I get a few enquiries now and then by people who like the way my Skyrim looks and they want to know what mods I use. Rather than answering each response with what I could remember, bearing in mind I set up my mods in 2021, I decided to post them on my wbesite so I can direct people to this page instead. I've organised them into groups for ease of finding the specific items and as I play on PC I use Nexus Mods as a primary source of mods so the specific name of the mod as found on that website are used below.
These mods add improvements to the game engine and fix issues.
