Pre Guide Work
There are a few things that need to be completed before starting this guide. Most of these things should already be completed, but if they are not, please do so.
Game Setup
If it is not, Steam should be installed to a location not affected by User Account Control (UAC). This is typically a place outside of C:\Program Files\
or C:\Program Files (x86)\
. A separate hard drive, preferably a SSD, is recommended. If a separate drive is not available, a separate partition on a single hard drive is the second best option. If neither options are available, using the root of the system drive is recommended: C:\Steam\
. If Steam is already installed to a UAC controlled area, users can move the program installation by following the instructions here: How do I move my existing Steam Installation?.
Once the game is installed, users will need to complete an initial setup:
- Launch Skyrim Special Edition from within Steam
- Accept any default settings and click [Play] to launch the game
- Once at the main menu, exit the game to desktop.
- The game files have now been initialized and the game is ready for modding.
Game Cleanup
This section only needs to be completed by users who have already had the game installed and modded prior to installing this guide.
Users upgrading from v1 of the guide or users who have previously modded Skyrim SE with NMM or WB, will need to ensure they revert their installation back to a vanilla state. The easiest way to accomplish this is to simply delete all the files/folders in the Skyrim root directory, and then re-verify the files using Steam. This will re-download the latest version of the game files in their vanilla states. This method is my suggestion for most users and is what I, personally, did as well. Advanced users can pick and choose which files to remove to ensure they're back to a vanilla install state. In either case, the Data folder should be in a 100% vanilla state before continuing this guide. This is due to MO's use of a virtual file system which keeps the game's Data folder pristine during modding.
Manager Installation
Mod Organizer 2 (MO2) is now the recommended mod manager for this guide. Mod Organizer has proven its versatility as a mod manager through countless hours of modding Skyrim LE, and has earned my respect as the optimal manager to be used by newbies and veterans alike. I am very happy to be using it again for Skyrim SE and this guide.
Mod Organizer 2
Download
Users should download the latest stable version from Nexus. This should at least be version 2.1.1 or higher.
- Download the Installer Version main file: Nexus
Installation
Next we need to set up the installation folder. Below is how I, personally, set up my installation. Users are free to change their paths and folder names.
- Navigate to the root Skyrim SE folder (
..\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\
) - Create a new folder for the MO2 files.
- I named mine Mod Organizer 2:
..\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Mod Organizer 2\
- I named mine Mod Organizer 2:
- Navigate to the file downloaded above and run it.
- Leave the defaults besides:
- On the Choose Components page users can opt to have MO2 handle NXM links or not. I opted yes.
- On the Choose Components page users should install a Startmenu Shortcut for easy uninstalling later when upgrading.
- On the Choose Install Location page, browse to the folder created in step 2:
