Fresh install. Any recommendations?

[Sammielfa]

Hey there. Been playing modded Skyrim with sexlab for a while now, gonna do a fresh install. What I wanted to ask as like a general question, what essentials do you always make sure you install when you do a fresh install? 

Both adult/non adult? 

Figured it would be interesting to see and also get recommendations.

Essentials?

Making a savegame before installing any mods, just in case the annoying loading-crash bug rears it's ugly head.

And I guess Mod Organizer. I wouldn't want to go back to using no mod manager ever again. And I much prefer MO over NMM.

 

Other than that what is absolutely essential to me regardless of whether it's an adult or non-adult setup are the following (in no particular order):

Unofficial Legendary Skyrim Edition Patch

SkyUI

Run for your lives (so civilians run away from Dragons)

When Vapires attack (same, but for Vampire attacks)

Optimized Textures - HD (make the game prettier AND run better than the official HD monster-pack)

A matter of time (clock widget that can show ingame and real-world time in the HUD)

RaceMenu

The Coenaculi (tattoo overlays with customizable colours and glow)

STEP Mod Compilation

Legacy of the Dragonborn (a multimod I guess you could call it with a player home, questlines, a guild and a place for trophy gathering)

Glowing Ore Veins

NARC - No Animals Report Crimes

CLAMs of Skyrim (I use this in non-adult games too, because the CosioHD body is basically a higher poly CBBE body with more sliders to customize it - and it got an animated vagina for adult games to boot)

BodySlide

 

And of course the various prerequisit mods for those (like XP32 Maximum Skeleton for example).

I guess the Alternate Start mod "Live another Live" could get into that list, once I'll get around to trying it out. So far I thought that I so rarely start new games that the prologue doesn't bother me overly much.
