I need help

[AK_Stinger907]

I recently bought a gaming laptop for modding purposes mostly Skyrim, I wanted to get a few adult mods cause what the hell, but I just can't figure out how I'm supposed to implement them, I've read the instructions on the ones I've gotten And already have them downloaded but applying then to my game file is so confusing, I've never done this before or at least not like this I'm jumping from xbox to PC so naturally modding is drastically different I just really need some help, any videos or extremely detailed lists would be helpful, I just need a lot of details and precise information for me to understand something, I need every step explained in detail, sorry for any inconveniences and Thank you

So you will also have to jump from having your hand held to thinking for yourself.

 

LE has been out for 10 years and SE for 5. The web is full of all sorts of guides and tutorials on every aspect of modding either one.

 

If you are running LE then use these:

If you are running SE then use these:

https://www.loverslab.com/topic/118460-skyrim-se-for-beginners-v-319-3bbb-hdt-smp-hph/

 

If you have problems and can't find a solution then open a thread. If you are running SE then be aware that SE has its own section of the forum.

This advice is solid. Mod managers do not directly install mods into your game folder. It is easier to uninstall mods without hurting your base game.

 

You are going to have to be patient with incompatibilities and script overloads, e.t.c. Only install one or two mods at a time and check them out for function in game. It will probably take a few attempts to get things the way you want and you will have to make compromises between what you want and what your computer is able to run. I don't think anyone gets it right the first time. As you continue to mod your game, you will gain knowledge. Eventually you will get to the point where you know what to look for in a mod, whether it will work for you or not. Before choosing a mod to try out, read the support thread to see if people are having issues or if the last post was six years ago and the mod is decrepit to the point that no one uses it. Eventually you will know enough to be able to change mods to suit your purposes. A good example of that would be changing body type between unp and cbbe which is actually pretty simple when you know where to look and what you are looking at.

 

It can be frustrating but in the end, very rewarding. You just have to be patient. If you get stumped, you can always start a thread asking for specific help. Describe what you are seeing and what you expected to see. (I need help with XXXX. It is doing YYYY while I expected it to do ZZZZ.)

 

Best of luck.
