So Skyrim mods refer to modifications specifically geared toward modifying the game in some capacity.

They refer to tweaks, additions, changes, subtractions or anything that modifies a game or program-hence the name.


This is just for the basics, no frills.At its most basic level, “mods” refer to modifications that can be made to games and programs. I install the WRYE BASH 308 because it is the one Bethesda uses, but so far only two of the 180 mods I use have needed to use itĪnd the RESHADE_SETUP_4.9.1., Which helps to install compatible effects in the DX9 and DX10 and DX11 and DX12 versions.Īnd the universal SKSE32 (for the LE version), or the SKSE64 (for the Special Edition), the indispensable SKYUI and the unofficial patches for the game, such as the UNNOFFICIAL SKYRIM PATCH. 0.71.0 (deprecated, but it is the best to list the installed mods and the loading order that you put in a text file, just for that reason I have it) I have used the MEMORYBLOCKLOG and the SAFETYLOAD to optimize the capacity of the machine The and the TES5EDIT (to clean the bugs) VORTEX (my preferred to install), although many use MOD ORGANIZER 2 (and those highly recommend it, I don't) There are basic executables that must be used permanently for the installation of the mods itself, because they make your job easier and help you eliminate some bugs. As an example, although in Nexus you can find the 1.0 GB Static Mesh Improvement (ESSENTIAL) or a 1.5 GB one in another mod site, if any of those are heavy, take into account that the version of in the Workshop of Steam is 650K and does not usually give problems (in fact it is the one I use for the same reason)

But as an advice, you should always be clear about: a) the version you have installed, LE or SE, and b) the graphic and ram capabilities of your machine. Using mods extends the experience of playing TESV, but requires a learning process that can be somewhat slow.
