While there are hundreds of websites that provide mods for Skyrim, only a few of them are used by most modders.
Here are two websites most fans get their mods from:. More websites than these two provide Skyrim mods, but these two are the most popular. Both websites have search bars and tags you can use to find mods that interest you. Installing mods on a console is extremely easy. Once you find a mod you wish to install, select the "install" button. If done in-game, Skyrim will automatically download and install the mod for you.
Should you use the website, you can click on "add to library" to install the mod on any console linked to your Bethesda. Most PC users pick the second option. Before you go on an installing spree, let's go over how to manage your mods and why that's so important. When you install a mod for Skyrim, it gets added to a list of data the game needs to load. This is typically referred to as your "load order. Modders have found ways around this limit, something we'll go over in the "Useful Modding Tools" section.
For now, keep this limit in mind. Load orders become important when multiple mods are being used. Skyrim loads its data sequentially, meaning mods lower on your load order take precedence over files placed higher on your list. This can be problematic if you have two mods that override the same thing. For example, if you have two mods that modify a town, the town mod lowest in your load order will always be applied. This conflict could result in quests breaking, objects clipping through each other, or crashing.
To make sure your mods are working as intended, it's important to make sure your mod load order is correct. There are three common ways to adjust your load order:. This can be accessed from the main menu. While browsing mods, an option will be present to display your load order. You can move mods up or down on this list as you see fit, disable mods you don't wish to uninstall, or uninstall mods in their entirety.
LOOT is a free application that will automatically manage your load order. This is only available for PC. A tutorial on how to use LOOT can be found here.
To do so, select Load Order from the Mods menu and set the order. And, best of all, every one of these Skyrim mods is free! Skyrim mods are largely free to download. Valve Corporation walked back its attempts to add paid mods to Skyrim, after backlash from fans. To start using mods in the Skyrim Special Edition, you need a Bethesda. Then, launch Skyrim on your console.
From the main menu, select Mods. I still wasn't going to do the work myself. Once again I turned to the unofficial list on Wabbajack, and let it take care of downloading, configuring and installing the mods the guide uses. The result is exactly what I wanted—familiar, but just different enough to keep me on my toes.
In the witch's house outside of Bleak Falls Barrow, I discover a note that I don't remember ever seeing before.
It feels like a new mod quest, but I can't be sure. It's been a while since I last played Skyrim—maybe I just missed it before? Crucially, these moments are rare, and intriguing when they do occur. Obviously the whole thing looks great, but there's also a reassurance in playing something so meticulously crafted. There's a lot about vanilla Skyrim—even the Special Edition version that I'm playing for the first time—that feels rough; like everything is liable to break at any moment.
Logically I know that's even more true of such a heavily modded version, but it feels like I'm in safe hands. There are over mods here, and I know what maybe a handful of them actually do. The effect is I get to assume that one of them has already fixed a quest step that was bugged, or addressed a system that never quite worked as intended—at least until I come across some inexplicably dancing honey nut treats.
It's also still recognisably a product of many different, disparate mods, leading to a few tonal inconsistencies. The female NPCs all look like Instagram models—this is pretty much standard for Skyrim mods—and, in one recent loading screen tooltip, the game informed me that "Your children are safe with me Sure, it would be better if I'd taken the time to figure it out myself—specifically tailoring the experience to my preference.
But also I know myself. I'd have spent more time looking out for conflicts and errors and things I'd done wrong than actually playing the game. Instead, I'm just enjoying Skyrim, being delighted by the many small changes and the incredible tree textures, but also being thankful for all the ways it's still the same.
Skyrim has so many re-releases that it is not outlandish to say they might release it again for another platform. But getting mods on consoles is just as much about getting permission from console producers as it about creating the modding framework. And this process has to be done and confirmed for every new console and every individual version of the game. There is some good news though. The main differentiating factor between downloading mods on PC and downloading mods on console is that console downloading is exceptionally streamlined.
Meaning that it was built to be intuitive and easy to navigate. Step 2: Download Vortex. Unless specified otherwise, Vortex can still download that mod safely. The Nexus website has several means to find mods. They have categories, pages for trending and popular mods, filters and search functions. Simply explore the site to find the mod that you want. Especially the parts that describe installation requirements, installation instructions, known mod conflicts, bugs and other issues.
On the mod page there will be several tabs. The files you should focus on are the main files. Click it and allow Vortex to download the mod.

Mods can be browsed by category, most trending, popularity, and more. Simply explore the workshop until you find a mod that you want. Note: Never un-check the.
These are required for the game to run, so un-checking them will result in the game not loading the base game content. The second--and most important reason--is that installing mods incorrectly with this method can have disastrous consequences depending on the size and scope of the mod. These consequences can include game crashes, corrupt files and even breaking Skyrim entirely.
So it is highly recommended that you try installing with a mod manager first assuming the option is available. Step 1: Backup your saves. Incorrectly installing mods can potentially damage your game and save files, so it is important that you backup your character saves in case something goes wrong.
