I played skyrim back in the olden days, but i was just a wee lad and used cheats to rush through the main story without ever experiencing the a lot of the other/side/optional/good content game had to offer.

I just bought skyrim special edition on sale and want to do a proper playthrough, but i want to improve the experience through MODS, and there are just so many mods and modlists idk what to pick, so i'm seeking your suggestions, i have a few criterias/nice to haves:

• Doesn't turn the game into minecraft / gta / call of duty etc
• Improves combat without turning it into dark souls / devil may cry
• Improves all areas of the existing game like enemy variety, gear variety, npc behavior etc. I know a lot of big mods add new areas and all, which is fine, but if i had to pick i would improve the main game experience first.
• Doesn't delevel the whole world, i wanna feel getting powerful not struggle to fight crabs late game.
• Graphic/texture improvements without turning it into real life 2, i have a mere 3070 :(
• Ideally under 100gb? I won't be getting nexusmods subscription as i don't like the idea of spending more on a sub than i did on the game itself.. I don't mind spending 1-2 days downloading mods on the side while i'm doing something else

I recently bought my first ever IEM, 7Hz zero 2
I connected them to my PC in the 3.5m jack, they got detected as speakers and when i play audio in left channel i can also hear in right.
I'm not able to get the mic to work at all
I've tried tweaking all kind of settings in windows and in realtek audio center

It's not the iem's fault as i can get them to work on my laptop but i can't figure out how to fix that on my desktop

Do i need to buy something maybe? Some other setting i need to tweak? Missing drivers? Idk

I've been looking around for a few hours trying to find one that'll be a right fit for me. I've been on various subreddits, saw various videos, read various suggestions

And EVERYONE seems to be suggesting different things so it's really confusing what to buy..

Anyways,

My budget is around $25 (3000 INR)
I'll only be using this with my PC (I have a headphone jack and USB type A port on it)

I'm looking for great audio quality for watching movies and listening to music and to a lesser extent, gaming and for that reason i want it to have a mic also.

Now a major thing is, i really dislike how most of them look, cheap colorful plasticy cluttered look..
I prefer something more simplistic like moondrop chu 2 (They seem to have issue with humidity so it might not be a good choice for me in india)

I know i'll all different suggestions here so instead i'm asking HOW i can pick one that'll suit me?
