google best skyrim mods find some examples and information, I use about 90 mods a peak game experience. There are many you want smim I would says all the unofficial patches, sound overhauls, vivid has some good ones, CCO immersive armours, glowing books unread, falskaar, wrymstooth is excellent, glowing ore veins, immersive creatures I believe, deadly dragons for sure, bellyaches creature textures, maps, extra quests, markers of various sorts, check armours the best, check the top files, sometimes I subscribe to premium and check the top 400 files for downloads, have 588 hours in playing though, I got really caught up in the game. I would avoid Unofficial DLC content optimized unless you have a weaker system I think, others might disagree though...by why reduce any visuals if you don't have too?? floral overhaul too...various water and ice there are 2 or 3 really good ones, I think climates of Tamariel is popular, I always used it. Good luck best game ever.....
