xHuda Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Hey guys, I've logged about 100 hours on Skyrim, I've nearly finished all of the main quests/guilds etcPlayed it almost 100% vanilla other than graphics/UI mods. I started trying to select some mods that I'd like to install but there are just so many, so I was hoping you guys might give me a few recommendations on mods you've enjoyed/approve of. I'm looking for mods that add lore-friendly content, without breaking the immersion. Things like weapon/armour packs, quests, monsters, items, buildings etc etc. Cheers. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kraeten Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) If you want a small fortified player abode, I heartily recommend my own Grayhill Keep. It's very lore friendly. When you first discover it in-game it appears derelict. After purchasing the deed however the Keep is restored to full working order. It also features a bard npc and guard followers. If you want a manor, I'd recommend downloading the legend of eagle's nest. Or Cascades. Both were made by Flahoshi, who is pretty much a GOD where interior design is concerned. I really look up to him. For armor I recommend downloading just about everything from FranklinZunge. He's made a lot of ridiculous conan the barbarian style armors look much more believable. I also recommend Witcher 2 Style Dawnguard and Standard Heavy Plate by LordBaraban. Pretty much the best knight style armor in the game IMHO. Then there's the Skyforge shields, Dragonbone Ebonsteel and Skyforge weapons by the very talented Dreogan. Must haves, those three. Aesir and Einerjar are also brilliant nordic armors that are definitely worth checking out. Trollsbane armor is also terrific. I could go on for a little while longer about armor mods. There's a pretty darn good selection by now. For quest mods, definitely try out Moonpath to Elsweyr. It provides a stunning journey!

Nudedragon Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Do you know what you want changed? The game easier, or harder, or just more beautiful? As a user of over 255 mods, I can recommend mods for most occasions, but I got each group for very different reasons. If you like playing werewolves, for example, I'd suggest Tales of Moonlight, Bloodmoon Rising, and Heart of the Beast. If you wanted realism, I'd suggest Frostfall and Realistic Needs and Diseases.

xHuda Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Thanks for the suggestions. Nudedragon, I'm looking for mods that add more content to the game. More things to do, see, kill and collect.However, I would be interested in making the game a bit harder, I maxed smithing/enchanting early and I just basically one shot everything.
