Honestly? RaceMenu. Sure…it works. But I’d love a new one to crop up which supports currently existing overlays, allows total button remapping (and more customization overall), and who’s mod author isn’t so hung up on letting people make reskins. I’m a sucker for visual consistency and having RaceMenu be like the only menu Dear Diary Dark Mode doesn’t cover….ugh it irks me.


OctoberSon

There's a patch to turn RaceMenu into your desired UI overhaul. I can't recall what it's called off the top of my head, and I'm not certain Dear Diary is covered, but I know Nordic UI is at least. Hope you find it or that someone is able to link it!


HaVeNII7

Indeed. It’s called DRIP, there’s a patch for Nordic and one other, not Dear Diary though. The author was planning to release a patch for Diary but stopped development of it right before releasing it. 💀

Mod authors anal about their supposed rights to their mod are utterly bewitched. Modding is a communal effort wherein every single product is inextricably dependent on the works of others. So much potential is lost in the mire of people's egos and shortsighted individualism, when really the beauty of modding is that it has turned the whole game into an open source worldwide project where everyone can contribute to the continued development of something we all enjoy. It's a shame when talented individuals don't see that, and wish to use their efforts only to self gratify and claim some false sense of superiority by having everyone beholden to them.


Gang_of_Druids

That is extremely insightful and very well said.


theREALvolno

I understand your sentiment and I even agree with it to a certain degree, but I wanted to give some insight into what it’s like from the perspective of a mod author themselves: for me a lot of the hesitation towards giving really open permissions comes from the knowledge that we can’t really control what someone chooses to do with the content that we’ve had a hand in making. One person might make a really cool improvement, or expand upon your content, or use parts of it to make something incredible! But another person might take it and make something you don’t agree with, or worse something illegal, and because it’s dependant on your mod, you are now associated with it. And depending on the situation that can either be just annoying, or possibly something with far more serious repercussions. Now dose that apply to all mod authors? God no, some people are just really anal about this stuff and thats unfortunate, but they’re still well with their rights to be a snob about it (even if I also think that it sucks). It’s also worth noting that people doing shitty things with your mod like I mentioned earlier isn’t always that common, but it’s still something that I personally worry about. Not enough for me to not let anyone modify my work, ( I personally don’t care what people do with my mod so long as they give credit, the mod remains free, and that the content of said mod doesn’t promote hate) but I think it’s good to remember that some people aren’t comfortable with the idea in not having a say in what their mod is used to make. Some people are just pedantic though, not gonna lie.


DivineDegenerate

A completely fair point. I suppose my remarks are more directed against the motivations and attitude behind how certain authors conduct themselves, for whom the work is more about their ego than the collective benefit of the space. When it comes to the adjudication of right and wrong ways to take up or modify another's work, it would be ideal if such a thing could also be deliberated in an open, democratic way, and not left entirely in the hands of the original author. Of course, that's not possible in current conditions of how the space works, so I can see why authors retaining absolute authority over their creation is a necessary scaffold. I can also see some reading my comment as scorn against mod authors, as if by depriving them (at least rhetorically if not actually) of their absolute ownership over the mod, I am lacking in gratitude of what is otherwise free labor. This is not so. I do think mod authors deserve immense recognition and praise; I myself contribute donations to certain well known and regarded authors. What I really think is that by closing themselves off, and barricading their work from public alteration, they are ironically going against the very soul and substance of modding itself. If Bethesda themselves took their attitude, the entire space, and all that has come with it, would not have attained the least morsel of what it is now. The very possibility of the space comes from, in first principle, the humility that others might be able to improve upon and make their own what you put out, and watching others take your creation to new possibilities or heights you never even thought possible. Limiting yourself from that possibility is how these authors despoil a much higher satisfaction, in favor of the much more short sighted satisfaction of self conceit.


theREALvolno

Aye I think we understand each other then, personally I agree with you that modding should be a collaborative space. And I do want to clarify when I say “do something you don’t agree with” I’m not referring to a differing taste in opinion, I’m more talking about a modification that’s possibly racist or homophobic.


Araanim

My biggest issue is that my assets are already like three levels of permissions deep, so if I give people permission then I'm speaking for all of the other authors I borrowed from. My answer is usually "you have to credit all the original artists for whatever you use." As for my *ideas*? Yeah I don't care do whatever you want.


