I've been seeing a lot of suggestions on Lemmy to bring over posts from Reddit in order to beef up engagement, and this was one of my last posts on Reddit before arriving here, so I figured maybe asking the question here as well might be useful. And hey, maybe some new answers will come out of asking the question again, too!

Anyway, to establish why I asked the question the first time, Children of the Pariah, an orc overhaul by the author of Project ja-Kha'jay, was moved off of Nexus and onto Tumblr a while back. This got me curious as to what other mods might be hiding on various other websites that aren't normally brought up, since as we all know, Nexus is essentially the central hub for mod downloads.

Of course, I have to assign a caveat that, much as the sidebar for this community states, NSFW mods are a thing. In this case, not only would NSFW mods be low hanging fruit in this specific conversation, since we all know that there are a lot of them off of Nexus, but I also have a strong personal preference towards not including that kind of content in my load order. So instead I want to narrow the playing field to mods that are specifically Safe For Work/family friendly.

Not that I'm literally taking my personal copy of Skyrim to an office building or handing it off to a five year old. Those terms are simply turns of phrase that I hope get across what I'm asking about decently well. I'm looking to. . .ace my Skyrim load order, so to speak.

As mentioned above, I myself am currently using Children of the Pariah. I'm also aware of at least a couple of hosting sites where one can find some, including AFK Mods (although considering Arthmoor's reputation, I can see why some people would forego downloading from that specific hub). But I'm very curious to hear what everyone else is using from places outside of Nexus! If we're lucky, maybe all of us can discover some new things.

There are a few good mods on the Skyrim Guild website. They are mainly focused on combat and animation.

Arthmoor's various village mods (adds and expansions) on AFKMods. They look like they came with game disk. They add stuff that it's hard to imagine wasn't there before. Like a house for Lokir in Rorikstead.

Sforzinda's armor and clothing mashup mods are always my first answer to this question, because they are so good. The Nexus has supporting patches, like bodyslide conversions and compatibility tweaks.

My second answer is always high-poly-head, which is a SFW mod on a very NSFW site. But it's such a good visual upgrade!