..\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Mod Organizer 2\
- Install the program.
- Opt to [Run Mod Organizer 2.X.X] and click [Finish]
MO2 Setup
- MO2 should have launched from the installation above. If not, launch it for the first time now.
- Upon launch, users will have a choose between setting it up as portable or create a new instance. Choose to create a new instance.
- Select [SkyrimSE] and choose [OK].
- A prompt will appear informing you about the option of changing the location of data stored. Read it and click past it.
- The installer should automatically detect the Skyrim SE installation (
...Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\
). Select it. If it didn't, browse to it's root folder.- Another prompt will appear for first time installers asking to run the tutorial or not. First time MO users should run it. Experienced MO users can skip it.
- MO2 is now set up and ready to use.
Category Markers
Category Markers are separators in the mod pane (left pane) to help users visualize the separate categories. Though it is not necessary, I recommend users setting up a new marker for each mod section below. To do this:
- Double-click on the Overwrite folder at the bottom of the mod list in the left pane.
- In the pane of the new window, right-click and choose [New Folder].
- Rename the folder to Docs and close the window.
- Right-click on the Overwrite folder and choose [Create Mod...].
- Enter the category name in the box and choose [OK].
Utilities
Since some utilities are now able to be used across multiple games, I have started organizing them on my personal system within a centralized location instead of within the game's folder. Users are not required to use my organization and may organize the utilities whichever way works best for them individually. Many of these utilities will already be installed on on the system due to their use for other games. If any of them are already installed, there is no reason to re-install them for this guide unless users wish to use a single copy of the software for each game. I find this a waste of space and unnecessary so the instructions below will instruct installation for how I install the utilities. Again, users may install these utilities however they wish.
Utilities Folder Setup
First a centralized folder will be needed to install the utilities to:
- Choose a location outside of UAC control and outside of the game's folder for the new folder and open that location up in an Explorer window.
- I have chosen:
D:\Modding\
- I have chosen:
- Click [New folder] on the menu bar of the window.
- Name the folder and hit [Enter] to accept it.
- I have chosen Programs for my name because it is descriptive of what is housed within.
- (optional) It is recommended to create a shortcut to this folder location for ease of access to these utilities.
- Open the new folder and keep the window open for the utilities installations.
Utilities Installation
Creation Kit
The Creation Kit (CK) is required for mod conversion and will be used within this guide for this purpose. To obtain the CK:
- Download and install Bethesda.net Launcher.
- Run the Launcher and sign in (create an account if you don't have one).
- Users should see the grey "Creation" icon on the left. Click on it and install.
- Users should now launch the CK, choose no to extracting the scripts, and close the program.
There are a few edits to the INI file that need to be made before users can use the CK to port mods.

