[Need Help] Most Immersive Gameplay Possible

[kane480]

Hello Nexus community! I have a somewhat of a challenge/request for all you who are smarter than me when it comes to modding.

 

Don't know if someone has made a topic about this yet, but I was wondering if the geniuses on this site could help me with compiling a list of mods that make Skyrim as close real life (excluding spells and mythical creatures of course) as possible, having everything lore friendly, fixing things Bethesda neglected and forgot, and have everything all compatible with each other and also an appropriate load order for everything. If at all possible, also have them compatible with the following mods which are sort of my "must have" mods and and stuff I've collected that I've come to like. If any of them aren't compatible or conflicts or something else serves their purpose better, please let me know.

Sorry about the long list and that I didn't make them hyperlinks (I might do that at some point and edit the original post), but I would like some expert guidance from the community. I have all the expansions so compatibility should be easier to deal with. Also if some of the mods you guys suggest are from LL, please PM the links to me, I'm not sure if links to that site are allowed here. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

you could try legend of steel i think it's called. has some incompatibilities, but it essentially removes all ingredients after steel so that everyone uses steel weapons and items. i don't think you'll be losing too much since most sword mods place the better looking ones under steel

[kane480]

Interesting, I'll have to check that one out.

All those mods, you must own a pretty nice PC.

 

Real Needs & Diseases (Whatever it's called along those lines) is great.

SkyTEST (Realistic Animals and Predators) changes the behavior and function of the animals. Really good if you're not a constant fast-traveler.

Harvest Overhaul is fantastic for immersion. Never again will you get a single Falmer Ear from a Falmer, never will you get a single Butterfly Wing from a a Butterfly with 2 wings..

Birds of Skyrim could be considered as a minor immersion since the only ones you really see are Roosters(?).

You clearly lack Frostfall.

I have looked at a lot of these mods and I would like to use them, but I thought I'd come on here first and try to establish a good, working, no-conflicts list of mods with an appropriate load order, then apply them to my game, and then start a new game. There's some mods I didn't list (minor retexture stuff, main menu picture and music replacer, and some custom load screens), but with my current loadout I'm having a problem, 99% of the time while I'm in whiterun I get a CTD, any help on that front would be appreciated as well.

Yeah, my PC is a bit above average, but unfortunately with all the mods I have it runs like crap when I try to apply an ENB, tried a few of them and it caused a pretty significant FPS hit.

SkyRe + Frostfall + cloaks of skyrim + winter is coming cloaks + Wet & Cold (With Ashes if you have the require DLC) .. best combination that is a must have to be honest.

Search the Nexus for FPS Limiter, Skyrim Universal 4GB Memory Patch, and then google HiAlgoBoost for performance gain, and check one mod at a time to see what mods conflict and causes the CTD.

I am actually working on such a list called Skyrim Complete Immersion Project. I uploaded the guide to Nexus yesterday. It should be sometime around this weekend.

Remember, the complete guide is in Microsoft Word document that's in the zip file I uploaded.
