Essential adult mod list and load order request

[hiredranger]

Hi all

 

Returning player here.  It would be really helpful to have a an essential adult mod list with a load order to get back into the game.

Something which has all of the essential basic like the frameworks and add on that enable the widest capabilities. 

 

I am finding that when you come back after not touching this game for a while it is so easy to make a small mistake and have to start all over again to try and get things working.  Personally I forget much of what I learned over the years of modding skyrim in terms of compatibility so a solid foundation would be awesome.  The core frameworks, basic tools to add functionality and anim packs would be a real good foundation to start to build back.

 

If someone could post or create one that would be really useful to returning folks like me.

 

Thanks all.  Best wishes and regards to the adult modding community.

Essential is going to be based on what you're in to. Probably don't want to install DD if you don't like getting tied up, even if it would "widen the capabilities". There's bound to be mod packs and such but I'm going to leave linking them to more knowledgeable people, mainly because I don't think its the best approach, this being why:

xEdit and a competent mod manager and the knowledge to use these to sort out the inevitable conflicts will allow you to take any mod you want and successfully install it - no longer having to be locked into someone else's fantasies. Too many people make the mistake of installing someone else's mod list, then when they want to change it a little they brick the entire thing because they had no concept of the internals.

 

Edit: Also before you go either way: DIY or a mod pack, know which version of the game you have. Just because you bought SE, or LE, does not mean you have either of those. Especially if you're on Steam. The version number of the SkyrimSE.exe is the only thing that matters, not labels or purchase receipts.
