kane480 Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Hello Lovers Lab community! I have a somewhat of a challenge/request for all you who are smarter than me when it comes to modding. Don't know if someone has made a topic about this yet or if this is the right section to post this, I put in the adult section because I want adult mods to be included in this little venture of mine, but I was wondering if the geniuses on this site could help me with compiling a list of mods that make Skyrim as close real life (excluding spells and mythical creatures of course) as possible, having everything lore friendly, fixing things Bethesda neglected and forgot, and have everything all compatible with each other and also an appropriate load order for everything. If at all possible, also have them compatible with the following mods which are sort of my "must have" mods and and stuff I've collected that I've come to like. If any of them aren't compatible or conflicts or something else serves their purpose better, please let me know. Mod List A Quality World Map Aela Sylvan Makeover Standalone Aesir Armor Aetherial Crown Replacer Alternate Start - Live Another Life Alternative Crafting System - I Don't Want To Be A Blacksmith (adds to immersion IMO) ApachiiSkyHair (not very immersive, but required for some NPC mods) Ars Metallica - Smithing Enhancement Aurora Village Auto Unequip Ammo Bandit Children Banditry Blessed - Blessings Rebalanced Book Covers Skyrim Bring Out Your Dead BSMA (Better Skyrim Monsters and Animals) Children Deserve Better Civil War Guard Overhaul Civil War Overhaul Climates of Tamriel Cloaks of Skyrim Common Clothes Cutting Room Floor Dawn of Riften Dawn of Whiterun Dawn of Windhelm DB Shrouded Robe for Babette DCE - Realistic Male Face Dead Body Collision Fix Deathbrand Weapons and Armor Replacer Destructible Bottles Extended Dibella Priestesses Outfit DIMONIZED UNP Female Body Distant Decal Fix Dragonborn - Nordic Greatsword Fix Dragonborn DLC Axe Bleed Fix Dramatic Clouds Duel - Combat Realism Ebonmourne - The Most Overly Fancy Sword Ever (I have this for the lulz) EcthelionOtW Dawngaurd Weapons Enhanced Blood Textures Enhanced Distant Terrain 2 Enhanced Enemy AI Ethereal Auroras Ethereal Elven Overhaul Ethereal Elven Overhaul 2 Expanded Winterhold Destruction Ruins Falskaar FAR - Forgotten Argonian Roots Female Facial Animation Flourished Worlds HD Moon Replacer Footprints Footprints - Ash Supplemental Forsworn Children Frost and Solitude Horses White Retex Ghosu - Amulet of Talos Replacer Gildergreen Regrown Greatsword Sheaths and Scabbards Guard Dialogue Overhaul HD PMR Retexture - Shadowmere Hearthfire Display Case Fix Height Adjusted Races with True Giants Helgen Reborn High Hrothgar Overhaul Hold Border Banners Horses for Followers HQ College of Winterhold Immersive Armors Immersive Patrols - c Merged Installer Immersive Prayer Immersive Settlements Immersive Sounds - Magic Immersive Sounds - Weaponry Immersive Stables Immersive Weapons Improved Dragon Shouts ImprovedFrostyFrostSalts Inconsequential NPCs KenMOD - Time on Loading Screen Killable Children Killing Giants gives Grand Souls Less Bitchy Lydia Logical Civil War Faction Armor Lydia Is Essential Lydia Sylvan Makeover Standalone Lynges Real Arrows Mature Skin Texture and Body for UNP Max Weapon Adjust moreHUD - AHZmorHUD Morning Fogs Refined New Animation for Running with Bow No More Blocky Faces No Psychic Lock Knowledge No Spells No Spinning Death Animation Northborn Scars Northern Bathhouses Nuska Real Skin For Women Oblivion Gates Orc Tribes Wear Orcish Armor Perfect Legionnaire - Imperial Armor Reforged Player Headtracking Populated Forts Pure Waters Randomized Bandit Gear Real Effect Candle Real Shelter Realistic Aspen Trees Realistic Boat Bobbing Realistc Sun for COT Realistic Room Rental Run For Your Lives Shooting Stars Silver Smithing Skyfalls + Skymills Skyrim HD - 2k Textures Skyrim High Definition LODs Skyrim NPCs Overhaul Skyrim Project Optimization Skyrim Realistic Texture Overhaul - Realistic Landscape Skyrim Realistic Texture Overhaul - Realistic Snow Skyrim Shadow Striping Fix SkyUI Sleep Tight Sleeping Innkeepers Smile in HD Splash of Rain -SSM- Simple Skyrim Makeovers Static Mesh Improvement Stop Talking To Yourself Bandit Stormlord Armor Superior Lore-Friendly Hair Sylgja Sylvan Makeover Standalone The Bottomless Pit The Dark Brotherhood Resurrection The Eyes of Beauty The Paarthurnax Dilemma Torch Arrow TTS - Uthgerd The Unbroken Unofficial Dawngaurd Patch Unofficial Dragonborn Patch Unofficial Hearthfire Patch Unofficial Skyrim Patch UNP Bouncing Boobs UNP Dawngaurd Armors UNP Dragonborn Armors UNP Female Armors Vampire Lord Retexture Vivid Landscapes Vladimir Kulich as Ulfric Stormcloak W.A.T.E.R.

