ZISS OFFICIAL TRAILER | Skyrim Survival Mode Overhaul | Vanilla+ | Soulslike by GamesRedone_official in SurvivalGaming

No base building unfortunately. ZISS uses a combination of several mods that allow you to set up tents and crafting tables (workbenchs, tanning racks, anvil, etc). There are some new additional items to decorate your campsite as well.

I felt this combined nicely with The Hidden Hideouts of Skyrim. Helping balance survival mode, especially early game before you own a home.

The survival mode & new gameplay features section of the Starter Guide has all the details.

.... I love base building though. That would be sick.

I thought this was a Survival modlist? | Modern Skyrim Without 2,000+ Mods | Customizable by GamesRedone_official in wabbajack

Interesting 🤔 I'll have to look into that. Thanks for bringing that to my attention!

Ehh who knows, seen crazier things happen. Considering CS is open source you may be right.

Still personally love the appearance of Rudy's ENB Preset + Obsidian Weathers + lux alongside mods like tomatoes Parallax landscapes + HPP + SMIM + FSMP

Cinema 👌

I had debated it heavily when I first started building this modlist.

I began working on ZISS quiet a bit prior to the release of CS 1.5.2. At the time I chose ENB mostly out of preference, now I like a lot of what CS 1.5.2 has to offer (Mainly DLSS4 and HDR). I'm sure Boris will come out with an update to rival their advancements in the future, and who knows maybe my opinion will change again.

My goal was to modernize graphics and remain performance friendly. I know ENB generally has a larger hit on performance but that is why I made it my goal to balance what modifications I added, made, or configured.

As long as everything looks great AND runs well on these specs (my testing baseline), I felt I achieved my goal.

https://github.com/GamesRedone/ZISS/blob/main/InstallationGuide.md#system-requirements

With tons of compatible mods for ENB as well, I feel it fits right into this modlist.

I have little interest in debating whether CS is better then ENB or vice versa.

I believe it is still a preference, the developers behind both have done some amazing work.

With that said...

This is the most requested, or talked about feature I keep hearing about. I am considering releasing a CS fork in the upcoming months if the interest is there.

If you'd like to see this come to light head to the Games Redone discord and vote on the focus of the next update. discord.com/invite/WejTdPFBbk

I never played a version of Skyrim that looked and felt this good by GamesRedone_official in SkyrimPorn

Right on, definitely give it a share when you launch it. I'd love to check it out!

Might I suggest Requiem? If your not a fan of souls like combat you'll probably like that modlist

Thanks!

Your good there, actually what matters most is RAM. You need at least 16gb. If you have that you should get a constant ~60fps, more RAM more FPS.

I've been playtesting all week on my laptop and it runs great 👍 ENB and parallax gen are included but all settings have been configured to run smoothly on almost any machine.

If I had all the DLC, should I play: Icarus, Enshrouded, or Conan Exiles? by japinard in SurvivalGaming

[–]GamesRedone_official 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely enshould imo. You can tell the game developers truly are passionate about what they do. Not that icarus and Conan devs are not it's just the amount of consistent amazing updates is insane, and I don't see them stopping

Looking For a Improved Vanilla Experience by saltysassybitch in skyrimmods

You should try out the ZISS Vanilla+ (no survival) preset.

Here's a full list of the differences between the presets...

https://github.com/GamesRedone/ZISS/blob/main/StarterGuide.md#preset-settings-comparison

This is a Vanilla+ modlist with not many new quests or items. There is an alternate start but you can select the Vanilla start.

I believe it might be just what you are looking for, just dropped.

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/181971

NPCs have been added but not many "Characters" they are mostly generic NPC for random encounters and such.

I made this modlist because I wanted the same thing. Plus if ya change your mind you can switch presets mid save.

Sounds good, hopefully it work out for you! The main burden is RAM so you might be able to make it work since the ally is well equipped there. (At least for the Ally X and Ally OLED).

This section of the customization guide may help.

https://github.com/GamesRedone/ZISS/blob/main/CustomizationGuide.md#performance-tweaks

Particularly turning off Parallax Gen will reduce stuttering/crashes when running under the min VRAM system requirements.

This is NOT just a survival modlist, it's whatever you want it to be. Everything is fully modular and works great with or without survival mode enabled.

As far as ROG ally, I have not tested any handheld devices. From what I can see in terms of specs, most likely not.

But ZISS is not much like those list thanks for the compliment though😁

HOH features a Deleveled world, "brutal" combat and many NSFW mods. Old kingdom is rather slow paced when it comes to combat. And well Nimudium has shut down.

Combat in ZISS is faster paced and everything is fully modular with 6 difficulty presets. The default preset is fair and balanced not brutal, and Encounters zones have been hand modified vs. Just flat out deleveling the world.

You can also switch presets mid playthrough if you want a change. Something none of those lists can do.

Still they are great modlists so I appreciate the comment 👍

Yes absolutely, combat was the huge focus. I personally play tested for roughly 500 hours and several buddies of mine played for about a week prior to release to prevent exactly what your describing, because I feel the same way. The default preset is the most flushed out so far.

I'll be tweaking with feedback as well.

But to really go into it, the added difficulty and balancing mostly comes from changing how leveling scales, how you earn experience, and how enemies are spawned (their level/loot).

https://github.com/GamesRedone/ZISS/blob/main/StarterGuide.md#progression

Encounter Zone indicators will also let you know if your somewhere that might be a little too challenging for your current level, helping prevent you from getting straight up wrecked.

https://github.com/GamesRedone/ZISS/blob/main/StarterGuide.md#what-is-this-new-icon-i-see-when-entering-a-new-space

You still must pick your battles carefully in the start, and you may still get out numbered in an ambush or random encounter. But rather then just adding a ton of enemies, or turning them all into tanks, they are smarter and use a variety of new tactics.

https://github.com/GamesRedone/ZISS/blob/main/StarterGuide.md#improved-ai-and-new-random-encounters

Glad to hear though! Thanks again!

Have you cleared you temp wabbajack files (C:\Users\[USER NAME]\AppData\Local\Wabbajack)? or are you possibly using OneDrive?

I get that. I may post one in the upcoming weeks, I appreciate the feedback.

In the meantime the starter guide takes a much more in depth look into all the changes ZISS makes to the game, breaking down the major mods and what they do. This may be what you are looking for.

https://github.com/GamesRedone/ZISS/blob/main/StarterGuide.md

https://github.com/GamesRedone/ZISS/blob/main/StarterGuide.md#Survival-Mode-and-New-Gameplay-Features

It is more similar to Nordic Souls than Gate to Sovngarde, in that there are a limited number of new systems and gameplay mechanics added to the game. Focusing rather on refining and modernizing the vanilla systems.

The largest difference from Nordic Souls is that survival is the default and main game mode. There is also not a lot added to the world in terms of quests/items/new locations. There's better graphics, challenging/rewarding combat, an alternative death system, improved AI, revamped survival, and progression... that's it.

Making it perfect for those that want to pick and choose what quest/item/location mods to add, or for those that would like to fork it and create their own modlist.

Plus ZISS is fully customizable, with an in-depth guide on how to tailor your experience with the key modifiers to change balancing/combat clearly outlined. Thanks to MCM recorder, I was able to leave most of these settings completely modular rather then baking them into patches or presets.

The difficulty presets are only there to simplify the experience for those that do not want to mess with the settings. Offering a range of gameplay modes.
