SKYRIM LE MODDING GUIDE / LIST

SKYRIM LE MOD LIST & GUIDE

** This is my Skyrim LE mod list/guide that I started last year (2019) but I got really busy with my life so I had to leave blog and youtube for a while. Now I have come back but I switched to SE. Not sure if I will come back to LE yet.

So this is what I was working on and I decided to just release it. It is not complete and I am not planning to update any time soon... but I hope you find some of them helpful!

BEFORE WE START

- I will consistently update this guide (currently I'm listing my mods first and update slowly)

- This modding guide is for SKYRIM Legendary Edition (Oldrim), not for Special Edition.

- I highly recommend you to use MOD ORGANIZER

- Install mods in order but the load order can be different. 

- Always read description when installing mods..

- Subscribe to my youtube Channel: https://bit.ly/2HfcPFG

BASIC SETUP

1) Download and install MOD ORGANIZER 2(MO2)

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/1334

2) Download and extract files to Skyrim directory

http://skse.silverlock.org/

3) Register skse_loader from MO2 and always run the game using MO2

4) SKSE Memory Patch

- Open SKSE.ini file under My Document > My Games > Skyrim > SKSE 

- If it doesn't exist, you can create one.

- add following

---------------------------------------

[Memory]

DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=1024

ScrapHeapSizeMB=256

---------------------------------------

* you can use 768 or 1280 instead of 1024.

* you can use 512 instead of 256.

* If you are not using steam, modify SKSE in mod organizer and add  

"-forcesteamloader" in argumets section.

- If you are successful with memory patch, open "skse_steam_loader.log" file in SKSE folder and you will see the following.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

default heap = 1024MB (effective 768MB if not preloading animations)

scrap heap = 256MB

---------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are doing Memory Patch then DON'T USE IT WITH 'CRASH FIX'

ENB SETUP

The core of the graphic. This dramatically changes the look of your Skyrim. I personally use Rudy ENB and following mods are installed based on Rudy ENB. If you are using other ENB then you don't have to follow. 

NLVA - Natural Lighting Vivid Atmospherics

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/75346

ENB base file

http://enbdev.com/download_mod_tesskyrim.html

- Download the file

- Copy 'd3d9.dll' and 'enbhost.exe' from the wrapper folder to skyrim folder.

RUDY ENB

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/41482

True Storm

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/63478

Lighting during thunder storms

rain splash, rainbow, and shooting star

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/64941

Wonder of weather- shooting star, rainbow, water splash

 

Base - Physics and Skeleton

After installing ENB and required mods I move on the modding for the character. It is more important and difficult. In the load order, retexture mods comes first but I install these mods first to see everything works fine because you can always add more mods for textures. Just imagine you install all mods for the texture and mess up with the character & physics, you have to start from the beginning. Trust me, I've done it.
