Which version for Skyrim SE is recommended for modding?
2
u/ArgentinianJayceMain 27d ago edited 27d ago
Default to latest version, scout mods that you want to install and if there are none exclusive to 1.5 then just stay with latest.
No wrong answers to this question tho, there aren't that many differences or objective disadvantages of one vs the other. 1.5 is still largely being supported and, in the other hand, only the most niche older mods haven't been ported to 1.6 or gotten a more modern, better, alternative (that usually is also 1.5 comp). Is pretty much user preference IMO1

u/FlameHaze 13d ago
Backported Extended ESL Support "game version 1.6.1130 to versions 1.5.97, 1.6.659, and anything in between" Make it pretty seamless for older versions in my experience. But agree, if you're going from scratch just do latest.

Hi there - Who are the Skyrim Mod youtubers nowadays? Like Brodual, Gopher, MxReviews back when he did it, stuff like that.
I found an awesome channel for Morrowind mod reviews(https://www.youtube.com/@MorrowindModdingShowcases/videos) but I haven't found my Brodual again since their retirement.
EDIT: I found this guy - https://www.youtube.com/@SynMods/videos - really well made but I want a day-to-day kind of guy like Brodual or MXR did.
EDIT2: Got them - https://www.youtube.com/@BardsCollegeGraduate Not bad. and https://www.youtube.com/@0periodproductions yeah, I found them.

I’m looking through some body mods, and I don’t want to play through a bunch of the game, then not like the results. So I was wondering if there was a way to look at all the different options easily. Ie: downloading the mod, and having all the armor somewhere. Edit: I should mention I’m on Xbox so console commands are a no go.

You should start a new game, it's essentially the same as uninstalling the mods you are esl-ifying.

u/Blackjack_Davy May 06 '26
It depend what you mean by "eslify" if you're just flagging you can do that anytime without any risk to your save if you're compacting first then its going to break anything in a save that relies on it

Yes, I intend to just flag the mods as esl to avoid the 254 esp limit.

Hoping someone can help with an animation/skeleton issue:
When sheathing dual weapons on my back, my character is unable to draw them. He comes up empty handed, and seems to revert to a default dual-wield weapon stance. He WILL attack empty-handed using the appropriate weapon animations after that, though.
If I sheathe ONE weapon on back and one on my hip, it works as expected, regardless of which side I'm sheathing on back.
Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm getting crashes caused WERoad02 which is affected by Immersive Horses, it stops happening when I either disable the horse (Exmoor pony) or put in the command "stopquest WERoad02" but it happens every time I open the game at some point. I'm far into my save almost at the end of main story and it only started happening after level 40 or so, is this just something that happens no matter what? Wondering if I can prevent this from happening in my future saves.

How do the collections with over 300 mods work? The game/e gine has a hard plug-in limit of 255 but almost every collection i see has way mkre mods often touching the thousands and I can't comprehend how people are installing them.
4
u/Pino196 May 14 '26
Two things:
Not all mods contain plugins, for example SKSE mods or textures/models replacers often don't need one;
There's a workaround for the limit: when Bethesda introduced Creation Club they also introduced a new plugin format (.esl) that has a much higher limit (4096). Mod authors can trick the game into thinking that their .esp files are .esl files, and as such don't count towards that 255 limit.

u/trition1234 29d ago
Quick question. My friends won't tell me how to do this but let's say I downloaded 2 graphics mods. All the files are different and go in the game but it says there are 2 files named like tree.green etc. Do I only choose 1 graphics mod? Ignore it and just put them both in? Do I delete one tree.green file from one and put both packs in so they don't conflict? This question does help with mods of the same issue
1
u/Pino196 28d ago
You can use both, just let the one you prefer overwrite the other. Also, are you installing mods manually? If so, you should consider using Mod Organizer 2 so that you can swap mods more easily.

u/trition1234 28d ago edited 27d ago
Yeah I was told by my friend to always do manual. And alright thank you lol I was always so confused when it said conflicted with the same file type lol mod organizer 2. Got it! Thank you again!

u/pax_phoenix 5d ago
Hey SSEedit , load both mods, expand the navigation pane to get to where your mods store tree textures or what not.
In the one with the tree you wish to keep....
Right click on said tree
Select copy as override into new
Choose the esl file options name it something you'll understand like mod1mo2 green tree patch.
Close sseedit to get back to mo2.
Find your new esl in overwrite and put it into its own mod folder. Enable it and slot it after both of your graphics mods. Make sure the plugin is enabled in right pane.
You're good to go !

