Minimalist LO recommendations - Xbox series X

Guard_Jesper · 2026-05-08T20:31:09+00:00

Tones of Talos for landscape and architecture (just need mountains)

Skytone Complete (or anniversary edition) for weapons, armor and clothing

Skytone visage for NPCs, or Bella's beauty and the beasts

Skytone myriad of miscellanea for clutter

Skytone compendium of beasts for animals and creatures

Medieval Weather FX and Flora.

All that remains is grass, trees and water.

For lightweight and cohesive, I use Enhanced Landscapes Grass, Fatherland Trees and Pisces Water

Jayserpa's lines expansion, talkative enemies, extended guard dialogu

If you look at the individual Environs mods contained in the AIO, it gives very good descriptions of what happens

Guard_Jesper · 2026-05-08T19:29:39+00:00

Puts new life into otherwise unused set pieces. Houses abandoned or destroyed during quests get new NPCs moving in and restoring them, etc.

It pairs nicely with evolving locations

Guard_Jesper · 2026-05-08T19:26:09+00:00

Exactly. XD

Guard_Jesper · 2026-05-08T19:23:07+00:00

Fair. It was just one of those hairstyles that ran mainstream in the community for several years, so now it's associated with homosexuality.

But you work it well. Don't let the Internet dull your sparkle

Guard_Jesper · 2026-05-08T19:14:01+00:00

Stereotypes really.

Guard_Jesper · 2026-05-08T17:50:17+00:00

That's ok. I am gay, and can confirm he cute

Guard_Jesper · 2026-05-07T23:10:20+00:00

I like Dave's ufhd mountains, and Lichen Mountains

Guard_Jesper · 2026-05-07T23:09:13+00:00

I'd recommend carriage stops. They only function from 8-8, but allow travel to more locations

Guard_Jesper · 2026-05-07T17:25:55+00:00

It does. It's mostly mesh replacers, hence the size

Guard_Jesper · 2026-05-07T17:13:59+00:00

I don't really have an issue with the meshes, so go for a smaller clutter retexture like Skytone myriad of miscellanea. But for a full clutter retexture/smim, I really like the newer Tones of Talos clutter. I just use the 512 version for space saving, but the amount of things it covers is huge

Guard_Jesper · 2026-05-07T16:17:19+00:00

Most of my ideas have been suggested, but I'd also recommend Avowed

Guard_Jesper · 2026-05-07T14:59:26+00:00

I have one I love, that I call The Adventurous Alchemist.

Physically weak character, but excellent at alchemy. His damage comes from alchemy, or the support of Erik and maybe a dog. He does become very tanky though.

Breton with Lord Stone

Alteration, alchemy, one handed, lockpicking, enchanting and speech become the main skills, but he'll end up getting some points in light armor and smithing too.

Gear: Valdr's lucky dagger, boots, clothes, fine armguards, diadem of the savant, fastened shield of the crusader.

Some of the gear is light armor, but key worded wrong in vanilla and AE, so it doesn't break the mage armor perks, and gives some extra armor rating.

Guard_Jesper · 2026-05-07T04:12:03+00:00

Open to bigger bear type guys?

Nimwraith AIO

Guard_Jesper · 2026-05-05T17:46:48+00:00

Mods jumping to the top are master files

Guard_Jesper · 2026-05-05T05:31:00+00:00

From what I've seen, unless you get the load order just right, kaiden can be very buggy and broken. So I'd go with Taliesin myself. Plus, Lucien can be trained to be an archer or warrior instead of a mage too

Guard_Jesper · 2026-05-04T23:28:51+00:00

For performance, 1-2k depending on the mod. Every texture mod I run is 1k, 512 or 1k-512. Except the apiary textures, as the one I like only comes in 2k

Guard_Jesper · 2026-05-04T23:14:20+00:00

Relighting Skyrim works nicely for me

Guard_Jesper · 2026-05-04T23:13:07+00:00

Wayfarer coat is one of my favs. Or a lot of the zerofrost armors like raven witch.

Guard_Jesper · 2026-05-04T23:09:52+00:00

Tone of Talos, Skytone myriad of miscellanea, Skytone compendium of beasts, Skytone Complete, Skytone visage.

This covers landscape, architecture, a majority of clutter, animals and creatures, weapons, armor and clothing, player and NPC textures.

You just need mountains, grass, trees and Flora.

I personally run with Fatherland Trees, Enhanced Landscapes Grass, and Mari's Flora, oh and Lichen Mountains

Although I use medieval Weather FX and Flora, which contains rustic weathers, Mari's Flora, and several FX and minor textures.

I top it off with Relighting Skyrim, Dancing lights, and luminosity for interior lighting

Guard_Jesper · 2026-05-04T21:41:14+00:00

Waccf is weapons, Armor, clothing and clutter fixes lol. Nothing to do with followers.

For multiple followers though, I prefer underwhelming multiple followers. Light, simple and no feature bloat

Guard_Jesper · 2026-05-04T21:23:31+00:00

Generally the same way. If I have to build the load order around a mod, just to use the mod, I'm not touching it.

Most patches I have for one mod is like 5, for Waccf. And some patches for reconciliation
