I was when I was trying out the mods. On the 4th I'll have my Skyrim Legendary copy, so I won't be anymore. It's 3:13 AM here, so I'm going to bed. I'll be back before noon!

Bought Skyrim a few months after release, put 200 hours into it on PS3, reached Paarthurnax. At the time, I had some preoccupations and I never got back into the Skyrim groove and never tried any of the DLC. I'll admit that I "acquired" a PC version to check out the modding scene, and it's even better than Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Still, even after checking out ENBs and UNPs, I just couldn't get into it...but now...Legendary edition is coming, and I have it and the hardcover guide pre-ordered. Oblivion GOTY gave me close to 700 hours of entertainment on the 360 for $20, and I intend to prepare Skyrim for a similar life draining experience. I've read and briefly used S.T.E.P and G.E.M.S, but that was pre-dragonborn and before I really cared about 100% functionality, clean installs, proper mod management and everything else. Once I get Skyrim again, I want to get as close to the "perfect" gameplay experience as possible. Lore-friendly in a general sense; No lasers or ponies. My rig can handle any mod and manage to keep the game at least playable, but I'm not looking for extreme super ultra 20,000 x 20,000 textures. Using S.T.E.P taught me that Medium, Lite and Performance are all fantastic improvements over Vanilla, and that Ultra and High are by no means necessary for drastic improvement. I'm aware of G.E.M.S and S.T.E.P. I'm looking for mods to install that will work with all the content Skyrim has to offer, from when I create my character to when I decide that I am "done" the game. I'm aware of aMiridian's work, body replacements (although they appear to be a lot more complicated than just choosing one), a lot of the "Better X" mods which are all great, and various texture replacers, SkyUI and a handful of others from the top 100 of all time. What I'm looking for is some simple guidance. What works well for someone who wants to sink a LOT of time into a single character, for someone that doesn't necessarily need massive textures but appreciates well done texture replacements, someone who is finally ready to do some reading to make sure everything works properly? I understand that a lot of this is vague, and I understand that pirates are less than welcome in Bethesda communities. Please, be as direct as possible when asking questions. I'm finally paying for the game once again, and I'm looking to you guys to help me out with augmenting my gaming experience. Here's a corgi catching a snowball. http://i.imgur.com/nxOjvUL.gif

Hello Nexus Forum peeps. Now I'm not very clear with the protocol here, I spend most of my time on MMO-Champion. If I'm violating any forum rules or anything, don't hesitate to get upside my head about it. I've finally acquired a card that has enabled me to expand the potential games that I can run, an Asus HD 7850. I've been dabbling here and there and at one point I just grabbed the mod manager and downloaded close to 200 mods. Needless to say, there were many CTDs, too many to get past character creation. Here's the list of mods I downloaded. There was a lot of cool stuff and things that I imagine would be amazing, but of course I never got the chance to play with any of them. I'm wondering if there's something like a "best-of" pack, or some awesome collab between mod creators. If not, I'd appreciate it if someone could point me in the direction of a compilation of some awesome mods that actually work together. Also, how do I know what kind of load order to use? I read things on specific mods like "put this below that, and above this if it's installed, otherwise forget about it", but with so many mods...how am I supposed to know what to do and what conflicts? I get that this is a pretty tall order, and to be honest, I'm not expecting any useful replies...but might as well try, right? If you have any info that could help me out, or if you need some more context, just post a reply! Thanks.
