The next step is to create two folders: Installed Mods and New Mods. The Installed folder is where you keep all the mods that your copy of Skyrim is currently running, while the New Mod folder should contain the mods that you have yet to install.

When something glitches, having all your files organized and easy to find will make it easier to troubleshoot. Thankfully, most, if not all, the mods available in both Steam and Nexus come with handy, detailed, and easy-to-follow instructions that are designed to be as foolproof as possible. A few notes though: the more mods you run, the more likely your game will glitch out, have bugs, or crash. Especially with multiple mods running in the background, it can be difficult to ascertain exactly which mod is causing a glitch or a crash.

In order to find out, start testing your mods one at a time by disabling all other mods save for the one you want to test. Good luck, and happy modding! Also check out how the mods you just installed look in game. If you just replaced all the armour sets in Skyrim, go to a place with lots of soldiers and check out how the armour looks.

To view them, you can either click through them, or click on the Browser button on the left hand end of the tool bar to see them all in tiles. When you click the Browser button, you see all the files in the directory as small tiled icons below.

You can see a small preview in the bottom grey pane. To see this full size, double click on the icon. Note: Pay particular attention to the folder structure of the mod. So ensure that you mirror the folder structure in your Skyrim game folder to ensure that they install correctly. If you are installing new content such as this mod, install any.

Mods are synonymous with the Elder Scrolls series. This gave modders unparalleled access to the game and allowed them to make mods to change literally anything in game as well as adding tonnes and tonnes of new content.

Checking the readme documents and the Skyrim Nexus site for information on load order advice, installation instructions, dependencies and also mod conflicts. Of course, manually installing mods is not for everyone. I review two excellent Mod Organiser tools, Nexus Mod Manager designed for beginners to modding with a simple to use interface and one click mod installation and Mod Organiser a more advanced tool with features such as profiles and a more granular installation process.
