This is a guide to installing mods for Skyrim SE/AE.
It covers the base setup and installation of prerequisite mods.
From complex physics mods to body shape mods, this guide covers everything you need to build a complete Skyrim setup.
This explanation is quite long, but I hope this video will be helpful for those starting out in Skyrim.
Links to the mods used in the video are provided below.
For mods where direct links might be problematic or where explanations are needed, links are routed through a database.
