Stability

This guide represents what I truly believe to be the most stable and reliable Skyrim mod list available on the internet.
It is the result of nearly 2 years of research, testing, and refinement, carefully adjusted for balance, immersion, and long-term playability.

⚠️ However, please note: while the overall load order is extremely stable, individual mods may still present issues depending on your system, hardware, or other unique conditions. These are rare, but possible.

Tested on my Legion 5i (GTX 2060, 12GB RAM), the game ran smoothly with over 60 FPS consistently.

Compatibility

Built and optimized for the official Steam release of Skyrim SE/AE, latest version 1.6.1170.

What’s inside:

• Direct links to all mods from their official sources.

• A fully tested load order for stability and performance.

• Step-by-step installation instructions.

• Compatibility notes and performance tips.

• Visual previews to showcase the end result.

• Unique heart-based ranking system for 147 followers.

Important Notice

• No mod files are included.

• All mods remain the property of their respective authors.

• This guide provides only the curation, testing, organization, and instructions needed to replicate the setup.

By purchasing this guide, you are supporting the extensive time, effort, and testing that went into creating what I consider the most stable large-scale Skyrim experience currently available.
