Enough lecturing though, let’s get into the logistics and what you will need to start modding. There will still be many videos that you will find useful as I will be going over all the basics. In case you’re not someone that is looking to massively overhaul their game, don’t be put off. Doubly so, if it’s one you’ve poured months of tears, rage and frustration into. Something that you will certainly be proud of. I assure however, that a massive, stable and overhauled load order is a thing of great beauty. So I suggest keeping your expectations in check. Unless you’re copying someone else’s load order, something like this takes months of work for experienced modders. If you were expecting to woop this out in week or even a day you will be sorely disappointed. Though it will require a LOT of time and effort on your part.

Here’s the good new though, it is entirely possible to make a 99% stable game with hundreds of mods that both looks fantastic and play great. Did the footage look stable? Sure, it may be stable for 5 minutes but what about 5 hours? Keep in mind too that the longer you play a character the more bugs and issues will surface, becoming apparent. Were there gameplay mods as well? Even so, that doesn’t mean the experience was balanced. Were they purely graphical? Just because a game looks good doesn’t mean it plays good. Those videos are nice and I have nothing against them but I want you to take a moment and think about what kind of mods they were using. I know you’ve seen the videos online titled something like “Skyrim 2018 load order over 300 mods” or “Insanely modded skyrim AMAZING graphics”, perhaps one of them has even caused you to seek out this video. If this doesn’t sound like something you want to deal with or face, it may be best to just stick to a few mods or none at all.

You will find issues, bugs and problems and they WILL make you frustrated but this is all part of the modding experience.

There are no shortcuts to sitting down, learning to use the tools, reading mod descriptions, searching forums and debugging mod conflicts on your own. Overhauling Skyrim with mods, or any Bethesda titles for that matter, is a sloppy, messy and painstaking process. Interested? Awesome! Stay tuned.Īlright first things first, I’m going tell you something and I need you to do your damnedest to accept it. Unlike other guides out there that hold your hand and treat you as a child through every minute decision, this one will focus on turning you into an intelligent and well-informed modder. But at the same time, I don’t plan on guiding you through the entire process step by step. I want to help you turn your game from this… To this. Do you say you want to mod Skyrim? Very good! That’s what my guides are here for.
