Description
This is a collection of mods that I feel give Skyrim the bells and whistles needed to be an even better game. Some mods in this pack add more life to the world of Skyrim, others add challenge and danger, and many as simply improvements and added features that make the experience richer.

Start a new game as a random adventurer, thief, assassin, hunter, or bard and leave all that Dovhakiin business to someone else. You will also enjoy the ability to choose classes, like in Elder Scrolls games of yore. You may even come across an NPC Dovhakiin in your travels. Bid them well, for they have a hard road ahead of them.

There are graphical tweaks and improvements as well. Vastly improved real-time lighting for interior spaces, gigs and gigs of textures, new meshes for static objects and clutter, improved town and city visuals, road signs, lanterns, and much more!
