Suggestions for New Player?

[CrisG9]

I have arrived. I would love to hear mod suggestions: the game runs fine on medium settings no problems to report. I am off to find the first town.

I researched and added the following:

Skyrim Script Extender

High Res Add ON Packs 1 and 2

CategorizedFavorites Menu

Female Face Skin V1

Glowing Ore Veins

HQ3D Map

Quality World Map

CHSBHC Body and armor replacers

Realistic Lighiting

Shadow Striping Fix

Skyrim NPC Editor

Sounds of Skyrim

envision_Face_for_CBBE

RANs_type-B_Headmesh

any suggestoins very welcome indeed

I am going to use the Nexus Mod Manager but i have to update to NET 4 and add a bunch of updates for Windowz first.

This is what Im using on top of realistic water textures and high res pack. None of these have any major impact on the game, mostly just add detail. Trying to keep the vanilla look.

KenMod Time on Loading screen is must have, Skyrim will drag you in and wont let go

thanks Maddox..much appreciated.

I remember when Skyrim first came out the bodies all were dirty, ie dirt and mud....and there is a mod for that.

do we still need it or are the skin texture replacers "clean"?

i dont need to be watching muddy people while i play...

also re the blocky faces...should we load that fix still?
