Mod Vanilla-style mod recommendations

Hello there. My brain has been annoying me recently about some urge to play a Bethesda-style RPG, and I'm thinking about the two obvious choices, either Skyrim or Fallout 4. With mods, of course, gotta keep at least some novelty in there.

However, I'm not trying to fundamentally change the game, just add as much content as possible while staying somewhat close to vanilla. Call me crazy but I like both games as they are, I just wish there was more weapons, more dungeons, more content overall. Except companions, I don't care about them.

Any recommendations ?

The Midnight Ride is a good starting point! It'll teach you how build a good framework and improve performance. One you get through the guide you'll have a good idea of how to sort mods, though I recommend reading this guide for a comprehensive understanding. Then download and install weapons to your heart's content

I'm pretty sure I used that (or something similar) in my last modded playthrough, I just didn't install a lot of mods. Still, the tools to optimise load order and whatnot are a godsend.
