My planned mod list, what’s in yours?

[Maty743]

I decided to do a bit of research into mods before release and here’s what I have so far. Not sure yet if all these will work and I will need to check some compatibility between them but I think they could add to the VR experience.

KEY:
(+) = My most wanted
(?) = Will try out the vanilla experience first before deciding if these are needed
(-) = If the vanilla game is running well I might try these performance heavy mods.

VISUAL MODS:
- Footprints (+) (Adds footprints to snow ans ash)
- True Storms Special Edition - Thunder Rain and Weather Redone (+) (Choosing this over other weather mods because of the audio focus. Works great in Fallout 4 VR as well.)
- Darker nights (?)
- Enhanced Lights and FX (+)
- Smoking Torches and Candles (+) (Should work well with ELFX since the torch will be needed more often. Having the extra particle effects will be awesome)
- Realistic Water Two (?)

SOUND MODS (need to check compatibility but enhancing the audio is a huge part of immersion in VR):
- Audio overhaul for skyrim 2
- Sounds of skyrim
- Immersive Sounds – Compendium
- Reverb and Ambiance Overhaul
- no npc greetings

GAMEPLAY MODS:
- Ordinator – perks of skyrim (?) (Need to research this more. A bunch of perks might not work for VR as intended)
- Wildcat (?) (The thing that is drawing me to this is the increase in damage dealt)
- Combat evolved (?)
- Realistic Melee Range (+) (I think it will be much clearer in VR when an enemy misses so having them deal damage in these instances will be very odd)
- Immersive petrols (+) (Just more npcs to encounter)
- Populated Skyrim HELL EDITION (Just more things to fight)
- Populated Skyrim Civil War SE Edition
- Realistic Ragdolls and Force (+) (Used similar mod for Fallout 4 VR and was very happy with it)
- No Spinning Death Animation (+) (More ragdolls :D )
- Apocalypse – Magic of Skyrim (?) (Only if I decide to progress as a mage)

ITEM MODS:
- LeanWolf's Better-Shaped Weapons SE (+) (should be great for VR so weapons do not appear so large and obnoxious.)
- Unique uniques(+) (Makes some of those quests more rewarding)
- Lore Weapon Expansion SE (?) (I don’t know if bow mods will work in game. Hard to tell at this stage what changes have been made for VR)

PERSONAL TOUCH MODS:
- Infinite Shouts (No Cooldown) (just for fun :) )
- True Telekinesis (So I can grab npcs with Telekinesis)
or - Vampire Lord Style Vampiric Grip and Drain spells (Would need to be updated for Skyrim SE)


MODS I WILL LOOK INTO TRYING IN THE FUTURE:
- Vivid weathers (-)
- Realistic need and diseases or iNEED
- Frostfall
- Campfire
- Andromeda
- Beyond Skyrim - Bruma SE
- Skyrim Flora Overhaul SE (-)
- Verdant - A Skyrim Grass Plugin (-)
- And a real long shot but Enderal would be cool

WHAT I NEED TO FIND STILL:
- A visually stunning player home

POSSIBLE CHANGES TO INI FILE:
- Adjust the blocking angles to make it easier with weapons
- Move, shrink or remove HUD elements
- Change comfort sneak so it doesnt change camera height

What are your suggestions of mods that will work well in VR or any I have mentioned I should remove or replace?

Maty743, you seem to know your way around mods for Skyrim :) Do you know any good guide for load order??

I know a bunch about getting armors in game but not that knowledgeable about the rest of modding as I have forgotten heaps over the years haha. This guide here looks like the sort of thing you might be after. I haven't read through it all but it looks good. https://bethesda.net/community/topic/5795/how-to-load-order

While I wait for SKSE's VR counterpart I'll probably stick to just Falskaar and a few Weapon mods, reallly.