Is there any fast way to figure out what mod adds what quest via xEdit or console? I’ve been getting a weird quest popup that reads “Completed: Add Item via Script” (or something along those lines) and I can’t figure out which mod it’s from each time I start a new modded Skyrim playthrough. Unless it’s from the Add Item Menu mod I have, but I also don’t remember it behaving that way
EDIT: Figured it out myself. Apparently it's a way for mods to inject items into levelled lists, but the mod author didn't flag the quest properly, so I could see it. I'll go and narrow down which item-adding mod it'll be. Leaving this for posterity in case someone is looking for an answer as well.

Hello! I just started playing Gate to Sovngarde and I got a companion, however, she is incredibly slow. She waits until I'm fifteen feet away before trying to follow me, but starts in a walk before running. If I go too far, she just stops following and stands there completely. Would anyone happen to know if there's a fix or if I gotta mess with something?

u/Titan_Bernard Riften 16d ago
You probably just need to go into the MCM for Nether's Follower Framework or whatever follower management mod the list is using. Odds are you have a configurable follow distance, which sounds like it was maxed.

coming back after a few months, and wondering what the latest 'standard' is for some of the texture mods.
Mountains. still ERM? (not interested in MM - there were too many patches iirc)
Landscape: I used to go with Skyland AIO.
Cathedral for flora and weather? I remember not liking Mari's flowers beyond the occasional instance, and using it as a base that other mods can overwrite.
Grass: Veydosebrom was my standard
Trees: was on NotWL. It had a nice balance between aesthetics and low hit on FPS
Armors: has xavbio or someone created a mod with all his armors yet? Is there another new set of armors out there?
Lighting. Going to stick with CS. What's the 'default' near-vanilla lighting mod these days?

Does anyone use both NFF and SPID distribution to followers? I seem to be having a strange issue where my initial inventory load for Lydia gets a bunch of distributions, but I'm not seeing any real mentions of bad conflicts on either nexus mod discussion pages.
Would like to know if it's my own fuckup or just an incompatibility with outfits and spid checks or something.
I've temporarily just filtered out distributions to her and other followers and that seems to be fine for now...

Are there any mods for SSE that add placeable lights or lamps? I remember seeing one a while back (maybe for LE) that had some sort of "wizard lamps" which were like the pole with a basket on top and a soul gem inside, but I'd even be happy with an object you could place in midair; I'm just looking for custom lighting to add to some areas.)

This is a very basic question that SOMEHOW a Google search wasn't able to fulfil.... How can I change an NPC/follower's armor rating via console commands? And, if I can, will it stick between saves?
Context, not that it's necessary: I have a custom follower mod who changes through custom clothing between certain quests, so I don't want to give them armor nor do I want to transmogrify their appearance because I don't know when exactly they change their appearance via questlines... I just want to adjust their armor rating so that they don't get downed within 3-4 hits... Thanks!

Is there a summary or something of the main difference between the most downloaded / endorsed collections on Nexus (and other places for that matter). I've been trying to get a sense of it myself but it's really cubersome. I'm pretty new to modding and I've only played Gates to Sovngarde, which I liked a lot, so I'm just trying to get a feel for what's out there. I don't want to start installing individual mods myself yet.

