Mod Manager

There are two viable choices for a mod manager at this time for SSE. Those are Nexus Mod Manager (NMM) and Wrye Bash (WB). Mod Organizer 2 is not included because it's not what I would consider a stable mod manager in its current state. For the completion of this guide either NMM or WB is recommended. Even though Wrye Bash has a high learning curve that many may find daunting, I will be focusing my efforts around modding with this manager. Nexus Mod Manager is simply not a good tool for advanced modding.

Mod Organizer 2

Download: Nexus
Installation

  1. Download the "Mod Organizer 2 (Standalone Version)" file from Nexus.
  2. Copy and drag the Mod Organizer 2 (Standalone Version) archive into the root SSE folder (...Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\) extract the files contents into a new folder "MO2" to the game's root directory.
Mod Organizer Setup
  1. Launch the Mod Organizer 2 exe
    Select Portable install.
    A tutorial popup will now show. I suggest you go through it if it is your first time using MO2.
