#1 thing i learned from this video, you can make folders for steam games this is amazing. Seriously though great series, you don't know what you don't know, and I'll finally have some semblance of an idea of what im doing instead of following step by step guides and completely messing up my installs without realizing it

Dude, this is playlist is great. I played like a hundred hours of lazy modding, just dowloading from nexus and using vortex to install, not even reading the description in the modding page most of the times. Of course I had many conflicts issues and crashes, and eventually just gave up. Now I decided to come back and do it things properly, and found this playlist, PERFECT!

[felixvictoriano]

dude you are awesome, you have earned yourself another sub. I'm loving this whole playlist, so detailed and very well paced. keep up the good work man!

Had just reached my end with Skyrim modding, then found you, so here we go, great guide content and im following every step

[FurryMurry]

Bro!! I was about to give up on Skyrim, but I followed your whole guide, downloaded over 160 mods (more than I've ever done before!), and Skyrim feels soo much better! It feels like I'm experiencing it for the first time all over again! I love you!! ❤❤❤

[oliversmoochies]

Excellent content! I hope more people like me who gave up on Skyrim find your videos and give modding another try!

[IcarusTheEagle]

Heard about you through Gamerpoets! Great stuff!!

[blampfno]

Not all heroes wear capes, but I've run across several with YT channels.

Nice work, extraordinarily helpful in resuscitating a broken, modded install.

[RoroHano]

I'm usually scared of messing with computer files plus I guess I'm not used to change but this guide was very helpful and hopefully I can follow the whole series, thank you 🙏

[pickledpinto]

Is there a update to this i think steam updated and i dont know how to do the folder for skyrim

[epsilgue]

Thanks for the video. This is my first time attempting to mod the game, and things got really out of hand with MO2 and Skyrim, which led me to do a full uninstall of each.

[tagus]

2:58 Why do you need to create a Steam Library, separate from the rest, and outside of Program Files specifically for Skyrim modding?

[GurtMan]

Should I also delete "My Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition"? Thanks for the tutorial by the way, very clear and well paced.

[chrishill]

[lilwebster]

how do you do this in 2023 steam looks different now than in the video

[ryankennedy]

do i have to remove the mods i have installed? i use vortex and i just did the whole clean installation for Skyrim and wasn't 100% sure if i have to rid mods as well or just leave them. and also another question would you delete your old saves from before you clean Skyrim or are those save files good aswell " the save files are there cause of steam cloud not cause i didn't delete everything"

[chrysshart]

Hey, just fyi, it is possible to create a steam folder outside Program Files on the same Hard Drive. Gamerpoets covered it in his video on how to create a fresh install and it works. I can't remember how to do it now, though.

[meliannhawke]

This is incredibly helpful - thank you so much!
Maybe someone could tell me, will I loose my previous saves when I do the clean install?

[mielaudreyzamora]

This video helps me about my Game. Can you make a Video about Ssedit for Skyrim GOG?

[twotrollshighfiving]

So if I leave Skyrim SE installed in program files, will I face future issues when trying to mod? Will these issues be readily apparent or only arise if trying to use certain mods? At the moment, with the help of other guides, I've only installed MO2 and SKSE (which both function properly) but I don't want to build an expansive list of mods just to find out I built it upon on a shaky foundation and have to start over from scratch.
