How to install mods for Skyrim Special Edition

In this guide, we'll be using Vortex (previously called Nexus Mod Manager), which is universally recommended to keep things organized and to make installing larger packages an absolute breeze. Nexus is a dedicated platform for modders to release and update their mods for various titles, including Skyrim Special Edition. As well as publishing their content, Nexus also enables for discussion, feedback, support, and more. The website is fairly easy to navigate with most mods correctly categorized for convenient filtering.

Installing Vortex

1. Register an account on the Nexus website.
2. Download Vortex (Nexus Mod Manager).
3. Install and then run Vortex.

4. Confirm the location of Skyrim Special Edition.

5. Select Skyrim Special Edition.

6. Hit OK.

7. Choose where you wish to store downloaded mods (default drive is the one with Skyrim SE installed).
8. Hit OK if an alert window shows.

We need to run Skyrim SE to the main menu before activating mods, so give the game a boot to initial menu and then quit. This will create the much-needed .ini file for editing and will ensure we don't run into issues with mods not working correctly at a later date.

Installing Mods

Now it's time to select and install some mods. We rounded up some of our favorite Skyrim mods to get you started.

1. Search for mods on the Nexus website.
2. Carefully read through the description of each mod.

3. Choose the Files tab.

4. Select 'Download with Manager' on the correct file(s) you need for the mod.
5. Wait for the mods to download in Vortex.
6. Select a mod you wish to install and choose 'Install'.

Once you have a few mods downloaded you may notice the load order start to populate. This list is important because some mods and files need to be loaded by the game in a specific order. Mod authors generally offer information in mod descriptions on the Nexus should their files require to be configured in a set order, and there are even tools available like LOOT that can check to see if there are any problems with your setup.

Modders create and release extra content for fun and for the love of scripting, but leaving an endorsement or even a donation can provide much-needed feedback, especially if you've enjoyed hours of entertainment because of said mod(s). Leaving a few dollars can really make their day, but do consider at least leaving a comment and endorsing their work. Skyrim wouldn't be the same without its excellent modding community.
