I'm a bit lost here!

Hello folks :)

It's been a while since I've been very active around here. I want to start playing Skyrim again and am looking to create a pretty solid modded build. Now for Oblivion this has always been relativly easy for me because I know what's out there and I know what works and where many of the issues lie. With Skyrim this is a bit different. All in all it's quite overwhelming and it has proven to be quite a pain to get what I want without running into too much trouble.

I just can't seem to get it right at the moment. Skyrim seems to be a bit more complex compared to Oblivion. There seem to be many modifications doing roughly the same thing in their own way, but some of them are slightly outdated causing issues with Dawnguard or are missing a few bits and pieces. All in all it has proven to be very confusing for a perfectionist such as myself who demands a solid load order, one that might not be entirely bugfree, but isn't a complete buginfested, CTD ridden piece of crap with conflicts and issues all over the place.

The most troublesome of the lot are basically race, face, vampirism, body mods together with eachother and with Dawnguard.

What do I want? Well "simple" really.

- DIMONIZED UNP female body
- Better Males body

- Vanilla+Dawnguard armor/clothing adjusted for "DIMONIZED" (if available)
- Vanilla+Dawnguard armor/clothing adjusted for "Better Males" (if available)

- Better face textures for male/female normal and (Dawnguard) vampires compatible with abovementioned mods, texture mismatch ruins all forms of immersion

- (Dawnguard) vampire looks related bugs fixed (eyes etc.)
- No more ugly vampire morphing except for fangs

- The above combined with Better Vampires by Brehanin 5.7

I have nothing against CBBE, perhaps some of you think this is a better option compatibility-wise and should be used instead. I just really hope it's possible to achieve this using DIMONIZED. I prefer my cleavage to be smaller in size and bodies less athletic :)

I also want to add some cosmetic mods such as improved textures for paints and scars, but they should be seperate from face textures AFAIK. Same would apply to hairs/eyes I suppose.

I would really appreciate some advice. Is it currently even possible to achieve this at the moment? Thanks in advance :)



TL;DR - I want to achieve the above without the game turning into a horrible texture mismatched CTD fest :)
