Either use the first 4 (1-4) and have a stable game with less bugs while still being able to earn achievements (while learning to mod). IF you are new to modding or have had trouble in the past you can simply use the numbered mods and nothing else.

Like I said, it's not complicated unless we make it so. New, relatively new, experienced, there is a load order here for all. I include step by step notes along the way. So use the entire list or pick a few sections to add to the first 58 mods. Includes the first 58 + optional mods (also can pick & choose) Note: by design if you carefully follow this guide you can enjoy the complete list.

*Looking for the Anniversary 1.6.353 Load order Guide? Look Hereītw, all mods that I normally use with the exception of Net Script Framework (which I can live without it) have been updated for 1.6.353 but if you feel you need a crash log the mod "Crash Logger" works fine. Because SKSE can't be used with Game Pass you can't use those mods so if you're a Game Pass owner and you see a few mods you like just make sure they do not require SKSE64 otherwise this guide unfortunately can not support Game Pass.

The giving back is part of my journey with the community. 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. I am grateful for having such a great base using this guide which is constantly growing. I'll give fair warning before I move it and of course link the new url as it will be a seamless transition.įor info on downgrading see the **"How to Rollback to 1.5.97"** section of this guide This guide will then be updated for 1.6.353 but the current mod list will be moved to a new url so it's always available for 1.5.97 users. The guide will also include a few of the great brand new mods that recently came out which I'm currently testing.

I will update this guide for SE AE sometime in March April 2022 now that practically all the relevant mods have updated. I do have a separate guide with a smaller (170 mods) modlist for 1.6.353 (AE) found here however. This guide is of course for Skyrim 1.5.97 and is not yet compatible with the 1.6 Anniversary update.
