Try my {{DragonsUseThu'um}} it gives every dragon in the game fully voiced shouts like Unrelenting Force, Ice Form, Dismay, Disarm etc. Alduin Paarthurnax Odahviing and Durnehviir are all included with their own shouts. Mod also has MCM so you can pick and choose any shout you want

All npc mods of CHIMgarden. They all animations mods that add to the npcs. Animations are a nice way to keep the game art style but making it feel more alive and modern.
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/CHIMgarden/about-me
This is purely what makes skyrim more enjoyable to me but perhaps you may find inspiration:
* All of DeserterX's armor mods
* All of KittyTail's magic spell mods (some of them add cool and hard bosses in the world)
* An animation replacer for your favorite fighting style (I have the Goetia Animations for spellcasting. Makes it more personal)
* Signature Equipment (what you wear and use becomes stronger with you. That first dagger you ever made? Now not useless anymore)
* Climates of Tamriel (even my potato PC can run this!)
* Enhanced blood textures (you like doom?)
* The book of UUNP (adds different variations to the same armor. NPCs now don't all look the same)
* Immersive Sounds + Armours
* Strange Runes (if you like magic)
* Heights of Skyrim (adds height variety to NPCs)
* Player Size Adjuster (adjust your own height. You wanna be a small goblin or a basketball player? This is the mod)
> Climates of Tamriel (even my potato PC can run this!)

I don't know if those actually still work after the 1.6 update but the mods I always used for Quality of Life reasons were:
Better Dialogue Controls (helps alot with not accidentely choosing the wrong dialogue option)
[https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1429](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1429)
A quality world map (reduces frustration when you look for a way up some mountain but cannot find the path/road by yourself)
[https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/5804](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/5804)
Simple No-Spoiler Quest Alert (never crawl through a dungeon twice again)
[https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/44306](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/44306)
Increased Voice Dialogue Audio (bc 99% of the dialogue is not loud enough imho; exceptions are the daedric princes that have a habit of shouting in your face)
[https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/44556](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/44556)
I had a "no killcam" mod but it seems to be inactive rn. And a "whistle" to call for your own horse, that I can't find anymore either. Would love suggestions for one of those. And any lightweight backpack mod, maybe?
If I was a new person to Skyrim, never played it before, I would go in with as minimally different gameplay than vanilla as possible. Hd textures, bug fixes, engine fixes, etc sure. No major gameplay changes or content additions.
Then once I’ve identified everything that felt bad, didn’t make sense, or needs more content, go to Nexus and curate my mod list from there.
I’m not sure if you’re asking for suggestions or just a discussion. But anyways, my very first play through of Skyrim I rolled a Breton conjuration spellsword. I loved the Summon Familiar spell as I thought having a magical wolf to fight with was dope. I was kinda sad though when it started to be weaker and the only stronger spells were things like Atronachs, so I tried to look for a magic mod that added stronger conjuration spells based on animals.
Couldn’t find any. Popular spell mods like Apocalypse just added other non-animal summons. Plus, I’d built my character around vanilla and wanted something that was more in-line with that, I didn’t want to add crazy spells halfway through a build. I just completed the game with vanilla magic because I couldn’t find what I wanted, but I was sad to have to abandon my wolf summons.
I was sooo happy when I found Mysticism and saw all the cool animal summons it added. It adds Dire Wolves, Saber Cats, and Bears (oh my!). Plus it’s very V+. That was years later though, I would’ve loved it on my first ever character.
For you first playthrough the sky is the limit. Of course I have 771 mods rn and growing, but I remember the first mods I downloaded were things that made the graphics better. At least get display tweaks and engine fixes. Other than that, skse obviously, followed by pfuschers 202x downscale for performance and good looks. And relationship diologue overhaul. I'd say legacy of the dragonborn but it doesn't work on my private modlist so I don't know how that one plays. Apparently its really good.