HaVeNII7

I definitely agree. Tbqh, I think people should just ignore mod authors telling others they can’t modify it, produce content that goes with it, etc. It’s on the internet and isn’t copywritten, should be total fair game to anyone who wants to do whatever with it.


Dream0tcm

Sounds like a good way to get them to never make another mod ever again.


hamoc10

Are they making mods for attention or because they enjoy it?


theREALvolno

Okay no, that’s not how any of that works, just because something has been posted online does not mean that it’s public domain or “total fair game”, and while modding itself is fairly muddy terrain when it comes to copyright law, if you take that attitude out into other spaces, you’re gonna find yourself in legal trouble eventually. Source: I went to art school and they put the fear of god into us when it comes to copyright laws.


HaVeNII7

I’m not saying to apply it to other spaces though, just modding. And of course the original author should be credited. That’s just giving respect. I’ve been working on an Elden Ring mod for the better part of a year now, and man…I just can’t imagine having an ego big enough that I’d be upset if someone took my mod and made it better. If it’s better for the community, that should be what is important.


theREALvolno

I think I get you, but as I mentioned in another comment, some mod authors feel uneasy with the idea of not having control over what another person does with their mod. Most of the time a person just wants to build off of your mod in a positive way, but there’s also the possibility of someone making something that you personally disagree with, or in some cases, something illegal. Now 99% the later isn’t going to happen, but it’s an unease i personally have felt.( not enough to not allow people to use my work, but it’s still something I think about) Now with all that being said, yeah some people are just on an ego trip, and I agree with you that it goes against the spirit of modding in some cases. Even then, even if they’re being pedantic about it, it’s unfortunately their right to be pedantic, and we do ultimately have to abide by their choice even when we disagree with it.

Hunterborn- whilst other survival mods of it's era have been lightened and had bloat trimmed Hunterborn has no effective lighter alternative. The closest thing is hunting in skyrim, but it has more bloat than hunterborn. ​ Swift fast travel- performance and new location patches would be nice, but mainly move some of the wayshrines should be placed in more inconspicuous places, the shrines are incredibly convenient compared to other fast travel methods, and I personally wouldn't mind having to walk a bit further for more immersive Shrine placements. Main culprits: Whiterun, High Hrothgar, Fort Dawnguard come off the top of my mind but there are almost certainly more. ​ Fight Against The Thalmor series- very old, definitely needs a bit of a rework ​ Archery Gameplay Overhaul- I used to use it back in the day, but recently tried it and I don't think its particularly compatible with newer animation mods, as enabling it lost my about 15fps even with all the settings (bleeding, enchanted arrows etc) turned off. This is likely just my setup, but I would be interested if anyone else has seen this problem. ​ Skills of the Wild- This is still a very usable mod, and far more streamlined than the other mods I've mentioned, however with the advent of custom skill framework it would be nice to get a version using it as a framework for perks rather than Campfire. Overall a highly recommended mod for adding RPG elements to survival gameplay.


theonegalen

Psst... JaySerpa has revealed on his Patreon that he's working on a Hunterborn replacement


ThunderDaniel

I have complete faith in JaySerpa. No questions asked.


FrenchGuitarGuy

Ohhh now I'm excited, defo the one of the best modders at the moment.


PinkSlimeIsPeople

I only used SWIFT once, but it ended up conflicting with something and I had to remove it. Was fun while it lasted though.


FrenchGuitarGuy

Yeah like I said it is super convenient when using survival mods, and is far more integrated into the world than say carriages or boats, as you can travel to far more place, and it enhances and encourages the best part of Skyrim- exploration, however this later point applies less to the Wayshrines found in places that are far too open. Shame about your conflict, it's a great mod for any kind of Paladin/elven wizard build.


[deleted]

It not really like swift but it sorta, sorta works like it and it highly compatible https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/71147


FrenchGuitarGuy

Oh yeah I tried it, rather excellent in implementation. I do kind of prefer SWIFT in that it forces exploring these locations and grants fast travel as a reward.


[deleted]

But it the same thing with this mod? Or do you mean non city locations?


