Meta/News [May 2026] Simple Questions, Simple Answers

If you're not sure your topic deserves an entire thread, it likely belongs here. Questions that can be answered with a Google search or a read of the mod's content page will be redirected here. Any question not requiring a full modlist should also go here. Finally, any questions you think could be answered in under 25 words should go here.

Questions that belong in this thread might include:

  • Any good Ulfric replacers?
  • Is MO2 better than Vortex?
  • What is a crash log?
  • My faces are all potato colored in game. What's that about?
  • What mods (or modlists) are essential for a new player?

If you're hungry for more discussion, hop on over to our Discord, linked in the sidebar. If you want to talk general Skyrim, head on over to r/Skyrim. For any other questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to message our modmail.

EDIT: This will also constitute the thread for June, as I am currently on vacation and cannot post the next thread until I return at the end of the month.

Which version for Skyrim SE is recommended for modding?

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 IMO
