Need help choosing my mods

[ParkShadow]

Hello,

 

Here I read a lot on the site and I started to intall a few mods. But I can be lost in the many things that are possible to change with the mods!

 

I ask for experienced users, what are the essential mods that I have to really take, are they compatible with each other, do I have to install them in a specific order, do all the NMM can install without I do want to edit in the files?

 

Here is what I have chosen:

 

1 - SKSE

2 - SKY IU

3 - 2 K Skyrim HD texture

 

Other suggestions? :

 

1 - I understood that he can still improve graphics with enb? It is compatible with HD 2K?

 

2 - What mods needed to improve the sound?

 

3 - Mods needed to improve the general characters: body, face ... ?

 

4 - Mods needed to improve basic gameplay?

 

You see other mods?

1 - Yes. ENB and textures are two different things, they are, of course, compatible.

2 - That, I don't know. I doubt there are any general sound mods, maybe a few who modifies a particular sound, but that must be it.

3 - UNP, CBBE, Better Males, XCE, lots of choices for that matter. (don't forget to take clothes and armors mods for the body you choose, like UNP female armors in order to have clothes adapted to your custom body).

4 - SkyRE? ASIS? STEP? (I don't know about the last one, as there is no description, it just says "it improves skyrim". What changes does it make? I am supposed to trust his word blindly? No way I'm downloading that. Anyway, it's well rated, so, I put it there)

 

Better males have lots of custom files and no NMM installer, so you should install it manually.

SkyUI and SkyRE have a NMM installer, so I recommend using NMM.

ASIS uses SkyProc and thus, once you have unzipped it (NMM or manually are fine) in your DATA folder, you need to run a .jar file (you need java).

There are no universal must have mods. Everything depends on your preferences and hardware. What are you interesting in? Do you want survival/immersion mods (eat, sleep, drink, cold etc)? Do you want combat, followers mods? Perhaps beast mods (for vampires, werewolves, khajiits or argonians)? Perhaps something about new quest or new locations (dungeons, cities etc)? Or perhaps new spells or homes?

Thank you very much your answer is really relevant!

 

What I like is the challenge.

I do not know that we pouver complicate the game with the fact that we should eat and drink! A mod for that?

 

Survive immersion and yes! I would make the game more difficult.

 

It is possible to transform into a beast? I love it!

 

For the rest I would see as and as I evolve in the game What I do not want is that the game becomes too easy to progressively increase the level, I've heard that c This is the case.
