My favourites so far ? Darkness falls makes nighttime really dark so you need a torch to see anythingLanterns of Skyrim tied in with the above , put lanterns on major roadsImmersive citizens improves citizen AI and makes them run away from danger . Can be hard to find them sometimes though because they follow different routines now ! Dialogue bug fixes is pretty good too . I also have a bunch of mods that make the world a little better looking and more alive , like better docks , better city entrances , hold borders banners , man those borders sets up a little gateway on hold borders , fortified Morthal , fortified Dawnstar , ruins of winterhold , magical college of winterhold and the watchtowers . I really hate the NPCs dying too so I have Skyrim mercenaries , unkillable horses , unkillable dogs , unkillable companions , dawn guard delayed , no vampire attacks in towns and unkillable merchants . As for cheats the instant mastery one is good and levels you up pretty quickly . The rings that let you carry a lot have been awesome as well . I have all the above active in my game but you have to play around with the load order otherwise there are issues with crashing . I dont really understand load order very well but my gist is that everything loads from bottom to top of the list . So put cosmetic things at the bottom and gameplay changes up top . Happy for any expert to explain this one to me !
