Best vanilla+ mods and similar enhancements, please

[CroHomeguard]

Hi people, can you please recommend some mods which improve upon the base game without being too lore unfriendly, I mean mods like A World of Pain and Project Nevada for FNV, so more dungeons and weapons, Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild expansions, et cetera

I saw and played the game with Ordinator - Perks or however it is called some time ago. I found it great

I have tested several Civil War expansions, but they were all problematic in terms of bugs

I am also open to new DLC type mods, or, as they say on Nexus, New Lands and Adventures,

I have a decent PC. I just want something good and playtested by people... with minimal crashing and bugs, as I do not have the time nor energy to experiment

Thanks very much in advance

But you took the time to reply to let him know you're not going to reply??? Why?

I'd make suggestions but I'm actually curious myself, not played skyrim much before lol.

That looks like a headache to install? I looked at all the requirements needed for that mod and just gave up lol.

I recommend Vokrii over Ordinator, it's made by the same Author, as is every mod I'm going to recommend. Enai Saion has some mods he calls Vanilla + mods, and they are really good.

Vokrii - Minimalistic Perks of Skyrim https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/26176

Evenstar - Minimalistic Standing Stones of Skyrim https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/41256
Smilodon - Minimalistic Combat of Skyrim https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2824

Trua - Minimalistic Faiths of Skyrim https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/32549

There are also more advanced version of these mods, that change a bit more. Like I mentioned, these are all by the same person, and are also all compatible with one another.

Ehm... Requirements lists zero mandatory dependencies, just 3 optional files.

If you actually want all out of it, then sure: setting up LotD can take some time and effort. This happens, if you start expanding the amount of displays. I am playing with notably large LotD build myself.

But, to stick with the claim, mod lists or requires no hard dependencies at all.

It only has three requirements, and they're all optional. If that's too much for you, I'm not going to type out a bunch of stuff. I'll just point you to this thread.

This is a huge and well-crafted quest + new locale mod, meant to blend seamlessly into Skyrim's existing Lore.

Project AHO will take you out of Skyrim forcibly for some time, if you wish to delay that then you may install this mod and toggle when you're ready in the MCM

If you want more from these guys, they have released one other mod that is relatively vanilla+ as well, more magic themed, called Carved Brink. I believe this one you can leave at most any time.
