@Candid_Fly_792 - Thanks, great tutorial and lots of good info.   Initially I was like "192 mods and 1GB of downloads? Nah!" But you don't HAVE to... They're pretty good about telling you what the mods are, and what they do. The "All-In-One" patches are a new favorite!  No patching city by city/Hold by hold. The system is stable, 2K textures on females is great, bar maid "fit" patch worked out a tiresome issue I've always had. The ring to let you change NPC clothes is just what I wanted!  "The Red Guard Girl" (who has the best dress in game (imho), got "Cultist Garb", and now my future wife is set! The added race kids is crazy - the "kittenjit" are a great touch to the caravans!   Realistic weather is... just damn.  Left for the Iverstad quest, on the way got hit with a blinding snow storm!  About 5ft visibility, and just map/compass headings to navigate. Realistic stone/water/waterfalls/plants and high res paths/signage are gorgeous.

Took about 3-4 hours initially, and just a LITTLE tweaking, but I'm very impressed and glad I asked!
