Most lists out there are rather big with many ways to screw things up for anew modder.

 

One thing to be aware of is that all of the most popular guides on Nexus makes the NPCs and Characters look like teenagers from some asian game, and the landscape and buildings looks like they have been trough 200 instagram-filters. Meaning they take away all the roughness of the vanilla game and make it look like it is on botox So i personal try to avoid most of the graphics part of any guide.

 

The "STEP-crew" who made the famous "STEP" for origainal game is at work with a new one for SE that will (we hope) come this year. That will prolly be the best "core setup" to build your personal mod list around.

Waiting for that i would suggest:

 

The best basic list right now would be Tuco i think and is here on Nexus. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/10694

Pros: Very good base, lot of popular mods in it

Cons: Uses MO2 for management and i prefer Vortex for management.

 

The best guide to really overhaul and improve i think is Lexys LOTD: https://wiki.nexusmods.com/index.php/User:Darkladylexy/Lexys_LOTD_SE

This is rather advanced but will give you so much content and a whole new Skyrim. Installing it takes a lot of time, but you will learn very much about modding. Easy to get help on Discord to.
