Skyrim has an incredibly active modding community.
Came across a few VERY welcome additions found either on the Nexus Mod Site (Registration Required) or Steamworks
They don't change the intended gameplay but do lessen frustration with the menu and map interface and missed or bungled quests.

*** Dungeon Quest Awareness ***
"Skyrim's best feature is exploration. Unfortunately, exploring some dungeons before you get the related quest can potentially break that quest line; which can be discouraging for a would be adventurer.
So that you can more freely explore, this mod will change the map markers and area location of dungeons that contain major quest. That way, you will see at a glance whether you can dive into a new location you have just discovered, or whether you might want to wait until receiving the related quest first."

You can also find this mod on the steam workshop:

*** Glowing Ore Veins ***
Makes raw ore deposits an appropriate colour for that ore and they stand out from the surrounding rock strata. "Glow" is perhaps too strong of a descriptor but they do stand out.

I use Confident ENB lighting, Sky UI, some mods that clean up the appearances of most of the characters, and the steam released High resolution textures. I also use a sword mod called Jaysus swords. adds a lot of different looking swords to the game..some craftable some not and well balanced. In oblivion I was always frutrated that every weapon looked the same after a certain point.