Installation
- Download the main file from Nexus
- Run the executable.
- Uncheck the boxes for [Install for Skyrim].
- Ensure the path for the Skyrim SE installation is correct.
- Click [Next] and [Install].
- Do not run WB yet. Simply close the installer.
Utility Setup - Mod Organizer
Since Mod Organizer works with a virtual file system (VFS), the utilities much be set up to be ran through MO; else the utilities will not be able to see mod files. I will show users the basics of how to do this below. Furthermore, MO may have automatically detected some installed utilities such as LOOT. Please ensure these auto-detected utilities are set up correctly.
- Click the gears icon.
- In the Binary box, browse to the location of your installed utility, select the utility's executable, and choose [Open].
- For this example, I will use SSEEdit and mine is located here:
D:\Modding\Programs\SSEEdit\SSEEdit.exe
- For this example, I will use SSEEdit and mine is located here:
- In the Title box name the utility.
- I chose SSEEdit.
- In the Arguments box, add in arguments you may wish to pass to the utility at run.
- I have added the -IKnowWhatImDoing argument for SSEEdit which turns off the warning prompt.
- Check the Use Application's Icon for shortcuts box and click [Add].
- Repeat steps 2 through 5 to add the necessary utilities to MO. Users should add at least the following:
- Creation Kit
- DynDOLOD
- Add argument: -sse
- DynDOLOD TexGen
- Add argument: -sse
- LOOT
- SSEEdit
- Wrye Bash
DLC Maintenance
Mod Organizer allows us to easily manage the DLC. By placing the cleaned DLCs into their own mod installations within MO, we can maintain cleaned DLC files during a Creation Club update without the need to re-clean them. The process is the same for all files, therefore, I will lay out instructions for one file and users and rinse and repeat for the rest.
Cleaning with SSEEdit
- Select SSEEdit from the executable drop-down in MO and click the [Run] button.
- Only select Update.esm and click [Ok].
- Once loaded, right-click on the last plugin in the left pane and choose [Apply Filter for Cleaning].
- Once applied, right-click on Update.esm and select {{ui|Remove "Identical to Master" records.
- Once finished, right-click on Update.esm again and select [Undelete and Disable References].
- Close SSEEdit.
- At the prompt, ensure Update.esm is checked and select [OK].
Adding the cleaned file
- MO should now be the main window after closing SSEEdit above.
- Right-click on the Overwrite folder and select [Create mod...].
- Name it Update.esm - Cleaned.
- Click and drag the new mod listing to the top of the list.
- Activate the mod by checking the box next to the listing.
Converting Old Plugins
Throughout the guide, there are a few naughty plugins which are still using the old Form format for classic Skyrim. These plugins must be properly converted in the CK for Skyrim SE. Even though some of these mods are SE mods, this can sometimes result from creating plugins in xEdit and never running them through the CK. We will handle these issues now so that our patching, at the end of the guide, comes out clean.
Mods are tagged throughout the guide which require conversion. The instructions for converting these plugins are found below. Users can refer back to them as needed when running across the tag, or return here before starting the patching. There will be a warning to remind users to complete this step. The tag looks like so:
The following plugins must be converted:
- Chesko_LoreBasedLoadingScreens.esp
- IcePenguinWorldMap.esp
- SkyrimImprovedPuddles-DG-HF-DB.esp
- Resaving a plugin in the CK
- Converting plugins is the simple part of the process. The basis of how this is down is below. I will provide more specifics for plugins where necessary.
- Ensure the Overwrite folder is empty.
- Run the CK from the executable drop-down menu.
- Select the File menu and choose [Data...].
- Find the plugin to be converted, and select [Set as Active File].
- Note the Parent Masters listed and ensure they are checked (double-click the plugin listing to check it).
- Click [OK] and allow the CK to load.
- Once complete, save the plug (icon on toolbar or File > Save).
- Close the CK and allow it to sit for a moment.
- More often than not, the CK will hang when closing. Click the close button a few times and Windows will allow you to force close it.
- The newly saved plugin will be located in the Overwrite folder in MO. Double-click the Overwrite folder to open it.
- Drag and drop the new plugin into the mod listing which it belongs to and close the Overwrite window.
- Verifying the plugin with xEdit
- The more terrifying part of converting plugins for most users will be giving it a checkup using SSEEdit (xEdit). This process is only daunting for users who are newbies to xEdit, itself. Once users learn xEdit a bit they start to realize it's a fairly easy to use program, which just so happens to grant the user a lot of power.
- Run SSEEdit from the executable drop-down menu.
- Right-click in the plugin pane and choose [Select None].
- Double-click on the new plug saved from the steps above and allow xEdit to load until the log says, "Background Loader: finished".
- Right-click on the last plugin in the left pane (it should be the new plugin), and select [Check for Errors].
- The check should come back clean reading, "All done!". If there are errors, the user will have to take steps to correct them before continuing to the next step.
- Right-click on the plugin again and choose, [Sort Masters].
- The last step is to clean the plugin as we did for the DLCs above.
- Close xEdit and be sure the plugin is checked in the saving prompt.
Lore Based Loading Screen
- This is a simple resave in the CK. No need to check in xEdit.
A Quality World Map
- This is a simple resave in the CK. No need to check in xEdit.
Skyrim Improved Puddles
- This is a simple resave in the CK. No need to check in xEdit.
Mod Categories

