Description
These mods are from nexus and also from subscribing here. They add reality, difficulty, practicality and lore friendly fun to the game.

Be a druid! Change into a sabretiger or a bear or a spider! Use the cosmos power instead of destruction power.

You have to find a way to keep warm if you are in a blizzard, or on a mountain. Go figure huh?

You will have to worry about eating for the first time. The weather and the time of day will determine if you will need to pull out your trusty lantern for light or if you are a mage you cast your alteration spell of light. So if it is raining or you swim in a river, you decide if you need to take off your heavy armor and put on your deerhide apparel (which will keep you warm). You can turn off or adjust these settings.

You can ride a horse and so can your companion. You can store the extra ore and the axe on your horse supply packs. You can summon your axe or pick instead of carrying it with you (you choose).

You can sort your ingredients instead of accidently eating half your supply just trying to store them! Works in the major homes around Skyrim.

Boss fights are more difficult. Also, fighting dragons are tougher.

Poison and traps are much more hurtful, and even deadly.

Some of the mods add new adventures and some of them give you new places to live.

******* READ ME *********
For whatever reason, loading more than 2 mods that modify housing, add housing, add towns; will crash to desktop. You will have to modify load order and it MIGHT squeeze the third mod, but in reality its a pain. No signs of this being resolved by TESV designers.
So my suggestion is run several at a time and then unload them and switch mods to see which ones are better. I do recommend buildable homes and q's windhelm basement. Better Proudspire looks good but I haven't checked it out yet.

Or ---- You can leave it all alone and subscribe to skyrim performance mod.esp
