This post includes an extensive list of all the mods I am using for the Skyrim live stream. If you have Skyrim for the PC, I highly recommend you look into modding a bit. I honestly have found modding Skyrim to be to some extent as enjoyable as playing the game itself and it improves the Skyrim experience tenfold. Seriously, this game is God tier already, and the modding community basically made it 50 times better. If you want to learn about modding Skyrim, I am not the person for your questions. I recommend the video series "Beginners Guide to Modding Skyrim" (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE7DlYarj-DdhDG41roBVJfNCqvO5MmKP) by Gopher on YouTube. He's an excellent modding resource and a very entertaining ol' chap to listen to. Anyways, for those who are experienced modders and want to know my list, I have organized the list by the nexus mod managers categories. I also have included mods that I recommend but DID NOT USE for the stream, those are listed last for each category and in italics and I did not hyperlink them so you will have to search them for yourself. These mods weren't used for one of two reasons, either I didn't want to add extra stress to my PC while streaming or it is a more situational mod that doesn't apply to the way I plan to play the game. In addition, because I'm a nice guy, everything listed is hyperlinked to its appropriate mod page on the Skyrim Nexus (a website for modders). Think of this post as "credits."
Christmas Mods (I felt festive for the holiday season so I decked out my game with two solid Christmas mods)
Saturalia - Christmas in Skyrim (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/28093/?)
Christmas Lanturns (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/27845/?)
Abodes - Player Homes
Breezehome Fully Upgradable (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/11158/?)
Hunters Cabin of Riverwood (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/15878/?)

Unlimited Bookshelves (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/10891/?)
Animals, Creatures, Mounts and Horses
83Willows 101 Bugs (Butterflies) (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/4955/?)
Bellyaches Animal and Creature Pack (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/3621/?)
Birds of Skyrim (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/17723/?)
Convenient Horses (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/14950/?)
Flyable Broomstick (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/19069/?) (This is admittedly a completely pointless mod, lol)
Improved Fish (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/14320/?)
Pets of Skyrim (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=17424)
skyBirds (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/23771/?)
Skyrim Immersive Creatures (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/24913/?)
SkyTEST - Realistic Animals and Predators (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/10175/?)
Rusty Traders Auto Harvest - Very great mod but breaks immersion imo (I like immersion)
If your computer can handle high graphics, I recommend Better Atronach Textures and HD Rabbits Plus
If you like a very nature intensive Skyrim, Antz in my pants is good for immersion
Animation - The Dance of Death (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/10906/?)
Armo(u)r
Immersive Armors (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/19733/?)
Stormlord Armor (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/40216/?)
Due to my laziness for finding compatibility patches, I did not use but recommend Deadly Dragons Armory, Masters of Death Rise of the Dark Brotherhood, and Einherjar Armor. You'll have to find compatibility patches if you use SkyRE.
Audio, Sounds and Music
Audio Overhaul for Skyrim (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/43773/?)
Touhou Music for Bards (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/4149/?)

I was interested in Sounds of Skyrim but it crashed my game and couldn't find out why.
Cities, towns, villages, and hamlets
Winterhold Expanded Ruins (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/30554/?)
For streaming purposes, I did not use but like the graphic improving "sexy" series by horrorview as well as Visible Windows
I also like the Expanded Towns and Cities mod but opted for a more vanilla Skyrim for the stream.
Clothing
Cloaks of Skyrim (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/12092/?)
Winter is Coming - Cloaks (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/13486/?)
A great graphics mod is Improved NPC Clothing.
I am also a fan of The Art of Magika but decided not to use it.
Collectables, Treasure Hunts and Puzzles
Map Tomes and Writing Table (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/26007/?)
If you like collecting, I recommend Skyrims Unique Treasures
