I went hard on Skyrim for 2 weeks when it was first released... literally lived it the whole time, cleared all the quests I could find, got all the achievements, then sold it on eBay for about the price I paid for it. Never felt like going back for the 3 expansions or anything, as good as the game is.
Maybe I need to enlighten myself with regards to modding to make me come back and give it another try.

On the steam edition I have about 500hrs with all the expansions and 60 achievements which I don't really try to get. I had the pre-steam release box from launch, was over 500hrs there, yeah prolly same box like you had. Around 1300 or so in total. sad...

The only thing I've modded myself were followers which isn't too hard to do. But for workshop mods, the two best are the followers mod, gives them more options, and the hunters guild mod (Hunting in Skyrim). But having yet to do the really good expansions, I'd highly recommend doing the expansions first, they're really good, even doing them before the main plot for the benefits and equipment. Though the followers mod is good to drop in at the start, so you can reequip your followers and issue them a few additional orders. I always used a give item for hearthfire though, I like crafting but it's a little beyond that having serious gathering time.
imo best side plots are the civil war and the dark brotherhood. I pref to fight the civil war for the Stormcloaks, but both sides are worth a play for sure. There is also a civil war mod, it's suppose to be good, but it's only offered at some mode site (I think Nexus) and requires a sing-up which I never did. Oh and Joining the Companions is worth the rime too, it has some pretty different quests hehe Hooowwwlll! And the werewolf status is nice if you don't care about the refresh bonus. Offers some decent followers out of it too, not so generic.
My fav build has been based on the Oblivion assassin build. Mainly bow, dual wield daggers, stealth, and alchemy for making poison. It's funny, once you get stealth up high, you can own the game nekid, they can hardly detect you standing right next to you while you fill them with arrows. There is an assassin follower in that first tavern to the left in whiterun.
Then there's
this.
