For anyone looking to create a Dark Fantasy Skyrim, these are the Mods I have found in my searches to create such, I hope it's helpful for you :smile: Ambience: Authentic Mountains and Rocks Bells of Skyrim (plays nice with JK's Towns and Cities) Beyond Reach Dark Anchor Ruins and Dolmens Dark Forests of Skyrim (there is also a patch for Beyond Reach) Dark Skyrim Overhaul - Bleak Falls Barrow Dolmen Ruins Draugr True Decay (I would have preferred something wetter looking, but it's not available) Enhanced Blood Textures Flying Crows Gallows of Skyrim Improved Water Performance (light weight water Mod) Justice Lanterns of Skyrim II Mundus Stones Mythical Tundra No Vanilla Trees (leave the Marshlands vanilla for a truly claustrophobic feeling if using The Marshlands Mod also) Nordic Ruins Northern Grass Oblivion Gates Oblivion Gates Remade Obsidian Weathers and Seasons Poison Blooms (they're deadly, recently watched one kill a Werewolf) Public Executions Sadistic Silver Hands Sami Hut (not really dark, but rugged enough for this kind of play through) Shreks Swamp House (don't knock it until you see it :smile: ...and where it sits, is cruel to get to if you don't fast travel and use The Marshlands Mod) Skyrim Battle Aftermath Skyrim Unhinged Skyrims Dead Storm Lightening (set it to deadly to give you something else to worry about :smile:...) Supreme and Volumetric Fog Technicolor Alchemy Overhaul The Marshlands True Storms Unique Dragon Priest Masks Windy Grass Sounds: Bow Before the Dead Remastered Dormant Gargoyle Sounds Remastered Falmer Sounds Remastered Fantasy Soundtrack Hypertrichosis Werewolf Sounds Remastered Immersive Dragon Sounds Remastered Monsters: Anything MiHail (I use a number of them) Player Character Options as dark as the world around him/her: Clean Up Your Corpses Dirt and Blood Heart Breaker Killmove Maximum Carnage Sneak Tools VioLens I RP a born Werewolf who only eats Humanoid Flesh as Wolf or Man, both raw and cooked: Bosmeri Cuisine Fluffy Werewolf Retexure Hunterborn Forbidden Prey (there is also Forbidden Luxury if you don't want to use Hunterborn) Start Game Monsters Underworld Werewolf (let Fluffy Werewolf overwrite) ENB: Ominous ENB

I would suggest looking at the screen shots people have taken of their Games and if you see anything you like, ask the poster about it, what Mods they're using, etc...

Personally I like Isran, though I certainly understand your perspective, he is everything you say he is. I have never been a Vamp fan, when it comes to beasties I'm Werewolf all the way, as such I haven't had to deal with Isran's disparity in regards to his behaviour towards DovaVamps, thus he doesn't gall me as he would do Vamp fans. But yes the whole of the Dawnguard DLC is a railroading very poorly put together addition, an extremely poor offering for a supposed RPG. Serana is the burr in my side in the Dawnguard DLC, the Whining Waifu you have to apparently befriend and immediately trust with no good reason, then babysit through most of the DLC, no matter your Role Play or side you choose. Though I do think it's a little unfair to single Isran out in regards to his lack of interest in any other going's on in Skyrim/Tamriel, as that is pretty much every NPC in Skyrim, unless they are directly involved in a particular Quest Line there is very little if any reference to anything else happening in Skyrim/Tamriel. You have nailed why I do not join any of the Gulids, or the College (I get my Lycanthropy from Mods). Modder's have been able to fix a few Guild issues, like 'Pentitus Oculatus', 'Destroy the Thieves Guild' and 'Enter the College of Winterhold without Joining', all of which I use for a better Game play, I think there's also one that doesn't force you to become a Werewolf with the Companions... but yes, vanilla game wise, they all have the same problems and Modder's can only do so much and there are just way too many problems with Dawnguard I think for the talented Modders to be be able to fix much at all.

Would this help? Talkative Dragons ( https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/26955 )

I have tried time and time again to Mod, but my attempts keep going south on me, I'm a failure at modding :P ...I got lucky with the little house I use though, I have the Mod Wintersun also, it's an Aedra/Daedra worship Mod (not bad benefits) and the god my Dovah worships happens to have had it's Alter right next to my Dovah's little house, so I can't complain :)

I'm glad you found one you like :) ...Yes., it can be a challenge finding just the right home for RP

H Hahaha ...yes, that has happened on occasion lol... though my Dovah has found a way to repay her kindness, I use Ordinator and so my Dovah drops tripwires behind himself, I can't count how many times Serana has hit those tripwires and gone flying down cliff sides, off ledges, etc... :D

T Thank You :)

seen it lol

That would be awesome, thank you thumbincupation :)

Beats the hell out of killing them, that being the only Mod available apparently... I recently got hit twice in two small cell areas with them, too small for expanded radius to work and the thought struck me that I'd love to give those brats a good clip under the ear.

It all depends on how small and simple you want to go? I personally use Tristan's Shack ( https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/22585 ) and Sami Hut ( https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/30005 ) Also love this one, though I can't use it due to other Mods I have, don't laugh at the name, check it out first :) ...Shrek's Swamp House ( https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/18382 ) And then there is Hidden Hideouts, I don't know it very well, just noticed it on my Mod hunts ( https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2625 )

Tristan's Shack...Rustic, cozy, hidden away, beautifully done, perfect for my Dovah :) https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/22585 And Sami Hut...and other Rustic, cozy little gem :) https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/30005

Hello, is there a Mod that stops Serana from bumping the Dovahkin around the place when his not moving or in dialog with an NPC? Also one that stops her idle behavior, just have her stand still like every other follower?

Hello, does it annoy you as much as me the children's dialog in game? Rude, horrible little creatures. I would love nothing more than to be able to put these brats in their place, a Gibbs Slap would be epic, or at the very least a chiding, with these kids reacting contritely to either and from then on shutting up and staying away from your Dovah. Would that be possible please?
