Small Anniversary Edition Mod list. Don't Forget. More Guides by Vlad For info on downgrading and rolling back see the appropriate sections of this guide I am grateful for having such a great base using this guide which is constantly growing. Being a mod user myself, who learned much from and feels indebted to the community, I am also one of many that help some of you in Steam's Skyrim SE Forums on a daily basis.
The giving back is part of my journey with the community. We fetch it from our neighbors, we kindle it at home, we communicate it to others, and it becomes the property of all. Anniversary Edition Mod List For information regarding the Update and info on the Skyrim Anniversary Edition along with a small mod list see the end of this guide.
See the "Rollback" section if you want to revert back to game version 1. A good number of those mods are for stability and bug fixes. Textures of course still safe in the vast majority of cases. Not sure if you updated? A Thumbs-up goes a long way towards keeping this guide from getting buried down low in the guide section on Steam and instead near the top of the list so others can easily find it.
Recommend it and share it. Needless to say this also keeps me motivated. You should probably Favorite it as well so you can easily come back to this Guide. Thank you. Past polls 1. Which version will you play and how? How many Mods? This table was originally created with Skyrim SE v1. You do not need to be an expert. So use the entire list or pick a few sections to add to the first 58 mods.
I include step by step notes along the way. An Important "To Do List" before we start. But the content is highly valuable. Originally posted by smr :. First and Foremost: You need a legal copy of the game Driver updates. Bethesda does update the game AE is coming whenever there is a Creation Club update. On top of that it is always possible that you will make a mistake or Steam will somehow update the game.
There are a couple of ways to back things up in case this happens. The following video by GamerPoets explains why this is important, and also shows you one of the ways to backup. Now you will always have a backup of your executable in case you unintentionally updated your game via Steam. Requires SKSE Go to your Library on Steam 2. Right-click Skyrim: Special Edition and select Properties 3.
Select the Update tab 4. No worries because once we install SKSE64 we will only be launching from there and should set it at that point. Enabling File Extensions Since we will be working in our Windows Explorer Folders from time to time when modding our game we will need to be able to see the file extensions.
By default, Windows Explorer will not show file extensions Ex:. Repeatedly fixing your game gets old fast especially when you are new to modding. The good news is we have a tremendous modding community that has helped remove many of these bugs. So we will be adding some preventative maintenance mods along the way.
Let's take the time to do it properly from the start. I also set a 1 hour time span during which I am normally off line for safe measure. However you must decide now, before you start building your load order, if you will use it.
This audio mod is worth the install if you have a set-up that can benefit from it's improvements, either a nice speaker system or a nice headset or both. I'll also be setting up a audio sounds section soon for some added kick to your Skyrim sound experience. In the mean time continue on as those mods can be installed at any time. And for those, although the "Unofficial High Definition Audio Project" will make them all the better, you don't need it to use it to benefit from them.
All the audio mods including this one are optional. That said using all or some of them will improve your gaming experience. Download the first 3 files and make sure they are installed before the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch see mod page Later in the guide I have a "Audio FX Sound" section where you can increase your immersion by choosing some improved sound for Dragons, Draugr, Giants, Daedric, Falmer as well as Immersive music and some Bard stuff.
You can use them all or pick and choose. I recommend all of them but the choice is yours. Just make sure you read everything so you don't miss a patch if needed. That section is not part of the Basic Load order per se but is of course for use by all.
Fair warning: some take more work than others. You now have a solid base. For those that came only for the first 10 mods you're done. Also adds functionality to mods like Nether's Follower Framework and others. For version AE 1. Fixes eyes blinking for player eyes blinking can be configured in ini file. Fixes stationary eyes issue when using mods that dynamically change character's expressions PC Head Tracking and Voice Type requires additional patch to fix eyes movement for player, patch is in optional files.
So if you're using at least all the numbered mods then you can skip both Nordic Snow and Simplicity of Snow until you get to the landscape section and you'll see them there. The lighting of the mountains was changed in a way to fit much better to dynamic day night cycles and the weather system of Skyrim.
If you are getting black mountain or rock meshes after the installation then you should reinstall the mod This usually solves the problem Set bEnableProjecteUVDiffuseNormals" in your SkyrimPrefs. If not go fix it and if using Bethini also fix the file path to your. I can't play without this. Well this will make you stand up twice as fast, and it still looks realistic. Simply put, it definitely takes way too long to stand up after a dragon knocks you down.
