Skyrim and Fallout 4 share the same engine, and work similarly. Texture packs are a great example of this. For example, the Skyrim HD mod adds over 2, high-res textures to the game, making it look absolutely fantastic.
But there are also smaller mods for specific textures—like this Real Ice and Snow mod—that sometimes look even better. First, you select the Skyrim HD mod and enable it, just like you would any other mod. You could load these mods in the opposite order, too. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a fantastic game right out of the box, but the reason so many people still play it so many years after its initial release is the massive modding community. Skyrim mods can do almost anything, from drastically improving the graphics, to creating new quests and non-player characters NPCs , to something as simple as making the maps more attractive.
Modding Skyrim and Skyrim: Special Edition isn't too difficult, but it can be a somewhat confusing process. Since there are two different versions of the game, and Skyrim is available on so many platforms, there are multiple different ways to find and install Skyrim mods. There are two versions of Skyrim , and the game is also available on a number of different platforms. The version of the game, and the platform you are using, will affect the process you need to go through if you want to mod your game.
Here are the main sources of mods for Skyrim and the platforms that you can use with them:. Here are the three main sources of mods for Skyrim: Special Edition and the platforms that you can use with them:. Skyrim: Special Edition is a version of Skyrim that is available for PC and consoles, and it is designed to make the modding process very easy. In fact, Bethesda actually hosts a huge variety of mods on their own site, and you don't need to download any additional software to use them.
The first part of this process is to create an account on Bethesda. Here are the steps that you need to take:. Once you have found some Skyrim: Special Edition mods that you want to install, the rest of the process takes place in the game. You will need to tie your accounts together, choose some of the mods you found, and install them.
Enter the email address you used when you created your Bethesda. You need to select Create Account even though you already have an account. As long as you enter the same email you used to set up your Bethesda. Enter your Bethesda. Some mods do not work well with other mods. If your game does not operate normally, try adjusting the load order by selecting Load Order from the main mods screen.
If that doesn't work, you may need to disable one or more mods by clicking on the mod and then clicking on Disable. Depending on your platform, there may be limits on how many mods you can download and install.
The number of mods you can install will also be lower if you don't have enough free space on your console. The space limitations are placed by Microsoft and Sony, while the limit on the number of mods you can install can be placed by either the console manufacturer or Bethesda. The limitation on the number of mods can change from time to time if Bethesda decides that Skyrim is capable of handling more, or less, mods while still remaining stable.
The easiest way to find and install mods for the original version of Skyrim on PC is a program called Nexus Mod Manager, which has an associated website. After that Im not sure and I would say reinstall nmm. Small addition: I know you are clicking the add from file button. It could be that the manager doesnt have the mod directory set up and has no where to place the file. Also, the mod needs to be in its archive still. Dont extract them and try to add the folder, just add the archive.
Dont think of it as adding a mod file so much as adding a mod which is stored in another file lol. Last edited by Mog-Dog ; 25 Jan, pm. Kitty View Profile View Posts. If you can, learn how to use Mod Organizer. It keeps your actual Skyrim directory clean and lets you adjust mods order better. There is no "installing in a certain order". If you install in the wrong order, you can simply drag it up the list with no issues. It essentially runs Skyrim in a sandbox.
The one con amongst all the pros of Mod Organizer is.. NMM is really.. Originally posted by Mog-Dog :. I like nmm, but only because Im comfortable using it and am happy with its functions. I never used a mod manager until skyrim, I just installed them manually and managed my own load order. I have actually never tried mod organizer but have heard a lot about it. Seems like it is more forgiving of your mistakes. You can either download the mod files manually by heading over to the Nexus Mods website, or you can download with the appropriate URL.
The first method involves going over to the Nexus website, clicking on the Files section, and then choosing the specific mods and files you wish to download. Once your mods are installed, click on them and select the option to activate them. Your mod will then be installed through the manager, and you should be able to access it the next time you boot the game.
Not all games require the Nexus Mod Manager to work.
