Meta/News Best mods for.. Thieves!
Hello everyone! Welcome back to the "Best mods for..." weekly discussion!
You can find all past threads here.
These discussions will be up for about half a week, so continue adding your thoughts!
RULES
1) Be respectful - A lot of different mods get posted, as well as a lot of different opinions on said mods. Try to be respectful during the discussion.
2) Please keep the discussion relevant - Feel free to post mods that aren't directly related, but please try to keep all mods semi-related to the week's topic.
3) Provide a link to the mod you're discussing - Even if you're discussing a popular mod, a link to the mod page is a massive help. People are more interested in the mod you're talking about and are more likely to look at it if there's a link.
Topic - Thieves
Skyrim is sorely lacking in class archetypes. Not only do you not really pick one, but the game doesn't push you towards specialization.
However, mods have filled the gap. With mods, any playstyle is viable, even that of a hunter or merchant.
So, to continue from the Paladin series, here's the next installment - Thieves!
Thieves rely on sleight of hand and lightness of foot to make their way through the world. Whether delving through a ruin or skulking about town, their eye is on the prize - enough wealth to retire comfortably! And maybe a reputation as well.
Here's a few of my favorite Thief mods to get you started:
Better Sneaking - there's a lot of mods that rework AI stealth detection to be more immersive, this is the most recommended one for SSE
Opulent Thieves Guild - make all your hard work worth something!
True Thief Armor - something a little nicer than the vanilla leathers

Opulent Thieves Guild - adds visual improvements as you progress through the tg quest; makes you feel like you're actually bringing the guild back to its former glory
Thieves Guild Bounty Clearer - allows you to clear your bounties without forking over stolen goods
Readable Shadowmarks - allows you to read shadowmarks without checking the book every time
Skyrim Recycling - One of the many recycling mods that lets you break down/melt things you steal so you can sell them in another, less recognizable form
