We need people like you, way to make things simple! Been modding for years but always ran into problems at somepoint cause the load order was messed up etc. Now taking a more calm approach and modding has been actually fun and not frustrating! :D Thank you!

Man you have no idea how grateful i am to find your video. For someone just starting out with modding Skyrim as a long time vanilla player switching to pc you actually give some clarity in this big confusing mess if you have no idea what you're looking at. Thank you so much!

Man perfect timing! I just blew the dust off my copy of skyrim a few days ago it's been a long while since I messed around with the modding side of it. Appreciate your time with this video for sure!

Video summary:

1. Skyrim and Skyrim Special Edition are two separate games, each with it's own mods compatible only with itself.

2. Check the mod's last update time and game version (check the posts section to know if the mod is up to date and still worked on).

3. Check the mod's version, and possible compatibility patches.

4. Check the mod's compatibility with other mods.

Just came from console skyrim finally so I can start getting into the craziness of pc modding and this video singlehandedly taught me everything I needed. Great to see people still making guides and enjoying this masterpiece still. Thank you!

Great video; it's been years since I last played Skyrim, nowadays I finally got a decent rig for an ultimate experience that wouldn't make me bother about anything along the way. You made a clear and objective step by step of what's crucial, the rest depends on our own preferences.

This is a great modern video for beginners and probably sorely needed. The only other thing I might have included would be a more explicit description of the difference between AE and SE. Most new people don't understand that AE and SE are used in the community to describe version numbers largely, which is much different from steam etc. People think of them as different games but they are the same, just different version numbers.

I can't thank you enough for making this. These mods are overwhelming when you want to start running a lot. The load order is not always specific and you're stuck with game crashes or just mods not running at all. I've just got back into Skyrim after a few years, this video was incredibly well detailed and helpful. Thank you

Great tutorial. The first steps in modding skyrim is working with skse and learning how MO works. Its not hard but it will help you understand what mod is right for you.

Thank you soooo much. I started from scratch after playing Skyrim 32bit years ago. I dreaded modding SE. The foundation you recommended is a time and frustration saver. I will recommend your channel.

The fact that you updated this TODAY, I was working on this and I goofed something up and it required an uninstall of the game and to restart almost all of this. Again thank you!
