I’ve had a mod saved for a long time called Live another Life where you aren’t tied to the Dragonborn’s storyline and you can live as a farmer or whatever (I think there are a few options of where you start). Haven’t tried it yet because I’m still exploring new areas. What kind of playthroughs have yall done?
I’ve done one where I only walk everywhere, where I stay with the companions and rid myself of the werewolf curse, where Serana and I make money clearing bandits and building mansions, and I may try a play through using only magic.
Also the mod where you restore the original civil war plans is fun. Very time consuming though because you can lose territory that you have conquered in real time
Considering Bethesda has tried numerous times to monetize mods throughout Skyrim's lifetime, there is 0% chance they won't launch with some plan in place to do so this go around.
Between that and the increasing complexity that is modern gaming (thanks to jugaad India coding), its very unlikely to have the same ecosystem of mods that people have come to associate with the franchise.
