ISO WJ SSE/AE list with LotD, Requiem/Survival, harsh, dark, cold, realistic feel and near vanilla graphics, all for a long play through
To explain: I have more than 9k play time in vanilla and power fantasy styles. I want LoTD just for finally finishing all exhibits, not to sponge good equipment off it.
I do not want "cute" or "adult" but can live with just nudity. Realistic, not anime. Graphics should present Skyrim (at least the northern regions) as cold, unforgiving, harsh and deadly. Followers should be needed to survive, not for "Romance".
Planning to start as orphaned Khajiit Gal Merchant and see where Life shoves me from there.
I looked at Gate to Sovngarde but it seems to hang behind on WJ (No way I will ever do Vortex again) but also contemplating Skyground Chronicles, LoreRim and Librum.
I am familiar with modding using MO2, so adding or removing stuff isn't the problem.
Feel free to give your opinion on which list(s) would fit this. Throw all but the kitchen sink, please. And thanks in advance!
PS: I like to run nearly all Khajiit improvement mods, except for ja-Kha'Jay, and Kinggath's EEE and Bard Expansion, if that makes any difference.
