Survival Horror in Skyrim

This is the load order that I use to make Skyrim as terrifying as possible on the PlayStation, it focuses more on world and enemy visuals rather than player (though the player is not completely ignored) there are 98 mods in total, though a few are my own personal preference (marked with a *) and can be replaced or removed at your convenience.

The following (1-10) are required to load at the top or are forced to due to being ESL/ESM flagged

  1. Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch (USSEP)

  2. Unofficial Skyrim Creation Club Patch (USCCP)

3 Simple Workaround Framework (SWF)

  1. Vanilla Script Micro Optimizations

  2. KOVAC's Huge tree scale

  3. 13s Thiefbreaker and scarcity

  4. Frost and Flames: Survival Rebalance*

  5. Fury - Animal Taming of Skyrim*

  6. TDGs Zombies around Skyrim

  7. Wyrm - Dragon sounds Rework

The absolute non-negotiable core of the build, you skimp out on this you'll rob yourself of the experience

Anyone Down to add Morrowloot?

We have a couple ports of it already, but they all remove the deleveling of the world. I want rare loot *and* difficult enemies. In short, if you can add Morrowloot/Morrowloot Ultimate in it's entirety I'd be extremely grateful.
