Help with mod set up and order ( Skyrim SE Beastiality )

[CrazyMatey]

Hello, everyone.

 

I'd like to ask for some help with modding. Funnily enough Skyrim is probably one of the games I have the least experience modding and I would like if someone helped me out a little out here, since I am frustrated with failures or stumbling over tiny mistakes that fuck up everything.

 

I want to make a Skyrim mod list around beastiality and the mods show requirements to mods, which lead to mods and then make order that doesn't fit the other mod's order and it just gets confusing for me. If it's possible I'd like someone to make a small tutorial or list of everything I'd need to download, in which order to install and if I need to click something to get the mod working as intended. I'm hoping there are others out there already with something like that and I can ask for some help. I'd love to fit into that some high quality graphic mods, so the game looks beautiful.

 

Would it be possible to use something like this from Nexus as a base or do I need to start completely from scratch? https://www.nexusmods.com/games/skyrimspecialedition/collections/xxsqm4

Every mod wants to be loaded last. Obviously only one mod can be loaded last. If you're using MO2 then you have no control over which mod loads last, since Overwrite is always occupying that slot. xEdit and your mod manager are the ones that say where mods need to be. Ignore everything else.

Install order is irrelevant. If your mod manager for some reason considers this a problem, switch to Mod Organizer 2.

Mod descriptions exist for that.

Sure, if you like working in an environment where no one has any idea about how or why it works. I realize the options are not appealing perhaps: spend 10 years building your own setup like the rest of us, or download a black box and reverse-engineer it when it breaks. It's easy to forget or not realize that what you see in Skyrim videos may sometimes have a decade of work behind it.

 

In the end it doesn't matter which path you take, you'll have to learn your mod manager, xedit, nifskope and the rest regardless - and learning these automatically answers all the questions in your OP.

the main mod you'll need

and the page has links to some of the other mods you'll need.

Okay, so a load of work it is. Probably by that point I won't have any leftover energy to play the game but I do have some experience so I guess I'll start trying

This is probably going to be my tutorial then. Thanks for those links, they have a lot of useful stuff and mods.

I kind of reach that conclusion, sadly, but I had hope anyway. Nevertheless, thanks for answering. Since Mod Manager 2 supposedly helps with a lot of this stuff regarding order and installation, I'll get that one to work on.

There are good tutorials on YT, e.g. Gamer Poets.
