Ok my apologies. I assumed that the OP was informed enough about Nexus, that's why I didn't consider linking (aside from the fact that I was using a tablet that time). Also, Nexus is the only place I've been through with regards to MODs. So I assumed the OP had gone through what I've been through and was just disappointed about the rankings. Oh well, my apologies.
I haven't seen any exe file MOD yet.
Like I stated first, (Nexus has) an abundant supply of MODs. Just a little too much of a good thing. At first, I only read through particular categories (i.e., Companions, Animation, etc.) then filter them descending by endorsements. Later on, I went through all of the current ones that time (about a month ago) and found out that there are some underrated MODs out there too. Like I said, there's just too much of them.
Some of my favorite combinations:
Eye soothing MODs:
Improved AtmosphereUniversal Dye KitThe Winter ForgeA Sexier Alistair ... well, I'm now learning how to use the toolsetSacred Ashes Sten ... well, I'm now learning how to use the toolset
The Icons ProjectHelm Removal and other versions... but I like this one most
Deathblow MultiplierWhite Teeth ... and fresher breath
Shale Retextured ... a rock is a ROCK!
Unarmed Staff CastingSpell Shaping (used on my second run) ... the easy way out
To ease the pain:
Innodil's Pocket Plane (careful, though, might get a little over-powered with this)"The Advanced series" (
Advanced Tactics,
Advanced Quickbar, and
Advanced Party)
Teleport (have mercy on your feet... no cars yet that time)
Combat TweaksMadd Gift GuideCharacter Respecialization and its many forms
For future runs:
Adopted ... I won't accept that Dwarves cannot learn magic... it's my fantasy dabbit!
Expanded Shape Shifting (for a full-on Shape Shifter using no other skills but that)
Wildkin Adept (I miss blue magic... and it's for rogues!)
Ritualist and Warlock (interesting but a little too strong at the start)
Death Knight ... I believe double-handed warriors should have a little something extra sometimes.
Chantry Monk (Everybody loves Kung Fu fighting!)
(le pant!)And I love these extra quests:
Alley of Murders (love love love)
Dark Times (if I won't include this, DA community will banish me... well, I'd banish me too)
Bloodworks (another love love love)
Castle CouslandTemple of Vulak (uhh.... I haven't finished this one yet)
