Welcome to the Skyrim Total immersion guide

In this guide you will learn how to make your game as

realistic and immersive as possible.

There are two types of mods we'll be listing:

Immersion Core Files (ICF)
Optional Immersion Mods (OIM)

As you can guess, core files are the ones you must get, but remember, its your
Skyrim, you don't have to download anything you don't want.
All of these mods are compatible with each other. If you download
Something else and find its incompatible with any of the
mods listed here, please report them
