Suggestions for realistic hardcore-survival gameplay

[Magvedo]

Hi,

I'd like to throw some mods together which would provide me the feel of being really "alone" in a war-torn, cruel land, and would provide challenging environment with a lot of things to consider.

 

I'm a warrior / archer type of guy preferring playing in unleveled world, so for combat overhaul, I'd use Duke Patrick's Heavy Weapons Combat Mod. Apart from the it's obvious sword fight changes, there is this "Logical health" feature, which is about giving restriction to creature's health based on their type / size. This way I can prevent immersion breaking 1000+ HP bandits and such. If you guys know any other Mod that aims for the same as this particular feature, please let me know.

 

So, I'm looking for survival-oriented mods which are compatible with the one mentioned above (and with each other) and covering the following areas: needs (eating, drinking, sleeping), economy (I don't want to see Daedric greatswords at a villager blacksmith, if you know what I mean), encumbrance (realistic weight limit, like around 100, and if possible, reduce movement speed based on how much loot I'm carrying) and finally unleveled world so enemy types and loot are not based on my level, and possibly making high grade equipment extremely rare.

 

Any suggestions? Anyone playing with similar preferences?

 

Thanks in advance!

Frostfall-http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/11163- a mod that adds effects from the cold, from a stats hit to death by frigid water.

 

Imp's complex needs- http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/10639 - A need for food, drink etc

 

Morroloot- http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/19416 - Better loot placement, and more realistic crafting, ie you cant buy a deadric sword from blacksmiths.

 

Also WARZONES- http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/9494 - It adds battles, imperial vs stormcloaks all around the world.
