Added the BOSS guide in step-4E to easily sort esms/esps in Data.
Added "DETAILED INSTALLATION" suffix to mods requiring particular procedure for my recommendations.

Other small guide enhancements.

Mods added as NON-Recommended*

Better Sorting (NOTE: Unfortunately, this is not compatible with "Vals Crafting Meltdown" mod. I'll include this eventually, if a compatibility addon will be available)
Monster Retex Packs (NOTE: I personally don't like most of the changes expecially the over-saturated colors. This is just my personal taste (on which this guide is mainly based), if you like the mod, use it!)

Realistic Magical Impacts (Replaced by "Deadly Spell Impacts")
Tree LODs With Shadows (Replaced by "Enhanced Distant Trees")

New/Updated mod NOTES (only the main changes, minor notes are too many to be listed):

Skyrim HD - 2K Textures -DETAILED INSTALLATION- (NOTE: I strongly recommend use "Alternate Mountains" addon, looks much better even if older. Overwrite when prompted)
A Higher Quality of Shields -DETAILED INSTALLATION- (NOTE: Install AFTER "High Resolution Armors", overwrite)
Beauty Faces by necKros (NOTE: Install AFTER "XCE", overwrite. If you like really beautiful -but not very lore friendly- women faces, use Better Females by Bella instead)
Better Landscape Textures -DETAILED INSTALLATION- (NOTE: Install AFTER "Skyrim HD", overwrite)
Realistic Water Textures -DETAILED INSTALLATION- (NOTE: I recommend to also use "Ocean and River Textures" and "Reduced Object Splashing" addons. NOTE2: Install AFTER "Skyrim HD", overwrite)
Spamheinzs HD Houses -DETAILED INSTALLATION- (NOTE: I recommend to use the older v1.1 version, not the new 1.5 or 1.6. NOTE2: Install AFTER "HQ Towns and Villages", overwrite)
Vurts Flora Overhaul -DETAILED INSTALLATION- (NOTE: Install AFTER "Skyrim HD" and "Chris2012s Whiterun HQTP", overwrite)
