For those who are new to Skyrim mod, here are the simple way to use mod on your Skyrim PC game.
Before we start, please see my other post on what to do before you use Skyrim mod on your PC.
Stuff To Do Before Using Mod On Skyrim PC - See It Here
Okay, now let's go with the steps.
1. Get NMM (Nexus Mod Manager)
- Skip this steps if you already have it. If you don't, Get It Here.
2. Enable DATA FILE option in Skyrim launcher.
- Skip this step if it already enable (or you can click on the DATA FILE). If not, you can look at my guide on how to enable it. See It Here.
3. Go to Skyrim Nexus website, click on FILES menu button, then choose whatever mod you wish to use.
- If you are confuse about the terms they use on describing their mod, you can see my other post on Skyrim Mod Definiton. See It Here.
4. At the mod page that you choose, click on the FILES menu (beside the DESC) and click on DOWNLOAD WITH MANAGER button.
- NMM will automatically open and download the mod.
5. When the download finish, just double click on the mod in NMM to activate it.
- To deactivate the mod, just double click on the mod again.
NOTES & TIPS:-
- Some mod have a Main File. You need to install this first before installing the real mod.
- Some mod require other mod to work. Usually the modder put a link on where to get it. If the link is dead, go to the POST section and see if they put alternate link to it. If it still not there, ask nicely from the modder or other user.
- Some mod will not work with NMM. This is because the mod were made just for manual install. Manual install usually just Copy/Cut & Paste method. Remember to backup any files that the new mod will replace.
- Some mod will temper your save files. Always make a backup everytime you're installing the mod that will temper the save files.
- Some mod require a very annoying way to deactivate/uninstall it. Read the descriptions on the main mod page or the download page for the instructions.
- Always read the description, then the post section to see if the mod is really okay to use. Some mod might seem good but it have a really bad bug in it.
- Best way to download mod is by using the Manually Download, then Import it using NMM.
- If you have extra cash, get the premium membership where you can get around 5mbps (500kB) download speed. Normal free download speed is around 1mbps (100kB) speed. The lowest membership is 30 days membership which is EUR2.00 + download manager support & you can continue your stopped download.
Good Luck & Have Fun~~~\(^_^)/
