I have recently reinstalled Skyrim onto my PC and purchased all the DLC after starting a character. I quickly realized that there were some things that I wanted to change about the game. I was thinking about restarting my character and playing a more civilian type for the beginning of his life, I want to get him working so he can earn enough money to start building his house and then find a wife and start a family. I wanted to add some mods but I dont want to add anything that isn't worth it.

So far I am thinking about adding:

Immersive armors
Immersive weapons

I already have SKSE and SkyUI.
What else would you recommend for better bodies, faces. Better Companions, A needs mod.

Also if there is anything else that will add to the overall feel of the world as a living environment, maybe if there is a good quality mod for the civil war going on.

Alternate Start - Live Another Life - gives a number of starting options which are great for roleplaying, and delays the start of the main quest until such time as you wish to begin it - it would be ideal for you if you wish to start with an ordinary character who has a life before becoming a hero.

Ah, yes I forgot about this one, good suggestion.

Is there a Needs mod out there that is good quality and maybe an economy mod that will allow my character to do more than just chop wood or mine ore for a living?
