A Place to Sleep | DK on Steam Workshop | Adds a few locations to sleep where one would expect to be able to sleep. | Makes a lot of sense and should have been in the vanilla game. | None. |

SkyUI | snakster on Steam Workshop | Alters the Skyrim UI. | Cleaner, easier to sort and see, makes text smaller and everything more organized. | Requires SKSE, which isn't always up-to-date; SKSE reliance can cause crashes if out of date. |
TweaksEdit

Auto Unequip Arrows | Alek on Steam Workshop | Automatically unequips arrows once a bow is unequipped. | Functions perfectly and avoids having to manually unequip arrows for visual preference. | None. |
Horses Ignore Combat | Cynick on Steam Workshop | Makes owned horses ignore combat. | Leads to far fewer horse deaths. | Everything else still attacks the horse. |
