This is a list with links to the mods I am currently using. See Goals at bottom of post.
Please do note I watch several mods daily for updates in progress, when more substantial versions arise I will add certain mods to this list for your ease.
There are no advlt or Mature rated mods posted here and there never will be.
I have been testing/playing with all of these so you should not run into conflicting issues. (between all mods listed)
First off:
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1013
This allows your game to use more memory and thus using multiple enhancement/minor mods will keep you from slowing down.
Note: If you use any .esm or .bsa mods you need to enable them from the original launcher then close it and relaunch with 4GB Skyrim.
Character Mods (Faces, Body, Etc):
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=944
Note: This will make your Argonian/Kajiit textures look better and cleaner, it also reduces that very annoying shine that even appears on chickens.
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=498
Note: Just look at the pictures provided, the eyes become much more life like with the retexture.
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=689
Note: This improvement is not vast but when you have all the facial mods to make your character look better this helps it all fit together.
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=256
[I}Note: Again reference pictures. There are also wash mods to remove the dirt (even hair) but I do not use those.[/I]
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=26
Note: This really sharpens up your PC and makes them look great. Perfect for you Youtuber and Snap Shot takers.
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=30
Note: Seemingly unnoticeable it really actually makes quite an overall impact on facial structure and detail.
This section will list environmental/item/animal modifications/retextures.
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=362
Note: See Pictures (Multiple Choices)
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=436
Note: See Pictures (Multiple Choices)
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1292
Note: Better Quality and more fitting style for the wolves of Skyrim.
Retextured Elk/Caribou
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1026
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1138
Note: Preference Based. More Realistic.
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=238
Note: Vast improvement over current default textures.
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2146
Note: I suggest the highest definition due to how noticeable it is in comparison to medium.
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=116
Note: Realistic Sunglare.
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=937
Note: This is only really recommended if you read books/notes ect in Skyrim.
Realistic Food
Note: Vast improvement over the poorly textured default skins.
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=596
Note: Check pictures, some recoloration is added with detail.
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1994
Note: I recommend this for any Circlet wearer.
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1154
Note: This is not a mind blower but imo it looks a lot better.
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=225
Note: The detail is far more noticeable in first person view. Do not use with other shield texture mods/replacement textures .
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2051
Note: This covers the dress a lot of women in Skyrim wear. A large improvement.
Nightingale Armor
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1896
Note: This retextures the armor and makes it vastly better quality, I advise if you use/plan to use this armor.
HD Basket/Sacks
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2782
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2836
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1178
Note: Adds arrows to each armor set (excluding dragon I believe). Very helpful for archers.
Missing Mod Note: Unfortunatly it seems the multiple styles for high definition poisons and potions/drinks have been taken down for some reason.
If these can be found I would highly recommend them due to several styles and quality.
Silly Level of Detail (that is the first part of the mod name)
My Goal
Is to make a list here and update it frequently with mods that I have installed and gotten to work properly together. I will even be uploading videos when I can of the improved textures and make a list showcasing each one. None of these files are my work and the credit goes to all original makers.
This is just a list for people who do not have time to look up mods and just a quicker list for people.
