Here you go:

Graphics
*skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/8655 <-- Mesh improvement
*skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/193 <-- Glowing Ore veins
*skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/131 <-- FXAA Post injector
*skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/822 <-- Enhanced shaders - ENB
*skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/10383 <-- Better Snow
*skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/1875 <-- Better and realistic lighting effects ( not sure about the compatibility with ENB Shaders)
*skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/280 <-- High quality food :D
*skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/85 <-- Enhanced night
*skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/13268 <-- Better water and terrain elements

Character development
*skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/10168 <-- Better hair styles for you and NPCs
*skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/28363 <-- Better beard :p
*skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/13722 <-- Better eyes

Gameplay (you can install all of these without worrying about the vanilla integrity of the game)
*skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/19733 <-- Immersive armors for you
*skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/27679 <-- Immersive armors for NPCs
*skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/27644 <-- Immersive weapons (fully balanced without breaking the base touch of the game)
*skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/2674 <-- Improved NPC clothing
*skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/3863 <-- Better UI ( a must )
*skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/4929 <-- better world map (again a must have)

NPC (actually females) remodeling
*skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/2666 <-- Better females by CBBE
OR
*skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/6709 <-- Better females by UNP
OR
*skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/2812 <-- Better females by Bella

I'd recommend you CBBE as its compatible with pool of other mods

Any one of them along with all these
*skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/11954 <-- Pretty female idles
*skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/7887 <-- Pretty faces
*skyrim.nexusmods.com/download/63471 <-- Follower better faces

While installing Female mods, Id recommend you to follow this procedure:
-->Female idles-->Pretty faces-->follower faces(overwrite when asked)-->CBBE(dont overwrite face/head files)

Nexus Mod manager will do that for you, just pay attention when it asks you for overwriting


LOL 59!!
Mine is still 17 and i;m at level 16 i guess.... I just cant do pickpocketing successfully :(
and never tried a 0% item attempt

Thief tree?
you mean sneak tree?
Its deadly at later part of the game... you'll see :)


Well I was level 5/6 when I reached Barrow
And since you are a nord, invest Block with Light armor, coz Heavy armor will slow you down and you wont be able to make many power attacks

Check that wall of text i posted above where each race is stated....you'll find Nord too :)

isn't this list a little too old there are various new updated mods can anyone compile list of that.........

I'm downloading mods and this is like going down a rabbit hole. Each mod recommends some other mod and I download it.
I must have downloaded 20gigs in last week.

After seeing some visually modded game screenshots, I feel like going through this again. This time, Im gonna use STEPS.

So, will share some never seen before visually awesome shots in 2 days.

Also, to those guys who recently shared some modded shots, please share which ENB are you using.

For example, awesome shots like these:

Posted some in the Screenshots Channel Tread recently. Post 1042 , 1034.
Using K Enb pure Light. But its an fps killer, usually I get 20-25 fps on GTX 770.
Will be nice to see your screenshots.


I've played almost 15 hours on that K Enb pure Light ENB, so looking out for a change now, I'll probably try Opethfeldt but I've never got it to work so far without the game looking foggy. t

IF you are still having crashes at Solitude (or any major city), that must be because Warzones. I had similar issues, searched it and found that Open Cities and Warzones both are unstable.

-------

And on my side, I am still figuring out the mods. I think I have to try Skyrim 2HD with 4K textures this time coz I felt nothing special in 2K textures. Also 1 question: Im using legendary edition, that means those official Bethesda HD texture pack is also installed. Now when I add unofficial Skyrim2HD textures pack, they are placed below the Bethesda HD pack in load order. Is it ok? I think this is the cause that Im not able to find any major difference in textures.

Also trying different ENBs... from RealVision to Project ENB to RLO to Sharpshooters... Its to believe but I cant find any difference between them. I think Im wrong somewhere.

And immersive mods like Frostfall and/or Hunterborn are making game crash as soon as Alduin shows up during the execution in the beginning and starts spewing fire.

Thanks for that.
Would it be safe to uninstall Warzones after playing for a while with it ? I read that the saves keep on getting corrupt if you uninstall script mods.

btw both the mods are nice.

Using 4K textures & I can definitely see a lot of difference.
From what I've read and saw, the Skyrim 2HD textures from nexus must overwrite the official Bethesda HD texture pack.

Yup, if you remove them now, they will most likely CTD at some point. I think there was a mod to fix that as well but cant remember now.

And regarding HD Tex, So should i reinstall skyrim without Bethesda HD DLC? And then install the one and only Skyrim2HD 4K textures? Or can I do same thing without reinstalling the game?

Also if you need any help, Im following this thread, pretty much everything one needs to know while modding, with mods suggestions as well

HDTex should have the lowest load order among the official dlcs:

To fix load orders use LOOT: Home

Also note, the load order is there so lower load order overwrites higher ones, the lower the load order the later it will be loaded.

Any mod you install modifies your save files permanently, it inserts scripts into them. So yes, even if you uninstall it a rogue script might break you game. If you're playing for first time like me just play with official dlc packs ONLY. Then mod in next playthrough.

There is a save file cleaner out there, search for it, it might help if you want to remove those rogue scripts.

No need to reinstall, Like Tkin said it should have lower load order than the official & it will overwrite.

This is my 2nd playthrough, I used only graphics mods (texture & enb) on my first time. This time I am looking for gameplay changing mods + better graphics of course.

You guys mean that Skyrim2HD pack should be above on list right? I mean above those official DLC? If so, why should I have to install DLC tex if they are going to be overwritten anyways?
