Mod List: Expanded Vanilla
154 mods
List Usage
Remember these points when following a mod list:
- Install each mod from the list in order.
- Pay attention to mod descriptions and special usage notes.
- When you've finished installing everything, consult the CFG Generator for a properly sorted plugin order.
- The CFG Generator has presets for each mod list, so you can see the exact order this list should have.
- There will be a "Final Checklist" step, be sure to take a look at that even if you don't go through every mod in the list.
List Description
The Expanded Vanilla list tries to preserve the look and feel of the vanilla game while adding a decent amount of new content.
Things such as high resolution mesh or texture replacers are avoided, while land and quest mods, gameplay tweaks, and more are considered.
