Realistic Skyrim Experience

Thanks for the replies guys! What about "Skyrim Redone"? Is that a mod that would increase realism?

 

Skyrim Redone isn't a realism mod. It's an overhaul mod. Changes the perk trees, adds more perks, increases leveling capacity since it uses the Uncapper, etc. But it's not a realism mod. It makes the game more enjoyable and more difficult though. It's advised to play at Adept difficulty since it's designed for it (but Adept on SkyRe is arguably more difficult than Master without it). I do play it on Expert though.

Skyrim Requiem Overhaul is pretty much the big realism overhaul your looking for. You should really check out that mod.

 

PS: It is HARD, you will die often. You have been warned.

The "Realism Mods" section of Skyrim GEMS has tons of gameplay-enhancing mods, but you can find interesting things in other sections as well.

Other than that, I suggest Automatic Variants - just add a bunch of retextures and avoid this awkward moment when all animals you see look exactly the same. Variety feels good, man.

Not exactly realism persay but you could look into a mod that makes it so you don't actually 'die' when your health reaches zero. I have a mod called Death Alternative - Your Money or Your Life, which makes it so that you go into last stand/bleedout mode when you hit 0 health. You then have bleedout health, and if this is depleted you are 'knocked out' and wake up somewhere else, with practically no health regeneration and restore health effects are much less effective. If you die in this 'near death' state you actually die and must reload. I like it because you can actually be defeated rather than just reloading and trying again. Another cool thing is if you are defeated by bandits they will take some your stuff and you can go back and kill the bandit that finished you off to get your gear back. Being defeated by guards when you have a bounty will get you thrown in jail.

 

You should also look into an injury mod, it compliments the death alternative mod wonderfully. I use one called Kuertee's Battle Fatigue and Injuries. You sustain injuries when you get hit abunch in a short amount of time and you get minor penalties. You can end up with serious injuries if you don't rest and heal your minor injuries. You also get penalizing battle fatigue if you almost die.

 

I use these mods with Frostfall and an Eat and Sleep mod as well, it makes for a much more realistic and immersive experience.
