Skyrim Mod Help, new to modding.?

What mods are needed to make my Skyrim look amazing? I want my Skyrim to look like all the pictures of peoples modded skyrims.. I have seen pictures of people's characters after being modded (most of the time females) and the characters look amazing.. I want my character to be able to look like those.

And I would like for my skyrim to look like the pictures of peoples modded skyrims.. I am obviously not wanting 100 mods just to make it look good but a list of really good mods that'll alter my game to make it more appealing would be wonderful and an explanation of what each mod does would be nice.

The only mod I know of is BBE or something (Big booty Edition) to make your character more smooth and full (body wise) but it made my character look blurry (on horrible laptop that barely runs skyrim) so..

Example : http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18hb2i71%E2%80%A6 <--- This isn't the best picture but this is minimal of what I am looking for. If someone can help me at least get to something along those lines, I am sure I can get the rest of the way after learning what I am doing more.

PLEASE Do not just say "Go to this site <insert name of site> they have mods" I want personal thought out answers not just empty ones. Thank you kindly in advance.

    First off, for the game to look amazing outside character models you need a really powerful computer. For high-resolution textures and ENB (post-process injectors) you need a high end gaming PC or laptop. I have a feature on my site for the best mods of Skyrim. Go through each section one by one and start downloading them. Use the Nexus Mod Manager on Skyrim Nexus after you start going through my mods feature. Honestly, you literally just click the mod you want to download, it downloads in the manager, and you install it.

    You also need SKSE for things like SkyUI and anything that uses scripts. You can find that in the links below as well. Skyrim is a bit complicated to mod at first, it's also VERY picky, Once you install a mod you really can't uninstall it because it leaves scripts behind in the saves and can corrupt it. You will know a save is corrupted when it crashes to the desktop while loading or gets stuck on a load screen.

    Start with this: Go to my site below and hover over the Blogs section at the top, then go down to the Skyrim section. Start with Part 1 and work your way down finding mods you like.

    Below that is my user profile on Skyrim Nexus of my personal screenshots for you to kind of see what to expect. Click the mountain (image) icon tab on my profile for the screenshots.

    When you download SKSE READ THE README. It has install instructions. Also LAUNCH THE GAME USING THE skse_launcher.exe NOT THE ONE ON STEAM. This is important for using things like the Wet and Cold mod, SkyUI, KaceAutoLoot etc.

    Once you find a mod just download the Nexus Mod Manager at the top, it will all become self explanatory trust me on this. I know this post seems kind of random, but there IS A LOT to modding Skyrim. If you want more help outside of this post here on Yahoo go the About page at the top of my site and find my email to ask further questions. I have been modding Skyrim since day 1 launch, and I am more than happy to offer further help. Also, as you can see my avatar on Yahoo is an older Skyrim character I modded.
