I have to imagine the endorsement numbers have gotten a lot worse since mod packs became so popular. I don't think many people are going to take the time to go endorse the hundreds or possibly thousands of mods in a mod pack.

You can endorse directly from MO2, which might mitigate that a bit. Still probably not a lot of people scrolling through their 900 mod wabbajack list and endorsing them, though.

It's such a delight when Nexus gives you the "please endorse these mods" popup, which is just a list of mod names, with no links or any nugget of context towards what game they're even for other than whatever the mod authors thought to include in the names themselves. It's so enthusiastically unhelpful. Yeah sure I'll endorse "Rock retexture" from videogame

I barely ever endorsed before it was a thing because you have to wait to endorse a mod. I don't tend to get a mod, go use it, then come back unless I need to download an update. It means the number of mods I endorse period is really limited, wabbajack be damned.

Are there any mods that have a fun collecting sort of setup but mostly for vanilla stuff so it's not as uh. Full on and busted as LotD? Like I guess I could just find player homes with lots of displays but I like the stuff lotd does for questline completions or like displaying alchemy ingredients. Just not a fan of all the crap it fills the game world with for the most part.

I think there are patches that trim that down? Check the requirements tab on the Nexus page, it will also list the mods that require LOTD, which will include any third-party patches.

Yeah I endorse from MO2 once I decide I like the mod and it works well. I figure that endorsement : downloads ratio isn't exactly a perfect signal, but either one by itself is arguably more misleading so why not have this too?

I've only just now, somehow, discovered Saints and Seducers Extended Cut, and it's pretty great (especially for overloading me with SI Nostalgia). But does anyone know if there's any safe storage in it though? I'm guessing that old house or whatever it's called might be but I don't like taking chances with my loot.

Is there a decent guide to installing Creation Kit in the modern era? And using that to create a simple mod to modify an NPCs appearance? Thought I might play around and create a few simple mods, maybe a quest or two

Has an installation guide on the mod page that covers everything. After literal years of the Creation Kit being broken for me after Bethesda killed the Bethesda Launcher version of it and moved it to Steam for AE, this thing finally fixed it so I was able to actually open files in it again.

A friend was trying to install a Wabbajack list and gave up after facing the reality of trying to do so without Nexus premium and it made me thankful for having lifetime. Figured whatever I paid for it was worth it and I assumed it was probably like 150 dollars or something for lifetime. Tracked down my original payment and found out it was 7 years ago and only 62 USD (50 GBP). That is the cost of a year of premium now. I understand why they no longer offer lifetime subs. Anyone know if they had raised the price at any point?

Do note that automating clicking the download buttons is a fairly trivial AHK script. You still get the slow download speeds but it turns the whole thing into a thing you can let run unattended.

Traditional Bosmer in the Falkreath woods. She actually banter with Inigo, if you have them both in your party at the same time https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/11278/ Lucien is another follower that has banter with Inigo (and Auri). He works particularly well with Inigo, and their banter, singing and jokes are a lot of fun https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/20035

Yeah I recommend Lucien. Do not recommend Auri, unless you truly never ever tire of cannibal jokes and also want an overpowered follower who will kill everything with her bow before you can even get close.

I'm not a huge fan of Lucien because he becomes better at things based on what I do as a player, and ideally a companion should be doing something I can't already do. Like, if I'm playing a two hander that smacks people on the face with a giant sword, I want him hanging back and shooting out fireballs or healing me, but if I'm shooting spells at people from the distance I want him running interference, but that's not how it works. He's designed to be a copy of you and not a complement.

Counterpoint- Most of her dialogue and quests are actually well written and her acting is much better than a lot of other custom voice followers.

He's designed to be a copy of you and not a complement. I think this is partially true, you can teach him stuff that you are good at but he also learns stuff on his own and you can tell him how you want him to fight. To answer the original question, both Lucien and Auri are older mods. I haven't played them myself but two newer followers that I intend to try next time I ever make a new list would be Gore & Xelzaz, I've heard a lot of good things about both of them.

Also agree that Auri's quests are better than most companion-mod quests--although that is a very low bar to clear.

Sorry to make what is probably "the post we see here every month" but as the OP says it's very out of date. I recently reinstalled Skyrim (SE version) and while I originally played it vanilla I don't think I can stomach that dreadful UI again. I'm looking to fix it up with some improvements. I came across this Reddit... wiki? that lists "essential mods" and to be frank it seems insanely daunting to me and I don't even know where to begin with it. Do I really need all of those mod managing tools just to install a small handful of things? Here's what I'm interested in:
Any recommendations for the above? What do I need to install them? Just Vortex?

That list is extremely, extremely overkill. I don’t have any recommendations right now myself but looking at that that is not an “essential” list that’s more poo poo than I’ve ever installed modding Skyrim. Ever. Ever. For sure you want to use Mod Organizer 2 and not Vortex though.

Unless you have specific needs, all there really is looks like: UI: SkyUI Bugs: Unofficial Patch Mechanics: There are about 4 overhaul sets to look at: EnaiSiaion has a set of really big overhauls, starting with Ordinator, Apocalypse Magic, etc. He has a more-vanilla style set starting with Vokrii. SimonMagus has another quality collection of system overhauls as well, starting with Adamant. All three sets can do everything from perks, magic, alchemy, enchanting, and more. Just decide which of the three sets seem most interesting and then grab which you want from each. Apocalypse spells is probably the biggest spell-adding mod, and should be compatible with most anything else.

My own bare minimum "just make the game work" list is usually something like: SKSE + Address Library SkyUI Unofficial Patch Engine Fixes and Bug FIxes More Informative Console RaceMenu Your alternate start mod of choice ("none" is a valid choice for actually playing, but you probably want something in place just to make testing convenient) (And you could certainly get by without anything but the first three things on that list, I just wouldn't want to). A lot of the stuff on that reddit list is good but you definitely don't need all that poo poo. (But the real danger/joy is once you start adding "one or two things" you'll never ever stop) Oh, and for tools, you definitely want Mod Organizer 2 and probably SSEEdit

Oh, and for interface stuff I really like Dear Diary's dark mode but there are several very good overhauls out there (and you don't really need anything beyond SkyUI unless you fancy a change).
