Skyrim SE How to Manually Install Mods PC 2020 - ( Skyrim Special Edition )

Why do we make a "Mods" folder, if we won't be putting anything in it?

How do I install plugins

Maybe no one will see this, but I don’t know what I’m doing wrong cause I did exactly what was needed in this video and the mods will not show up in my game itself.

Now mind you ,I’m using a pirated version of Skyrim which shouldn’t matter. But I’m just curious if there’s something I’m missing?

I’ve done multiple mods and it seems to me that none of them are working

Something must be wrong with my computer cause I’ve always downloaded mods manually for Skyrim and for whatever reason it just doesn’t work now. Did what I normally do. Nothing. Did what another video said. Nothing. Did what you said. Nothing. My computer is a dumb ass hoe

Yeah.. I tried to figure it out myself and put the mods in the mod folder😂 oops

can i put folders in the data tabe before putting the mods into it to sort my mods. (sorry if confusing)

does it work if i downloaded it from xbox too?

Ok but what about esp files I come from there last 2 games so is it like them?

Why is data files not showing up on my launcher for special edition

seriously, into the data folder. what's the point of the mod folder then lol.

Thanks so much for this, I never in a million years would've figured this out myself.

I am trying alternative start and unofficial Skyrim patch and the game does not show it in the gameplay

fun fact: you can now use the XBOX versions folder to install these mods aswell

I don't know what I'm doing wrong... I only downloaded a character preset for Breton and the mods are not working... I did everything this video said and for the Special Edition... but nope lol... guess modding isn't for me how sad

How do I manually download and install mods to Skyrim SE steam on PC? I downloaded Skyland AIO, have all the files (01_Granite Mountains, 130_Skyland Night Skies, etc.) each with their respective meshes and textures sub folders. The thing is steam's Skyrim SE primary "data" folder doesn't have any mesh or texture folder where I can drag and drop into. Do I drag and drop 01_Granite Mountains or its texture/mesh sub folders into the Skyrim SE data folder? If I copy and paste like this for each one every mesh/texture folder will overwrite??

I did everything right and it didnt work

i did this and it didnt work. i notice you 00-core and have other things like that in the data sectio I dont?

That’s exactly where I put my mod and it wasn’t working when I played my game !!! So do you need the game from Steam ??

Idk but somehow it still doesn't work. The guide deffently brought me a step closer.

this is a lifesaver-vortex was misbehaving and wouldn't update its mod location, so this was a huge help, even a few years later!

Somehow it doesn’t work for me lol I did exactly what it did but no luck is it because I don’t have wip pit

2023 → doesn't work. In first Skyrim we needed to activate them in a dialog which doesn't exist anymore. In Special Edition I found that we need to manually create the file which was previously automated (plugins.txt in appdata skyrim subfolder) with a slightly different syntax (add "*" before mod's name)

should i backup my data folder in the event i mess up something in there? then i could just paste back the right files?

Thanks dude👍

like i did, but the mods doesnt work. In Menü und in Launcher is no optin to activate this mods.

I'm trying to download SKSE for SE, but its downloading as a text file, am I doing something wrong?

Installed a single mod and the game wont open now

What if you’ve got the AE version?

@EpiczPG I'm not sure if it's a completely different process or not, but are you able to use this method for Skyrim (SE) PC through the Xbox game pass app instead of steam?

Crushed it like a Boss Rockstarrrrrrrrrr! You may now choose your color super hero cape and manually install it!! Thaaank Youuu! (bows then claps loudly)

Instant like and sub, a mod guide that recs winrar not 7zip

i dont fucking get it nothing will copy ffs

Is better to go into Nexus Mods and get VORTEX program...
Config game location and mod location and make sure both are located on the same drive, ton of space will be required base on the amount of mods you wanna install...
Drag 7zip in a good order always atempting to install base mods first, like RaceMenu, Skeleton, FaceModels Engines, Textures, etc..
Launch Game from Vortex itself and if you have issues with space or compatibility uninstall that specific mod.
Star a fresh game to avoid issues and pray you don't miss any mod once you started your adventure or issues might happen later if the mods is complex enough.
Note: Some mods use the old Skyrim version and some the Special Version, I recommend downloading mods base on their release date (get new ones) and use latest Skyrim Version.

Easy 😴

I followed all your steps and for some odd reason none of the mods seems to work after installing. Although what's funny is that it worked before in the past so I have no clue what is wrong.

Thanks, even years later you're still helping people lol

nice wallpaper

I followed this tutorial step by step and now it broke idk why and i can't install any mods anymore does anyone know what I can do

I don't know why but It's saying Couldn't find skyrim SE. EXE. Any advice?

so if i lunch the game with with SKSE loader does this still work?

Hi. So no need to install mod manager?

i watched like 5 other tutorials and they were all either 7 years old 7 years long or didnt show you how to download anything you helped me out so much

i cant understand anything

i love the immersive wenches mod you got in there

for fucks sake bro, you didnt mention whether or not we have to compress/and or decompress the file with winrar. pay the fuck attention

but how do you install it without steam

I downloaded some mods and for some reason my character and the npcs are in a t pose....

im so confused, everybody is saying stuff like "this is a great video" so I have no idea why nothing is working

Cheers dude, very helpful have a good day peace
