Switching from MWSE to OpenMW - looking for mod alternatives

Switching from MWSE to OpenMW - looking for mod alternatives

I finally bit the bullet and switched from MWSE to OpenMW. I'm glad to see a lot of MWSE mods have recently either been ported to OpenMW or have similar alternatives available.

Still, there are quite a few MWSE mods I miss and haven't been able to replace yet. I've been putting together a list of OpenMW-compatible replacements - can you help me find more?

It's possible to select multiple mods with shift+arrows, but pressing space disables only one of them. How to disable all selected mods? With keyboard?

Currently, only right-click and choosing "uncheck selected" seems to work.

Also, unchecking the mods seems to mess up the load order. I.e. before unchecking Rebirth, it was at the bottom of my modlist, but after unchecking it was moved higher, for some weird reason.
