The idea is to list mod's, with link's that you "can't live without". We will presume that the:

Un-official patches ( USLEEP or individual)
Tes5Edit
LOOT
WyreBash
a "mod manager" ( which ever one, one prefers)

Are already included or excluded

If you use specific mod's with only certain types of characters, but not with others...then that is a list someone might find interesting... ie if I was playing a Werewolf a must have would be "Moonlight Tails", but for a "Dragonborn" character it would not be in my load order.

The Names of Mod's that are from not well recognized sites please place an * behind it and a short note about the type of site it is... so:
S.A.M. ( Shape Atlas for Men ) * hall of Torque.. R-rated mods

This way a person would know that...they may come face to face with...various body part's.

Also a list of mod's for specific characters that you may have written stories for...with a link back to that character story ( not needed but would be nice)

My...I don't play without mods ( except DiD competition characters)

Spoiler: click to toggle


Their are no Body mesh mod's because I change them out almost with every character, the same with "land", "floral" and other types of graphical changes. I almost always use Climates of Tamriel but sometimes I use other things, cause I like to try new things...even if they do break my games from time to time.

I have many mods, (not that far from the limit!) but I do have some that will always be in my load order!

Hunterborn

Campfire

UFO - UltimateFollower Overhaul

Alternate Start, Live Another Life

Climates of Tamriel

Shezrie's Old Hroldan

Shezrie's Hearthfire's Kitchens and Greenhouses

Cutting Room Floor

Guard Dialog Overhaul

The Choice is Yours

When Vampires Attack

FNIS - Fores New Idles in Skyrim

FNIS PCEA2 Player Exclusive Animations

Some you've already mentioned Areial, like the hair mods., as well as SKSE and SkyUI. I have different body and texture mods galore, but those can always change. Though some I won't do without, I can't list them all. LOL

My body meshes get changed out with each character for the exact look they should have... so they aren't "I can't play without's"...cause I do play without each one. When I get closer to starting Winter's story I will put the used mod's here.. as some I will probably never use again but so far with Ryuu's test run they are working well and for a vamp I would not..not use them.

I obviously have Mod lists for each character already posted. Though there are a few mods I have not mentioned, mostly considering Body mods and texture mods. Given that it doesn't seem too outlandish to do so, I might add them to those lists.

But I do use SOS, and the Seraphim body mod for females(though they are generated through Bodyslide to work with with it's included plugin, I still have the base mod installed though).

I use SoS as well, but also have used Better Males. If and when they get more armor mods for ir,, I will try S.A.M., I already have it downloaded, just not activated.

I have plans to try out some different female body mods in the future, though for now I just use

Dimonized UNP

Along with

Real Girls Realistic Body texture

Sporty Sexy Map - Athletic Muscle Mod

Three I seem to use all the time:

Race Menu
- I need to tweak just a bit more ...

Basic Simithing - so I can improve leather, especially tight leather.

Auto Unequip Ammo - because it makes sense.

Well their is another "face gen" mod...but I looked at it and at some of the other thing's I wanted and Racemenu fit the bill better.

Rick... the bestest thing to do..when you know you will get your PC is watch some of Gopher's video's, I have and do...even with my limited data.

I had a Nexus account and started my research into the mod's 3 yr's before I got my PC...maybe more. Anyway... I also decided which body meshes, then looked to see which armor's went with those body meshes. That is how I decided on UNP instead of CBBE, I liked the look and the types of armors better. Not that CBBE isn't a great mod...just when I was "tracking" all the mod's it had fewer types of armor's that I liked...and more skimpy stuff's

Areial, you don't really need the RaceMenu precache killer any more, unless you're not using the latest version of Race Menu.

My actual "can't live without" list is.... about a hundred fifty mods long. The rest (another 30 or so) are house mods I use for just particular girls, armor mods ditto, hunterborn for just certain ones, campfire ditto, orc and khajiit special things, and some presets for elves.

Copy that Areial ( post 11). A special friend of mine is unpb ;) and if I recall its also what you used for Adella's likeness :drool:

There are still things that probably won't make sense until tried...but its surprising what I've picked up already :)

A combo of UNPB and Battle hardened... If I remember correctly, I'd have to look....muscles and curves.

It's too early to add my latest - Vampirella - but most of my recent characters are wearing that. :devil:

Another "sometimes" mod that deserves mention. If you want to play Unarmed, i.e. no weapons, no offensive spells, then Unarmed Helper makes it viable.

Good work ghastley! *grin* But on the argonian, whoa, that just ain't right, LOL! Kidding, but it was weird seeing it on her. :teehee:

The other looks great for anyone wanting to play that style!

Wearable Lanterns
and
Dogs of Skyrim

Are must's for me...

I use UNP based bodies, so I can't suggest any of the Meshes that I use, most won't work with CBBE. Nothing wrong with CBBE... just I prefer UNP...

Climates of Tamriel I like it better than Purity, but Purity does not get along well with Northern Encounters ( or at least the version I have does not.) and it's a must for me... they add thing's in the same place in the "northern" area's.
