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
