Suggestions / Modding Help Skyrim

[MaxPain22192]

So I bought Skyrim about a week ago and I've never played it before modded or modded a game like it before either, I'm hoping to have a really nice first modded playthrough with lewd mods and stuff added, I've already got all the sfw mods like graphics overalls and stuff installed and ready just need the nsfw stuff to be what I'm wanting it to be, I wanna play a male character but have female characters be pretty, so npcs, enemies (at least the ones that have mods), followers, etc., I really like the look of Touched by Dibella so I chose that at least for the npcs and what my followers will be, I also want futa to be in the game for npcs, followers, and enemies as well but I'm pretty sure that will work with TBD. I'm completely fine with any animation pack as long as that it looks decently well with tbd and whatever the enemy characters will have to be. I also want the defeat sex mod and any creature mods and animation packs that could be recommended if possible too but if that won't work with any of the other mods I have then it is fine. I'm also 100% open to any other recommendations of mods that don't pertain to anything above if it is something interesting. I might also need some help with getting everything in the correct deploy order since I've never really had to do that before, at least in other games I have modded in the past. I'd be really grateful to anyone who'd help me with this since I've been trying to get all this setup for the past week with no success.

I would suggest you play the vanilla game first, at least as far as becoming Dovahkin. Just so you see how  it looks and plays (and that it does run without any errors)

 

Then look at the mod you want and look at it's requirements and then at their requirements and so on.

 

For most mods you're going to need

 

A Mod Manager (Mod Organiser 2 or MO2 is the one most recommend)

SKSE (Script Extender)

A replacement Skeleton (XPMSE)

a female Body Replacer (pref. with Bodyslide)

FNIS (or Nemesis) to add animations

 

For lewd mods add:

 

Sexlab Framework

Male Body replacer (Schlongs of Skyrim or SOS is the normal go to but there are newer alternatives)

 

Get those working so you can activate a sex scene between your PC and an NPC successfully and then you can start adding things like SLAL and animation packs,  body physics,  schlongs for women... etc

I already kind of did a base game playthrough, sorry I kind of said that wrong in that first part, I meant first lewd playthrough, I already have all those things you suggested but I use vortex, I already got my game downgraded to the last update before AE and have skse working, everything loads fine with all that stuff, I chose TBD for my female body replacer and I am using SOS for the male one, unless there is a male one that works better with TBD. Could you maybe help me with the other stuff that I asked though in the first post? Also should I swap to mod organizer cause personally I've heard arguments from both and haven't had any problems with vortex so far?

I had no idea that was a body replacer...

If you have the basics working then the short answer there is, No.

The Long answer is Nooooooo.

 

But people here might be more help

So where should I ask in there, do I start another topic / forum in there or is there a specific place I could go to ask for help in there?

Just do the same there as you did here. Explain where your current build is at, just in case anyone else makes the same assumption I did.

 

I do not know what mods are or are not available for SE/AE and this is probably the case for many LE users so it would be better to ask where you are going get people that can help.

Alright, thank you
