Mods are a lifesaver, the very first one I got was a UI rework, the entire game (Skyrim) was suddenly worth twice as much with something that simple! I expect to see some crazy community mods within the next 3-4 years for Skyrim, lending the game longevity beyond most titles after such a long time.

Improved UI and Better Sorting mods changed the way I played the game entirely. I can't play the Vanilla version anymore because it just feels like it's a clumsy mess that has no sense whatsoever, especially with the Keyboard interface. 

Some of the most recent and good work that mods are putting out are city enhancing mods and climate mods. Combined with the extra effects mods, and the game looks like it almost leaps a generation.

Yeah, I use some visual mods as well. The game has fairly low system req's as is, so I load quite a few before the rig takes a bow. The default texture work in Skyrim is pretty horrible no matter the settings and I remember being somewhat disappointed by the visuals. It clearly shows just how much consoles are stalling PC development this late in the generation. The biggest improvement over Oblivion is the character models but they still have a very long way to go. Lucky for us, there are good mods for that too!