I will not be explaining everything in detail so reference the Mod Organizer Guide as needed. Mods should also be installed and placed under the newly created markers, in the order which they are listed below. I will go into detail on how to install specific mods which are out of the normal realm for installation with MO.

Skyrim Realistic Overhaul
Download: Mod DB
- Description
- Skyrim Realistic Overhaul overhauls a ton of the textures in the game while keeping the vanilla style.
- General Note
- SRO has some very large textures including a lot of 4K and 2K. Users with limited VRAM and GPU power may wish to consider constraining the sizes using DDSopt. I will not be doing so for this guide.

Dragon Bridge
Download: Dragon Bridge
- Description
- Dragon Bridge always seemed like it needed something more, and it did. There was always poor Varnius Junius, who gets sent to Solitude representing the town and everything, but had nowhere to live. Plus his boss, Tasius Tragus, who was never placed into the game, but would also have just lived in the inn. The inn is not a home! Varnius and Tasius now have their own homes on the northeast side of the village, like everyone else in town. It's not much, but there just isn't enough space in the place for anything more. Tasius even has a nice terrace with a view to reflect his presumed status in town.

Helarchen Creek
Download: Helarchen Creek
- Description
- Tamriel has had many villages on maps for as far back as anyone can remember. What happened to them all? Nobody really knows. This mod is simply my take on bringing one back from Elder Scrolls: Arena. Helarchen Creek was a small village in the game somewhere in the mountains near Dawnstar. Originally it appears as though Bethesda planned to put this around the Nightgate Inn, but then changed the name on that and cut the content. Some further research using old Arena maps placed the village further north anyway, so here it is.

Ivarstead
Download: Ivarstead
- Description
- Ivarstead always seemed like it should be more to me. There are a number of people living in the inn on a permanent basis. While the game indicates it is a village in decline due to fewer and fewer visitors coming through, it's very clear that those who are in the inn now are permanent residents to the village who have fairly strong ties they can't just cut. Since it would have been lame to throw down a bunch of empty or destroyed properties, it felt only right that 3 new houses should be built for those residents to occupy.
Installation
- Download the specified file, than install the mod.
Karthwasten
Download: Karthwasten
- Description
- Karthwasten is supposed to be a bustling mining town with two actively worked mines, yet only has a couple of buildings and too many NPCs to match. Plus it's a known lore town that's been here for at least 200 years. So this place needed a bit of an expansion to flesh it out and make it seem more like the "Karthwasten Hall" of old, in as much as Skyrim will allow for that. No more pitifully small center of mining for The Reach!

- Keld-Nar is a village in Eastmarch, near the Dwemer ruin of Mzulft.
Installation
- Download the Specified file, than install the mod.
Kynesgrove
Download: Kynesgrove
- Description
- It has always bothered me to some extent that Kynesgrove gets major attention during the main quest, even with its own guard contingent, yet is nothing more than one inn and a few people in a small camp. Given that it's supposed to be an actual village, it felt like these people needed to at least have proper homes even if they are poor. So this mod aims to correct this problem by providing houses for Ganna & Gemma Uriel, and Roggi Knot-Beard while also adding a new blacksmith to round things out for the village. Now, even though they all still work the mines, they have homes to return to at night.
Installation

Provincial Courier Service
Download: Provincial Courier Service
- Description
- Skyrim's courier is an industrious young lad who can be seen all over the province, yet doesn't seem to have anywhere to live and/or work. He seems able to find you at will, but what if you wanted to find HIM? Even if it would be a meaningless encounter, one should still expect a living breathing NPC that takes part in the world to have some place to work at and call home. No longer will the poor courier simply be dragged from his mystery cell and dropped in front of you to make his deliveries. Thus is born the Provincial Courier Service. This mod is a simple immersion/realism mod that provides a small shack outside of Whiterun along the main road, next to Honningbrew Meadery.

Shor's Stone
Download: Shor's Stone
- Description
- Shor's Stone always seemed like a place that had more potential than what was in the game, and as it turns out, that's because it does. NPCs talk about Odfel's wrecked house and the need to build a new one, but the wreckage doesn't exist. Grelka has some scenes with the other NPCs that can never play because she never comes to the town, and may well have originally been planned for there. Plus the place always seemed a bit empty, in need of somewhere for the folks to gather at night other than just the fireplace in front of Sylgja's house. Now, all of these things have been taken care of. Shor's Stone is no longer a backwater half-village.

Soljund's Sinkhole
Download: Soljund's Sinkhole
- Description
- Soljund's Sinkhole is another one of those places where it just seemed odd that more was not done. A mining operation that by all accounts would be thriving were it not for a draugr problem. An area that 3 people are effectively living in, with only two actually being housed, and one of whom is a marriage prospect for the player! Such cramped conditions cannot stand, and so this small expansion has been done to relieve the crowding problem.
Installation
- Download the specified file, than install the mod.
Whistling Mine
Download: Whistling Mine
- Description
- It always seemed odd to me that an established mine with an active smelter had no place for the people there to live. Whistling Mine is cold, and inhospitable. Nobody in their right mind would actually sleep there! This mod solves that oddity by providing a small village for the 4 NPCs to live in and spend some time in. Cause who wants to spend their lives living in the mine they work in! It was also somewhat strange that Winterhold Hold had nothing but a single half ruined town in it.
