Recently I wanted to play a magical combat game and Hogwarts legacy seemed to be mostly what I was looking for so I ethically acquired a copy. Unfortunately even with DRM removed it runs very poorly on my laptop.

Looking through steam games tagged magic, I didn't manage to find something similar. Most of the games I saw were either top-down/side-scroll (I'm looking for FPS/TPS) or had magic systems simpler than in Skyrim (I want magical combat to be the main focus).

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I wanted to avoid mods for now especially with skyrim since last time I've tried I've spent like 3 hours straight on nexusmods, only to run into conflicts and be too tired to even attempt to fix them. Although with a total conversion I assume it's all-in-one which should help avoid that problem. Thank you, will check it out!

Yes, the total conversion package makes it self-contained in the steam library/store. It just checks that you own a legit copy of Skyrim to run it. It has its own steam page even, couldn't be easier. Plus it's free (assuming you own any edition of Skyrim) so it's hard to pass up with so little risk aside from your time.

If you have the steam version of Skyrim it's very simple to get running.
https://store.steampowered.com/developer/SureAI/#browse has both versions (depending on if you have the launch version or special/anniversary edition). Also found here is Nehrim, their total conversion mod for Oblivion

I think part of the problem last time was that some of my mods were nexus and some were steam 😃 I guess I'm reinstalling Skyrim then. Thank you for the link!

Wabbajack is a mod organizer / installer that lets you load mod orders that have been configured by people who borderline make Mod Orders for a living. I cannot stress enough how much they took the thinking out of modding Bethesda games.

Pay for a 1 month sub to nexus mods and set the installer to run overnight.
