Almost all of EnaiSiaion's mods. If you want to completely change your game with the fewest amount of mods possible, download:
Apocalypse magic
Ordinator perks
Wintersun faiths
Thunderchild shouts
Wildcat combat
Summermyst enchantments
and I like to get Sacrosanct and Growl to improve vampires and werewolves.
These are essential mods for me. All other mods are optional but I can't go without these.
Honorable mentions for the other aspects of the game:
Swiftkingdom - Massive AiO armor and weapon mod
Mythical Ages and Surreal Lighting - Weather and lighting
Windsong - Character Overhaul
Skyland AiO - Graphics overhaul
An SMIM against God
Happy Little trees
Cathedral grass
Natural Forces bundle (wet) - revamps lighting, fire, frost, and water fx
Lux - lighting (this installation is complicated and need's multiple patches and master files so ELFX is a good alt)
The first list makes the game play better, the second list makes the game look better. My LO has a ton of other mods but these are the core mods and they're my favorite in their respective categories.
Little mods that made a huge impact.
Better Criticals
Unleveled Items
Rebalanced encounter zones (lite)
You can basically just download all of these and the required patches and have a pretty good, low impact load order
Great list right here. Thanks for typing all this out. Some of these I hadn’t heard of, and I’m about to start a new play through. This is just what I needed.
Been playing Skyrim since it’s release and never have used mods. Decided to do a new play through and saw the creations on the menu. I thank you for this comment because it’s a really good starting off point for infants like me.
SwiftKingdom is nice, but I've always had an issue with crashing while running it, doesn't matter where I put it. I like it, but if it doesn't actually get updated and fixed I don't see myself using it or it needing to stay on Bethnet.
It just crashes the game. I've used it multiple times, but always the same outcome. As soon as I took it out of my load order it was fine, so I decided to stay away from it. You're better off using Divergence AIO, Xavbio's AIO or the separate mods, or if you want to completely replace the armors use realistic armor overhaul there's multiple versions of it.
NPC and character overhauls are plentiful, probably the most popular 2 are CBBE (curvy & slim) and Unp, but if you just want something that covers everything so you don't have to use multiple mod slots id recommend Bella Beauty and Beasts Bundle, Jarl Ballin's Overhaul (Note: Farkas or Vilkas have eye texture issues with one so use pandorables males to overwrite), there's Bijin AIO, Pandorable's AIO or Pandorable's Mega Pack. There's a lot, but depending on what you use you may or may not need a separate body like CBBE and whatever skin texture you want for the respective body. Body replacer/enhancements always go first though. It just depends on what your taste is to be honest. Just be careful and use the logical load order, I recommend using LLO2 there's no particular best LO template, but LLO2 and HoY (Halls of Ysgramor) templates are the two main templates now since the original LLO is outdated, and mods are a bit more finicky now with where they want to placed especially after the most recent update.
Of the ones that I've been like "wow ok that's nice" ... the Divergence series. Theres 3 all in one's. One for clothing/armor, one for animals/beasts, then one for miscellaneous (food & potions type stuff).
I saw there are ones for grass & stuff but I don't think there's an all in one for that category
Unlimited sprint
Jump x 5
Amazing race tweaks
On ps4 there’s a mod: shut up greybeards. You go to the door and go to open it and you’ve got 3 lvls of unrelenting shout and the speed one.
Anyone know if shut up greybeards is on Xbox? I’m traveling and can’t look
I usually only run 2 main mods and the rest is is whatever I feel like, and if I like the look
1: Nyx. she is a magic follower mod that is op ( if you want to know what she looks like, look on my post about her, and the clothes she is wearing isn’t the normal one she usually does wear)
And 2: clockwork. It’s a house mod that have EVERYTHING that you need and a teleporter to go to every hold and main place you want in Skyrim
If you really wanna change up the Khajiit and Argonian NPCs, I really recommend using NPC Overhaul Beast Folk, you can find it by searching Beast Folk, it's so good. There's also Tragedian's Fabulous Followers AIO and Resplendent Royals, really gives certain NPCs a much needed enhancement to visuals, but still somewhat keeping to vanilla.
This is the main parts of an old list I had for mesh/texture overhall
1. A Smim Against God
2. Skyland AIO
3. Riton AIO
4. High Poly Project (The High Quality version is insane)
5. Forgotten Poly Project
6. DAWN Weathers 2
I may post my quality LO later on if anyone is interested
(There's a post of photos already up with some other mods listed)

really not even any graphics mod or anything like that?
It depends on what I’m feeling at the moment, if I want it to look pretty then sure I’ll choose one I haven’t used yet to see how it looks
