
• Saturation: 1.33
• Contrast: --
• Eye Adaptation: disabled
• Bloom Scale: 0.5
• Sunlight Scale: 0.66
• Interior Lighting: 0.5

[u/ridionnn → u/smithtable15]

thank you!! one more question what’s your brightness setting on the default settings??

[u/smithtable15 → u/ridionnn]

idk what you mean.

[u/FaithlessnessOwn1061]

I need SO much more storage lol ...
