About this mod
A tutorial on how to mod your Skyrim with NMM in unobtrusive ways that make sense. How Skyrim should have shipped.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Donations
This is my personal version of an "unofficial patch", this is how I believe Skyrim should have shipped in the first place. I started on it before I found out about STEP, and still find it easier to use, so I continued with it.
If you like a modded game which stays immersive and lore-friendly, but don't want to pore over thousands of mods to figure out how to combine them, this is for you. For example, our magic mods do not add a ton of new spells, they only fix and balance existing spells.
I actually made this tutorial for myself in case I ever need to reinstall, which came in handy when NMM updated and required all mods to be reinstalled.
You should definitely start this process with a brand new save file, especially if you have any mods already installed. A fresh install with all old files deleted might benefit you if you were suffering from crashes, installed some things manually and don't remember what they were, or have any similar problems.
There are 3 separate .txt files within the .rar:
1. Skyrim Mods - The main overview of the process of editing your .inis, cleaning the game's Masters with TES5Edit, downloading your mods with NMM, and sorting them with LOOT + some manual work.
2. MCM - A guide on what MCM settings to use once you start up the game. This can be just as long of a process without knowing what you're doing. If I didn't mention something then you can leave it alone.
3. Skyrim Alchemy - My somewhat unrelated personal notes on good potions to make. I chose ingredients which "made sense" in addition to a powerful effect. So you will be using poisonous mushrooms and Deathbell on your poison instead of just dragonflies etc. Useful to know what to look out for - you won't have to fill your bags with Mora Tapinella in case you will need it later. And your character will feel like he knows what he's doing!
Thank you so much to all of the amazing mod authors that made the mods in this tutorial, TES5Edit, LOOT, and of course NMM.