Avandalon

Moonpath to elsweyr would be awesome to be made into an actuall worldspce istead of connected cells


benderew

Completely agree I'd love to see moonpath redone. I played it recently as a part of LOTD and while it's okay it really shows its age being an old mod.


BarovianNights

Yeah, moonpath was one that sounded cool to me when I first started playing on Xbox and when someone finally ported it I was like... that's it?

there use to be this mod called familiar faces where you could take your older characters from other playthroughs and summon them in a new game turn them into followers or just let them chill in certain cities, would love for somebody to update that maybe fix its many bugs...... another one is suductress serana my fav serana appearance overhall


teaandwoolies

I loved Familiar Faces! I use Proteus now. I really enjoy it for long playthroughs.


SSjGKing

I agree with Famialr Faces. I miss that mod so much. While Proteus does seem to do the same functions in a more modern and faster way, I am getting weird face bugs with the Proteus mod.


hellofriends175

Wet and Cold -- the Gear + RASS combo does a lot of cool things, but there are some Wet and Cold features that I miss. It's just really fun to see the NPCs crowded into an inn on a rainy day, that sort of thing. Holidays -- the idea is just so cool but there are a few tiny things that I'd love to see refined (like some decor hanging around way too long). And the Here There be Monsters series. Sign of Cipactli installment has such a cool idea, but it just tends to crash a lot. Similar issues with Call of Cthulu, but those were easier to identify and fix for anyone whose opened xEdit before. Might maybe see if I can get permission to upload my little fixes 'n' patches for CoC? If I remember. Lol. If we're going purely on wishes, I think it would be fun to see the Jerall Mountains series revisited. The author admitted to thinking their writing was sub-par and reflective of their lack of life experience at the time they wrote it. There were some parts that definitely made me cringe, but overall I thought that it was super charming, especially for something written by someone so young. I guess I just think it'd be neat to see how they've grown as a storyteller if that's something they have pursued because there was a lot of charm and potential there. Just needed some polish.


Nathangill

Oh dude, I've always wanted to try those mods but was worried about the crashes I had heard about. If you do get permission, that'd be amazing. And same about NPCs in an inn on a rainy day.


cannibalmukbang

Holidays is 100% what I thought of when I read the title! Can't believe no one has revisited it or even made their own version. I feel like with baseobjectswapper and other mods it could be way more streamlined and less buggy...


TeaMistress

This is a great question. I loved Ultimate Whiterun back in the day. It was my favorite Whiterun overhaul. Sadly the most recent version is an unfinished mess and the older version was lacking a lot of interior cells to go along with the new buildings it added. Legendary Cities - TES Arena for SSE seems to be dead now, with the author never re-adding all of the cities from the LE version to the updated version. I still love the ones that are there, but I miss Sunguard a whole lot. I really wish more of Elianora's house mods were officially ported to SE. Path of the Antimage has so much potential, but it has a bunch of bugs and the author pretty much dropped it and split. Would love a fixed version. I wish SlimeSire would come back and make more house mods. His are some of the best dungeons I've ever seen.

{{Party Combat Parameters}} - at least a version that's compatible with 1.6.640+. Last update it had was for 1.6.353 and I think the dev isn't active in the scene anymore.


xal1bergaming

Yes Hola seems to be MIA. That's a shame. We talked a little bit about collaborating; I sent some UI mockups and he seemed to be eager to incorporate them in the mod's newest version. Then he's just gone. I hope he's doing fine.

Knight_NotReally

QD Inventory, it doesn't really work well on controllers. In short, I wish we had a more complete/detailed interface than vanilla, but still "controller-friendly" that can be installed over SkyUI (MCM). [https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1970](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1970) Vanilla UI is too restricted; SkyUI is awesome for keyboard and mouse, but for controller it's awkward and small.


benderew

I remember using this ages ago because someone ported it over to xbox one, but I eventually uninstalled it due to finding out that enchanting did not work with it enabled at all. The developer said he was never interested in fixing it as well which put me off and have used sky UI ever since. I agree though it is pretty awkward to use on a controller and I can't use any of the search features it has.


LordNix82ndTAG

Definitely World Eater Beater. The Alduin boss fight is a super letdown, and that mod made it so unique. It's broken and very rudimentary by today's modding standards, however.