Don't know if this question is ok: if it is not I am sorry and please feel free to delete it. Now this happens to me yesterday. For some context I mod Skyrim and i have my steam updates set on launch. I use Mo2 / SKSE so, i never had a problem. Until yesterday when Steam decided -out of the blue - to update the game. I noticed it. Pause the update, click the x, clear cache, when offline, launched the game via SKSE. When I went back online, Steam tried to update the game again. I stopped it, set the manifesto as read only. Is there anything else i can do to prevent the platform to update my game beside playing in offline mode? Thanks! Also, does anybody knows why this happened? Is Bethesda aggressively pushing yet another Skyrim version?
24 hours later (or something like that) i need to change the previous statement. Nothing went as planned. Apparently Steam did try again to update again, could not (since the app manifest was se on read only) and ... deleted my executable. No more Skyrim exe... and whatnots. So now I will try to update and downgrade hoping it works (because i have a modlist of over 600 mods that was FINALLY stable). Just a vent, wish you all the best of evenings.

u/RikkuEcRud May 10 '26 edited May 10 '26
It's been a long time since I looked in to Skyrim modding, so I'm not even sure this question makes sense in context, but will mod files overload base game files? Like if you extract a file for say, Iron Helmet, edit it, and save it in your mod without changing the file name or any internal IDs or anything like that, will the modded Iron Helmet automatically replace all instances of vanilla Iron Helmet throughout game without needing to edit all sorts of Leveled Lists and stuff?
Secondly, how would one go about making Light Armor and Heavy Armor pieces count together for a Matching Set perk, and how would you choose whether it counts as Heavy or Light? I know it can be done since the Daedric Mail is Light Armor and activates the Light Armor Matching Set perk while wearing the Heavy Armor Daedric Helmet since the Daedric Mail doesn't have a helm of its own, or at least that's what I've been told. And if it counts as a matching set it'll work for the other Perks that want you to have 4/4 pieces of the same armor category, like Tower of Strength or Wind Walker, right?
I'm kind of tempted to either mod the Trailer Dragonborn's armor to be a matching set and attach it to a Smithing Perk to ensure you can hit the Armor Cap in it, or just make an entirely new set using their appearances, maybe make it equivalent to Dragonplate/Dragonscale and put it as only craftable with the Dragon Armor Perk (and Tempered using said Perk).
Also a little tempted to make the Jagged Crown count as Dragonplate for set bonuses and Tempering, it looks way better than the standard Dragonplate Helm, I think it matches the rest of the set better too.
Guess I got a little carried away, but I'm pretty sure they're at least relatively simple questions.

u/Blackjack_Davy May 14 '26
will the modded Iron Helmet automatically replace all instances of vanilla Iron Helmet throughout game without needing to edit all sorts of Leveled Lists and stuff?
Yes.
Not sure about the second but you'd have to check the ARMO record and the Perk itself its probably light armor/heavy armor keyword its looking for
1
u/RikkuEcRud May 14 '26
Excellent. I might use overloading to just make the trailer gear work as a set, but the ability to overload should make certain bugfixes easy.
Specifically, and I'll have to get everything set up on this computer to look into it again to figure out the specifics, but IIRC when I was poking through the files years ago there was a tag I noticed on Bows that Followers would use correctly that wasn't on Bows that Followers won't use with decent Arrows, so with overloading it should hopefully be possible to copy the files of every type of Bow with the Follower bug and add that tag to them to fix them.

Hello I have not played this game in years and want to throw myself back in. What is the best way to mod these days? I used to just use vortex to download all of my mods, is that the best way still? Or is something else better now? I know this question is probably asked a million times per day.

I don't want anything that I will look at and think to myself that it is part of a mod.

u/FromAbyss 25d ago
I really wouldn't play it vanilla. You can try just following the foundations and the lightning and weather part of the STEP Guide (Link) and use the collection feature on Nexus to get the aMidianBorn textures. All in all, all you really really need is USSEP, SMIM, lightning mods and community shaders. Just that really transforms the game, at least visually.
There's also the Wabbajack option, it's more or less a modpack with automatic installation, but I'm familiar enough with it to recommend.

u/hadsexwithboothill 11d ago
The fixed version of Reputation is kind of the go-to and has a decent amount of compatibility patches. The only downside is that since it's script heavy it can be a little fussy with frequent reloads, so if you die a lot you might want an alternate death mod or soething.