Not anymore. These Next two mods work well together same MA and have long been staples in all my load orders. These will make butterflies stop being stuck by improving their landing zones and allow them to also roam freely around the world - it's a beautiful site: 27a Butterflies Land True [www.
I'd recommend the espFE version but since we are not worried about the plugin limit but it's up to you. The game clock when using Fast Travel now more closely matches how long it takes to get from point A to point B if you were using other means of travel like for example via running.
Please follow instructions then watch the video I made for the final step. Allows you to knock on locked doors of houses in Skyrim. Can't say enough about this small but great mod. Also good for traveling during a "Survival" playthrough so you can ask to enter people's homes to get out of the environment.
Simply Knock - Tower Stone Fix [www. Here's some optional "User Interface" UI mods you may very well be interested in as well: and if you've been following this guide you have all the requirements for each of them I personally use them all of course Wider MCM Menu for SkyUI [www.
So the mod name or settings category name may clip through the left menu border, especially with font replacers. Also it may happen with translated versions of mods. More Informative Console [www. In original Skyrim you would open to the system page by default but for some reason Bethesda thought it was a good idea to change this to the quests page by default for Skyrim SE. This mod ensures the journal menu always opens at the system page tab. From your inventory you can now see if enchantments are known by the player and other features.
Watch this video on A Matter of Time by our old friend Gopher. His review starts at the mark of the video. Load order does not matter. This is for all users and Webroot users in particular may have a more difficult time contact Webroot if needed. But it's definitely worth setting up. You could disable Webroot when playing SSE but that's up to you - to disable it go to your task bar, right click on Webroot and choose "shut down protection".
Also fixes bug where NPC lips stop moving when a lot of them are nearby. Consider that almost everything that moves including animals, birds, followers, other NPC's, butterflies, giants, bandits, dragons, etc.
No more cows falling from the sky. So if you plan on using mods in this guide that add actors as described above mods like OBIS then make sure you grab this mod 37 Mannequin movement fix [www. This mod does something pretty simple solving a major issue within the game where mannequins never seem to stay put.
Works like a charm. Been waiting for a couple of these mods to update before I created this section and moved everything to it. Later we will add mods that in some cases will overwrite these. I would at the very least take the first two depending on your desired level of perfection. We are starting this section with a choice of mods for the Paarthurnax quest.
I have been using Arthmoor's mod for ages. But there was no voiced dialogue for the added scenes until recently. However later in the guide when we come to the Audio - FX section there is a great mod that enhances all of the dragon dialogue in game which works perfectly with the following Paarthurnax quest mod.
I'll leave Arthmoor's setup here as well just in case someone prefers it. Either this: Paarthurnax - Quest Expansion [www. I'll leave a reminder to grab the patch when we get to that section OR This: - for the die-hard fans of the Arthmoor version was hard for me to let go as well ;- optional paarthurnax dilemma by arthmoor. Version 2. Wildcat - Combat of Skyrim [www. It makes combat more dangerous and visceral by increasing lethality, adding injuries and context sensitive stagger and making combat AI more responsive and aggressive.
It accomplishes this with minimal scripting and no save bloat. Odin - Skyrim Magic Overhaul [www. It improves and fixes vanilla Skyrim spells, makes scrolls and staves viable, and adds new spells, scrolls and staves inspired by previous Elder Scrolls magic.
The new content is balanced and seamlessly integrated into the game. Vokrii - Minimalistic Perks of Skyrim [www. Vokrii is a lightweight "vanilla-plus" perk overhaul that improves build diversity, but respects the vanilla vision and balance.
It is lightweight and uses clean scripting. This is the fix. This next mod is sorely needed for soul trapping. Acquisitive Soul Gems Multithreaded [www. Full support for trapping multiple souls at once, as well as never needing compatibility patches for other mods. Scrambled Bugs, which we installed earlier has an optional patch that will make sure you don't waste souls gems as well. Acquisitive Soul Gems also allows trapping multiple souls at once - so I prefer both mods - your choice.
We will install it there then run Nemesis. ADD these lines to your Skyrim. If you are not sure how to edit the file check the video tab on the ABT mod page, Gopher was kind enough to explain how to do it the video was made for Skyrim, same settings for Skyrim SE. You need to add these lines to your Skyrim. Campfire - Complete Camping System [www. Campfire is the most feature-rich stand-alone camping mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, created from Frostfall's immersive and detailed camping system.