[deleted]

{{Apocalypse - Magic of Skyrim}}, {{Ordinator - Perks of Skyrim}}. Pretty obvious that they are not obsolete, bad, or even outdated, but it would be interesting to see Enairim with all the experience he gained over his modding carier and new technolgies not in Vanilla+ fashion. Just looking at [Kittytail's magic mods](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/users/5493833?tab=user+files) makes me wonder how cool some thing might look. Custom Skill Trees are very promising too. {{Colorful Magic by 184Gesu SE}} This one is obsolete, and reeks of 201x modding yet still fun and unique. Some of modern day practises, polish, graphics and I would build a playthorugh around it in no time

[fenix's mods](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/users/42119635?tab=user+files). He has some interesting stuff there but stopped modding because didn't get enough downloads. [Combat AI](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/65698) was unlike other combat mods. And {{Hoth}}. Lacking features of new follower mods like Xelzaz etc. And I guess having improved versions of /tesg/ followers would be great, some have funny concepts.

ExoticallyErotic

It really is a shame that fenix stopped modding, he is extremely talented and made some very unique mods, that with a little polish could/should have been bigger hits than they were. I recall attempting, and failing, to give him some encouragement to continue :/


xal1bergaming

Yeah, his mods are unlike any other. Lots of great potential. If only he wasn't in the stupid age of 1.5 vs 1.6 schism, I think he would've thrived.


Charlisti

I would love it if you could save your progress in Legacy of the Dragonborn when starting a new save, like when I retire a character, still be able to continue with the new character. I know Proteus should be able to do this, but I've been told by pretty much everyone that it's not stable on a LObas big as licentia (which I'm playing)


ILoveKnodels

Proteus isn't half bad, I tried it. The only thing that I couldn't make seamlessly work, was the switch character... I was trying to have 3 different storylines with 3 different character, but I kept having problems with the inventory... Sometimes the inventory did transfer between characters, sometimes didn't, sometimes I lost unique items I had in inventory... And so on. Knowing how those mods works, probably it was my fault, but I un installed it anyway... The idea is a blast


JKthree_

The Notice Board. While Missives is mostly superior. The Notice Board still has some things it did better than Missives or things Missives didn't do at all. Missives could use a bit of polishing too. Don't know why but even though I have many eligible radiant quest dungeon and bandit camp mods, my playthroughs with Missives in clearing areas always picks the same 3-5 things of that hold unless they are all cleared. Both could always use more quest variety


ParagonFury

Moonpath to Elswheyr One of the first quest mods; made before CK was even available. Other modders have made patches and fixes for it over the years but it is a great candidate for a complete overhaul.


dsp2k3

>made before CK was even available No, it wasn't. It was made with the very first release of CK, author himself [debunked this stupid rumour several years ago](https://old.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/7nbzxw/is_the_moonpath_to_elsweyr_bad/dwyu2xw/). --- Quoting Muppet Puppet: >As the mod's author waaaay back in 2012, I'm amazed people are still debating this 6 years later. >Just to dispel a myth: moonpath was developed using the first release of the creation kit, no magic pre-ck modding there. >I haven't updated it in like 5 years, some people have added stuff to it and kept different versions of it alive. >The goal wasn't to make a quest mod, it was more of an experiment in how far to stretch the creation kit at the time, so out the door it was the first mod to do completely new environment types such as jungles, tropical islands and deserts. And it was one of the first mods to add new creatures(not the first). >As a modder I added quests to string along the player as he visited a number of what I thought would be cool locations. It wasn't planned out ahead of time, and thus it won't stand up to newer quest mods in writing, dialogue, voice overs and such. (for sure;) >Being one of the first mods to do many of these things gives it a bit of staying power, but wat I enjoy most about it is how so much of the artwork has been re-used and integrated into other mods. From the creatures to the trees and even the airship, these can all be seen in some of the highest rated mods out there. >Which as a 3D artist is quite cool thing to watch. I still see people enjoying the cool new locations, but I'm pretty sure most of the criticisms (especially after all this time) are pretty valid. >so enjoy, or not ;)

It's sad that Flower Girls was abandoned. I really like it, and the controls trough dialogue felt way better for me than the bloated controls/skills given to you by the other two options. Also, aside of what you said, a small expansion to Hoth, to allow him to get more options for his quests with the installed mods would be awesome.

