Looking for some suggestions

[SlothGoon]

So long time fan of elder scrolls and fallout but new to mods. Always had the stuff for the console but now having moved up to a PC im looking for the better life . I was Wondering if i could get pointed into a good starting point for Skyrim Special Edition or Fall out 4 specifically Or some people out there on youtube who can give out some good guides/ information. Thank you.

Check the top 100 mods here on Nexus for each game you want to mod. That's how I found many of the ones I still use. You can just google "the top ten somethings for Myfavegame" and usually find some vids that will point you to some more mods. It's really about how much digging you want to do to find that special something. If you like a specific author, check their profile to see what else they might have done and check the mod pages to see if the author gives any mod suggestions to go with or compliment their mod.

 

One important thing to remember is that modding on your pc will be more difficult to do because of various reasons. So read each mods installation instructions very carefully! Don't try to install and test a whole bunch of mods at one time. Install and test each one individually so that if/when you run into any problems you won't have to guess what it is- and you will run into problems. That's just part of modding on pc.

 

Another thing to remember is to make a "hard" save right before testing new mods. Also, don't make a save with new mods installed and then remove or uninstall those mods. It will screw that save and make it useless! You might get it to load and maybe even play, but with the absence of those mods it will fubar your game eventually.

If you have played the game vanilla, and there are aspects you know you want changed, you can pretty much bet there will be a mod for it. :)

There was only one modification I was looking for when I started doing this I'm somewhat ashamed to say. Even that turned out to be a PITA for Skyrim because there were so many choices. :wink:

Yeah...... I find myself looking for something specific, and paging thru, thinkin' "Oooo, that would be cool......" And I end up with 200 mods in my load order.....
