Listed below is a short summary of all the Animonculory modlists, and what mods you should familiarize yourself with prior to playing the game.
Anvil is designed as a forge for creating on. It can be used to build your own list, create mods, and also be played as is. It is fully documented with all changes and tweaks to mods being detailed in the notes part of Mod Organizer 2, and aims to be light in its footprint.
Mods to get familiar with:
Do Not Go Gentle started off as a personal list that was built off of AVO-AE with Requiem. Eventually, I liked what I had built enough to share with others. You'll see a different choice of followers than the usual, quest additions, vanilla quest tweaks/enhancements, a full combat overhaul, a religion overhaul, along with npc replacers, a full visual overhaul based on AVO-AE, and lots of character customization options.
This list is designed as Requiem modlist with Bruma, Wyrmstooth, VIGILANT, and lots of other additions to extend the life of your character playthrough. I did not build this to be a painful list to play, but Requiem does make you plan out your actions more than vanilla Skyrim. I find my build to be a reasonable balance between difficulty and enjoyment, and maybe you will too.
Mods to get familiar with:
- Requiem
- Requiem - Noxcrab's Tweaks
- Requiem - Magic Redone
- Requiem - Scions of the Night
- Horizon Zero Dawn Fast Travel

Have you ever launched Skyrim and wished you could play as any other character except the Dragonborn of Legend? Do you appreciate friendly survival mechanics, classic RPG elements, and discovering the strengths and weaknesses of opponents to better tackle the new challenges they present? Are you a fan of playing as a Khajiit?
If you answered "yes" to any of the above, then Krahven might be the list for you.