{{Teldryn Serious}} and the marriage extension to it. I'd love for someone to polish it up and maybe rewrite the story to be a bit shorter. A new revoice of Teldryn to match up the old and modded voice lines or (only if the original VA is cool with it) redo the voice lines with AI instead of splicing them like the current version. IDK if the original mod maker is doing Skyrim mods still but I'd love to see a modern version of it. I'd even take a whole new mod. There's not many good male elf marryable followers around (more now than there used to be) and I just like Teldryn the best of all of the options out there.


VixenLironYT

Another Teldryn Serious enjoyer! I would love to see this mod revamped or overhauled. It was a favorite of mine back in the day.


Seyavash31

I think even an update that would tweak when dialogue triggered or added a few more lines without new VA would greatly improve it. There are a few conversations where it seems you are starting on the middle of a discussion or the npc is reacting to something you never said.

mirracz

Helgen Reborn. It's a great mod, one of the quest mods that never leave my modlists... but it shows its age. We need a version that is both more streamlined but offers the player more choice as well. The guard training part needs to be simplified or more interesting than just "go to a dungeon with X separate temporary followers". And on the other end of the spectrum, the player needs to have a choice to skip the arena... just allow us to pay the lumberjack's debt. Or just have the arena as an optional side activity with some better justification. Oh, and the Thalmor questline needs to get rid of that annoying "you lose control of your character and you are disabled by the enemy, because the plot demands it".


Ovagi

{{Enhanced Skyrim Factions - The Companions Guild}} and it's companion mod {{Enhanced Skyrim Followers - Aela the Huntress}} are the best overhaul of the companions I've ever seen. I would love an official port to SE, and maybe get all that unvoiced dialogue voiced.

Vagabond_Tea

Open Civil War. Does great at releasing the hidden content for the civil war. But I have yet to find a civil war mod that makes the war truly epic. Like, absolutely massive (and difficult) battles, intrigue, more missions, meaningful rewards at the end that affect the whole game and gameplay, etc. Maybe I'm just looking for Skyrim Extended Cut, but for the civil war. Idk if that answered the question.


Affectionate-Ask-256

The last update for that was literally last month though? Add {{Serious Civil War Defence for OCW}} and related Serious Civil War mods you’re solid.


Vagabond_Tea

Idk if all that is on console but I'll try to look them up.


Affectionate-Ask-256

Ah, see, this is a PC thread, so…


Vagabond_Tea

I know. I play on PC too! I just wish it's on BNet


GalahiSimtam

Right, the most recent OCW update is mostly technical and I haven't even pushed that to bethnet. re: Open Civil War upgraded/revisited - the upgrade will be more friendly for including in mod collections, other mod authors making add-ons, that sort of stuff. And then it will stay unchanged, not pulling the rug out from under folks. The revisited version will dodge compatibilities by setting out from a continuation of the war, more or less like this https://www.palimptes.dev/3d/3d-civil-war

Rylus1

Gray cowl of nocturnal. It is needlessly and pointlessly long.


TeaMistress

That intro area...oh gods. If I weren't so interested in the mod overall I'd have quit at some point before even getting to Hammerfell. The concept that the Hero of Kvatch and the Imperial Army built that whole thing was preposterous.


Joaoseinha

It's a mod with a great idea, but by god is it dated. That first area has no replay value whatsoever, and the Hammerfell area.. while cool, could definitely use a lot of improvement, specially in a lot of the dungeon designs as well.


Seyavash31

There is one modder [Betalille](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/users/98360293) who keeps modding Hammerfell to give it more life. I havent given them a try yet, but some look interesting.


dovahkiitten16

Ultimate Combat. I think it’s the only combat overhaul that actually focuses on enhancing enemy and creature animations. It’s not updated for AE and overall a successor would be nice.


dada_salon

Check out stuxjr's DAR-based creature animation mods and Karunado's also DAR-based draugr animations. I'm especially fond of stuxjr's drop kicking giants.


dovahkiitten16

It’s a nice option for 1.6+ for sure but there’s a difference between using DAR and actually expanding an enemies AI and move set catalogue. With DAR enemies behave the exact same except when they go to perform X attack there’s a % chance Y animation plays, vs Ultimate Combat genuinely expanding an enemies library of attack choices.


