>every thread has a dozen posts of people complaining that it takes too long to mod skyrim after they deleted all their mods because of post nut clarity or because skyrim sucks or whatever
Why not just not delete your mod list? If you don't want to spend hours redoing everything then just stop turning it into a Sisyphean ordeal for yourself. And if you don't like Skyrim's gameplay and just want to jack off then don't bother with gameplay overhaul mods and just use console commands and cheats to turn the game into your personal sex sandbox.
