Greetings, the title itself is enough self-explanatory, I have been a huge fan of SkyRE but as time goes and new mods are released it needs to be constantly upgraded with additional patches in order to properly work, especially with mods adding new weapons. I am starting to wonder if another overhaul mod could be better in this regard, considering the fact that the core components of SkyRE haven't been upgraded for a lot of time I am beginning to think that other mods could be a good replacement, or if possible I could consider adding different mods that improve individually the magic, combat, stealth and other aspects of the game mechanics.

Any advice?

I think all large overhaul mods eventually need patches for stuff like that. Out of curiousity, how many weapon mods are you using?

If I were you I would probably try http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/11163 (eating. drinking, sleeping), http://afkmods.iguanadons.net/index.php?/files/file/271-ars-metallica-smithing-enhancement/ to mention a few mods and I've a couple of times used these mods so I know they'll work quite well together.