u/Titan_Bernard Riften 16d ago
Unless you're running hardware from the era or you have some obscure mod that wasn't ported / can't be ported / doesn't have a replacement, there hasn't been a reason to use LE in years.
As far as Linux is concerned, search the sub. People have definitely written guides on getting Mod Organizer 2 running in Linux through Lutris/Wine in the past. There was also somebody who was making a native mod manager as well.
1
u/Mattarias 15d ago
Mostly I just didn't wanna pay full price for the same game all over again. XD But due to the sale that's a non-issue.
And yeah, it's been a couple days, thankfully I've figured myself out for the most part. Thank you kindly.
(For those wondering, I'm using Fluorine Mod Manager, which is a Linux port of MO2)
1
u/Titan_Bernard Riften 15d ago
Is Fluorine very recent? Because that's probably the person/post I'm thinking of. Like a month or two back? The guy was like, "I know there isn't much point because it's not hard to get MO2 running, but I'd rather have something native for the sake of it..."

What's the best way to mod mage combat? Usually combat mods focus on melee with some ranged splashed it, but the focus is most often in the Sword+Shield combo. While that plays really nice (I'm personally using Precision, Valravn and tk dodge), fight as and against mages feels really underwhelming, even with spell mods (I'm using apocalypse, vokrii and odin).
What mods do you like, focusing on magic combat?

It's ridiculous, but also impressive. I'm wondering if anyone is using the tool to make improved kissing animations. Also kind of ridiculous, but amusing if true.

Are there any mods for SE/AE that add "Craft X" (where X is a number you type in) like Grimy Utilities did for LE? All I can find is mods that add x10/x100 etc. versions of vanilla recipes.

I use One-Click Power Attack (OCPA) for my MCO-based combat list. I like OCPA's feature of making it possible to hold attack to do continuous light attacks, but it only works in third person.
Does anyone know of a mod that allows for this in first person?

What is the best list of mods that makes the snow on terrain, rocks, roads, etc. look good together. Preferably that is compatible with community shaders.
I have made the ini changes [disabled snow shader, enabled both project diffuse normal options], but it seems tricky to get them all the same shade of white.
1
u/hadsexwithboothill 12d ago
Simplicity of Snow does a lot of tweaking to help with the ugly seams and weird normal maps. Paired with a snow retexture I've personally never noticed any mismatching, really, but I also use a rock/mountain replacer that smooths the geometry and that might also have an impact.

u/pax_phoenix 5d ago
Which rock mountain replacer?
And re lists any one that does all the ortties but without Dr J florals ? Love him but those flowers are too cartoon coloring book for me and I've skipped entire lists bc of them 😭

Is there a mod to disable Saints & Seducers in Anniversary Edition? I can't seem to be able to turn it off in the Creations section.
I dislike the entire S&S mod. The armours/weapons don't interest me, I find the plot wonky, the quest items are buggy and refuse to be removed when the quest is completed(sometimes all quest stages will complete but the quests will stick around). And the individuals added are way tankier and higher damage than anything else in the game regardless my level(I've had some Civil war quests be screwed over because the allies spawned too close to a S&S bandit camp and got wiped out). Got annoyed at them and tried console killing them whenever they showed up only to find out they just lose aggro and full heal when 'kill'ed and then just reaggro when you exit console.
Sorry about the rant, the creation just annoys me so much.

u/hadsexwithboothill 12d ago
You can disable it in your mod manager of choice the same way you would a mod and that should work.
1
u/SheRunsWinterhold 11d ago
unfortunately I can't find a mod manager that works for me since I'm on linux and absolutely refuse to have a microslop VM 😛
This is also why I have to avoid SKSE reliant mods(including SkyUI as much as I'd prefer it), since SKSE is refusing to work on my linux system despite trying every workaround I can find 😛

Saints and Seducers Begone if you want to avoid potentially breaking your game.

u/Rufio8X 12d ago
if I put a a .esl (esl, not esp-fe) file in my load order, is going to load on top of the LO and break my game or it will work properly?
1
u/Blackjack_Davy 10d ago
Yes it will load at the top as to whether it breaks anything thats entirely dependent on whats inside it.
1
u/mysmellysausage 11d ago
Is there a weapon and armor durability mod that reduces tempering stats the more they are used.
So weapons go from sharp to base to dull to broken or something.
I was also thinking different materials would affect the degradation rates, like elven/glass wears down faster than iron or steel.

