Overview
This guide will help you go back to the day when you first played skyrim and found it new and great. Most mods listed here will help increase immersion and create a better overall experience for the game!** This guide is being updated as much as possible with any mods I have missed out. Feel free to leave a comment if you feel as if I have missed anything **
Mod Info
** If you dont already have Mod Organiser or LOOT, install that and it will stop your game from crashing **
*Joy of Perspective Bug* – Most non vanilla armour mods will not work with Joy of Perspective and cause your characters body to be invisible when you look at it in first person
Beyond Skyrim Bruma – A massive expansion mod for skyrim.
Unofficial SSE Patch – Fixes many in game bugs.
Vivid Weathers – adds immersive weathers to the game.
ENB Preset or Reshade – I use SkyrimSE Re-Engaged but there are many different one, which overhaul colours and gives the game a more modern and realistic look. (I highly recommend the vivid weathers version if you have already downloaded vivid weathers)
Skyrim 2017 Textures – Replaces default texutures with higher resolution ones.
Realistic Water Two – This makes the water look so much better than the default water. (Goes great with an ENB)
Enhanced Blood Textures SE – Gives blood more detail and looks more realistic .
The Forgotten City (Quest Mod) – A DLC sized quest mod, which is one of the most popular quest mods.
Footprints – A small mod that adds footprints in snow.
Campfire – Adds shelter crafting and buildable fires, good for players who have survival mods installed. Or just nice for immersion
The Joy of Perspective – Gives the player a visible body in first person.
Immersive Sounds – Replaces many old sound effects with new ones
Inigo – He is a Khajiit with a very interesting and authentic story. He has around 7000 lines of dialog which is very impressive and is smarter than the regular compainions found in vanilla skyrim. (He can be found in riften jail after the mod is installed)

Survival Section (Mod Info + Links)
** These are mods that will give Skyrim survival elements, these should only be for players who are looking to change thier Skyrim experice to focus more on survival elements. **
Info
Frostfall – This adds a temprature management system, which can allow your character to catch things like hypothermia. In addition to this, you must download the “Campfire” mod which has been listed in the “Mod section”.
iNeed – I enjoy using this one alot since you are able to tweak the settings to how difficulty you want it to be. This mod requires your character to eat, sleep and drink. It comes with some pretty nice features too like being able to buy containers, to later be filled with water and other things like that.
Realistic Needs and Diseases – This is an alternitive to iNeed, which adds most of the same features such as eating, drinking etc. With the addition of Diseases, and other small differences.
