If you like you can install all mod's from nexus manually, by copying the subfolders into your Skyrim/Datafolder (read the readme), but be aware if you want to uninstall these files you have to do it manually as well. If you install a just downloaded mod and NMM asks you "if you want to upgrade" always say no! Make sure to restart your modmanager before proceeding with the installation of a fresh downloaded mod and always start the NMM as admin. The steamworkshop mod's are the easiest to install, just suscribe the mod and let steam handle the rest (There are two exceptions Kern and EzE's 3D Worldmap but just read my description for each mod).įor the nexusmod's you first have to register on their site, download the nexus mod manager (NMM) and you are ready to go, it is still a beta version but it runs fine. There are two different kind of modifications the mod's hostet on the steamworkshop and the mod's on nexusmods. Make backups of your savegames in your C:\Users\"yourusername\Documents\My Games\Skyrim folder as well. Make sure to ALWAYS make backups of your Skyrim/Data folder (or at least of each subfolder you are adding/overwriting files) before installing mod's. This guide includes the most important facts of my collected knowledge wich I like to share, because modding isn't always as save as it seems.

But my goal was to make a guide for a complete Skyrim Overhaul with all compatibility issues resolved and all mod's working perfectly together. I am aware that there are already other Mod Guides online covering some of my listed mod's and all. I've testet all of the following mod's myself and am running all of these simulaniously at the time and for the last 100 hours of questing and slaying dragons. I have also added a few tweaks that should all have already been in the vanilla game. My goal is to change that and give you the bestlooking skyrim, that still runs (most of the time) smootly on an up to date system. But then you read this article and there are just some awesome pic's (and believe me the framerate must be 5-10 fps at most, if you ask me) and none or only little information on the running modifications. You all know the pictures that are shown in articles named "How Skyrim looks with 100 Mod's installed" or any similar title.
