Skyrim Requiem: building the ultimate playthrough.

[DragonMasterChief]

So I've been playing Skyrim for years, and I'm pretty adept at modding. I've finally reached the point where I have no limits in terms of GPU, RAM, or CPU power (at-least for Skyrim) and I was thinking to myself the other day, "hmmm Skyrim's looking a bit.. grey" and I went down to Nexus Mods and got myself Realvision enb. It looked way better, but the combat was still bland, and it felt rather blocky and old still. After searching on google for a while I found a lot of mods like Revenge of the Enemies, Deadly Combat, and Duel Combat realism, but then I found Requiem. I had never seen a mod quite like this. It changed the entire game, and felt more like the brainchild of some D&D tabletop champion than a Bethesda title. It was settled. I was going to build the ultimate Hardcore Skyrim Experience... until i started having mod conflicts, unresponsive ai, lag spikes, and enemies with more HP than Alduin on Legendary.. This is where you guys come in, I need your advice of which mods work with requiem, which don't, what to install before, and after Requiem, what Load order should be used, (LOOT doesn't work with Requiem), and I hope that in the end, we can all have a source of information on how to best use this mod.

Currently, I am experimenting with these mods:

I don't want to dampen your enthusiasm for doing it yourself (I'm partial to it myself), but are you aware of:

 

Ultimate Skyrim

 

and

 

Legacy of the DragonBorn Reqtified

 

and

 

Requiem addon pack to STEP: Extended

 

Even if you don't want to use their curated modlists, I'm sure there's a lot you could glean from their modlists in terms of compatibility. Keen to see how you go. :)
