New noob need help with modding requirements

[BombStick]

Hi guys, i'm totally new with modding(never done it before). This time i tried to use mod in skyrim SE and have some troubles. I download Nexus and Loot, installed mods. But it didn't work. I read back about those requirements of mods and found that i need some mods to run the mod i want. And then, every mods require that i need have more mods require, and there are a lots. Like i'm trying to mod Daedric Reaper Armor, and it need UUNP Daedric reaper bodyslide, and this UUNP mod need Bodyslide 2 and outfit studio, and that Bodyslide 2 need a lot of other mods. So, do i need to down all those mods ?

Heya!

First off, don't get discouraged. Modding can be a very difficult process, especially if you're new.

 

There's an awesome guide by N0rdicCold here (link) that will tell you exactly what mods to pick for maximum compatibility.

This guide is very expansive but I suggest reading at least the first few chapters (up to and including the 'quest tweaks and bug fixes' topic),

this will give you a solid base to work from

 

But first make sure your game is properly set up to start modding, you should definitely install SKSE (can be found here) and look online how to install it into your Skyrim folder.

You should also look into 'cleaning' your master files, this will help with game stability, look on youtube for more information about cleaning your masters and the program: SSEEdit, a cleaning guide can be found here

And installing the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch is probably a good idea as well, this will fix all sorts of bugs that Bethesda missed during development.

 

Skyrim just had an update two days ago, so not all mods will function properly at this time, and it's hard to gauge which mods are affected and which not.

 

For the specific mods you mention, in the guide by N0rdicCold there is a topic further down called: Physical Appearance and NPC overhauls , this topic will tell you exactly how to get the body mods working properly

 

If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask
