Skyrim, modding and Elder Scrolls

I was doing some modding with Skyrim about a year ago. I used various visual upgrades, housing, and some other minor gameplay enhancement mods. I was also trying to use an ENB, but I was on a 960 2 GB. I have since built a new rig and got a 2060. I may go back and mod the game again though since I have a 2060 non super now.
I think what helps ES as a series is that every game is a bit different, both mechanically and in art direction. Oblivion just has this charm to it which the other games don’t have (even Morrowind, and I think that’s a diamond in the rough). Hopefully ESVI will still bring something new to the table and won’t just be “Skyrim 2.”
For Oldrim I found Falmeroon (it’s not available on Nexus, I’m afraid), which adds Ancient Snow Elf ruins across the Skyrim overworld. Most are small and are unmarked, but there are few dungeons with unique loot (such as Amulets of Auriel). If you enjoyed Dawnguard and wanted more Snow Elf lore, this is a good choice to download.
On SE, I’ve been trying out Beyond Reach, which adds the Western Reach (eastern High Rock) as a new world space. It’s currently still a work-in-progress and it shows, but it’s damned impressive. It takes a more “dark fantasy” approach compared to the series canon, though I’m down with it: It captures the more unsavory parts of medieval Celtic society.
I’ve usually played Skyrim as male characters on consoles, so I’ve taken the opportunity to make female characters for a change, using the CBBE mod. I think we all know how Skyrim modders love their big tiddies, but CBBE is a simple vanilla body-enhancer which makes female characters just generally more attractive, with smoother skin and more clear complexions. I won’t post a link to the mod itself as it’s 18+ (and I’m not sure how the moderators here feel about that), but here are my new characters on both classic and SE.
I might post more if the discussion keeps going.
I used Tempered Skins both male and female for the characters to improve appearance, the female uses the UNP female standard instead of the CBBE. I also used Shiva’s Beautiful Presets Lore Friendly Apachii Hair to change the appearance of all the NPCs characters. I have a folder with all the mods I was using when I was modding the game. I did have more screenshots, but I have lost them due to building a new rig. Yet, I have some still from my steam captures. Here goes the difference in Danica Pure Spring.
