Description
Not your typical mod collection! These are the mods that all Skyrim users should have!

This is a collection of "mods" that make very basic changes to the game, purely to addrese many common complaints. This is the mod pack that will make your game into the game it should have been on release!

None of these mods will have a massive affect on the game, they certainly wont affect the balance of the game!

All the "mods" listed are working and bug free. They also work together and are unlikely to have any conflicts with other mods!

If you have any suggestions post them below, but keep in mind that this collection is meant to be for basic changes that the game just shouldn't go without! Also there are a series of mods I would have loved to add, but they either wern't balanced, wern't finished/polished or brought in too large a change!

Faster Vanilla Horses
