But even so, I am a passionate writer at heart. Gamer Since: I suggest everyone try it at least once so you can get an idea of what it is all about. For heavier options, you could try Aldrnari or Living Skyrim. You can see which mods are included in a particular modlist by either looking at the manifest in the Wabbajack program or the archive search on the gallery page some modlists include a spreadsheet with their readme, as well.
REMEMBER: creators of these lists do NOT offer support for any changes you make to the original list unless specified ; you should always read through the instructions and follow the Discord for more information. Mod Organizer 2 — a mod manager option that has a slightly higher learning curve than Vortex, but has a lot of additional features. Neither one is better, but they are different.
I have never used Wrye Bash as a mod manager, so the only thing I can provide are links to GamerPoets video tutorials:. For anyone curious, I used Vortex when I first started modding, but quickly switched to Mod Organizer 2, which I definitely prefer.
This is incredibly helpful as well in determining if a plugin should be cleaned, needs a patch to make it compatible with another plugin, or just is straight up incompatible with another plugin. This is an ever-evolving thing, so it is not gospel. It does not replace reading mod descriptions, or having to make manual changes to load order based on other factors. She also has a section on BethINI. Read this post for more information. Cathedral Assets Optimizer — a tool aiming for automating asset conversion and optimization for Skyrim Special Edition I use this when porting an LE mod to SSE to make sure that all meshes, textures, etc are optimized.
Creation Kit — There are about a million and one things you can do with the Creation Kit, but if you are a beginner, the easiest and maybe even only thing you will potentially need it for is converting plugins from Form 43 to ENB — a program that uses post processing effects to create enhanced visuals in the game.
There are a large number of presets for both LE and SE. Read this article for more information I have plans to add an entire section on this, so there is not much here at the moment LE SE. Nifskope -a program that allows you to open, view, and edit NIF files. Wrye Bash — this is not only another mod manager option, but can also do a number of other things, including creating a bashed patch, flagging ESPs as ESPFEs to save on plugin space, and more.
I think it is just a nice place to start getting an idea of how some of these tools can be used. Here are some great guides that I have come across.
Some are actively updated and still supported; others are defunct, but all of them have information that I have found useful, or at the very least, you can see what mods other people use.
I have personally used the first three below and know they are actively supported and updated. FormId is the actual basic ID of record, the numerical code the engine recognizes it as. Always an 8 digit number. Name is generally the actual name of what it appears as in game if it is interactable in game. Every single record has a unique FormID which helps you find it. Hence why Skyrim. A reference ID is the actual placed base object in the world — if you wanted to spawn a new iron sword, you use the base ID.
Now as for the types of records, here are the important ones you are most likely going to interact with:. Ingredients: Alchemy ingredients, tho confusingly any kind of item can technically be used to make other items via constructible object recipes. Cell: Interior locations.
If you go in a building, you are in a cell. Tamriel is the primary worldspace that you walk around in. Cities with loading screens have their own world spaces Whiterun, Solitude, etc. Some other limited areas have their own worldspaces. Should you choose to install your mods using installation management software, there are two main choices, Mod Organiser and Nexus Mod Manager. My article introducing Nexus Mod Manager can be found here. My article introducing Mod Organiser can be found here.
The load order for your installed mods in Skyrim is vitally important to ensure that your game is as stable and error-free as possible. An incorrect load order can cause crashes, or even result in the game failing to load at all. First, you need to download the latest version of BOSS from their website.
When you first launch it, you may get the below error. If you see this error, launch Skyrim until you see the menu inviting you to start a new game, then quit. BOSS now automatically updates itself, performs self-checks, re-orders your mods and then opens up the results.
It will present you with three tabs:. An example of the output once BOSS has scanned all your recognised mod plug ins. Note : the Bash Tag suggestions are for another application that can be used to create levelled lists known as Wyre Bash and can be safely ignored.
Use the mods readme files as a guide as to where in your order they should go. To clean mods, we will use a tool called Tes5Edit. Note : For best results, start at the top of your load order and work down, working on one mod at a time. Today, we looked at two tools to help ensure that not only are your mods ordered correctly, but that they are clean. By using these two tools together, your game should run much better and be trouble-free.
