After some time away from playing any TES titles (not to mention my original physical copies of Morrowind and Oblivion going AWOL after a period of redecorating), I got the itch to return to Tamriel.

Luckily for me, I managed to get a copy of the Elder Scrolls Anthology for ￡15. Having done much exploring of Vvardenfell and Cyrodill, it was time to catch up with the rest of the world and set my sights on Skyrim

I have a problem though. I think its proper name is called Klepto-Mod-Itis. Apart from using unoffical fixes, one is supposed to play vanilla before pumping the mods in. But think of the overhauls, the voices in my head whisper and soon, I capitulate.

So after all that waffling preamble, my question is: what big mods are there for Skyrim for me to sink my teeth into, despite it being my first playthrough? When I say big mods, I'm thinking of things similar to FCOM, Better Cities, Unique Landscapes, Amerantium, Maskar's Basic Physical Activities and Basic Primary Needs, etc.

I have already had a cursory glance at Skyrim Nexus and tracked a few stand-out mods already but some experience would be more than welcome.

Gimme gimme.
