Skyrim Gameplay Rebalance

Big parts of this pack was done by Garfink. Big thanks to him. The aim of Skyrim Gameplay Rebalance is to rebalance Skyrim's difficulty without making enemies into health-sinks. This is achieved by adjusting sizes of mobs, increasing spawn points, the types of spawns, giving more potions, magicks and perks to the NPCs, improving their AI and allowing NPCs to use enchantments, all the while not nerfing the hero. This pack was balanced by Garfink. Garfinks rebalancing was in my opinion focused on a hardcore player and with all mods recommended by him the game was impossible for me to play. I am more of a casual player though and many people will enjoy the full experience of this pack. I have split the pack into two parts where the second part is only installed by hardcore players.

Casual

The following mods are recommend for both casual and hardcore players. If you are not installing the hardcore mods the recommended in game difficulty setting is Adept but that can be lowered if the game is to hard for you.
