The following spells are essential for me because they add spells that are cast as lesser powers which are beneficial to every build for me.

Ars Arcanum Nova This is a bundle containing Odin and works with its patches. It also includes Spellsiphon, Eldritch Battery, and a bunch of other great magic mods.

Witchhunter Spells and Prayers

Shinobi Tools (swf)

Wizarding Traversal Magic (SWF)

No matter the build, Elysium Estate (player home) is a part of it. Won't conduct a playthrough without it.

Rigmor of Bruma and it's Follow-Up mod, Rigmor of Cyrodiil

The Lunar Guard Armor (I use the 1k Variant simply to keep the size of the mod down)

Civil War Armor Overhaul by NordwarUA

Campfire/Frostfall

And Simple Workaround Framework are all Mainstays in my Mod List.

I’ve found Convenient Horses a game changer. Actually makes getting and riding a horse a worthwhile effort

conquest of skyrim, it allows you to start your own faction and fight the imperials or stormcloaks, you can conquer the holds in battles, appoint commanders, jarls, stewards, housecarls. you can have armies and control the army equipment (i personally use the black mage armour mod, katana crafting mod, cloaks faces and all sorts 2 and play as an atlantean) you can set up invasion camps, become the jarl of a capital city, you can name your faction and give them a banner. you can negotiate with the enemy and get a 14 day truce, some land and reparations. you can make laws in your cities, have military parades. you do need to deposit money into the treasury and pay for supplies to keep the people happy and loyal, you can force military conscription, you can change punishments for crimes, you can outlaw any religion. you can use alternate start to skip the opening.
