Must-have mods for the first playthrough of the game (The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim)
Hello everybody!Hands reached Skyrim and the question is about choosing the most necessary mods for the first playthrough. There are several requirements for modifications:
1. The mod should not change the main storyline, as well as add. quests.
2. The mod should not change the gameplay too much (Adding incomprehensible spells, non-buried weapons / armor, any new dubious races or creatures from other games, changing combat mechanics, etc.).
3. NO to any cheating mods.
Skyrim Legendary Edition available (Steam). I could have bought SE, but I don't see much sense yet. first walkthrough and LE is enough.
I selected at least a few mods for
myself : 1.Unofficial Patch - Fixes bugs in Skyrim.

2. Hi-res texture pack from Bethesda (Pak is not included in LE, also hidden by the publisher on Steam . A direct link to the DLC can be found on the Internet. It can be googled in a couple of minutes). + Unofficial High Resolution Patch (fixes Hi-res texture pack bugs).

4. SKSE - optimizes Skyrim, as well as expands the capabilities of the Creation Kit. It is necessary for mods, and also allows you to create a file with the INI extension in which you can write commands, for example, to increase the RAM used by the game, etc.

6, Skyrim Project Optimization - Improves performance in interiors through the use of Occlusion Culling technology. Those objects that the player cannot see are not processed, so the load on the equipment is reduced. Mod does NOT degrade graphics and does not delete any objects!

8. Enhanced Lights and FX - improves, I would even say, fixes the lighting in the game. Makes nights and dungeons truly dark. Adds realistic light from sources and removes where it shouldn't be. Improves the appearance of the flame, and also makes the light from the fire realistically warm.

9. SkyUI - improves the game UI. Adds on-screen character effects, quick inventory search, customization menus for other mods, and much more.

The game has been around for many years. It has been completed many times. During this time, thousands and thousands of mods have been created, it will take a ton of time to revise everything. Please share your ideas and recommend high-quality mods that will really improve the first gaming experience and, in your opinion, can be called must-haves for the game. Perhaps this topic will be useful to all those who ask the same question or want, like me, to go through this game for the first time.

November 11 this year to the tenth anniversary of the game, i.e. in two and a half weeks, a big update is coming.

If so much waiting, you can still you wait just a little, but already there is a need to estimate what fashion. Logically, a bunch of little things are already crammed into the anniversary edition, and perhaps some mods will become irrelevant. Exactly as there will be an urgent need for new ones - given that all the new items of the Gazebo are sinful of bugs, glitches and minor flaws.

I read the news and maybe the new edition will be cool. But the free upgrade will only be for SE owners. It won't be free for LE. There is no particular desire to buy Skyrim again, especially since I practically did not play Skyrim. Played Morrowind a lot. I would start with LE, for me there is not much difference =) LE also looks and plays well.

Well ... I always play exclusively pirates, so I didn't look at it that way. I would like to recommend mods for the game, which I replay at least 2 times a year, but since the release of SE I have never touched LE, even though there are much fewer mods for SE. I am sure that there will be players who play the old version and will advise a lot of good mods.
In any case, I wish you a pleasant passage!
PS And do not forget to take breaks - the game is very addictive, and some quest lines are so exciting that you can easily sit for 8-10 hours without getting up. Whatever is good for health;)