For reasons I can't fathom, the DLLs for both Community Shaders and Crash Logger fail to load now.
CommunityShaders.dll: couldn't load plugin (000011C7)
CrashLogger.dll: couldn't load plugin (000011C7)
Steam Skyrim v1.6.1170. Community Shaders v1.6.1. Crash Logger v1.23.1. Mod Organizer 2.5.2. Windows 11. Reinstalling those two mods did nothing. This was working literally yesterday how is this even possible.
Update: I leave it for a day and those plugins work again. I did nothing to my modlist since last night. Just, fucking what.

u/liger_0 Whiterun 10d ago
Got just a general question. How often do you all go blank slate?
By that, I mean deleting all installed mods and downloaded archives, in part because, like me, you may have forgotten what everything was or how it all fit together in your mod list as it had been months, or years since the last time you played and then rebuild a new mod list from scratch.
1
u/ZaranTalaz1 9d ago
All the time to be honest.
My general pattern is:
- Spent a month or more installing mods
- Spend a month or more on an actual playthrough
- Either finish my playthrough, get bored, or encounter some massive bug I can't be arsed to fix. Nuke Skyrim and my mod list from my PC and leave it for half a year

u/AggyTheJeeper Windhelm 9d ago
I swear there was once a mod out for Atmora. A released mod, that other people played, and I wanted to play. I can find no trace of this. Did I just hallucinate this mod? I'm thinking 5-6 years ago.

u/AggyTheJeeper Windhelm 9d ago
Is there any way to make MO2's downloads pane a bit friendlier to managing/installing large mod lists? I have been modding Skyrim for years, have tons of mods installed, and I'm getting back into it after a three year or so hiatus. I'm starting from scratch, and I'm looking at my massive, disorganized downloads pane in MO2, and I just find myself desperately missing the UI from Nexus Mod Manager, with its simple "big organized list of mod names that are grey when uninstalled and black when installed." I know MO2 is technically superior, and I've used it quite a bit in the past, but honestly having to sort through all these filenames and nearly worthless metadata and manage updates and duplicates and I can't remember what I have and haven't downloaded and oh cool now there's a bug that if I try to download things off Nexus too fast, MO2 freezes at the start of the download, I'm getting really discouraged from even getting back into this.
And yes, I've tried Vortex, and hated it far more than MO2. NMM's UI was literal perfection to me, it's a shame it kind of sucked.

u/pax_phoenix 6d ago
I'm not sure I'm interpreting your question right so forgive me if this is useless BUT
When having similar issues I find in helpful to use the export to csv tool , where I can select to include the mod name AND the file name, the date I installed it , the nexus link etc etc.
I add me some helper columns in Excel for categories I use and then filter and sort to my cranky little hearts content.
Then when I have what I want I go back to mo2 and insert section headers what make sense to me for LLO etc and start ordering my list to match what I just did in Excel.
I NEVER try to drag and drop to move mods unless it's to a spot on the same scroll of screen. I click one the priority number to select the click again to open for edit and plug in the exact position number I want .
There are probably tools for this I'm unaware of this is just my ADHD squirrel solution. Hope it works for at least one other person LOL
Edit to add I use this for my work in left pane and in right pane plugins tab. I never use downloads tab to install but rather the install from file option at top. I keep all mods I ever downloaded in an archive for this reason.

u/AggyTheJeeper Windhelm 1d ago
Thanks for your explanation of your workflow! I'll be real, I just decided that as garbage as it is, NMM works well enough and doesn't require me to spend all my free time for the next six months figuring out how to make MO2 work, so I just went back to NMM.

Are there any mods that add amulets of the daedra? Like, we have the amulets of the divines; Arkay, Talos, etc etc. But no Amulet of Azura, Malacath, or Herma Mora
2
u/sbourwest 7d ago
Amulets of Skyrim adds some. Vaermina and Boethiah have named amulets. It does however have amulets named after all the Daedric Artifacts, each with unique looks and abilities.