I have all the expansions so compatibility should be easier to deal with. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!
zeman Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 i dont know what your are using for your perks, skills and balance , but i recommend the one found in SkyRedone. it does a very good job diversifying the impact of weapons and armor from your skill trees.you can also look into this http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/12452/? it adds random events and encounters to your game so that, just because you cleared out a dungeon, doesnt mean you are safe to just sprint out without worry of ambush. and it also makes more random events in the overworld. there is also http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/17168/? skyrim bigger trees. as the name suggests, it makes the trees bigger, makes the forests of skyrim seam older and much more impressive to look at. also look into immersive creatures http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/24913/?. which adds new monsters to slay, which you can customize to be lore friendly. finally look into automatic variants, http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/21377/? and all its child mods. it diversifies the skin textures of creatures. so that not all animals look the same. good luck
TheOzoneHole Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 That's...a lot of mods Kane. Okay, for immersion the first one you need is Frostfall. I see that the Unofficial patches are on your list as is Wet & Cold. I don't really consider USKP et all to be "immersive" but they do fix many things that Beth goofed. You have W.A.T.E.R. so that's your water fixing mod, and CoT so you're good with weather... Honestly Kane short of things like Realistic Needs and Diseases and Private Needs, which is here in the Adult Section (though I don't use that since I don't want to have to stop every 10 minutes to take a dump). Automatic Variants makes it so that not every creature looks exactly like all the rest, but you'll need to download texture packs for this, there are a few on the AV page and a few more on the nexus. Automatic Variants & Frostfall are about the only really major things you seem to be missing. If you've got a really good computer you can try Hunterborn, it overhauls how you gather stuff from killed animals (including dragons) and adds a ton of new alchemy supplies, recipes and pelts. Um what else, Better Vampires, and Moonlight Tales for Werewolves; Unique Uniques if you want some of the special unique weapons to look different than the normal version. Crimson Tide is a blood overhaul, HiRes Legible Road Signs means less time in the game map, Better Dynamic Snow is a snow texture set from some but not all snow. Dynamic Things - Woodpiles Barrels and More Oh My is now a must for me, it turns woodpiles into containers that hold wood, barrels hold random clutter, hay bales hold straw, and those training dummies and targets the guards use will work for the player, also if you hit trees with the woodsman's axe you can cut it down and hitting rocks with a pick will give you quarried stone. More Plants for Hearthfire is a minor improvement to the garden and greenhouse room, OBIS is a bandit add-on, it doesn't replace existing bandits, but does add more types. You can try When Vampires Attack, but either this or the one for dragons causes my NPCs to run indoors and never come out, so be aware that it can happen. Speaking of dragons, I notice that Deadly Dragons isn't listed. Vanilla dragons are wimps, these aren't. After loading all of that with what you've already got, you're going to need this: Skyrim Startup Memory Editor, unless you're using the 1.7 or higher version of SKSE. Also anything being used by Gopher. I'm going to have to go through your list and take a look at some of those, since I don't know what all of them do.
nutluck Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 The big one I see not on your list is Frostfall, it is a must for a immersive feel. Also I didn't see a eat,drink, sleep mod on your list. I personally like ineed the most but there is a bunch of them. iHud is another must for a immersive feeling IMHO. A Matter of Time I think adds a lot to immersion as well.
TheOzoneHole Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Forgot Lanterns of Skyrim, also Radiant and Unique Potions and Poisons and Unique Booze. Harvest Overhaul is another must, only one flower from a bush that has ten? Really BethSoft? You can also check out the lists over at Skyrim Gems, they are really good about compatibility and they have a lot of stuff.
kane480 Posted May 21, 2014 Author Posted May 21, 2014 Thanks for the quick responses guys! I'll look into these suggestions. I also need help compiling a whole list of mods that won't interfere with each other. Currently I'm having a problem with crashing to desktop 99% of the time while in whiterun, so any help with that would be appreciated. Here's a link to the thread I made on Nexus in case someone mentions something on there that makes you guys think of something else.
Laura Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Disabling the health regeneration also increased the immersion for me. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/29054/?tab=4&&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fcomments%2F%3Fmod_id%3D29054%26page%3D1%26sort%3DDESC%26pid%3D0%26thread_id%3D869649&pUp=1
Budroi Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Better fast travel - plus disable map fast travel from mcm menu = Forces you to take a carriage/boat or run everywhere. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/15508/? Good home = Castle Draco High Hrothgar Edition (get no new house music patch if you get CTD when entering). This also comes with a few teleport spells that are pretty immersive if you play a mage (3 to get you home, 1 to go to winterhold college) http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/35943/?
