Are there any good alternatives to skyrim redone?

I've used it for a while now, but it has such a big footprint and causes conflicts with too many cool mods. It rescales weapons and armor so any mod that adds those is unusable (except for a handful that have compatibility patches), it totally reworks the perks so any mod that is tied to the vanilla perks is out, etc. But if I got rid of it I would have to go back to vanilla perks, and they tend to suck. Especially the perks in lockpicking, speech, and pickpocketing. Is there any other mod that fixes the boring/useless perks without making a ton of mods incompatible?

It's easy (albeit time consuming) to make compatibility patches for weapons using TES5Edit if all you need is to change the weapon damage. As for perk mods, Sushisquid has a modular 'Tree Balance' mod series.

Have you heard of the Patcher?

With that you don't need any compatibility patches, as you can generate them automatically with that tool.

I'd recommend that.

I've made some changes to the Lockpicking and Pickpocket tree in Stealth Skills Rebalanced. I'm currently working on some additional features for this mod and will probably add a few more perks to these trees in future updates.

 

Along with this, I use Balanced Magic, certain parts of ACE, and a few of Sushisquid's mods. His Speech Tree is one of the more creative and useful (depending on your character) reworkings of that tree that I've seen. And I think I'm currently using the Alchemy module from Path of Shadows, a mod which also provides another alternative to the Sneak tree.
