Hey all,
I'm about to start a new playthrough with Requiem as my main mod.
Just to give you an idea where I'm coming from: haven't played for about 2 years (maybe more, can't remember), as Witcher 3 and more recently Fallout 4 were my games of preference preceded by a stretch of no gaming at all. I've played through the game twice on PS3 "back in the day" (so, Vanilla) and once using SkyRe and a host of complementary mods. This will probably be my last SKyrim playthrough so I want to make it a good one.
THe goal: to make the experience as Morrowind-like as possible with regards to character progression. (you could say: just go and play Morrowind, but I will be doing that sporadically anyway. So. On to Skyrim)
In addition: I want to keep my mod list as clean as possible and not be fiddling around with load orders and what have you for hours on end. Also, the goal for me is not to make this a 200+ hour experience, so it doesn't need to be drawn out with mods that provide busy work and such.
The request: do you have any ("must-have") now mods that I should consider /+ what are your thoughts on the below mod setup?
This is my setup:
Intel Core i5 3450
Nividia GTX 970
8GB of RAM
This is what I have in mind, but mind you: this is based on my knowledge of mods, 2 years ago and some reading up I did today.
Utilities:
BOSS --> has this now been replaced by LOOT?
NMM
Wrye Bash
SKSE
Likely:
Unofficial Patches --> have these now been replaced by Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch? I don't have the Legendary Edition mind you...I DO have all the expansions and DLCs.

High-Res Pack of choosing

All input is very much appreciated!
