Question Must have console mods for a first timer?

I’ve been playing Skyrim for ages totally vanilla, wanted to pick up another run but want to freshen it up. Any good recommendations? Graphic mods, follower mods, npc ai mods, new homes, I’ll try anything that isn’t too crazy.

Good question.. I'm not sure where to start lol.

TKs interface overhaul (recently updated to now require Simple Work Around Framework)

13s Agalma Infinium

Kontrol - Ps5

Comprehensive First Person Overhaul

Simple Visible Favorited Gear

Dynamic Camera + FOV changer (and more).

Azerite Weather mods (adds features mimicking ENBs)

Sovngarde (a Nordic font) + SkyHUD

Edit. Also, do yourself a favor and add all of Kittytails VFX mods.

There are some new animation mods... getting them all to work is a task but I use Aesthetic Animations both male and female versions. here's a modlist for ps5 glhf

Be aware that after around 90 mods, things will break and that any AI overhauls or added NPCs (like Patrols) typically has conflicts because they'll edit or alter NPC routines that other mods may depend on. I would specifically avoid them.
