Looking for some help getting restarted

Yo, Been gone a good 4 months and have a whole new computer. And unfortunately my old computer was such a huge mess I didn't properly back anything up or take notes of source for a ton of my mods. I do desire to go back onto it and fish through hoping to salvage rare mods I was lucky enough to get my hands on.

 

But I'm looking for help both in finding some old mods And wondering what people recommend for new mods.

 

Such as I see TBBP has come out since I was last on. I'm assuming ApachiiSkyHair is still the top hair? Can't remember good face/skin/color/texture/mesh/skeleton mods unfortunately.

 

-At the moment my biggest concern is finding the mod that allows the PC to have separate mods applied since I did so love being able to stand apart from the NPCs a little better with things like height and scaling by applying separate sliders to npcs and whatever class I may have been. Not even sure how I did it before I got the mod I had so many.

 

What would people recommend CBBE, UNP, or ADEC? Anyone new? I am leaning at CBBE at the moment.

 

Recommended lighting?

 

Unofficial patches worth it?

 

Anything neat people would recommend? I'd been looking at a lot of WIP slave mods when I had left, and a lot of... dirty... mods people were hoping to see make the jump from Oblivion to Skyrim like horse belly riding. I'm not really concerned with silly notions like 'lore friendly', though I look like new buildings that fit into the aesthetics. Hoping to find the bathhouse again and the HD texture pack for it, that I'm sure I can find on the nexus (I hope)

 

I've love to go through the 'what is that mod' thread and find my rare stuff again. But I know 90% of it is pointless comments, and only 10% of it is actually original questions and answers, and flipping through pages of 'I'm looking for that mod too' gets a little frustrating.

 

Also wondering what the best current follower mod is. I mean like UFO, not actual followers.

 

Thanks for anything, I appreciate any help I can get.

 

Edit - So far I have(Mostly focusing on Vanilla improvements atm):-

All 5 Unofficial Patches

FNIS

SKSE

BBLS + BBLS:UB & CBBLS

ApachiiSkyHair

Crazy Hairs

DBCF

SkyUI

RaceMenu (Looking for the one for after creation that does not load the buggy aspects of character editing)

WTF

HD Enhanced Terrain Type 1 (Anyone got a better suggestion?)

Improved NPC Clothing - HD

Spells Give Off Light

Windmills Resized

The Eyes of Beauty (Better suggestion? More?)

Realistic Mushrooms

CBBE - Custom body

 

(Juggling on facial mods...)

First and foremost the Mod organizer: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/1334

 

Best hairs are actually here on LL only but so many things use Apachii that it's almost a given you'll need it.

Warning, too many hair mods loaded at once leads to CTDs in the RaceMenu.

 

For adult content I highly recommend Sanguine's Debauchery http://www.loverslab.com/topic/9432-2013-02-06-sanguines-debauchery/,

SexIs http://www.loverslab.com/topic/12080-sexis-sex-in-skyrim-alpha-updated-feb-5/ and my mod SexAddicts http://www.loverslab.com/topic/12747-sex-addict-mod-formerly-mla-extended-wip-last-updated-feb-9-2013/ (all three are pinned on the downloads forum).

 

All three of those have all the animations that were in the Minilovers package and more so there's no point in getting any of the Minilovers stuff any more. My mod has all the features of Minilovers Alternative plus a whole lot of additional configurability that people wanted but leaves out the game save bloating bugs.

 

Personally I like the mod that adds the roads to the map and the one that removes the silly cloudiness from it as well.

I'll defiantly check them out. I'm assuming I may run into conflicts if I install all three though huh? The thing I'm always worried about... too many mods causing a ctd. But I have a beast of a computer so SKSE better be up for the challenge. So far I have mostly aesthetic mods, still juggling on ENB since I never had a chance to use it on my old system. Took one look and I was spinning. I had one in mind I seen in the past but not sure I'll find it again. Hoping I'm right and it was spotlighted on MXRs somewhere. Which would be fine because he spotlights a lot of mods that were at some point on Nexus Hot Files, where I had got many of my mods.

 

Edit: I assume this is what you were referring to? http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/4929

 

 

CBBE TBBP body has nice bounce to it (Using Fair Skin Complexion Sweaty Body texture: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/19666 ) There's quite a few armor conversion for it available right now thanks to awesome modders.

 

I like Newsea Hairs in ZZshop's : http://www.loverslab.com/topic/10943-zzshop/

 

Oh I've known about TBBP for a long time. When I first saw it, all it was, was some demo gifs and everyone was like =O~~~~~~ So happy he released it, the animation looked quite fluid. Not that BBP was bad
