The hardest question (for me) when installing several/many mods is when to overwrite certain files or not. I am using NMM, and there are times when I prompted with: "Data file 'blah/blah/blah' has already been installed by 'Blah Blah'. Overwrite with this mod's file ?" Should I choose "Yes" or "No" ? Or maybe "Yes to folder", "No to mod", etc. ? Is there any guidelines on how I choose these options ?

Hi, I'm a relatively new to mods.. I want a better understanding on how mods work. There are some aspects in this game thats completely oblivious to me. For example, encountered file formats like: .esp .esm .nif .bsa .hkx .kf What are this files ? Can anyone explain these files and what it does ? Then there are some questions like: What is the correlation between bodies and clothes ? What is animation and skeletons ? What is the purpose of mod/tool called FNIS and GenerateFNISForUsers.exe ? Is there any tutorials/guides explaining "the big picture" about mods and stuff ? I know I asked too much, but please shed some light..
