What game mods are worth installing this week?

I spent my whole weekend modding Stardew Valley and I have a question — is there a specific order to install them in, or does it not matter as long as they're on the list? Also curious if anyone has any recommendations for new games that actually feel fresh.

For Cyberpunk I've been testing out the 2.0 physics overhaul and it makes a huge difference in how gunfights feel — worth the install if you haven't played in a while. Also keep an eye on that new Skyrim mod that adds dynamic weather patterns, looks incredible in screenshots

For Skyrim I'd say SKSE with Address Library is a must, then get SkyUI and MO2 for managing everything because Wabbajack exists but it can be finicky depending on your install path. If you want graphical stuff the community reshade collection is basically the standard now — looks better than vanilla texture mods alone since it's an overlay shader system. I actually remember trying to mod Fallout 4 years ago and breaking every single save file because I didn't understand how load orders worked, which taught me a lot about patience in tech. My brother used to do this with his computer all the time too — he was obsessed with custom desktop setups and spent weeks configuring one window manager only to delete everything and start over from scratch on a whim. It's that same compulsive need to tweak things to exactly right, which I think is what makes modding addictive; you never actually play because you keep finding a new texture pack or script extender to install instead. So yeah the short answer for Skyrim this week is SKSE plus SkyUI plus Address Library plus whatever reshade preset you prefer visually, but honestly just pick one big overhaul like Requiem and stop overthinking it.
