Skyrim NG 2023 Full Modlist

SKYRIM NG 2023 MODLIST
A compact but powerful modlist containing just short of 170 required mods and
30 optional. No more 2000+ mods, these are all you need. The goal of this modlist
is not to create a new game but to bring the fidelity of vanilla Skyrim to modern standards.
I've put a lot of focus on remastering the graphics. Gameplay has been left unchanged on purpose.

The ENB I use is Cabbage ENB with plenty of custom tweaks. I'm working on releasing this preset for everyone.
For now standard Cabbage ENB should be good enough!
