Quick question
Do the mods mentioned require the DLC's or will they work with the base game?

When I checked, most required at least Dawnguard and often Dragonborn as well.

Ivory&Gold: Frostfall - Haven't tried it yet. Strikes me as too anal.
Describe what do you mean by 'too anal' and I'll tell you why you're wrong :-P

I wager it's too complex and involved for my tastes. The kind of thing that is super cool for the first couple of hours, but soon starts to get repetitive and annoying and in the way of just doing quests. Realistic Needs and Diseases I like because it's so lightweight - it gives a bit of structure to the adventuring day and makes expeditions require some preparation, but it never gets in the way of just doing whatever I'd like to at any given moment. There's another hypothermia mod out there that is much more basic and appealed to me more, but I think it's discontinued by now.

Anyway, I might try out Frostfall's casual mode should I begin a new playthrough. Can always uninstall it when it starts to get annoying.

BF?
If you don't mind my asking, how much was your anthology?
It is $35 @ amazon.com, and may get it.

Picked it up on and Amazon.com lightning deal for $24.99 on Black Friday. It wasn't flying off the shelf, per se, even at that price as it was like that for a couple hours at least.

Considering it includes Skyrim Legendary edition I thought so as well seeing the prices that alone is going for!

You are so incredibly wrong! The sun imploded under the weigth of you being wrong!

Eh, anyway - the most bothersome part of the mod is the fact that you have to make fire every now and again to stay warm, and that's in the coolest areas of Skyrim (Windhelm - Winterhold - Dawnstar - Morthal + area between Solitude and the coast). That's it. Most of the time, you will get warm just by staying a bit in inns or just exposed fires around the world in the cooler regions and you don't need to care about cold at all in temperate ones (Whiterun, Falkreath, Riften - you won't even notice frostfall most of the time unless you travel into the mountains). And ... Yeah, that's it, really. You have to take heed not to freeze in a tent that you erect, possibly by erecting it next to a fire - and it's imperative that you get warmer after getting wet in freezing environment. Casual version removes the need to change your equipment for weather and you can freely fast-travel.

Id like a mod that would sync the in-game time to your actual time where you live.
And if you don't play for 2+ hours, when you load your game you would have earned some gold.
IE. the gold comes from what your character would of been doing if you was playing. Such as hunting for furs to sell :P

I usually play at 1x speed and speed it up manually when I load, but that gets tiresome.

Does this mod include fixed monster/animal levels and dungeons and every monster in the game already in the world.

What I hated about the games (even Morrowind is guilty of it) is that I have to get to a certain level for a kind of monster and animal to appear, I want all the monsters there. Sort of like Ultima 6 and 7 and MMORPGs where you could to a high level dungeon full of powerful monsters.

I... Dude, which part of 'Mod which allows you to freeze to death' did you not understand? :D SkyRE does what you want, kind of - it puts a lot more harsh 'min level' requirements on certain areas, thus bumping monster spawns in them. Go read the OP :-P
