Skyrimese 2018

2018 is coming. Vanilla Skyrim's visuals are simply outdated, and instead of spending countless hours searching for the perfect mod list for Skyrim SE, look no further. Introducing the 2018 "Skyrim Immersion and Realism Visual Overhaul Guide." This simple guide lists the top and newest mod selections in proper loading order.

Tired of wasting countless hours cycling through mods trying to achieve the most realistic/immersive results?

This list of mod packages will block all searches. Don't hesitate any longer. My screenshots speak a thousand words.

The following tools are required (or highly recommended) for best results.

• Mod Organizer 2 for SE or Mod Manager - It's obvious here. For simple mod management.
• SKSE 64 - Get the most out of SkyrimSE Mods.
• Wrye Bash or MatorSmash - for Bashed Patching and Level List Merging.

• Mod loading order (file, texture, mesh):

Check out the final screenshot of the load order and full mod name.