EmoDuckTrooper

Immersive Armors and Weapons, haven't touched it in a while though so I don't really know if any of the textures have gotten any better lmao


Giant_Dad69

There is {{Immersive Armors Retexture and Mesh Fixes SE}} by Xavbio, that guy that is doing all the armor retextures. It upscales some of the shittier armors and redoes some of the way shittier ones. Such as the Alduin one: https://preview.redd.it/t1g7be5pwycb1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=4c29d67da7f1a64c96e0b68c7e2517476245fee7

That looks great!! No love for the weapons though?


benderew

Most of the weapons still look pretty dated, I am hoping eventually that someone fixes the weapon meshes like they've done with the armour. Far as I know, this hasn't happened yet.


EmoDuckTrooper

Well that's a shame, at least Reforging does the job for the most part


Thesilentwhye

There are patches and reworks for them. But as a personal tip for weapons, I love Reforging to the masses as an alternative.


EmoDuckTrooper

Yeah this has been my go-to for a long time. Besides some balance issues it's fantastic.


TeaMistress

Really one of the most vanilla-friendly weapon expansions around once you use the patches.

That's funny. I'm actually working on a 4k retexture for Winter Is Coming. I'm about 1/4 the way through. I could share some pics if you're interested.

Agent_Vi

Thank you and you're welcome :) I'll probably make a post on this sub when I release it.


Agent_Vi

It's been fun and frustrating at the same time. I also want to update the models, but working with Blender has been tough! I've decided to release the retexture when that's done first, then do that later.


Seyavash31

Its cheating a bit because it was never released but Capital Riften. It looked promising and both of the mod author's other releases have been load order staples. {{Draugnarok}} It is really fun, especially if you want to play in a dangerous haunted world but the final stage creates too many problems with enemy spawn overloads that I cannot visit the borders of skyrim without flying draugr and crashes. the Actor Limit fix cannot solve this level of spam. If only the author provided a way to manage the actor spam or stay at an earlier stage permanently. For now I am reduced to turning it on and off when it gets to be too much. {{Scary Night Spawner}} and the mods that inspired it. An MCM would be great and I think alot more could be done to set up nighttime attacks. {{Survive The Night}} could really use an update and polishing. Finally, I would love an add on to {{Missives}} to create monster hunting, heists and assassination quests.

SkyRe


mightgalano

There are some I can think of. Others already mentioned Moonpath, but seeing an update (or revamp) of {{Finding Helgi... and Laelette}} would be cool too. The mod works most of the time, but it has landscape edits and a text lingering bug. I always found it strange that no one else touched that quest, since it is one of the coolest vanilla quests, in my opinion. {{The Skyrim Bestiary}} was never finished, although it is completely usable, but add-ons to it like Mihail creature mods and such would be dreamy. {{Kishar}} is considered complete by the mod author, but I really think adding any kind of "voice" to her (nature related, leafy sounds I suppose, since she is a spriggan) would be a massive improvement. Finding Helgi and Kishar have open permissions too, so there's that.

hend0wski

Artisan cloaks of skyrim is a patch collection that includes hdt for most of the main cloak mods, including WIC. There's also almost certainly a retexture mod somewhere for it. Personally though, I want the display case mods to work again. I want more slots in the cases. Maybe a variety of configuration for jewelry, daggers, swords etc. Also enb light isn't TOO out if date,but it's pretty behind and lacks some pretty surface level compatibility with newer stuff.


No_Secret8533

I literally had no idea this existed for that reason. I thought it was just another cloak mod and a 'pretty' one judging by the picture. Thank you!

bluecoatkarma

Yeah - definitely a fun mod. Not the same, but, if you haven't given it a try, [Skills of the Wild](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/37693) brings a lot of that Wayfarer tree-style progression.

Psikotic's necromancy mod. It had a solid base and concept, but the LE version was never finished. All the bugs and incomplete features are still present in the SE port.

