Zypher's Skyrim Mod Hall of Fame
I recently helped @SoulFallen mod his Skyrim again and I found it mildly annoying that I couldn't find everything I wanted in one place. I made a Google spreadsheet of Skyrim mods for everyone on the forum to use quite a while back, but I disliked how cumbersome that felt to edit and scroll through. So I'm going to make a categorized list as a forum thread. I'd like for people to be able to use this as an alternative to browsing the nexus for hours. I'm open to suggestions for mods and mod categories. The categories won't be ranked; they will be bulleted because this is a pretty subjective thing. Most of these mods will be mods that I've used in the past, but some will be mods that I've only seen used by others. This takes a lot of formating so I'm going to put one ENB at a time then edit it over and over again until I finish.
Please refrain from posting a hundred screenshots. Post an imgur album instead so this thread doesn't turn into a lag fest.

ENBs
The Grim and Somber ENB Collection
The Grim and Somber ENB collection of presets are fantasy and vintage based ENB's with a focus on a dramatic lighting with an intense atmosphere and mood. Do not look for a lot of realism in these ENB's as that is not the goal or aim behind them.
The Collection includes the following presets:
-
Azura
A very bright fantasy based ENB using all modern shaders and effects. Nights are bright and tinted for a strong fantasy feel. Days are crisp and colorful without being over-saturated. -
Hircine
A solid and dark preset that makes me think of the dark hunter with its deeper contrast and higher black levels. -
Jyggalag
The original classic preset that started the Somber series. Uses a recent version of ENB and has all the latest effects. -
Jyggalag Classic
Uses an older version of ENB. For nostalgia purposes. -
Malacath
New bloom settings along with all new shader code. It has custom weathers and is somewhat more saturated, with a touch more contrast, then the other presets (except Hircine). -
Sanguine
A fun fantasy preset with some bright nights and colors -
Sheogorath
Wild colors, intense lights mixed with desaturated tones, film flares and a crazy DOF. It is at times colorful and bright yet at others dim and dark. -
Vaermina
A heavy yellow-green tint, explosively bright bloom that can look awesome in some places but creates a nova light in others. It has a rather surreal feel to it at times -
Vaermina Classic
Uses the 236 binary as not to distort the original look of the preset which was made using the 199 binary.

This ENB gives Skyrim a more realistically grim, moody, and atmospheric feel.
The ENB has been split into two different presets. "First Seed" and "Morningstar".
Both can be found Here
For the original, click on the title above.

Textures
Textures will be hyperlinked and posted with no space in between then to save space.
I'm also going to rename the textures with stupid click-baity names like "UHD HYPER REALISTIC SUPER GRASS 2.0 ANNIVERSARY EDITION EXTENDEDFX".
You may wish to use the Texture pack Combiner to make your texture installing life easier.
Remember to install overhauls before individual textures so that the overhauls don't override the smaller, more specific textures
