To preface, I also play Skyrim on PC which according to my Steam gameplay time is is a tad just under 700 hours give or take, I'd say a good 100 of those hours was spend mucking around in the Nexus Mod Manager, BOSS / LOOT, Mod Organizer, Wrye Bash and so forth. So I also find enjoyment in working within the limits of the Xbox One restrictions and trying to work within those confines to make an ideal setup that cohesively works together, that being said an ideal mod list is highly up to interpretation and personal preference. In my case, my ideal Skyrim experience mainly retains the core but touches on nearly every aspect of the game with a focus on content expansion in the form of more quests and new locations to explore, revised crafting, combat, hunting, and survival.
There is 5120 MB reserved for Skyrim Mods, so my goal was to use as much space as possible but retain a load order consisting of mods that work together well to create a Skyrim experience that has a noticeable impact on where it counts coming close to a PC Skyrim mod feel in terms of gameplay within the confines of the Xbox One file limit without being able to take advantage of SKSE or MCM to utilize.
Mind you this load order could be optimized even further. Any omissions and replacement mods to still reach that ideal load list are always being pursued, so I'm open ears for recommendations as well. So moving on with the load order and a description of what each mod does.

https://bethesda.net/en/mods/skyrim/mod-detail/3123538 7.1MB (2043MB left)
This mod serves to make the game's ore veins much more visible, especially in darker environments. It accomplishes this by replacing the cubemap textures used by ore veins. This gives them a glow that appears brighter as the ambient lighting becomes darker.
Without the mod, ore veins are very difficult to see and really don't stand out much against the rocks around them. The new version changes the meshes to use new cubemaps instead of modifying the game's original cubemaps. So the ore veins are the only things affected by this mod.

Hunterborn changes the simple routine of kill-and-loot on animals into something more immersive. This mod has its origins in Realistic Wildlife Loot, but I wanted something more in-depth for the actual process of dressing down a kill, skinning it for its pelt, taking material from it for alchemy, and finally butchering its meat - based on the animal's weight, not just a single cut of venison.

SUMMARY
"Vampires Suck" is a dumb mod that disables the vampire attacks in towns. This does not disable vampire attacks in the rest of the world.
WHY

56) Relationship Dialogue Overhaul - RDO
https://bethesda.net/en/mods/skyrim/mod-detail/2965163 113.8MB (335.8MB left)

Much like the ones from ESO itself, once you collect 3, you will earn 1 perk point to spend as you see fit. There are 6 in each section, for a total of 66 shards amounting to 22 extra perk points. That may seem like a lot, but by the time you've found them all you'll likely be pretty high level anyway so it balances out in the end.
59) The Forgotten City
https://bethesda.net/en/mods/skyrim/mod-detail/2950588 133.4MB (187.6MB left)
The Forgotten City is an award-winning, critically acclaimed expansion mod offering a unique 6 - 8 hour experience: a murder mystery investigation set in an ancient underground city.

64) A Quality World Map - Vivid With Stone Roads
https://bethesda.net/en/mods/skyrim/mod-detail/3268241 19.4MB (43.1MB left)
This mod provides a new set of highly-detailed world map textures, complete with most roads! The roads shown were artistically selected by IcePenguin. This mod also adds a detailed Solstheim map.
65) A Quality World Map - Clear Map Skies
https://bethesda.net/en/mods/skyrim/mod-detail/3268463 3.5MB (39.6MB left)
This add-on for A Quality World Map removes all clouds from the center of the map, granting a crystal-clear view of the world below. The clouds at the edges of the map are still present.
66) Insignificant Object Remover
https://bethesda.net/en/mods/skyrim/mod-detail/3049177 1.4KB (39.6MB left)
This mod reduces the density of insignificant objects to 0, effectively removing their existence safely from your game. Those little rocks, twigs, bits of concrete, and piles of rubble populating your game aren't physical objects in the game world. It's actually GRASS that's generated on the fly using PARAMETERS initialized when you launch the game. This essentially removes 1/4 of all the grass you don't see to try which nets a few additional FPS for more performance.
10 hours with this load order and no issues so far. I wanted to finish the mod list by adding Enhanced Blood Textures which supposedly needs 18MB, however despite the Free Space claiming to be 39MB left. Skyrim gives the out of space error. So it seems there is a buffer for reserved unusable space. Still for those that don't own a PC and want a Skyrim experience that comes fairly damn close to a full modded out PC experience, this load order is an ideal approach with a mix of everything from gameplay overhauls, graphical improvements, new locations to explore and new quests to undertake.
