I also wanted to say that you, @drsemmel, and @AaronOfMpls,  have been of great help, and I appreciate it! Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️

Aww, glad to be of help! 😎

Though one other thing:  I don't think you asked about it, but if you ever want a DLC delayer, or just want to put off certain quests, I recommend Timing is Everything, which lets you change the level requirements -- and some other requirements -- for various quests.

Where did you find that mod?

The mods in question qualify as Adult mods. The fundamentals of adult mods are on Nexus Mods (Ostim Standalone and its supporting mods as well as most animations related to it. But most adult quest mods, such as Ravanous, Prison Alternative, its related executions, the furnitures that go with them and the like are on Loverslab. However, adult mods are the most difficult to install, and using Loverslab to find let alone install stuff is ridiculously difficult.

I suggest continue doing as you are using exclusively Nexus Mods and getting to where you're very happy both with your stability and feature support. At some point (don't even think about it now), if you want to explore more mods on the Adult spectrum, and if you have a working Ostim Standalone and the like, you can explore the other site. Keep in mind that in general anything which says SexLabs is in conflict with Ostim Standalone. You'll be asking for trouble and grief if you try to mix SexLab mods with Ostim mods. It's somewhat possible, but I don't recommend it.

Post Script for clarification: I use Ostim Standalone, and I use Ravenous and Prison Alternative and its execution stuff, through Ostim Standalone. Initially I had installed SexLab stuff, and I went through countless weeks of grief trying to get those mods off my system so I could go back to a Stable Ostim Standalone build which I both like better and which looks better on animations. The Sexlab stuff is in general much older. I've read some forum posts that there's something in the works to replace Ostim Standalone, but I don't bother with that.

Post post script: I do have at least one friend who uses the Sexlab mods, so it's obviously an option. What I specifically caution you against is trying to use both Ostim and Sexlab as your primary interface. When installing adult mods, you can do one or the other. Once I finally got the Sexlab stuff off my mod list (which as I said was tough), I was able to install a mod which tries to intercept sexlab calls and send them to Ostim so I can use some quest mods intended only for Sexlab, but it's not completely reliable. It's much easier to use just one.

I would recommend to keep looking for hair/skin/body mod, your character sadly kinda look a bit like Play Doh/Oldrim on the screenshot compared to the armor

 

There are physic enabled hairstyle if you wanna add an extra touch

 

Outside of that 2-3 mods I highly recommend that affect movement and traversal (for sky climb check comment or you will crash opening menus, its a requirement that needed for another so I don't really count it as mod)

Yes animated traversal is a huge improvemnt and once you get used to it, you´d never want to play without it.
Besides, there are more and more dungeon-/new land-/ and questmods that utilize EVG - the first one was  SIRENROOT - Deluge of Deceit by Everglaid (the author of EVG btw.).
Sirenroot is a great, very well made Quest with puzzles, a beautiful dungeon (lots of climbing ^^) and player choice.

I've looked into adult mods, and Sexlab seems incredibly complicated. There seem to be multiple variations of it, but mods that are compatible with multiple? Also, if you're someone like me who doesn't know how those things work, people will treat you like you're stupid for not knowing how those things work? Seriously, what's the point of asking for help if people are going to act like that? Some of those mods' descriptions don't tell you if they're compatible with the version of Skyrim you play on.

Sexlab is terribly complicated. At risk of being offensive to people who like it, I just don't like it. I find Ostim Standalone much more user friendly, and most of the mods for it are here on Nexus Mods which also makes it more user friendly.

I'll be back in a bit with some suggestions on skin. Don't worry about what others say about your character. She's beautiful. Some people are simply too caught up in thinking everyone should follow their point of view on aesthetics.

Not really I play argonians and use argonian overhauls mods so not really what you're looking for, usualy people use CBBE body (or the 3BA version if you want physics enabled) with a compatible skin

 

Well one mod you will defo need is High poly head, should be a google drive hosting it as the main website that host it (vector plexus) seems unusable unless it got fixed since

I use tempered skins for cbbe: Tempered Skins for Females - UNP CBBE and Vanilla

CotR patched version of tempered skins

tempered skins for cbbe

My favorite hair mods are from [Dint999] - you have to google - she has a patreon, but the hair is for free.
Physics enabled KSKairdo are also nice (I use it mainly for npc replacers)

True, but once you got it running, it runs incredibly stable and handles heavily scripted mods with ease. But Ostim seems to be the future (everything that is new, is made for Ostim).