Options for vampires, shamans, relic hunters and more. SanityCkeck Cooking Pot [www. I chose Rusty and 2K although 1K is fine. I grabbed the 2K backpack only. Here we try to evenly spread our locations across the map rather than all bunched together We already installed the much needed Mannequin Movement Fix earlier at mod at mod 37 Four locations to choose from - or take all 4 strategically spaced all across Skyrim I do.
Lanterns Of Skyrim II [www. This new edition includes many improvements and additions, more compatibility, improved light sources, snow-covered lighposts and lanterns in snowy areas for a more immersive experience, all lanterns are moved by the wind and much more.

Let's keep him preaching only on the days of rest. Extended Encounters [www. Hunters Not Bandits [www. NPC's will not use taunts or insults when fighting animals. Hunters will behave in a more realistic manner, as well as fixing some odd behavior.
Realistic Conversations [www. A Proper Thane for Winterhold [www. Cheer up and install this mod! I mean heck, we do the quest as part of the story line anyway. Nice home with everything you need including a Housecarl.
Dovahkiin Relaxes Too [www. Invoke lesser power 'Dovahkiin's Relax' by shout button, and your character will play the idle. Also, now supports multiple languages. Civil War intro scenes run only once [www. It was inspired from other good games like The Witcher which make use of notice boards in their gameplay. These notice boards can be found outside inns in every town of Skyrim. A patch for Raven Rock in Solstheim is also available.
AuraCrimson's Patches [www. Point The Way [www. Others were pointed the wrong way or had the wrong city on the sign. Arthmoor fixed all of this. Next a retexture. WiZkiD Wells with real water [www. Flagged as ESL so does not take up a load order slot. This section is entirely optional and here's why: I'm giving Solstheim it's own section for a few reasons. However, if you are a stickler about the way your game looks or simply want a consistent look across your game then this section is for you.
Of course there are options to the options so let's take a look. I usually use a few mods from the very talented Mod author Rallyeator for my Solstheim look. Earlier this year he came out with an All-in-one mod that combines his various Solstheim mods in one mod package, "Rally's Solstheim AIO". That said something to consider is the fact that this is a very large file, 1. While you're on the mod page Grab the Update Files as well.
Retexture of Nordic ruins and catacombs interior, exterior and clutter. CC's HQ Carts [www. MD's Photoreal Mines [www. Best looking mines on the net. MD's Farmhouses [www. You choose all options. A 4K retexture of the Daedric Weapons and Armor. Also available in 2K. Remiros' Scimitar HD [www. Dark Brotherhood Armor SE [www. Retexture for DB Armor. Note: Arnbjorn's Astrids husband armor is still vanilla as the mod author has not yet decided what he wants to do with his unique sleeveless armor.
Whenever you use the optional CBBE version just make sure it loads after Caliente's This means the load order for the main file and Caliente's won't matter. High resolution 4k and 2k available retexture of Thieves Guild's armors.
Improved sword model with higher polycount and better proportions as well as a custom unique scabbard. Optionals for full glove and capeless cuirass. Also choose options for weathering no cloak and full glove during install. Visual overhaul of Imperial armor and weapons.
Includes heavy, studded, light, Penitus, Tullius and General Carius with complete matching set ; all for both genders; imperial shields; sword, bow and Champion's Cudgel. CBBE in Optional files. Believable weapons [www. This is a mesh replacer for 85 of Skyrim's original axes, maces, swords and warhammers. Every Iron Weapon Redone. New Meshes. New Textures.
RULE: After the main file. Improved Dwemer Glass [www. Rally's Farming Tools [www. This mod replaces the textures of the different farming tools in game. It covers shovels, pitchforks, hoes and brooms.
CleverCharff's Photorealistic Ash Pile [www. A retexture of the ash piles with buried pieces of bone and sharper ash texture. With or without bone pieces, 1K or 2K: Your choice. Replaces the sweet rolls we all know and love with custom high poly meshes and HD textures.

Kajun's work is outstanding. Sigils of Skyrim [www. Now each new holds sigils are proudly presented on both their banners and guard shields for consistency.
Before : Rally's. SavrenX Gore [www. Enhance gore, much better. Skyrim 3D Misc [www. What I like about these models is the fact they are not perfectly symmetrical. These objects all have that handmade feel to them which looks hammered, dinged and also weathered. Let me say this in advance. WiZkiD has made this section absolutely rock the game Lighting. Some Cities in Skyrim need more visual help than others. Noble Skyrim is a great base.
