It would also be a good idea to keep a backup folder somewhere away from your main Skyrim folder, just in case something goes wrong and you need to roll back any changes you made without having to re-install the whole game. 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! Tip 2: Learn How to Manually Install Skyrim Mods 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.
Share this on. You can check your capacity in the top right corner. If this becomes a problem, simply deactivate other active mods and swap them in to build a collection that reflects what you want to do with your game. For lists of some of the many types of mods out there for classic Skyrim - see the following sections:.
The Nexus Mod Manager, available via the Nexus Mods site, makes it easy to download and install many of the community's best mods with one or two clicks of a button. If you're a bit too apprehensive about diving straight into the Nexus method, a variety of great mods are also available via the Steam Workshop. Simply find the plugin you want to install and hit 'Subscribe' - the mods will automatically install the next time you launch the game.
Additionally, new modders need to keep in mind the fact that the work isn't over once all of your shiny new mods are installed. The order that the mods are loaded in, or the 'load order', is crucial to making sure one mod doesn't overwrite or conflict with another. Note that upon choosing to install most of these, the game will create a copy of your save file with the mods, leaving your un-modded save files untouched.
Even mods that you wouldn't expect to cause issues can and will cause problems, including the dreaded Crash to Desktop CTD. An example is ApachiiSkyHair by the talented modder Apachii. This mod can cause CTDs when you change hair, sex or race when selecting your character at the beginning of the game. Installing mods manually once you have checked the installation instructions and downloaded any patches is fairly straightforward. Even if you use a Mod Manager, installing mods manually gives you a greater understanding of how the files fit together and what they do.

If you look at my load order below, imagine if I had installed them all at once and then I found there was a problem! I would never be able to figure out which mod was causing it. If I only installed five to ten mods, it is much simpler to find that out. If you do introduce a bug to your game, deselect all the mods you just added and add them back one at a time testing the game before adding another mod until you come to the one that causes the issue.
First, load up BOSS. Most importantly, it fixes your load order to ensure that the mods are loaded in the optimal order. Most game crashes occur on loading new areas into the game or when the game starts. So to test this, start a new game in a city and go to some shops and fast travel a few times. 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.

Suppose you are surfing a website looking at mods and you see a screen shot of a particularly cool object that you really want see in your game.
