You might consider making an MO2 mod profile that hedges very close to a vanilla game. Just to have an environment to test your creations in outside of your fully modded game that will obviously always have its own dependencies.

Have you spent time making an overly in-depth backstory for your character? Complete with goals and motivations and reasons why they're out exploring the world? I genuinely hate to break it to you after you've spent time modding the game, but there are only 2 reasons to play Skyrim in 2025:

1) You enjoy the setting and you want to play out your own stories in it.
2) You make it into a porn game.

If one of those two things isn't true for you then there are simply better games available. This ain't the one.
