Caves are muddy

I am an avid caver, the underground is a dark and mysterious place full of wonders. But what Skyrim lacks, is proper caves. Ever heard of the Wet and Cold mod? I want to see something similar. But it will instead add mud to the player's feet and legs as they walk around in muddy areas. What about NPCs covered in mud when they drop to the ground? Or when a player / npc gets knocked down, they get back up with mud on the side they fell on. This isn't the most important goal I'd like to see accomplished. Seeing as how difficult it is to create something spanking new. I'm no modder, and I don't have the slightest idea of how to accomplish something like this. Henceforth I decided the Nexus is always growing.

Possible features:
Mud sticking to players / npcs / maybe objects
Footprints
Loss of walk speed, and or ability to sprint (only in muddy areas)
Mud being splatted on screen when you get knocked down.

Caves are beautiful
I also find the caves of Skyrim are lacking formations that are meant for aesthetic value. Sure, we have the stalagmites / tites, and some columns. I want to see things I can see in real life, in Skyrim. Maybe my opinion is a little distasteful, but I honestly can't recall any times that I was astounded by a vanilla cave. They're all just big rocky rooms to me. The problem I usually see is the formations don't have that calcite look. They blend into the rest of the textures and get overlooked completely. IF they're even there.

Possible Features:
More detailed, HR formations, that are placed in areas the player is bound to stumble upon in good lighting. (Maybe in complete darkness but likely to recieve torch / mage light)
Flowstone
Pools (I've been in caves where a downhill section is littered with little pools that fill up from the top to bottom. They can hold water as long as it's being replenished.)
I often see small room connections where it appears to wind around, in perfect shape for someone to walk through: PLEASE make us crouch. Let's go over and under things, walk through narrow passages that can barely allow someone through.
I would also like natural caves to have no sources of light. (Random lit candles / torches / lanterns) The only light should be from entrances, cracks in the ceiling, cave flora, and player / npc torches. This is another thing that may be hard to do, or at least, tedious.

If anyone has more or better ideas, please keep this thread going!
I would be truly excited if someone could revamp the caves of Skyrim.
Bring the game further into the future of gaming.