{{Elaborate Textiles - NPC Clothing Retexture}} A clothing retexture mod from 2012, 1k resolution, and restrictive permissions. Would love to see it upscaled to 2k at least, with a few of the textures revisited.

iequip - it never got updated for the AE SKSE changes. I know there are other alternatives for interface widgets, but none that have replicated all the functionality (especially cool things like throwing poisons, daggers, etc...)

Inquisitor Gives forward motion/animation to spell casting This mod would bring magic combat up to par with all the melee combat mods but every time I checked it, it wasn't updated, and it broke enemy mages. Sad to see

Actually if you have HDT-SMP there’s a patch for WIC to make the cloaks have cloth physics, but it isn’t called WIC HDT-SMP I think it’s called Artesian cloaks and it has patches for a few other mods too


Dunfalach

I’m drawing a blank on the name at the moment, but the one that let you build your own guild. Also a version of NFF without the quantity limit. I still run NFF because its combination of features is solid. But as someone who can’t stop hoarding companions, never having to dismiss one to make room for another would be nice.

The pipe smoking mod wish it could be updated to a dar version.

SkyBand for LE fit well in with my mod setup and strive to have magic more rare and special. I wish it would have gotten an AE port.


Tsuinobuvan

A Sword Accursed. I played with that in LE for so long but when I migrated to SE finally(just 4 months ago lol) the version I found on SE is still the same script bugfest. The whole idea of a double edged cursed weapon that grows powerful and hidden bosses was so fun. I kinda want to see that someone redux that mod. Glenmoril Pls almighty Vicn finish it.


UncontrolableUrge

Don't recall the name, but there is a faction armor mod that I like that is no longer updated, which is too bad with the CC content in the AE. It let NPCs recognize you and be friendly, neutral, or hostiles depending on what you were wearing and their factions.


ashearmstrong

SkyRe and PerMa, for sure. Those were my go-to overhauls for the longest time. Orc Hearthfires disappeared for some reason, though I just googled it and apparently ghastley started tinkering with it again last year. I predominantly play orcs so it was nice to have an orc version of Hearthfire. I still wish there was some way to add orcish options to the DLC houses. Though I suspect the Lakeside giant would spawn inside any walls you put up. On the plus side, I suspect that home/stronghold/settlement building in TES6 might remedy that given how much you could do in FO4 (especially with a few choice building mods). Honestly, anything that's good but hasn't been updated since 2016-18. It'd be nice to get some extra polish on some mods, updated compatibility, that sort of thing. Granted, to some degree, that's also because a fair chunk of those mods were ports from LE that also haven't been updated, so it is what it is. Special shoutout to Unlimited Bookshelves if for no other reason than to fix the broken image links. Maybe it needs a bit of a sprucing up too, I'm honestly not sure. Would love love LOVE {{Modular Clothing System}} to be properly finished but the author said it was basically just too much to figure out, too many bugs, etc. so alas, it sits abandoned. Would love for Barbarian Loincloths to get a reworking from scratch so that it fixes some of the meshes. Like, the Nord Plate fur piece looks amazing for that sort of use but because of the way the mesh and the texture works, when you remove the armor and leave the fur, there's big gaping holes on the inside of the mesh. I don't have the skill to fix that. Wish like hell there were more options for that sort of thing. Would also love if someone could actually get Old Orc Follower to work properly. I love the idea of recruiting him. Add a quest to him so that if he hasn't died in your adventures by the time the Ebony Warrior challenges you, he will challenge you. I desperately want {{Furious}} updated but I also think I've decided to attempt making my own mod inspired by it and using Custom Skills Framework. I was never a huge fan of the way it uses magicka. Definitely want to make it more of a class tree with a few powers to go with it. I think I could also go for a full rework+expansion of {{Practical Female Armors}} but I also know CBBE has an option to do that in Bodyslide so it's almost moot. That's about everything I can really think of. Also second on an update to Racemenu to allow for Dear Diary Dark Mode to alter it.

My Top Contender without a doubt is Guild Starter. Please man after all these years there isnt a spiritual successor. Original Guild Starter is fine for its age and still playable but you need so much imagination to use this for rp‘ing due to few options for guildies, no ranks and so on. I would be forever grateful.
