A list of must have mods for new PC players.
First of all I recommend you make an account in http://skyrim.nexusmods.com and download the Nexus Mod manager.
This will make your life 3000 times easier.
Now the mods:
Adds roads to the world map, making your travels through the large land of skyrim so much easier.
These two will spare you hours of looking through your inventory to find a healing potion.
3.If you like gore, I'd definitely recommend Enhanced Blood Textures
4.Better Females by Bella and Calientes female body mod (Nude females) if you like to play with only one hand...
5.Different outfits for different city guards
Pretty cool mods that makes the guards less robotic and gives different hold guards different armor, giving them more personality.
6.Golden vendors is a mod that gives all vendors 25 000 gold, which makes it easier to get rid of your endless junk and makes it possible to get rid of the stuff from one dragon run in one go.
7.Immersive environment and Immersive water are 2 very good mods that will make your graphics much better.
8.If you're arachnophobic like me I recommend the No spiders mod which turns spiders into bears with really goofy animations and become not scary but silly.
9.Visible windows is a pretty good mod, but for some reason it's hidden right now so I can't link to it.
10.No helmets in case you don't like wearing watermelons on your head.
11.Proudspire manor - Dragonborn edition mods the biggest, most expensive house in Skyrim - the Proudpsire Manor in Soltitude to be really worth the 26 000 by adding a lot of new stuff to it like a smelter.
12.Essential dogs will make your pet invincible so that only you can kill it, pretty useful if you don't want to lose your trusty dog.
13.Magicka Sabers adds lightsabers - both one and two handed and all colors to the game, a good mod for star wars fans. If you want a Jedi character you may also add Jedi robes mod
14.SkyrimHD 2K Textures will retexture the whole game making you eyegasm. Note that on weaker computers the full version may crash right after it loads the game.
And finally the last 2 best mods that you must have are:
15.Midas Magic
A mod that will make it actually worth it to improve your magicka. Adds a ton of new powerful spells and makes a mage's life easier.
A must have mod for all PC players that adds new items, spells, armor and more, and on top of that they are working with 2 other mod makers on making Skyrim online, so download it through the mod manager and look out for new versions, you never know when online is coming.
