Just follow the installation instructions and the mod manager will be up and running in no time! As before, installing the mod manager itself should be done directly on the hard-drive inside its own dedicated folder for the sake of clarity. This allows for greater experimentation as mods can be turned on or off with ease. Individual mods can be activated or deactivated with a mouse click without going through the hassle of deleting each of the files in the Data folder. These two options are certainly the most user-friendly when it comes to installing a big list of mods. Luckily, Skyrim possesses a handful of excellent mod managers that sort all of this confusing information quite nicely.īeginners should definitely stick with one of these two choices, either Nexus Mod Manager or Mod Organizer 2. Spotting incompatibilities and faulty load orders is next to impossible in this manner. Never do this! Organizationally, this method quickly becomes unmanageable.
Theoretically, mods can be installed directly into the game's Data folder.
