IMPORTANT: Check every "UPDATING 1.91 -> 1.92:" to “surgically” update. When finished, run BOSS (step-4H) and enable the esps!
Updated “iCCC-ENB” to v1.58d, very minor stability update.
Added "CORE!" (with exclamation mark) to tag the mods that I consider more than core: essentials.
Added "FPS!" (with exclamation mark) to tag the mods hugely affecting performance.
Changed "DETAILED INSTALLATION" name to "COMPILER'S ADVICE", to better give the intended idea.
Updated guide format thanks to MS Word.
Updated step-4B1 with newer/removed mods.
Updated comparison screenshots.

Mods ADDED:

2-(CORE-FPS)Better Containers (UPDATING 1.91 -> 1.92: DON'T overwrite)
3-(FPS)HQ Milky Way Galaxy (NOTE: Install AFTER "Skyrim HD”, overwrite. UPDATING 1.91 -> 1.92: Overwrite)

Daedric Weapons Enhanced
(FPS)Dragon Glyphs HD (NOTE: I recommend "Dragon Smooth" version. UPDATING 1.91 -> 1.92: Overwrite)

Conjuration and Summoning Fixes

Sound of Nature - Water (NOTE: I recommend to use the “Lower File Size” version to reduce game freezes, but stability is not assured!)

Mods added as NON-Recommended:

(CORE-FPS!!)Lush Trees (NOTE: FPS hit is imho not worth the visual improvements, pines seem too big. Since it's a matter of tastes, I encourage you to try this mod and see for yourself)

Mods REMOVED:

Chopper HD (Overwritten by "Tobes Highres Textures")
HD Furniture and Barrels (Overwritten by "Tobes Highres Textures")
HD Bar Retexture (Overwritten by "Tobes Highres Textures")
Extra Spell Hotkeys (Made obsolete by "Extra Hotkeys". UPDATING 1.91 -> 1.92: Remove the 2 “Extra :* Spell Hotkeys” asi and ini files from your Skyrim folder or Skyrim/Asi folder)
Item Icons OR QD Inventory (Not compatible with "SkyUI", which includes its own icons. UPDATING 1.91 -> 1.92: Remove the “inventory components” folder and “craftingmenu.swf” file from your Data/interface folder)
Main Font Replacement (Not compatible with "SkyUI". UPDATING 1.91 -> 1.92: Remove the “fonts_en2.swf” file from your Data/interface folder)
New Firewood (Overwritten by "Tobes Highres Textures")
Ruins Pot Retexture (Overwritten by "HD Urns Retex")

New/Updated mod NOTES:

1-Bellyaches Animal Pack (NOTE: I recommend “Default Animal Replacement” version. UPDATING 1.91 -> 1.92: Install " Default Animal Replacement " version if you want to follow my suggestion)
Lost Art of the Blacksmith (USE "Bethesda Safe" version if your Skyrim is updated to v1.2 or higher), More Craftables and Vals Crafting Meltdown (NOTE: use these 3 mods together, they work in synergy. Alternatively you can use the more popular Tytanis - The Ultimate Mod which, despite its awesomeness, is rather overpowered. UPDATING 1.91 -> 1.92: If you want to follow my recommendation, remove Tytanis and install the other 3, or just keep Tytanis if you prefer it)
(CORE-FPS!)Vurts Flora Overhaul (NOTE: Expanded -COMPILER’S ADVICE- with more details and added comparison screens, added "Gloomy Snowy Pines" addon recommendation. UPDATING 1.91 -> 1.92: Install "Gloomy Snowy Pines" addon and follow again the compiler's advice to remove the 2 new branch files)
