I mean, that I can understand. What I don't understand is why you want mods to make the game easier. Quality of life mods like Lecacy of the Dragonborn, that's a different story as it adds in a valid way to actually keep track of your inventory, adds a shitload of new content, and is just pleasant to play all around. But having a mod that lets you remember lockpick angle? Is it that friggn hard for you? Clearly this guy has a total melee bias, so I would expect anything that isn't smash attack button confuses and frightens him. But it's going a little overboard in a lot of places. Honestly, the best mods are simply the ones that add in more content. Especially voiced content. Maybe change up the spell and perk list. Granted the mods that do that most times go overboard or make perks that are totally useless. But the vanilla perks are kinda played out. Either way, I'm just finishing up my first play through on Enderal and it's pretty impressive what people can do when they just want to make a better game and not tweak shit here and there so certain things are less annoying. Especially a fan of the their hardest difficulty setting that made the first part of the game absolute hell being that everything would just 1-shot me if I wasn't carefully using the environment to prevent it.

@@BourbonJRA A few years ago, I spent over a week modding Skyrim. Wasn't working so it was almost 8 hours a day doing it. Add MODS, play to see if OK. Add more MODs. Finally got it all working and the game looked stunning. So played for a couple hours then went to make dinner. 3 hours later, came back. Vortex had an update. So I updated Vortex. It totally destroyed my game. So much so, that I had to completely remove everything related to Skyrim and reinstall the vanilla game. But after doing that, I didn't touch Skyrim for years. I've was off Skyrim for a year and since Bethesda upgraded Skyrim between then and now, and even though I downgraded Skyrim to the build I was using, the game is so glitchy that I'm bak into vanilla wondering whether to backdate to my old version or just start modding on the latest version.

A mod that is always on my list is the: Take All mod. Its for gold, arrows(mostly), ore/ingots, and gems(even custom ones). Pick up one and it'll pick up all of that particular thing. There are also settings in which you can tell it not to steal unless sneaking or not at all, any arrow or all arrows.. ect. there's even 2 different styles, in which it can be anchored to your cross hair or a radius of the player. its super useful!! I always shoot the ground with an arrow just to have it pick up arrows that I, a follower, or an Enemy have missed with.

[@Mantelar]

A couple small ones I find a lot better. The comprehensive follower overhaul allows you to move followers not in your party to live in your player homes, mark them essential, call active followers (no more stuck or lost followers) and collective storage. Combined with the “more enemies” overhaul (the simple one that just adds mobs from the encounter table) you have more of a party game, if you like. Weapon speed increases everyone’s attack speed to something that is more true to life. Sekiro blocking makes blocking matter. Renders a few perks irrelevant but combined with a dodge mod combat finally makes sense. Elden beast with animated armory (no animations) is good for console… I wish I remembered the name but there is a mod that adds smithing improved armor to all loot tables. This makes scaling make a lot more sense…like soooo much more sense, especially if you use any mods that remove or reduce level scaling. If you add throwing weapons, it’s even better. Realistic AI detection nerfs stealth archer. It still works, but it’ll force you back into the games other systems to win a lot of fights. Coupled with some combination of realistic lighting, again, sneaking just works better. You actually have to hide in shadows to make it work. I couple this with a sustain magic mod that makes magika important again, even if you build a tank…makes RP more viable. Oh yeah, IF you use lux…ENB and IA 92s crispy lights work great. I’m an ELFX shadows guy, but if you don’t run a ton of interior alterations, or a solid with patches, it’s a great combo. Incoherent rant to the void complete.
