LE Recommend me compilation or overhaul mods

[wayyne]

Yep. I re-installed Skyrim yesterday and I really don't feel like having to go through all the countless mini-mods. Something of a compilation would be highly appreciated.

 

I own all the DLCs and I'd say my computer should be able to handle just about everything performance wise if that helps.

 

Thanks in advance.

Compilations aren't allowed on the Nexus, AFAIK. Edited September 14, 2014 by Matthiaswagg

AFAIR project S.T.E.P. aims to be one. Still you need to go through their instructions, though.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg of mods you could try.

As for ENBs you can try: I would start with realvision ENB, it has a performance version and it has a very good guideline on the modpage.
