I was hoping you guys could recommend me some good non-MWSE necromancy mods. I'd like something that makes roleplaying a necromancer slightly more viable.

I know about magical trinkets, but I don't really care for that mod. And of course Fligg's BR needs MWSE, which I can't use.

So, will you help a poor necromancer out?

Illuminated Order and Lichcraft work alongside each other, and if I'm remembering correctly using them together expands on both in some ways.

I'm curious though, why can't you use MWSE?
Just use the version that comes with MGE (you can use MGE for MWSE and nothing else if you like) and you shouldn't have any problems at all.

I'm not 100% certain, so my explanation is basically just guesswork, but it seems to corrupt my saves.

For the longest time I thought it was the MGE grass, since every time I saved outside I would never be able to load that save again. I even tried disable the internal mwse and just using the stand-alone version of mwse, but that didn't help. Yet even without it I had crashing and every once in a while that save problem. In my last game i had no mwse and used MGE and I had the most stable and pretty game to ever exist ever.

So no mwse it is.

Are those mods good for someone who doesn't want to become a lich?
