sup guys, I've been wanting to get back into playing skyrim now that modders have had a chance to spice everything up.

I haven't played in a long time and was hoping some of you, who have been more up to date on what has been happening in the modding community, would be able to help me out. I'm looking for "hardcoe" mods. mainly ones that add the need to eat/drink/sleep, temperature gauge (for those cold skyrim nights), remove or alter the monster level scaling system (so adventuring is more risky and rewarding), improve enemy AI when your character is in stealth mode, improve enemy AI in general, add arrow weight (I plan on using a bow and I would like the extra challenge), and whatever else I might think of later.

Also, any "must have" mods would be great too. thanks

Here's the ten main mods other than the "essential" ones and graphics-related stuff. My current playthrough has been solely focused on survival, so most if not all of these should be right up your alley.

1. SkyRe
2. Frostfall
3. Realistic Needs and Diseases
4. Torches for Skyrim
5. Wet and Cold
6. Piratelord's Loot Adjustments
7. Dynamic Things
8. Immersive Armors
9. Live Another Life
10. Lanterns of Skyrim

I haven't noticed if SkyRe adds weight to arrows because I'm not playing with Marksman at the moment. It definitely overhauls the level scaling system, though, focusing more on "encounter zones" rather than everything just being equal to the player. Hope this helps!
