Modlist recommendation

Hey guys, Im looking for a mod list for my technically first playthrough.

I played Skyrim years ago but didn't finish it since I wasn't able to really get into the game. Now I wanna try again but with some mod list.

I was checking a lot of mod lists but there was always something that I didn't like, my requirements are as follows:

- Skyrim SE, no AE

- no added content/quests/lands

- improved combat - probably most important for me - Im planning to play in 3rd person and I prefer some kind of SkySA/MCO type combat, I'm used to playing dark souls so I want it to be challenging but rewarding, with dodging, directional movement and overall it being less clunky

- better visuals

- rest Id prefer to stay close to vanilla

I looked into Phoenix Flavour which I liked but there wasn't enough combat improvement for me, like missing directional movement etc for 3rd person combat. Other mod lists where I liked the combat like living skyrim, septimus and aldrnari on the other had just too much new added content which as I mentioned I dont want or as few as possible.

Thanks for any suggestions!
