First, players should back up their version of Skyrim just in case something goes wrong. There are a words of advice that players should keep in mind before installing Nexus mods at random. The upside is that every mod on Nexus should come with instructions on exactly how to download and install the mod in Skyrim. PC with Nexus Mods: Not all mods are available on Steam Workshop, but downloading mods from Nexus takes a little bit of extra work. This automatically makes the mod available in the game with no hassle at all. All players have to do is go to the Steam Workshop page for the mod they want and then download it. PC with Steam Workshop: Using the Steam Workshop for installing PC mods is almost as simple as console. Modding with the console is extremely easy and streamlined, but players won't have as many options as they would if they were on PC. This allows them to pick from a large list of different options and immediately download them straight into the game.
Some of the mods are officially supported by Bethesda whereas others can only be obtained by using some clever workarounds.Ĭonsoles: Players who are playing the special edition of Skyrim on the consoles will be able to download and use mods straight from the main menu. Depending on what platform and version of Skyrim that players are using their method for downloading and using mods will change considerably.
