    Honestly for me the big one that made the game worth continuing was a mod letting you scrap junk for materials. Letting me get basic metal from all those pots, pans, goblets and other stuff made looting worthwhile and helped me brush up on blacksmithing early enough to make me happy.

    Okay, that and the little mod that places Excalibur in a lake near Whiterun. I got a huge kick out of that and it was a solid 'tide you over' weapon until I could get some combat skills going along with the smithing. Once I didn't need it anymore it made a great decoration. Just wish there had been a way to get the lulzy swordbeam function in the game.

    For me a lot of modding of Skyrim was just to fix stuff like that first one. Killable children was a must under the logic of 'If they can die when a dragon attacks, now I care more.' I don't recall seeing a 'remove plot vital from all NPC's forever' mod but I bet one exists.

    Okay and glowing ore veins, that was annoyingly hard to find. Everything else was ultimately cosmetic or just for fun. (Magic beam sabers you say? Don't mind if I do!)

      It's been so long that I don't remember the specific mods, but,

      1. Mods that fix the game. This includes mods that correct mistakes Bethesda made, and mods that improve on half baked mechanics. Basically improvements and quality of life changes.

      2. Mods that add the game's depth. NPCs and areas with believable lore attached, good quality quest lines, and weather effects.

      3. Additional appropriate items, equipment, and spells.

      4. Visual enhancements.

      In that order of importance.

        I was always partial to the shader improvements mods and making dark areas actually.... dark. Improves the caves and dungeons when they don't all look the same and gives you reason to use magelight.

          Oh and of course the unofficial skyrim patch is mandatory.

            I enjoy the companion mods the most, since Vanilla Skyrim hardly has any that are good (though Serana came close).

            Vilja in Skyrim
            Anna NPCs
            Mirai - The Girl with the Dragon Heart
            Ambriel - The Lost Princess
            Recorder - Standalone Fully Voiced Follower

              I tried recorder once, seems a good one, is something I will re-use eventually.
              Gonna save that list, will have a look at them.
              I tried m'rissi companion mod once too, that one with the cat girl, fully voiced, quested too, seemed kinda dark, is an interesting one.

              I would also reccomend inigo and lucien, as the two not only have their own dialogue and such, they also interact with the follower npcs you've listed

            Colorful Magic is a really fun mod, I really enjoyed the new bosses and gear it adds.
            If you like me, that's great! If you hate me, that's cool, just don't hide it.

              Best mod i have installed into a Skyrim playthough is Perkus Maximus. It is a complete overhaul/redesign of the skill chart.

                Mods don't work for me. I think it might be because I don't have all the DLC or something. Also yes I did a clean install of skyrim.
