is there a demo available for this somewhere, I'm a big fan of Civ but HoMM has been really hit or miss for me, so I'd like to try this before I drop cash on it

Just wanted to react on that. Don't install mods manually, if you don't know how to revert it, use NMM, it will allow you to uninstall any mod you installed with it, enabling you to easily revert to a clean skyrim in case you break anything. You can even install SKSE with it, although it's not really a mod. yeah I have been using NMM, wasn't worried as much about the mods as i know those are for the most part separate entities from the game, wasn't as sure about the script extenders and such however

thanks for the responses, and yeah SkyUI was pretty much the main one I wanted that called for SKSE along with a better favorites menu one, the games default UI just screams that it was built for consoles and ported to PC rather than the opposite, main thing i wanted that called for Script Dragon was one that let you dual cast magic with only 1 key press as I've found I have problems hitting both mouse buttons in sync and moving my mouse to re aim at moving targets while holding down both buttons and no apparent way to map that to a key on it's own

Ok so finally got Skyrim (yay steam summer sale) and am looking at mods for it, and some of them that I want say they require script extenders, SKSE and Script Dragon are the 2 I've seen, so what are they/do they actually do? and as a secondary question since different mods specify different ones do they work together, or does 1 do the job of both and if so which is better? asking before I get too into downloading mods since I'd rather not have to redownload skyrim because I broke something
