Mods suggestions

[Kohlx]

Hi guys,

 

So I played skyrim last on a potato PC, and now I got a really good PC, and wanted to do another playthrough.

There are so many wonderful mods there, but I'm kinda a noob when it comes to installing them properly...

 

I got the special edition of skyrim, and I was hoping if you could recommend me mods, and in which order they should be installed.

I'd like to improve the visuals of the game, so all the popular mods that could increase that, or a link please, I'm having a hard time navigating through nexus mods.

 

And I'd like start a new playthrough as a werewolf from the beginning, I did try to install mods, but the game won't launch anymore...

I got that new lifes mod, and its extension that makes you able to choose as a werewolf start, but the extension makes the game not work, even though I load it after the first mod.

 

Can anybody share them their mods with me so I can install them?

(yeah I did also launch the game through skse)

 

So I need anything that improves graphics, and those 2 mods about alternate start. It would be awesome if you could throw in a mod that you think it's a must have. I know this is a lot to ask, but please try to help me. It doesn't have to be 1 person who compiles the list, if each of you could suggest me at least 2 mods, I'm sure I'll get there in no time.

 

Thanks

first you need to understand that Skyrim LE and Skyrim SE are two different games , and have their own sites here

trying to load LE mods on SE may lead to the game not starting (though some mods work just as they are)

 

you need to start by verifying that the game actually works properly without mods , that you are installing the correct mods (the proper version of the mods , from the SE site unless the LE version is reported to work on SE as is)

you should also choose a mod manager you wish to use , and learn how to do so

 

after this is done , you can start discussing mods

I don't know how good your PC is , but Skyrim SE still doesn't run amazingly for most people

I would suggest modding the game with discretion , not going overboard (optimizing textures , not using anything above 2K resolution etc)

there are several good guides out there (here or on YT) that showcase graphical mod lists for Skyrim SE , along with instructions on how to install them

 

as for "must have" mods , aside from actual fixes (like the unofficial patch) , it really depends on what you are trying to do in the game

there are plenty of amazing mods out there , so you are going to have to be more specific if you want proper suggestions

but since you are going for a werewolf playthrough , I would suggest starting by looking at the different werewolf overhauls out there , and choosing the one that appeals to you the most

S'up ;)

 

SSE Fixes plugin - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/10547/ This fixes a few engine bugs as well as one that causes the game to get slower with each mod you add to your game.

 

Did you use LOOT to sort the load order? Load Order is important. This can make or break the game! You can get LOOT here - https://loot.github.io/

 

Here's some recommended graphics mods...

 

Static Mesh Improvement Mod - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/659?tab=files

 

Noble Skyrim 2K - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/45807?tab=description - It's on the original Skyrim nexus, yes, but the SE version is on there. !!!Also get the SMIM Patch to work with the Static Mesh Improvement Mod on this same page!!!

Enjoy your game, Dude ;) I hope you can get it working right!

lots of these mods tell me that they already installed some of the files and if I want to overwrite them, what do I do?

Let them overwrite. Sorry that I didn't mention that, but some need to overwrite. Some, like Ruins Clutter Improved, have better replacers for textures from Rustic Clutter (which is why I've listed Ruins Clutter AFTER Rustic Clutter).