Between it and SMM they cover so much of the game including some things that other mods just don't cover. Here we will give some cities much needed help with mods that cover slightly more than a simple retexture so to not change the overall feel of the game. They should but lower end PC's may struggle. This guide does NOT use parallax so using mods that depend on parallax will not work.
Texture and Meshes replacer for the city of Riften and the Ratway, its underground area. Do NOT use the Parallax version for this guide. I did not replace all the flora in Skyrim, just the ones I thought really needed help I use 2K versions for all. Sufficiently Optimized Snowberries 3D [www. Mountain flower by Mari SE [www. Mora Tapinella 4k [www. Mushroom Retextures Revamped [www. Waterplants [www. We will grab an optimized texture from Pfuscher next.
Waterplants Improved WI by Pfuscher [www. Saves half the VRAM, due to the original mod using the wrong file format Dxt5 instead of dxt1 on some files and better light on waterdrops and wet waterplants thus making raindrops appear on the waterplants when it rains. I'm as excited about this section as any in this guide. None of the mods on this page will take up a load order slot as they are all sound files - Also, most of the mod pages have a sample file for you to listen to.
In-Game they are not as loud. And if you added the High Definition Sound at the beginning of this guide all the better but for the following files you're good either way as these are all Remastered High-Definition.
Adds a nice variety to the game. Bard tracks are very short so you're still going to be hearing some singing even with this low of a chance. Fits the game seamlessly and lore wise imo. I can't play without them. It has several unique features, including:. Really useful and interesting Hub!
Now I show it to my boy too because he play Skyrim and always have troubles with the mods. I hope he will fix all the problems because when you have 10 plus mods, things become slightly complicated to handle. Thank you, I will share it! Fender Squier Serial Number Decoder.
Mod Organizer v2. What Is Mod Organizer? First, you need to launch the game before going any further. So make sure you have launched games Skyrim Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas so registries and files can take place. The second thing is the Microsoft. Most of the devices already have it, but if you do not, then it is strongly recommended to install the framework.
It keeps you from errors like Python not installed or so. Download the Mod Organizer file from there and run the exe in order to install it.
Now the setup gets on the screen with all the instructions, so you just need to follow it. Very first, click Next and then I agree, and on the next screen, it offers you the window named Choose components. Just make sure that all the boxes are checked including the start menu and Handle nexus links.
Handle nexus links allow you to use nexus mods and built-in download manager features too. This way you can make a copy of Mod organizer for the remaining games like Fallout New Vegas and Skyrim. Run the exe file and choose a different game in the directory section each time. Repeat the entire process and you are done getting mad for each game. Choosing directory is done, so just hit the install button and let it proceed and click finish.
Pros Cons It offers you a user-friendly interface. It allows several advanced features, so it takes some learning especially for the first time users.
Mod manager efficiently manages all the mods without increasing conflicts. There is a lot to experience in the mod organizer, so it is not as clean as Nexus Mod Manager. With the manager, you can create multiple profiles and use mods for different games. The installation process is quite easy and understandable.
It ensures the quality that means mod will work as it should be. It is very well-known for its innovative features and advancement. Users get the required help in a short span of time. It allows installing mods separately so users can remove them later very easily. There are very fewer chances of mod conflicts and if it occurs then organizer resolves it quickly.
It misses out several features that mod organizer offers. The built-in Download Manager works very well. Mods are very well organized, so users feel no hassle in Categorisation. Installation is very much easy that just takes a few clicks and same applies to uninstallation.
Conclusion Mod Organizer is a sophisticated and powerful tool that helps you to manage your Skyrim mods. Specifically, we will look at: Comparing Mod Organizer and Nexus Mod Manager, looking at the strengths and weaknesses of both utilities.
Installing mods for Skyrim using Mod Organizer. Fixing your mod load order using Mod Organizer for Skyrim mods. Editing your Skyrim. Creating and using profiles in Mod Organizer. Mod Organizer's Advanced Features Mod Organizer is a sophisticated and powerful piece of software that has several unique and powerful features: Mods are kept isolated. Rather than being installed all together in the game folder, instead they are installed in their own folders to allow mods to be un-installed quickly and cleanly.
Profiles can be created which allows you to have multiple configuration files so that you can experiment with settings safe in the knowledge that you have another profile with the default settings to fall back on. You can also have different mods running in different profiles. Mod Organizer can also filter saved games based on profile.