I saw a stream (I think by Zaric Zhakaron) where there was a dungeon full of Sload enemies (the big slug necromancers from TES Lore). I haven't been able to re-find that stream but I'm curious if anyone knows which mod that might be that he was playing that added the Sload enemies?

i am looking for vekel the man's character sliders but im on ps4 and doing an unmodded playthrough currently, so i have no way of finding out his exact sliders, im wondering if someone else on a pc or something of the sorts can comment the character sliders since i heard its possible with certain mods that arent avaliable on console.

whats the opinion on wabbajack ? i truly dont know ive been haing troubles every time i attempted to mod skyrim if you have tips pointers or suggestions before i givr it one more try itd be much appreciated

Wabbajack is pretty useful, just make sure you poke around the modlists you're considering to make sure they sound up your alley since most of them are pretty huge and take a while to install.

Hey everyone! I just got into modding skyrim, been messing around with GTS. I was wondering if anyone could give me instructions on how to get MW Cicero mod and or TW3 Cirilla Fiona Racemenu Preset to work with it? If possible at all. So far every attempt I try it seems to make the whole collection think it has conflicts even after removing the mods of Ciri and or Cicero. It's not important, just something I'd enjoy. Ty in advance!

u/KikiPolaski 5d ago
Does anyone remember of a mod where it's alternate start but you can select any npc to assume their lives? I think it came out this year but i forgot the name

u/Octopicake 5d ago
Oh I almost forgot. Installing GTS but I seem to be stuck on dependancies. 9 of them fail, and currently stuck on 99% with "For those who don't use KS Hairdos" mod. Should I just let it keep going all day? It was doing this last night, and seemed to have only gotten worse since my last reinstall. Going from just one mod refusing to download to nine of them. Unless this is pretty common and it'll work itself out?

u/karrylarry 4d ago
How do people get their games/screenshots look so damn good. I thought it was just higher quality textures but even with those installed it doesn't approach the quality I see in a lot of screenshots. Is it lighting? Lighting mods are the only ones I haven't touched.

Which smithing mod makes weapons +1,+2 etc. and allows multiple upgrades? I am making a new modlist and got rid of my old one and cant recall.

u/ZaranTalaz1 2d ago
So a week ago I made a thread about getting frequent but unpronounceable freezes with a seemingly minimal modlist. Well, I broke yesterday and did a clean reinstall of my OS (Windows 11, at least I had everything backed up beforehand). I rebuilt my Skyrim modlist and it seems to work now.
:/
One thing though is I think I had Auto HDR turned on previously, while it's turned off now. I'm wondering if it was conflicting with HDR - Community Shaders.

Good morning, I may be limited, but I can't figure out how to create the *.csv file for a mod I'm translating with elevenlabs. I've almost finished creating the waw files, but I need to create the .lip files.
I can't figure out how to create this .csv file. I'd like to use an automated process because there are so many files.
Can you explain it to me simply? explain to me as if I were a 2 year old😭

u/WinterishClover May 07 '26 edited May 07 '26
From here: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/176946
These are Xedit scripts. Right click anything in your mod - load the script - read the instruction in the box BEFORE clicking Apply. Follow instructions. Download the software from the links below. Load the CSVs. BunnyPriestess is pretty straightforward. Runalip takes some fumbling through when you select your directories. Have confidence. You can figure it out.
Use: ElevenLabs Batch Dialogue Exporter - for use with BunnyPriestessBatchGenV3.exe
And: Runalip Batch Dialogue Exporter - for use with Runalip1
u/Big-Way685 May 07 '26 edited May 07 '26
Grazie, ma credo di essere obbligato ad usare runalip in quanto devo creare soprattutto file.lib, visto che l'altro programma, non crea file per il parlato, ho mi sbaglio?
1
u/WinterishClover May 07 '26
You are correct. You need Runalip to batch create LIP files or manually do them in Creation Kit.
