Hello im wondering if i can put skyrim modded on an usb connect external hard drive.

I was thinking of pluing the hard drive in via usb and installing skyrim on it then i can remove it and play it again

when ever i feel like it. I dont have much room left on the main hard drives so i was thinking this will sort it, but i also want to mod the hell out of it

and use mod manger im not sure what one it is, but its one manager you can have 2 diffrent lots of mods on.

any advice and help would be greatfull. aslo the drive is 250gb so loads of room.

Theoretically yes. 

Would I suggest it? No. I wouldn't. The slow speeds of USB connections will greatly decrease your performance.

it is very simple, if you want to do once from Skyrim a break, then copying the complete data folder to an external hard drive.

I make Incidentally also so,but also because I with mods experimenting a lot, as a backup copy!
if something goes wrong, so my game is destroyed, then I delete only the Data folder and replace it with my backup copy.

it's better than a new installation.
I have more than 1,600 gigabytes of collected mods on an external hard drive.
