Syn's AE Visual Overhaul / Mod List Update v1.08

Update 1.08 brings bunch of new updates, and is medium to large sized compared to the previous updates.
I figured I make this update a little larger than usual due to 1 month inactivity, as I was dealing with some real life obstacles.
I do prefer smaller updates as previously stated, in order to test everything and make sure it's all working well without issues, but this time around 1.08 will be larger, and will go through multiple mini update iterations.
Update is primarily focused ...

New ENB Preset For Visual Overhaul 2022 (Pi-Cho ENB - Syn's Edit)

The visual overhaul 2022 has been using FNENB Preset with personal tweaks for a decent period of time, however, FNENB being probably the best ENB for Special Edition as far as presenting fantasy exteriors, has a few minor issues that I couldn't address or fix myself. These issues are not intrusive to your gameplay 99.9% of the time, but ...

Syn's AE Visual Overhaul / Mod List (Grass Update) v1.07a

Update v1.07a is a revision on flora of Skyrim.
While Northern Grass and Veydosebrom combo look great, I personally tend to swap grass mods very frequently, as there is always a biome or a region that I was unhappy with, no matter the choice.
This issue has been finally allevia...

Syn's AE Visual Overhaul / Mod List Update v1.07

Update v1.07 brings bunch of new additions to the mod list, from small visual changes, original game bug fixes, lighting fixes and additions, all the way to heads up display and interface changes.

I've also decided not to make the update as big as I originally planned, as smaller / incremental updates allows me to carefully test between each release, before moving to additional changes. This makes it more likely for me to spot any potential issues, and fix them as soon as they are locat...

Combat Overhaul Guide & Visual Overhaul Update v1.1

Hello guys,

Just wanted to notify you that I am currently in the process of finalizing my Elden Ring Combat video, and that the plans to release a 1.1 update to the visual overhaul come shortly after, as well as additional bonus of a full set up for 2 different combat overhauls I've compiled in the past.

I know that the posts have been lacking in the month March, as I've been dealing with certain real life obstacles, but April will be filled with Patreon exclusive benefits, to m...

I am super stoked to announce that after careful consideration, and help for some of my moderators and community members, we've come to a decision to provide a fully fledged guide of the installation process for a #visual overhaul.
This guide is a complete 181 page google document that covers all aspects, necessary and optional steps to take full advantage of the said #visual overhaul, and covers everything, from basic tips and starti...

Thank You. Future Plans & More.

Hi guys,

I just want to briefly make a post thanking you for your continuous support.
Not only have we reached 50K subscribers on the YouTube channel, but I've also received tremendous amount of support here on Patreon as well.
Now, I am aware some of you are here because you are specifically interested in expanding the visual mod list, rather than anything else, and that's completely fine and understandable.
It would be delusional from me not to acknowledge this fact, but kno...

Syn's AE Visual Overhaul Update v1.06

This update is small, as it does not add new mods (except for 1), but it is important for future proofing, as this mod list gets expanded, since we are finally able to update the game to the latest version 1.6.353, due to all utilities and scripts that the mod list currently utilizes being updated as well.


Changelog:

- Updated the game via Steam to the latest 1.6.353 version.

- Updated the Skyrim Script Extended to 2.1.5 version to match the updated game version...

Syn's AE Visual Overhaul Update v1.05 (Distant Terrain Overhaul)

This particular update will focus on minor fixes to iron out some issues I've come across from testing, and major overhaul and improvement of distant terrain and LODs.
Keep in mind that with this update we are not done improving the distant terrain, as there are few more things that are possible to make it better, but few scripts are not updated for the Anniversary Edition of the game, especially now that BGS had updated the game once again.

Changelog:

- Adde...

Syn's AE Visual Overhaul Update v1.03

- Added a separator for scripts, utilities and core files.

- Moved DynDOLOD Resources v2.88 all the way to the top of the Textures & Meshes section.

- Updated few mods to newest versions, as they come with fair amount of new plugins and patches...

Syn's AE Visual Overhaul Update v1.02

Changelog:

- Changed 1 separator title from "Lighting" to "Lighting and Water".

- Moved Water mods to the newly created section for proper overwriting and mod priority.

- SKSE Version 2.1.3 and the game itself remained unchanged due to few mods requiring updates.

- Few load order changes to prioritize meshes and textures I personally find more aesthetically pleasing.

The update seems small, but it's actually quite large due ...

Syndra Darkrose Follower (Early Access) (Work In Progress) - Update v0.5

Hello everyone,

Syndra Darkrose as a follower has received an update.

Changelog:

- As I am currently still working on a background story and the her involvement in the lands of Tamriel, her implementation is still simplistic, but from a technical side, she has gotten a few improvements as well as a combat approach & style that will tie directly to the developing story.

- Syndra's role is a tank / support, with specialization in one - handed weaponry and well as...

Syndra Darkrose Follower (Early Access) (Work In Progress)

Hello everyone,

Currently I am working on turning my preset used in my videos into a fully fledged follower for supporters of the channel.
This preset has become an avatar of my channel throughout the year and 2 months of its existence, and it took me hundreds of hours of fine tuning to create what it is today.
It's not for everyone due to her non - lore friendly aesthetics, but it's not a secret that I prefer my characters and NPCs overly good looking.

Please not...

Syn's AE Visual Overhaul Update v1.01

- Moved High Poly Project, Stunning Statues Of Skyrim and JS Shrines Of The Divines to have higher loading priority compared to the new miscellaneous textures added with this update.
