But generally you always want to keep it updated.

However, if a mod that you really like hasn’t been updated to work with the newer version of SKSE, then you might want to wait until it’s updated so put that off temporarily. Simply re-download and overwrite when there’s a new version.

Always keep this updated or the mods won’t work if they require a newer version. It won’t work otherwise.Ĭopy all extracted files to your Skyrim’s root folder. If you’re playing on LE then get the first one. Download and extract anywhere on your machine.
#How to install skyrim se mods archive#
Download the appropriate 7z archive for your version of Skyrim. The next thing that you need is the Skyrim Script Extender. Install SKSE or SKSE64 (Skyrim Script Extender) MO2 can also be used to mod other games such as Fallout.
#How to install skyrim se mods portable#
But you don’t have to use portable of course. I use portable option because I have multiple instances. Some people say you shouldn’t do it like that, but it’s 100% fine as long as there are no permission issues with Windows. Make sure your Skyrim root folder is away from your Windows drive (not 100% required but very recommended) and install MO2 as portable in a new folder you create inside the root one.

I’m not going to give you extensive tutorials on how to use MO2 because that would make this guide way too long, but when you first start it, it will offer to teach you the basics so make sure you go through that beginner tutorial that’s built into it.
You will be able to download mods directly into it. When installing MO2, at the bottom of the options make sure to check the handle Nexus links box and then later when you start it up, enter your Nexus account information. There are other ones out there, but this one is the best, at least in my ( and many other people’s) opinion. The first thing you need is a robust mod management utility. To get started, make sure you’ve got 7zip & NexusMods account. And don’t go crazy with too many mods or the game might not even start if you have a lot of conflicts. Some mods work between the editions ( textures are always fine but not meshes) but generally you want to stick to the one you’re using. I personally recommend Skyrim SE due to improved stability, 64bit engine and generally much better performance and less crashes ( very important if you have a lot of demanding mods). So if you’re playing on Skyrim LE, use this to get your mods. The process is the same for Skyrim LE ( Legendary Edition) & Skyrim SE ( Special Edition), the only difference is the version of the mods that you’re downloading (and SKSE, Skyrim Script Extender). So whether you were looking for this guide, or the general modding guide ( no difference), I’ve made sure to cover all bases. So I did the video just with him in mind, but later it turns out there are just as many people looking for this guide, as well as the general one ( which are the same by the way), hence this page here. At the time I didn’t really think there would be many people out there searching for this, rather that they would look for a guide on how to install Skyrim mods in general. The Nexus Mod Manager is very convenient =DA long time ago a viewer on Youtube asked me to do a video on how to install SkyUI. files and I don't know which file extention is compatible with skyrim?Įdited by iceurface18, 26 December 2011 - 05:43 AM. Without opening the mod folder with the nexus mod manager, there are dds. I extracted the a mod texture folder to the desktop and then I opened it with the manager but there was nothing inside the texture>actor>character>eyes. The texture folder will also have sub folders in it likeĮtc etc, you're better off using a manager to install mods for you. There's more to it than just making a textures folder like this Data\Textures\ Why not use Nexus Mod Manager or Wrye Bash to install the texture? Texture mod generally don't come with an esp file to activate. files from the Winrar texture folder and extract them into my texture folder that I created? and then activate the mods by checking marking them in the data files when I launch the game? Oh, so all I have to do is create a texture folder and then place all the dds. In addition to the "Skyrim - Textures.bsa" and etc along with the Update.esm and Skyrim.esm but I can't find the texture, character and Saved Games folders? Can anyone help me figure out where I place Hair texture mods that have "dds." into my data folder? Inside my Data folder I see the Interface, Strings, and Video folders. However with Skyrim, I'm a little confused as to where I extract the texture folders that have extentions like "dds."? my path to my skyrim directory is files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data. I've installed mods on previous games before.
