=== CORE MODS & OVERHAULS ===

	Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch:
		A compilation of fixes & patches.

	Skyrim Project Opimization SE:
		Adds 'occlusion culling' to the game's world, which un-renders anything not visible to you.

	Low Resolution Particles:
		Improves FPS by reducing the resolution of small particles, such as rain drops. No noticable quality change.

	Insignificant Object Remover:
		Improves FPS by removing small procedural stones and pebbles.

	Skyrim 2017:
		Higher resolution textures for most in-game textures. This is the "base" of the graphics setup.

	SSE Texture Pack - Osmodius:
		Overall better looking textures than Skyrim 2017, but with less coverage. Skyrim 2017 fills in the gaps.

	Static Mesh Improvement Mods:
		Re-models many meshes in the game to significantly improve the quality of fine details.

	aMidianBorn Book of Silence:
		Overhauls models and textures for Armor, Unique Items, Creatures, Weapons, and Dragonborn content.

	aMidianBorn Book of Silence Blades Armor HOTFIX:
		A correctly ported version of the aMidianBorn Blades armor, the only mesh that needed porting to SSE.

	Skyforge Hotfix:
		A patch for aMidianBorn's blue Skyforge weapons.

	Modern Brawl Bug:
		Fixes inconsitencies with brawling.

	WildCat - Combat of Skyrim:
		Massively overhauls combat, making it more deadly and more rewarding to timing and skill, and allows to customize damage settings. Customizable through MCM.

	Deadly Combat:
		Makes combat even more deadly and fast paced through multiple combat features, including an AI overhaul. Customizable through Powers.

	Character Creation Overhaul:
		Makes each race more diverse and less flexible by implementing Oblivion's character creation system. (Major/Minor skills, birthsigns, etc.)

	Skyrim Revamped - Complete Enemy Overhaul:
		Further enhances the combat AI, making them generally smarter and less robotic.

	MorrowLoot Ultimate:
		Removes scaling, all zones are leveled, makes rare loot actually rare, and much more. I highly recommend you read the Nexus page.

	Scarcity SE - Less Loot Mod:
		Makes all loot scarcer. Configured for 4x less loot, and 2x suckier merchants. Note that MorrowLoot manually places rare gear, but now you just won't find as much laying around.

	Skyrim Skill Uncapper:
		Unlocks the maximum level for all skills. Configured for 125 max skills, and 0.5x leveling speed. Not as slow as it sounds with MorrowLoot.

	Ordinator - Perks of Skyrim:
		Completely overhauls the perks for all skill trees, adding new and interesting abilities and creates many possibilities for different play-styles.

	SkyUI:
		Redoes all of the in-game menus, making them much better for KB+M controls. Customizable through MCM.

	Additional Music Project:
		Adds 30 new music tracks to the game, nearly 4 hours of music. For comparison, Skyrim's OST has 3 1/2 hours.

	Audio Overhaul for Skyrim 2:
		Enhances Skyrim's audio system in several ways. Does not actually change sound effects, that's next.

	VioLens - A Killmove Mod:
		Allows you to customize every feature of killmoves. Customizable through MCM.

=== GAMEPLAY & IMMERSIVE OVERHAULS ===

	Simply Knock SE:
		Adds the ability to knock on the door of closed shops. Uses a combination of your relation with the property owner and your Speech skill.

	Alternate Start - Live Another Life:
		Start in a mysterious prison cell with the ability to start in many different locations throughout Skyrim. Or just try crossing the border again for a tutorial-free Helgen intro.

	Of Divine Providence:
		Divine blessings are more potent, but much short, requiring you to pray regularly. Amulets now have an increasing effect the longer you wear it, and lose the effect if un-equipped.

	Even better Quest Objectives:
		Since Skyrim relies a lot on quest markers - which are disabled - this adds greater detailed entries to your journal.

	Dragonborn Delayed:
		Delays the start of the Dragonborn questline (cultist ambush) until after the Throat of the World quest.

	Dawnguard Delayed:
		Delays the start of teh Dawnguard questline until level 20. Vampires start attacking at level 19. (Note: Vampires are VERY powerful with MorrowLoot)

		Overhauls almost every single player dialogue option to sound more accurate to Skyrim's theme. See Nexus page for examples.

	Dragons Shout with Voice:
		When Dragons use attacks (shouts), they now use Thu'um instead of simply roaring. Because MUH LORE.

	Realistic Ragdolls and Force:
		Ragdolls don't fly away with force when killed, they usually fall over unless actually hit with a great amount of force. An unrelenting force?... Sorry.

	Better Skil and Quest Book Names SE:
		Adds "(Quest)" and "(SkillName)" prefixes to books. No more frantically reading every book you come across.

	Skyrim is Windy:
		Makes flora actually react to wind gusts, instead of just randomly swaying.

	Blowing in the Wind:
		Makes hanging signs swing in the wind.

	Lanterns of Skyrim SE:

		Adds sheaths, and not actually any scabbards, to all one-handed swords, and really needs a shorter name.

	Unique Uniques SE:
		Adds unique textures to all unique weapons in the game to give uniques a bit more unique uniqueness.

	Amulet of Talos Replacer:
		Simply gives the Amulet of Talos a better model. It always annoyed me.

	Belt-Fastened Quivers:
		Places arrow quivers onto your lower back instead of upper back. Mostly ensures compatibility with Campfire backpacks, but I think it looks better overall, and is more realistic.

	Improved Daedric Artifacts SE:
		Overhauls the Daedric Artifacts, making them much stronger and useful while maintaining balance.

	Heavy Armoy SE:
		Adds many lore-friendly weapon types, such as Spears, Halberds, Shortswords, Quarterstaffs, and more, all in the style of existing weapon types. (Steel, Nordic, Dwarven, etc.)
