Best mods of all time?

[DvondoR]

Never played this modded. Was always scared to download mods. I hear countless times that the mods in this game are amazing but idk where to start. Whats the best/safest/most popular mods of all time?

If you have the hardware for it, I'd recommend Nolvus mod pack. It's beginner friendly and the setup is easy. Over 2,000 mods working seamlessly and turns it into a completely different experience. There were many times when I tried modding Skyrim and it started falling apart (frequent crashes) around 500 mods. So to have something working out of the box with such quality and so many mods is amazing.

Funny, I was just looking at that. I don't recommend it unless OP has a good PC, that ♥♥♥♥ is quite performance heavy from my experience. While that was a while ago, it probably hasn't improved much quality wise. Also, since he hasn't modded Skyrim before let's not overwhelm him with several thousand mod mod-lists.

Mihail Mods is an amazing skyrim Modder and makes some of the best creature mods around, check out his Nexus mods page

Bit of a warning with Mihail mods. They're pretty good, but can cause some performance issues, and the textures can be meh, and are generally buggy.

You might not know, but this is essentially troll posting. It's like asking what the best tasting cake is.

All mods you like are best, all mods are safe, and literally 20k of them are popular. (now if you meant "safe" as in bug-free, that shortens the list slightly, 19000, and but then bug-free might not just mean by themselves, but in combination with the other 18999, which will be literally a blind archer shooting in the dark next to a roaring waterfall... you won't know until you know, ya know?)

Your BEST bet here is to follow a guide for a set of already-curated mods, like wabbajack or nexusmods collections, known to work together, with an already-solved mod load order. You can find many thousands of collections, from beautifying skyrim, making more content with towers and dungeons, to "woohoo!" kind of, ahem, very popular kind of mods, you name it, it exists as a collection, thousands upon thousands of them.

Not sure if you're aware, but asking for opinions is most definitely NOT trolling.
Though, it seems you're just here looking for a fight. Which I would classify as trolling.

Personally, I find that there are 2 mods that I feel are must haves in every playthrough I've done. Oldrim and SE/AE.
Those are Heljarchen Farm and Windstad Mine. They play well with every other mod I've used. They're quite safe, as well. I've never had any crashes due to them. Also, they're quite popular for all versions of the game. And, they provide a much needed supply of ores and ingredients to help fuel my alchemy/enchant loop.

I suggest playing one mod and it's supplemental ones at a time. You can always uninstall and reinstall if something goes wrong. Learning how to use mods has a learning curve on itself. If one mod requires 3-10 mods to also download I would step back away from that and look for one that require 1-2 mods and fully educate yourself on what the mod does. I remember downloading 1000s of mods and not knowing most of them.

??? What the F does that even mean. I dont do any bitcoin stuff I just love Nolvus and spread the word.. Its the best ..

the thing when it comes to modding skyrim , we need to wrtie on a paper our goal
1) first step , check our spec pc , CPU/GPU , and co
2) check on web some modpack/mod list as reference to know , what experience we can get with mods
3) write the experience we want on our skyrim modded : better visual ..? better animation .? better gameplay and wich one ..? better quest ..? more zone to explore ..?
that'll help to pick at first those core mods that match your experience and spec Pc requirement .

only after this you can start modding
pick the right version of skyrim as base , adding core framework , and then build your own mod list .

so no there's no best mods , only mods that can give a proper experience both on modding and playing the game :).

thanks to the community modders / author , now on skyrims we can modding the game as we want ^^ ..

for example , Novlus pack , steel amazed by the works on it , but itsn't on my state
, tryed on a friend PC , very stable , amazing visual , smooth , but its too much for some few sub gameplay mechanic and combat

You nolvus guys are "spreading that word" everywhere. It's either paid advertising or a cult. And since nolvus looks awfully like a commercial product, I think that it's likely paid ads.

What's the problem with Nolvus, I'm actually interested as I have seen some people who really don't like it?

I ask as I only picked up Skyrim for the first time back in January this year and I decided to look for a mod pack and I popped for Nolvus as it looked really good, was simple to install and I'm having fun with it.

I don't do Discord or anything like that so what's going on?

Nolvus is a gigantic mod pack, it's basically a "total conversion" light. The issue is how aggressively people advertise for it, and that it is very close to a commercial project which parasitizes off other people's work.

Fair enough mate, I was just curious.

Well I will not be talking about it then as if the are feeding off other people's work I'm not going to promote it.

The best Skyrim mod of all time is No NPC Greetings[www.nexusmods.com] closely followed by Masculinized Level Lists[www.nexusmods.com] so you aren't forced to slaughter thousands of females, and lastly Simple NPC Outfit Manager[www.nexusmods.com] which is extremely helpful in correcting some of the laughable armor assignments in this game. Some people really shouldn't be in full plate with large weapons and/or shields.

Personally I haven't seen too many people shill it, but if people are shilling it all over plebbit and d*cksword then that's probably why I haven't.
