well so much for my mod light playthrough /cough. Here a list of mods I’m using, the modders have been absolutely awesome at getting their mods converted, there are still a couple I’m waiting/hoping for, hopefully soon :) I’m using mostly Nexus for mod management, but a couple of mods only seem to be currently available from bethesda.net.
Almost essential:
– Unofficial Skyrim SE Patch (fixes any bugs)
– Sky UI (not available for SE yet)
– Vampires Suck (stops npcs who can give side quests from dying in vamp attacks… if you like quests, it’s essential ;))
character
– Ethereal Elven Overhaul (makes the elves look less… horrible)
– Total Character Overhaul (not my favourite character overhaul but it’s far better than vanilla!)
– Immersive Armours (not available yet – but adds a ton of fairly lore abiding armour styles)
– KS Hairdos Lite (adds some more hairstyles)
more immersion:
– Darker Nights (makes the nights darker (variable settings – mine is on darkest!)
– iNeed Food / Water / Sleep (you just need to eat, drink and sleep every so often) **
– Longer Days (just makes time go slower… sadly only in game, I lost about 2 hours of real life time earlier
)
– Lampposts of Skyrim (adds lamp posts near habited areas)
– Wearable Lanterns (not available yet handy with Darker Nights)
– Wet and Cold (adds weather effects, e.g. frosty clothes and NPC effects)
– Campfire (adds extra camping type skills and tents)
– Frostfall (adds the danger of exposure) **
– Book Covers Skyrim (gives the books a more varied appearance)
– Northborn Fur Hoods (compatible with Frostfall)
– Relationship Dialogue Overhaul
** if you want more challenge
additional:
– Ordinator Perks of Skyrim (changes up the perk trees)
– Alternate Start (I’ve been through the normal start too many times now, this makes a very nice change)- Dragonborn Bodyguards (adds more male followers)
– Tentapalooza (not available yet – adds more tent styles)
– Unread Book Covers Glow
– Immersive Amazing Follower Tweaks
– Lore Based Loading Screens
– Book Covers Skyrim – Lost Library
