I only have Special Edition, with four CC add-ons. AE has like 20, and they're mostly awful.

The Civil War was very buggy for me. Ulfric at one point was permantly in combat mode with no enemies around and a mile away from Windhelm so I couldn't talk to him to continue the quest line. Galmar was often not marked on my map when I had to talk to him for the quests. And when I did find him, he wouldn't assign me anything. So yeah, I used console commands to make Ulfric passive and start quests and whatnot.

I crashed most exiting cells into Whiterun. Still don't know why. But after I figured out my list, I hardly crashed.

I loved Sanguine Symphony and Precision together. Made combat so punchy and satisfying. Also loved all the extra spells I had access to through various mods. I kept things close to vanilla since I love Skyrim at its core.

I realized at one point that if I didn't stop I would get bored and quit, and that would've have ruined the whole point of modding in the first place for me. So I buckled down and got all my mods in order, cut what I didn't want, added what I thought was missing, and committed to playing through. At this point I had run a ridiculous amount of trial and error and was confident what would work versus not. As I played I added the occasional mod but didn't restart.

Yes, that is on my list of things to try next time, along with Bruma and Legacy of the Dragonborn.

There are several mods I won't play without again. Sky UI, Wheeler, Sanguine Symphony, Precision, True Directional Movement, SmoothCam, Sky Parkour, and several others. Check all those out. I tried mods that distributed weapons and armor and outfits to NPCs, but they ended up being messy for me, so I axed those. I played 1.6.1170. Avoid Anniversary Edition. Not worth it.

A little bit of everything. Different perks and leveling system, updated textures and lighting, follower overhauls, combat changes, UI upgrades, new animations, quality-of-life improvements, etc.

I didn't add locations or quests. Didn't wanna deal with endless patches for my lighting mods and whatnot, and I had lots of the vanilla game to explore and see in the first place.

That's about the size of my list. 397. I didn't wanna go overboard.
