Really quite silly indeed.

Personally, I can't wait for (the SKSE, of course) plugin that made it possible to have several categories of quickkey-bindings to be ported over. There's just so much stuff I wanna hotkey.

Yeah. Use it. Just use it. It will be one of the single best fidelity improvements you can make to the game, and it comes with basically 0 performance cost. I avoided it because something similar for Oblivion basically crippled framerates into the realm of unplayable, even with the most modest options possible.

This isn't that. Well, it is, but it is that without the performance cost.

It also only looks intimidating to install, but you basically just run the tool and call it a day. Setup a pure vanilla (+ DLC)Mod Organizer profile. Then follow the directions in the video on the page you linked. This will get you the visual fidelity LOD improvement. You'll miss some MOD added structures, but if they don't already have their own LOD, it's probably not a big deal unless it is some huge obnoxious Dwemer cock and balls player home. At which point you can weigh how important it is to see that massive cock from a distance (very).

I was surprised at how incredibly easy it was to set up and the difference is really significant. It's a great mod, use it.

I was gonna try to actually get into this game with the release of the SE but I think that was a mistake. It's really bad without mods. I can wait for UI and hotkey mods but I'm getting tired of sliding my mouse of my desk whenever I try to aim with a bow or spells.

Can I change aim sensitivity settings for bows and channeled spells without mods? Is there even a reason to play the SE on PC?

There should be settings in the ini files to tweak that, just google it and you'll find something that should work.

To get the obvious out of the way: Tried changing the mouse sensitivity? In the settings menu it's labelled as "Look Sensitivity" under Gameplay.
If you've already maxed that out and it's not high enough, you could try going to SkyrimPrefs.ini and increase fMouseHeadingSensitivity.

Thanks for the response. I think I may try mostly-unmodded playthrough (i.e. USLEEP and a couple others), and come back to modding after things like ASIS and AV are up and running. I would love it if someone made an Automatic Variants for armor and weapons.

Immersive Citizens, and Open Cities (Arthmoor's oblivion gates besides). The former makes NPCs a lot more lively. The latter is just a matter of convenience now that the engine can handle it.

Run for your Lives. Open cities will make NPCs much more vulnerable to dragons. Immersive Citizens technically can handle this, but it's nice to have both.
When Vampire's Attack. Same deal, but other mods don't really have much of an impact.
Thunderchild is great for some shout variety/collect-a-thon.
Modern Brawl Bug Fix, because when you start stacking more and more mods, the chances for the brawl system to break and turn into a 'real' fight grows.

If you're going to gently caress around as a vampire, get Better Vampires.
If you're looking for dungeon quest mods, go grab Trainwiz's stuff.

True Storms, because it seems more compatible, and doesn't do anything too strange. Vivid Weathers has some incredible weather types, but I prefer TS simple but effective approach of just making vanilla weathers more distinct.

There's a compatibility patch out for Vivid Weathers + True Storms already. Plus the game looks pretty darn fantastic with those weathers (and a bit of tweaking with ReShade):

It's not. Arthmoor himself recorded that line and added it into the Unofficial Skyrim patch. The mod Shut Up, (Dragon name) was made specifically to remove that one line of dialog, because gently caress that guy.

I'm not sure if I would consider Open Cities all that necessary. It takes me like half a second to load into the cities now, and the mod requires more compatibility patches than any other mod I've seen.

The line itself is vanilla. The English version doesn't have the actual voice file for it (so it would only show up as subtitles if you had those enabled) while other languages do, so the USKP team decided it was a bug and added crappy voice acting for it. It's already been in the USKP for nearly 4 years.

I agree with Futon; it's a nice thing if you want to commit to never changing anything else about cities ever, but it's a giant mess of compatibility hell waiting to happen. And we all know everyone's mod lists are going to expand as more mods get ported or developed for SE.

SE does pretty well automagically with mods off the Bethesda site but otherwise you're going to have to read mod pages and readmes real carefully for the moment.

It helps that we don't really have the accumulated cruft of mods that all do a variation on the same thing that we have with Oldrim, right now we just have the mods with people crazy enough to get them up and running in the first week.

The dev versions of loot work for SSE already, if you're feeling brave. https://bintray.com/wrinklyninja/loot/LOOT

Haven't had any issues with it so far. Just make sure you close NMM before you apply LOOTs changes, or they won't take.

NMM has BOSS and LOOT support, so if you have LOOT you can use that to automagically load order your stuff.

SSE technically is a new game, but the mod order lists from LOOT should still be valid, as pretty much every mod is directly carried forward from Skyrim.

E: They haven't patched LOOT to accept SSE as a valid game so RIP that idea. Once they patch it though it should work fine though.

As much as it hurts to link to it, https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/ only has ported mods, rather than a mix of the two.

(I misread what you asked, but at least it makes it a bit easier to find out what's been ported and not.)

Gotta check each one unfortunately. This SE thing wasn't something I was able to account for! But a confirmation of which have been updated might be something useful to try...
