Recommended Posts

Hi everyone.
Today, after I seen the promotion of Skyrim and all the dlcs at 7 euros on Steam, I bought the game.
So,I wish to increase the graphics and add some beautiful Mods, but I don't know how to do much stuff,
Beside of that, I really tried to do something by myself but I was an EPIC fail...

May exist among you, a man with free time and a good heart to help me ^^ ? - please

I am not good at explaining this but here goes. in my opinion the easiest way to mod is to use manual downloads and use wrye bash to sort your ESPs. For most mods you are to extract them using a program like 7zip into your date folder (steam->steamapps->common->skyrim->data). for mods with a complex installation (shown with multiple folders usually numbered) you save the archive into (steam-> steamapps-> common-> skyrim mods-> bash installers) and use wryes installers tab to install mods (right click not left). Any mod that does not have an ESP will take effect immediately when put in data files but will be harder to remove (many texture mods).

 

Also, please look at this guide for other hints:http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/32363/?

NOTE: some mods require you to change your INI which is for advanced users only

Okay, since you're a bit of a newbie here I suggest you start with something simple. Download Nexus Mod Manager and download LOOT. Download the mods you want to play with NMM and sort them with LOOT.

 

That should be more than enough to get you started. Once you want to get into more advanced modding with larger mod lists then you can switch to Mod Organizer or Wrye Bash, but for now you're probably just going to want to get used to running mods and getting them to work together.

 

Just keep in mind, there's really no "correct" way to mod (just don't ever dump mods directly into the Data Folder, it will make your life easier). The key is finding what works for you and lets you achieve your desired mod set up.

 

Eventually you'll get into more advanced tools (Mod Organizer, TESVEdit and Wrye Bash) but for now Nexus Mod Manager and LOOT will get you started.

1.) Download Nexus Mod Manager

2.) Set up Nexus Mod Manager.

The video basically explains everything else.

 

Search for mods you want here:

- http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/categories/?

 

When you find a mod you want. Click on "Download NMM"

Its a green button, with white text.

 

That should pretty much cover it.
