Skyrim Modlist
I use a heavily customised version of Nolvus Natural Lighting v4 for Skyrim Special Edition 1.5.97 modpack to achieve what I do with my version of Skyrim. Without Nolvus none of this would be possible and as such I have been a Patreon of vektor9999 for sometime now. But as mentioned, it is heavily customised so that it better fits what I enjoy.
Below is the full list of the 1500? mods I use with colour coding to show which Nolvus modes I use, which I have rejected and my own additions. All mods listed, used and otherwise, have a link to their download location and videos about them where possible. Certain mods also require a little extra work, so these have been marked as well. Hidden Files, means some files have been set to hidden for the mod. Edit, means you have to manually adjust settings. Cleaning, means you have to clean the mod. Fomod, means the mod has a fomod setup wizard. These details are only accurate for the Nolvus used mods and might be hit and miss on their accuracy for my own additions as I am not creating a guide here, just providing a list of my extensive mods.
Lastly, should you wish to see the install instructions for Nolvus v4 in all its glory, I have left links to the section headers to the nolvus.net website along the way. His guides are impeccable.
