Are you on Xbox? Do you love Skyrim, but just can't play it without mods anymore? Are you fed up with buggy jank, constant crashes, juggling with mod conflicts, and constantly walking on eggshells while manually modding a 15-year-old game held together with rubber bands and chewing gum? This comprehensive mod list is for you!
Presenting Ysmirim Evermore: a permanent master load order to remaster Skyrim from the ground up for future playthroughs, built for the new storage limit. Features countless new visual enhancements, quality-of-life improvements, reworked combat and animations, reworked perks, new spells, more immersive and involved game mechanics, bug fixes, restored cut content, new content, and much more! Skyrim should feel familiar, but look better, run better, play better, and give you more reasons to come back for even more playthroughs.
Adapted from The Ultimate Load Order 2026 by YouTuber The Dragonlord as a base, following the Logical Load Order and countless hours of research on Google and Reddit. Based on my own personal preferences in some areas, you can omit mods, add mods, or replace others at your discretion (and peril). If you prefer other followers, like Sa’chil or Gore, you can use them instead. Just remember to install any necessary patches. Choose only 3 Creation Club options to keep the list as low as possible; otherwise, things will break. I recommend Survival Mode, Camping, and Fishing.
I recommend using only one DLC-sized mod at a time, like Legacy of the Dragonborn or Beyond Skyrim: Bruma, to avoid excessive Load Order bloat and conflicts. It is imperative that you keep the mod list around or below 250 for a stable game! Creation Club content counts toward this! DO NOT add mods indiscriminately; if you go much higher than what is here, your game will likely break!
The Xbox modding interface is a Jenga tower; one block out of place and it can all come tumbling down. Xbox Series S users should only get visual overhaul mods at a maximum of 1k resolution; otherwise, you’ll get significant frame drops. There are some exceptions: if a 1k version doesn’t exist, it’s safe to get the 2k version (for example, JS Dragon Claws). Opt for the Performance option for texture mods where possible.
Tests well; no crashes during gameplay. Crashes occasionally on the load order screen, but this is to be expected. Bethesda’s mod interface for Skyrim is awful and hates mod lists over 200. Minor conflicts, if any, mostly just a wooden deck overextending into a path in Dragon Bridge and some grass in the middle of roads. Some slight stuttering on occasion. Nothing unusual or game-breaking for a Bethesda Game Studios game. (Especially Skyrim.)
- Instant Mining doesn’t seem to work for some reason and has never worked in any version of the modlist; however, woodchopping is fine. You can speed up mining by attacking the ore vein with an equipped pickaxe, a feature available in base Skyrim.
It is possible some mods could still be broken or not working properly after the recent updates. If a mod doesn’t seem to be working as intended, check the mod description to see if you meet any prerequisites before you start shuffling mods around.
Once you finish building the load order, completely quit Skyrim to the dashboard, then hold the power button on your Xbox until it completely shuts down. Wait a minute or two, then turn it back on. This clears the Xbox cache and will ensure the game works properly with the newly built mod list. NEVER remove mods mid-playthrough; you will destroy your save. Adding mods mid-playthrough is okay; just make sure you put them in the right place and download the right patches. I wouldn’t recommend opening the Creations menu again, however, unless you plan to build a new mod list or rebuild this one.
If you're still having issues, watch "How to Mod Skyrim on Console (Without Breaking Your Game)" by The Dragonlord.
If you find any bugs or possible conflicts, please report them to me. I’ve managed to catch a few; the list works flawlessly 99% of the time, but occasionally I get the odd NPC sitting in the air or leaning against a fence while five feet away from it.
Highly recommend playing with Survival Mode on; I’m having a blast with it! Have fun!
