In my opinion, modders can be roughly divided into two groups, artists and those who are concerned with balance, quests, scripts etc. Of course there are people who combine both talents or there are groups of people working on mods.
While I understand that a combination of different mods is the best option for balanced Skyrim gameplay, I personally first pay attention to mods with eye candy. And I am not talking about advlt mods now

When I was working on my mod I tried to create myself new models for weapons and new textures. Although the models was more or less ok, the textures appeared to be far below the level of those which are often found among graphic mods on Nexus. In the end I decided to concentrate on what I am better at

What do you guys think? How importan for you if there are new models or textures in the mod?
