Thanks for the detailed video! I now have a much better understanding of MO2 (which has always intimidated me a bit) and discovered I had been doing a couple of things wrong. How you explained it makes modding feel very simple and approachable.

I loved this video, how you explain everything and your voice is so understandabely calm.Thank for all the infos

[chrisanders]

Great tip with the backup button. I actually never knew that.

Thank you so very much! I've used MO2 for a while now. I recently did a OS re install, It has been a while since I setup MO2 so i thought I'd watch some vids, I like the way you explained things & there is some things i didn't know. The one thing I found frustrating & time consuming was i had installed a new mod & was checking or changing the loads order, was wading through the entire list of mods! When I saw your mod list i thought "OMG It's so neat!" I'm definitely doing that! Thanks again!

I am trying to get mentally prepared to switch from Vortex to MO2. Thank you for this helpful how to guide.

MO2 is my favourite mod manager for skyrim. I recommend that if you're not modding multiple games use portable version because if you run out of space you can just move everything and if you have to format system partition everything in portable mo2 remains intact. I also recommend that when you're installing mods make sure that biggest texture replacers are near the bottom of load order and smallest at the top because it helps a lot with performance. What i said here comes from my own experience.

I love your kindergarten explanation really helped!. Thank you so much man i really appreciate it! :D

It's funny people say this one is harder to use than vortex when i've tried getting vortrex working for years and it never worked. First attempt using MO2m after watching this video and i'm up to a 70 mod load order. Thank you for this video.

Always a joy to watch you SkyKing. Coming back to Skyrim after a break and relearning how to mod. Just making certain I have the basics straight and no better place to go then to a known and respected modder. Hoping you'll do a follow up to this with a review of stable versions of Skyrim and what you think is worth having.
Good luck with those pesky Kahjiits. I wonder how they don't rip holes in the fabric and contain themselves from climbing the curtains? :)

I did NOT know MO2 had a built in .ini editor. I've been manually navigating to them through Windows File Explorer this entire time... 0_o

So, an issue I have, I was under the assumption you can modify the size of your Console Commands Window through the .ini files. You mentioned that you can add custom lines in the .ini.?

Like, could I plant in:
(Menu)
Whatever code is to adjust)

Without running into hiccups? Is that sometho yoi can just do? And if so, it wont cause any hiccups or backtracking to fix?

I have a problem.
My esps wont activate automatically. If I activate them manually they're getting deactivated as soon as I start Skyrim with the SKSE loader.
When I start Skyrim with the normal launcher it does work, but SKSE isn't running.
Can you help me?

it will allow me to move the left side to get them in order but it will not let me do the right it keeps saying drag and drops only supported when sorting priority or by mode index. I am trying to get the FNIS to the btm it is above OSA & others which in turn when i load the game it says FNIS has shut down or can not be found which is making my character T POSE, ... or if the character is not froze. it will move but it will only side as a stick man, not walk or run but the other NPC's can move and do other things . and when I hit the cntrl key my follower will crotch down but my character dont do nothing.

Thanks a lot man! I really needed an updated tutorial for MO2; I am making the jump from Vortex because stuff wasn't working due to it's various automated functions 🤢

[zlostnypopolnik]

Hi...
1:05 Why do you specifically keep it as clean as you can? Is it just your sense of order behind it or does it have a specific effect on the functioning of the programs? I had a debate on this topic with one modder and he said that the functioning of the program does not depend on the "purity" of the library.

[hmaiusculooinimitavel]

I really wish all Youtube tutorials were like yours. The only problem I had was that my MO2 had a previous SKSE executable. I was to give up, then watched your video and it really helped me understand the MO and to just create another SKSE64 executable. Many thanks.

When I click mod manager download, nothing happens.