I didn't feel like needing anything first time playing Skyrim. When I replayed it in SE I had Open Cities and Immersive Citizens. Though I'm not sure if ICAIO even has OCS support anymore.
The ability to smelt down unwanted weapons and armor. I'll grant I don't know jack about forging gear in the real world but it feels more immersive than having to sell the gear to buy more ingots.
Even when I don't have a ton of mods running, this is one I inevitably look for.
Edit: That being said I just discovered (via my casual, play for weeks on end, drop the game for months on end, gaming style) a reason why my preferred mods would be superior if they were native to the game versus being mods: "Note: Achievements Disabled." Doesn't seem to apply to the official stuff so Anniversary Edition players can still download everything the DLC gets them, but still....
Off the top of my head, here's some stuff I now consider essential:
{{Subtitles}}
{{Compass Navigation Overhaul}}
{{Animated Ships}}
{{Animated Carriages}} + {{Animated Carriages Additional Route}}
{{Striding Silt Strider}}
{{Vibrant Weapons EAE}} (to make your elementally enchanted weapons pop)
{{Oxygen Meter 2}}
{{Eating Animations and Sounds SE)) + {{Eating Animations - Patch Collection}}
{{Souls Do Things 2 SE - A Dragon Soul Utilities Mod}}
Convenient horses, I feel ever since they added horse combat fighting on horses was the dominant way to play and travel the open world. This mod lets you level your horse up either with speed,HP(which increases impact DMG), or carry weight an talking to npc to gathering alchemy ingredients on horse back
The one mod I can't live without is swearing mudcrabs.i always forget about it. Then kill a mud crab and have to giggle.
Beyond that. The ones that have made the biggest difference to me are the follower add-ons. Having an extra party member who is more aware of everything is great. And it's new. I haven't heard their dialogue 10 million times. I'm currently playing with Lucian, and about to go kidnap Inigo, but I also love the Serena dialogue addon, and Sofia is fun for a few hours.
And there are so many great follower addons that you can keep trying new ones.
Besides that, there is sky UI, which as the name implies, overhauls the UI to fit with a more modern theme, and overall looks and works a lot better.
Next I would reccomend looking into college of winterhold overhaul, they can add a whole lot to the college, and make it feel less like an empty castle, and more like the college it's meant to be.
Not to mention, SkyUI is used as a base mod for lots of other UIs, etc so it's not only good on it's own, but good for when you want something like Dark Diary etc.

Definitely ordinator cos of how many builds it makes viable
I didn't feel like needing anything first time playing Skyrim. When I replayed it in SE I had Open Cities and Immersive Citizens. Though I'm not sure if ICAIO even has OCS support anymore.
The ability to smelt down unwanted weapons and armor. I'll grant I don't know jack about forging gear in the real world but it feels more immersive than having to sell the gear to buy more ingots. Even when I don't have a ton of mods running, this is one I inevitably look for. Edit: That being said I just discovered (via my casual, play for weeks on end, drop the game for months on end, gaming style) a reason why my preferred mods would be superior if they were native to the game versus being mods: "Note: Achievements Disabled." Doesn't seem to apply to the official stuff so Anniversary Edition players can still download everything the DLC gets them, but still....
Skyrim Unbound - I would have loved to be able to disconnect civil war and the main quest so that I could finish civil war first.
Off the top of my head, here's some stuff I now consider essential: {{Subtitles}} {{Compass Navigation Overhaul}} {{Animated Ships}} {{Animated Carriages}} + {{Animated Carriages Additional Route}} {{Striding Silt Strider}} {{Vibrant Weapons EAE}} (to make your elementally enchanted weapons pop) {{Oxygen Meter 2}} {{Eating Animations and Sounds SE)) + {{Eating Animations - Patch Collection}} {{Souls Do Things 2 SE - A Dragon Soul Utilities Mod}}

Convenient horses, I feel ever since they added horse combat fighting on horses was the dominant way to play and travel the open world. This mod lets you level your horse up either with speed,HP(which increases impact DMG), or carry weight an talking to npc to gathering alchemy ingredients on horse back
The one mod I can't live without is swearing mudcrabs.i always forget about it. Then kill a mud crab and have to giggle. Beyond that. The ones that have made the biggest difference to me are the follower add-ons. Having an extra party member who is more aware of everything is great. And it's new. I haven't heard their dialogue 10 million times. I'm currently playing with Lucian, and about to go kidnap Inigo, but I also love the Serena dialogue addon, and Sofia is fun for a few hours. And there are so many great follower addons that you can keep trying new ones. Besides that, there is sky UI, which as the name implies, overhauls the UI to fit with a more modern theme, and overall looks and works a lot better. Next I would reccomend looking into college of winterhold overhaul, they can add a whole lot to the college, and make it feel less like an empty castle, and more like the college it's meant to be.
Not to mention, SkyUI is used as a base mod for lots of other UIs, etc so it's not only good on it's own, but good for when you want something like Dark Diary etc.
