Starting from Zero

So a few months ago from of my harddisks broke and my fully modded pervy Skyrim was lost forever and i haven´t touched it since. And now that the enhanced edition is just around the corner and a lot of skyrim videos are showing up on Youtube again i kinda got this itch to play again.
Because my last modded installation didn´t really work too well in the end i just thought i´d ask you guys how to go about that from zero.
The game should obviously look better, have all the comfort options (like skyUI...) and of course, as i´m a total perv it should have a lot of options built around the sexlab framework too. Can you guys help me on this with a few tipps on what kind of tools i should use and which mods i should get? I can´t even decide on which bodys (CBBE or UNP) i should use because everytime i try looking it up all the discussions don´t seem to come to any clear conclusion. Thx to anyone who is willing to take the time to think about this and feel free to ask me anything.

From what it looks like to me, UNP and CBBE is preference based, although I believe CBBE is more widely support (I may be wrong). 

I would have to ask what type of experience you'd enjoy most out of your mods. The BDSM/devious route or a more romance based experience (honestly not sure if there are many mods that offer this experience but I'm just checking to make sure)? Depending on which you prefer suggestions for mods may differ yknow?

 

Some of the mods I always grab are, Unooficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch, Alternate Start, ApachiiSkyHair, CBBE, Death alternative, Devious Devices (Assets, Expansion, base mod), FNIS, Race Menu, OneTweak, Immerslave, Simple Slavery, Prison Overhaul, Sanguines Debauchery, Sexlab Stories + Devious Stories, Sexist Guards, Slaverun Reloaded, SlaveTats, SOS, Sexlab Solutions + prison overhaul patch. 
Those are the main mods I really suggest, I have plenty of other mods in my MO profiles, but I'm iffy about them. Those are mods that are always on the edge of being removed.

Hopefully this helps a bit.

Well first, thanks for your help. The BDSM approach is the one i would wanna take i guess. And as i have played the traditional Skyrim to the point of exhaustion i would enjoy some that tell some sleazy stories too.

Just so you know it is going to take time to get working FNIS, Sexlab, and SKSE . It may in fact take months.

 

Also the original Skyui authors walked away from modding after the paid mods fiasco and have no plans whatsoever to fix it so it will work on a 64bit game.

Im not planning to use the enhanced version of Skyrim, alltough i get why you could think that.

Advice I've read from people here who are in the know: Go slow, add one thing at a time and make sure it works before adding more. This helps with stability in the long run.

So, get the basic stuff you'll need: SkyUI, FNIS, SKSE, and that sort of thing. Decide on your body (the bodyslide versions of CBBE and UUNP seem to be the latest though I'm still waiting to change) and the skeleton and such that they need.

You'll need to decide about the new physics stuff too (I don't know what the requirements, hardware-wise or other, are for this so I haven't tried it yet myself) and take care of dependencies which may include your armor conversions.

New animations, gameplay changes, world alterations (new houses etc) and all that.

I'd do SexLab stuff last, but again, it's the same idea, one thing (and its dependencies) at a time.

For suggestions there I'd say SLEN and Defeat. Scent of Sex lets you write your own rules for sex scenes, so you might want to give that a look. There aren't afaik a lot of quest/story mods, but there are a few: Sexlab Stories has a lot of small ones, Captured Dreams (if you're going to use Devious Devices anyway). I don't use DD myself, but I have heard many good things about Deviously Cursed Loot - that it does lots of configurable, fun things and that it works very well. Also, there is a SexLab Index thread, be sure to check there for your personal fetish preferences.

 

hope that helps

The way I normally do this is to get a base install without any mods at all and play through at least a few hours before adding a single mod. Visit each town and make a save in a small cell with minimal NPCs. This is in case you bork the install later, you'll still have a range of options for restarting and these saves will work in SE. I always make one save while getting off the cart, that's my go-to save when things don't work or don't load. 

 

Next would be to patch the game with all updates and USLEEP. You could choose to do a fresh set of saves after this step. These may or may not work in SE, I don't know.

 

Once you can verify all is well, you can add SKSE, HDT, SkyUI, XPMSE, Racemenu/ECE and FNIS. At this point you should also add all the animation packs you want and run FNIS. You should have a HDT-enabled skeleton and have better magic and combat animations at this point.

 

Then you should prettify the game. ENBs, followers, EFF/AFT, NPC replacers if you like that sort of thing, armor and clothing, locations and abodes and the face/hair/makeup, body and texture replacers. I personally prefer UNP and have a range of custom UNP-based bodies for most followers except where they have custom bodies and shapes (I usually avoid such followers). This means that base armors will fit them correctly. I do have severely modded base armor and clothing for pretty much every vanilla asset.

 

So now you should have a beautiful looking game, with lots of pretty followers but you really can't do anything with them. You can stew in this for a while (I advise it) and then proceed with SL installation. I would play another 10-20 hours in this state before adding anything else at all. Then you can start putting in the mods you want - I don't use the kind you like, and thus can't really recommend any. But you will be spolit for choice, so no worries there.
