Must-Have Mods

Hi Guys,

I played Skyrim (both vanilla and heavily modded) until about half a year ago, but then i got bored and moved on.

I bought recently a completely new pc and i wanna come back to skyrim. Now I'm looking for really well done

mods of those categories:

 

Weapons and Armors: Can be both fantasy Weapons (from other games, anime/manga, movies) and realistc Weapons (= dont have to be lore friendly), they should be added to leveld-lists (found from chests/monsters), well balanced (not overpowered, not easily/early available if strong) and good looking in general.

 

Magic/Enchantments: Mods that add a big variety of spells in all schools or new Enchantments, should be well balanced too (balanced mana cost/effect and availability(school lvl, mana consumption) or balanced Enchantment effect), awesome presentation/graphic wouldn't hurt either.

 

Graphic overhauls: I Remember having tried some Texture-replacers and ENB's but i didn't really find what i was looking for, a mod combination to make it look as realistic as possible

 

Dungeons: I used a few Dungeon-Mods but they werent so great, just corridors to rooms with enemys and chests, Hope anyone knows some really well done Dungeon-Mods

 

Monsters: Mods that add a variety of new monsters or variations of existing Monsters (wouldnt add this point here, if Skyrim Monster Mod would still be available, but its under moderation)

 

Combat(-Overhaul): I know i used SkyRe, but maybe someone knows a better Mod/Overhaul that has been released since then.

 

Quests: Didnt find too much Quest Mods half a year ago, hope there are some good ones now.

 

Races: Same as Quests, didnt find that great mods back then. Should be balanced too and maybe offer some new mechanic like transforming (something like the dlc transformations: vampire(-Lord)/werewolf)

 

 

Mods i used to play with:

 

Midas Magic, SkyRE, Phenderx Magic, Apocalypse Spells, Be a Better Mage, Zigurt88's (?) Transformation spells, Art of Necromancy, PJ's Spells, Bleach Overhaul, jaysus swords, Weapons of Third Era, Dread Knight Set, WoW- Weapons Pack, Frostmourne Sword, Dragonbone Weapons,

 

Thats all i can think of now. Im really thankful for every suggestion. Please excuse bad spelling/grammar.

If anyone thinks I'm letting you guys do all the work for me, I'm sorry that it looks this way,

but I'm actually asking what Mods of those categories you use/recommend. Especially because i only know the mods that are older than half a year.

Here, insaneohflex made this list :D

 

 

Woah, I loved that list!

 

Thanks for sharing.

 

 

One thing...

 

Does anyone have an opinion about Climates of Tamriel?

 

For what I understand CoT is an all-in-one mod... as in.... adjust Light, has proper ENBs and adjust the weather system.

 

I'm buying I pretty nice computer, and until now, I have never used any graphics enhancing mods (I play my skyrim with everything on low hahah) ... So I really don't know much about these mods.

 

I want to try a very heavy but sweet graphical enhancing combination. But I want to be safe of compatibility issues... that's why Climates of Tamriel seemed really attractive to me.

 

 

Does anyone have any suggestion? Or opinions ...

^ I vastly favour Realistic Lighting with Customisation. The nights are realistically dark, and CoT, in my opinion, looks too washed out. Also try IMAGINATOR visual control (compatible with just about everything) and, if you like, an ENB of your choice (I dislike ENBs - finicky to install/uninstall, performance impacting, and often incompatible with other mods.)

 

Must-Haves:

 

Deadly Dragons

Deadly Dragons - Armoury

ATTK SKSE Power Loader

aMidianborn Book of Silence

IMAGINATOR

Realistic Lighting with Customisation

Benjamin318's Realistic Rocks and Mountains in Skyrim

 

Recommended:

Better Females (faces mod, not a nude/skimpy mod)

Dragonbone Ebonsteel Armour

I'll try giving a shot with ENBs, I never tried them before, but if I face any incompatibility I'll definitely share the same opinion as you.

 

 

I noticed the Superb ENB has built-in the RLwC you like.
