Description
My personal collection of Skyrim mods (none of which made by me) that I use that enhance the experience of the game. Most of the mods don't affect the gameplay, but rather, greatly increase the visual/audio experiences of the game. A few mods, however, do add new challenges/activities to the game but only to create more realistic gameplay. I created this modpack to be a 1-click solution to greatly increasing the quality of Skyrim without reducing any of its great qualities.

***************************************************NOTE*********************************************************
Many of the mods in this list require DLC content, it is highly recommended to already have HEARTHFIRE, DAWNGUARD, and DRAGONBORN downloaded.
In order to utilize the SkyUI mod in this collection you must download and launch Skyrim from the "Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE)"
which can be found from the following website:
http://skse.silverlock.org/
I highly recommend playing Skyrim using SkyUI as it is a massive improvement to Skyrim's sort of inadequate UI. SkyUI allows the user to customize their interface, utilize hotkeys, and so much more ever so seamlessly.
*******************************************************************************************************************

This collection's purpose is to serve me and my Skyrim-playing friends to more quickly download the necessary mods while leaving out the need to sift through hundreds of mods. Should some stranger stumble across this collection, I encourage subscribing to these mods and I hope you enjoy!

Be sure to check out my other mod collection, SkyRealism, that strives to enhance the difficulty, realism, and immersiveness of Skyrim at:
