Falskaar. Normally, I don't like using New World mods, but this one is superb. It has the WORKS. New music, unique weapons, custom dialogue, quests galore, and the best part, it literally blends in PERFECTLY to Vanilla.

Heavy Armory. It adds a lot more weapons to Skyrim, and they are 100% balanced. At least 100 weapons are added, with all unique traits. To name a few, Hatchets (THE PAIN!), Clubs (THE PAIN!), Mauls (THE PAIN!), and Spears (THE REACH!).

Guard Dialogue Overhaul is a cute little mod in which expands guard phrases and quotes to include unused and barely used ones. For example, guards never used to say "Heard the Gourmet is hiding out somewhere in Skyrim. You know, fellow who wrote that cookbook."

Download them here!

Heavy Armory is also available off of Steam, but I like Nexus for my modding. Nexus also requires creation of an account for the larger downloads. It's free and it's worth the time.

To install, simply copy-paste all the contents from the mod's .zip file into Skyrim's Data folder. Steam files work wonders, and do all the work FOR you. Load order shouldn't really matter with these mods, because they are too wide and different to affect each other.
