#Skyrim how to use mods install#

Whenever I hear someone recommend NMM as the simpest way to start installing mods right away, I get flashbacks from people threatening to sue me because 'my mod blew up their power supply' on my Nexus comment page, lmao. Skyrim Creation Kit is the tool that Bethesda used to create Skyrim. Having trouble extracting the archive Install via Steam, use the installer, or download 7-zip. Thats why you should make a backup copy of your save game before you install any.

Remember that any manipulation with the game files may lead to damage. I've had to explain a couple dozen times to people like this why it's literally not possible for a texture replacer to break their quests or BSoD their computer. Skyrim mods can be installed using the four following methods: using the Nexus Mod Manager tool manually through the Steam Workshop platform (abailable only in the standard version) directly in the game (available only in Special Edition). Yeah, it just gets tiring wading through the 1000 users on the Nexus who never read descriptions, don't understand how to unzip a file, flame comment sections if a mod doesn't work with NMM, and then demand that everyone walk them through uninstalling a mod that 'broke their game' when they just set their ugrids to 27 or something.

By default, you can find the file in 'C:UsersDocumentsMy GamesSkyrim Special Edition'. Its an easy way trying new mods and removing them after if you dont like them or they break the game. In the Skyrim.ini file, add or change the following values: Archive bInvalidateOlderFiles1 This will make Skyrim invalidate the use of the BSAs in favour of the loose files during startup. I personally have a couple of overhaul mods for skyrim that dont use the manager but all the others I use do. Now on your PC navigate to: Documents>My Games>Skyrim VR and open the SkyrimPrefs.ini document. Agreed also some mods do not work with mod manager but a lot do. Enabling Mods: First, launch Skyrim VR and make sure it runs properly. I agree its not the best way to do it but it is the easiest and thats what was asked for, yes you do need the SKSE with some mods but like i mentioned, read the instructions the come with the various mods, the links a for extra files ect are usually in there.
