Skipping over the boring stuff, like the evergrowing list of bug fixes (Seriously there's like a new one every week. Though, given 2020s games also have a ton of bugs, it's just part of the immersion :p ), enb/reshade, and whatever else is basically mandatory before you can even start nodding Skyrim.
I've been giving a few of the bigger story mods a try. Even if they're old by Skyrim modding standards, I never got around to playing undeath, clockwork, or faskaar back in the day. With all the improvements and fixes over the years, they are relatively stable, and quite fun.
A relatively minor thing that really improved the life of the game for me was just swapping out the first person animations with CFPAO. I'm one of those people who just prefer first person, and even with Skyrim's simplistic combat, that little change made it feel a lot different.
Other than that, what really helped me back into it was finding a wabbajack mod list with things I mostly liked. Not having to spend weeks on modding and generating lods before playing is kinda new to me. Though, I'm still one of those bastards that will try update things even if it may be slightly unsafe to do so, as I'm no stranger to rooting around in the resaver and manually fixing scripts.
Good advice, I agree with you that first person animations matters. Was using Size Matters on Oldrim, I think I'll try CFPAO too.
