A Step By Step Guide To Modding Skyrim on PC in 2024. Using the same example throughout the series, with no assumptions on what you may or may not know.

Each mod has been chosen and installed at a certain point, so you will already have any 'REQUIRED MODS' installed when you reach that stage.

IMPORTANT: *Do Not Install Lanterns of Skyrim II*

After re-writing the script for this episode, I had missed a compatibility issue between Lanterns of Skyrim II and ELFX Exteriors. LoS2 should have been removed from Stage 1.

These are NOT compatible and whilst it fortunately is not game breaking and I have tested multiple scenarios to confirm, it can cause minor errors which, considering this is all about immersion, is probably best removed from the list!

Please ignore any references to Lanterns of Skyrim II and everything else can be carried out as usual.
I have blurred the section where I mention it but it can take a few hours to process.
If you have installed it already, exit the game, launch MO2, find the mod in your mod list, right click and select 'Remove Mod' and confirm, then, visit the Plugins Tab and click on Sort.

An oversight on my part and I apologize!

A big thanks to Denz for bringing this to my attention. I would have missed it otherwise.

It's been said time and again, but deservingly so; this is an amazing series and I'm glad I stumbled upon this as I was trying to learn to mod my Skyrim!

[jackhealy]

I've decided today to try out modding Skyrim for the first time on my brand new PC rig and after watching every part of your tutorial series, I am gobsmacked that this isn't on the front page of nexus! Such a fantastic tutorial, so thorough but also simple to follow along and with really helpful modding tips.

[Durzo_Blint]

Dude this is amazing, I've been following the whole series and everything is just perfect! Thanks for this great great work, you're incredible!

[zonule_]

This series is coming out at the EXACT right moment for me. Just bought a new computer and looking to build a mod setup from scratch, but way too picky to use someone else's modlist. Thank you so much for your diligent, easy-to-follow guides! You're saving me from endless modding headaches

[erikthegamer]

most detailed and advanced mod install suggestion in skyrim modding! thank you!

[routermaja]

Sweet guide! Modding was so frustrating before and now I'm having an awesome time

[DinoMan_]

Appreciate your videos! Because of your precise walkthroughs I've been able to re-mod skyrim within weeks. I have even uninstalled everything from scratch after I had messed up a previous build a few days prior due to messing up a previous build but I can easily do everything again after following your setup. I'd appreciate a "how to make your character look amazing mod list/order" for a video since I cannot find a comprehensible guide to follow to do so. I still struggle with downloading mods and other assets needing High Poly Head.

[ioanstraton]

Jesus man... you're a GEM! Thanks a lot for all the videos!

[oneringtorule]

Thanks for the work! This playlist is the best I've seen!

[vukasinradonjic]

By far the most well-explained series for modding. I am using vortex and most of the steps are so similar that even with my lack of knowledge and expertise I'm finally able to level-up my modding experience. Pleasure to watch and all it requires is steady videos such as you do. Keep up the good work mate

[bullymaguire]

Thanks for these guides! I have been following along and it is coming along fantastically! Before, I just downloaded mod packs because I felt overwhelmed by the amount of overseeing mods and making sure they aren't conflicting with one another. Your guides have helped me feel more confident in modding skyrim!

[houndrobertson]

So I commented on the first video I think? Same praise as before with an added Thank %&#* you made this series. Seriously amazing, we need you to do more with this same build after, maybe even videos that give multiple alternate progression suggestions in one video as a comparison? i really think these videos is going to open up skyrim modding even more then in the past for people, kudos!

[memedoq]

not sure why but new beginnings keeps saying the <data> content is not valid? I'll avoid that mod for now, but just curious potentially how to fix that, ty!

[harrydillamore]

Yessss bro! Just in time for the weekend, thank you so much!

[ReFractalus]

Great stuff, and following along is possible at a good pace with minor pauses. One thing (probably mentioned before): Would have been sweet if you called out the numbers that you so wisely let the separator names precede. That is what makes me pause it most, and disturbs the flow quite a tad.

[AdoteAzhar]

Keep em coming bruv, and thank you so much! you're the best buddy!

[-Lost_soul-]

I’m following ur guide an it’s been good so far hopefully I can keep up I’m probably one of the worst modders there is

[WIll-svsn]

I don't have time this week to play skyrim hope i have time this week or next one i don't have time to play and don't really want to but your vidz make me want to play and enjoy skyrim thanks
