I haven't played skyrim in about a year and just got the DLC's and I wish to make another playthrough with a few of my favorite mods plus new ones like skyrim redone. I'm making this topic asking if anyone can spot out compatability issues or general problems with my mods and maybe their load orders, or if anyone has suggestions to enhance my gameplay experience with mods that I haven't heard of before.

I'l pay a little bit of fg for helping with compatability issues and sharing suggestions that I like and use to improve my skyrim experience.

Mods that add content or difficulty are usually welcome.

Ideal Gameplay:
- Difficult gameplay, a more challenging skyrim experience with no shortcuts and less brainless enemies.
- Smithing takes a long time to level up, you must mine and treasure hunt for materials to level up and get stronger gear. I find that smithing ruins the game because its so easy to level up and turns the game into easy mode, if it legitimately takes 40-60 hours of dungeon crawling for materials to max out the skill then it lets the rest of the game catch up to your epic gear, it also makes you want to travel the world and hunt for treasure and materials.
- Items and levels are hard to obtain.

Mod Settings:
Skyrim Redone - Main, Races, Standing Stones, Enemy Scaling, Encounter Zones
HBE - Vendors No Components, 0.30 Slow Leveling, Everything else is untouched so its just changes 2 things.
Disable Fast Travel - Carriage Prices x10
Climates Of Tamriel - Hardcore Dungeon Darkness, Cold Interiors, Default Nights.

Mods: (I'm considering adding frostfall)

are you at the moment having any issues with mods or with their load order?

anyhow, get BOSS, it auto sorts the load order of your mods

I only have a very low level test character and haven't found any issues yet, though i'm a bit worried that gear may be too easy to get from enemies.

HBE being very outdated with new dlc and skyre items makes things complicated, the HBE mod makes getting good items a lot harder to get from enemies and shops but its about a year old without updates so it doesnt include skyre and dlc items.

I'l take a look at BOSS

I see that you would like a much more challenging Skyrim experience.

I really recommend the SkyTEST - Realistic animals and predators mod. It makes wolves react much more realistically (You'll see...), and makes wolves what they actually are - pack animals.

Of course there is also Deadly Dragons... And it is not for no reason that it is called Deadly Dragons. Not too hard, but definitely not easy. Changes the health pool and damage of dragons + adds some skills to them and much more.

ACE!!! A mod that makes enchanting harde to train, and makes smithing less overpowered. + other modular overhauls, so if you spot something while you install it with NMM that you want, add it. You will love this mod, and so will any other person on the planet.

And no, there is no compatibility conflicts or anything that I can spot. Just remember to read EVERY readme and description of mods, especially because mods from SkyRe conflicts with a few mods.

Hope this helped
