Ohh my god THANK YOU!!! You both set me up for success both now and in the future. I was expecting lashings as if this were a reddit thread but got just the opposite. Huge huge thanks IsharaMeradin and Cindygirl!

I'm using original Skyrim Vanilla (32bit) with all DLC's installed. I know I posted in the SE section, but I clicked on forums and didn't see a LE or vanilla section. I'm a lost puppy, please forgive me! So is Vortex, MO, or NMM easier to casual modders like myself? I'm not wanting to make my own mods or get too carried away with tons of mods, I'm just trying to give the main quest a play through before all that. I'm really wanting a set and forget type experience when it comes to mod installing programs. If I use Vortex or MO, will I have to reinstall uninstall everything and reinstall using the new mod installer? I'm really trying to be patient and casual with all this as I do play other games and am pretty busy irl. Thanks for your other post on mod order. I can follow what you're saying. Just not sure about hiding certain files that aren't behaving thing. For example, I found my game crashes when I enable ELE_Legendary_Lite.esp or RelightingSkyrim_Legendary.esp. They're both prerequisites for other mods which is weird because the game will launch when they're disabled.

For one thing you showed your Installed mods. In the old nexusmods manager you have to click on plugins to show your load order. Load ordering is simple. Oh wow, thanks! I had no idea. Here's what I got from the plugins tab. I'm trying to do the least amount of work so if I can just get NMM to work with the right order, I'll be on my way. Thanks for your help! I'm loving the game so far!

Just now getting around to trying out Skyrim. I only have the LE version. I've read and read and read some more and tried my best to go down the mod requirement rabbit hole only to be left more confused. Can someone help me with an install order of my mods? I don't want a ton of mods, just enough to make it look updated and sexy, but not grotesque. I'm a total Elder Scrolls (never played any of them) nub and this is literally my first post about Skyrim. About 9 hours in and only in Riverwood all from trying to get these mods installed. I have the SKSE already installed on steam.
