What would you guys recommend as the best mods to add to a fresh install of Skyrim? I played the original vanilla game for about 100 hours or so and beat it, and then got into playing around with mods back in January. In February, I started using all the STEP 2.0 mods, and the game was AWESOME with that (I thought). However, with ~200+ mods installed, the game just wasn't stable. I got CTDs at least once per half hour. So, I definitely want to heavily mod the game (both gameplay & graphics), but don't really know where to start. What do you think? Ideally, I think I'm looking for 5-20 big mods, rather than dozens of smaller ones, so that I don't have to worry as much about compatibility problems or CTDs. Currently looking at: Skyrim redone Texture pack combiner Static Mesh Improvement Mod Better world map w/roads WATER Project Reality I'm also curious about the Skyrim Monster Mod and/or Wars in Skyrim IV. I had used Wars in Skyrim and remember liking it. I don't like the ENB/injector lighting mods, as I think they mess too much with the aesthetics of the vanilla game. Also don't need the PC UI mods like SkyUI since I play with a controller. Thoughts? (my PC is very high end - 2600k + 7970 CF, if it matters)
