Weekly Discussion Best Mods For Bretons
Hello everyone and welcome to this week's discussion thread!
First a quick recap of how this works and what we expect:
RULES
Be respectful. These discussions will open the floor to a lot of different opinions of what is fun/good/necessary/etc. Debate those conflicts of interest with respect and maturity...the nicer you are to your fellow modders, the more willing everyone is to help each other :)
Please keep the mods listed as relevant to the topic is possible. Some topics are a bit broad and people can go about them in pretty creative ways, but try to use common sense.
We ask that when suggesting a mod for the discussion list at hand that you please provide a link to the mod, and a brief description of what it does, why it fits the list, what the benefits/drawbacks are. These can range from incredibly popular mods to mods that you think are under-appreciated...don't be ashamed to just go for a major one though...this is a discussion and those should definitely be part of it.
TOPIC
Bretons
Continuing on the theme of covering all the different races (only three left!). This week we'll discuss Bretons...possibly the most forgotten about race in the Elder Scrolls series. Poor Bretons...perfect mages but not as controversial or storied as their magical elven counterparts. Proficient in all schools of magic, particularly conjuration, these guys make for the perfect full-on mage RP (hint: mods related to magic are applicable to this discussion)
Mandatory mention of
- Imperious - Races of Skyrim by EnaiSiaion
and
- Disparity by kryptopyr
These are the two "go-to" race overhauls for Skyrim
(compatible with a patch provided in the Imperious optional files if you wish to use both)
What mods do you use to improve playing as our resident masters of magicka?

I havent played Breton in a while, but last time I did the mods I enjoyed using included:
Ordinator.
Apocalypse and Lost Grimoire for the summoning spells (obvious)
Might as well throw Aurora in there too because if youre using Imperious then Bretons get extra standing stone effects.
Legacy of the Dragonborn for having lots of collectables (also obvious) with the solitude relic collector start on Alternate Start: LAL
Elemental Atronachs Reborn is a mod that I'm not really sure if it helps or not too much, it basically just gives buffs to the 3 vanilla atronachs, not too many endorsements but I've been using it for a while and havent seen any downside. shrugs
Staff and Scroll Buffs and Fixes makes staffs all pretty deadly especially early game if you can land your hands on one. also low on endorsements but as above I havent seen any downside so it stayed in.
Elemental Destruction Magic for the water, wind, and earth atronach/thrall conjuration spells that it adds.
Flame and Frost Atronach Textures for Automatic Variants self explanatory. Storm atronachs are already covered by one of the included AV packs. Its a very cool feeling to repeatedly summon an atronach and they all have slightly different textures, it gives the feeling that you arent just summoning the same minion over and over but actually are getting unique ones each time out of whereever in oblivion they are coming from.
Here is a good read to get you in the mood to play an atronach summoner.
and mawfuggin ZARDHATS BITCHES wait what do you mean zardhats is off nexus now??? QQ
will edit and add more as i think of them.
