http://www.moddb.com/mods/skyrim-anime-overhaulDespite it being called Skyrim ANIME overhaul. Honestly, the bigger focus is on gameplay, challenge, graphics. You'll die as much as a roguelike, no joke. If you don't cheat, its hard as hell. Both version 1 and 2 need a hefty, need very good PC to run it as well. However, version 2 runs a bit better and is more stable. Especially a good CPU, most important hardware for Skyrim in general. And at minimum 4gb of video ram.
Can find the download links in the description. They are hefty downloads.
Version 1 is the "original" mod compilation. It came out years ago by someone named Appolyn/fabiencolombo (same person) and it was only available on torrent. Was posting on loverslab, but got deleted. Didn't make any changes if I recall. If I did, it would be really minor stuff. I DID remove the skyrim.exe, DLC files and most of the vanilla skyrim stuff that gets installed through steam since appolyn included all that. Otherwise, the mod itself should be as it was when I got it. Pretty much, his mod...changes most characters to female (and Monli females at that, so for those who know that race, yup. Google it if not
)
Oh, version 1 DOES use Mod organizer. That was the only major difference. Mod organizer wasn't even close to a thing when the mod was made.
And originally it changed the language to japanesee instead of english voices. But when I reinstalled it recently, it didn't work like that, but I know it used to so maybe something else was messing with it. Or maybe that part of it got changed or something, OR its because I took out all the vanilla skyrim .exe and stuff out of his mod. Dunno lol.
You'll find running around, dragons...dragons everywhere. Don't matter if you did any quest, level 1 and just started. Dragons. Terrible terrible dragons. Plus tons of other nasty stuff. You CAN however go around the dragons, and go around far enough they won't aggro. But still, death, lots of death.
Version 1 does not include Dawnguard/Dragonborn addons that Appolyn made with his mod (he made a bunch of custom stuff for it). They are a separate download on moddb. Dawnguard honestly I don't remember what Appolyn did with it. I think he changed vampire lord's appearance or something and other stuff. Dragonborn he changed Khajiits to a different race, new quests, new items and some other stuff.
Version 2 (which can be found in moddb description of the mod...its over 20gb) is a modernized, "enhanced" version that I did myself using version 1 as a base. I got rid of unofficial patches, replaced it with that new unofficial patch whatever its called. Updated a bunch of out of date mods, got rid of some of them that either sucked or bad for the game (like crimson blood). Added a bunch of mods. A better ENB that looks a lot better, but also performs a lot better (grim and somber azura, which I find looks great but loses very little performance). Added a new race, and there is a surprise character preset through racemenu (or you can just load the save, ends up being the same lol).
Changed the Monli in version 2 to be less creepy, and look more like an adult. Vastly better body quality and textures anyway. If you didn't google monli (which actually I didn't look, but I wouldn't be surprised if some of my screenshots showed up rofl), I'm sure you get the idea of Monli now lol. Too creepy for me, so I made monli an adult. HDT physics because what mod compilation doesn't have HDT? Its used in armor/hair as well (though hair is buggy with it, but HDT armor looks epic). And...lets see...well Dawnguard/Dragonborn addons are included. I added some additional SKSE tools for a more stable game. And...well some other stuff.
Version 2 overall though, despite having quite a bit more mods, is actually a lot more stable. And performs better. I still get terrible FPS, because my CPU is old and sucks. It isn't really Appolyn's original vision though. But my own take on his mod comp, modernized and better stability.
Oh and actually, I dunno if I added Falskaar or not...but I should have. I know I added Wyrmstooth/Moonpath to Elsweyr and some other ones. I added a bunch of new lands to version 2, since version 1 didn't have any. And the new lands add a lot of playtime and exploration to the game. Some quest mods too. But I didn't want to go overboard, so I only picked the "best" (popular) ones that are known to not cause issues. Plus the mod comp was getting close to being kinda script heavy (version 1 is too), so while its still really stable...if I added too many more mods, it would decrease stability. With that said, I forgot to add Frostfall (pretty sure), definitely forgot to add Hunterborn (best hunting mod for any game ever). I added those to my own game, and its still fine.
Won't be the biggest mod comp out there, like perfectly modded is stupidely big at over 300 mods (merged a lot of them) and I don't find it nearly as stable. However, anime skyrim used to be the rarest, hardest to find (if at all even possible) mod compilation for all of Skyrim. And his dawnguard/dragonborn addons couldn't even be found on google at all. It was just gone. I since re-uploaded Appolyn's stuff, to let his mod live on through the test of time. Then took version 1 and modernized it, and changed it to how I like skyrim. Plus better stability is always a bonus.
