I've gotten that issue in a few places too, but not in recent playthroughs. Alas, I've changed so much between playthroughs that I'm not totally certain how or if I fixed it.

The only INI file editing you should be doing is the stuff that's required for ENB, the one tweak to fix arrows, and if you want, the one tweak that lets you display your favorited weapons all at once on your character. Any graphical tweaks can be done by dropping the Steam Skyrim Launcher into MO's executable menu and running it through there.

Should you make an unwanted tweak that fucks up your game, you can always go into Mod Organizer -> Profiles -> Profile Name through Windows Explorer and delete the INI files, and run the Steam Launcher through MO again, giving you a fresh set of files.

haha I read all the recommendations to add mods slowly and test everything as you go and was like and ended up installing like 150 mods simultaneously. I have no idea what I'm doing, just memorized some directions from this thread about how to do bashed and merged patches and otherwise let LOOT and MO sort that poo poo out.

So does a bashed and/or merged patch needed if you only have a handful of mods? If so, I assume you should update it as you add more mods? I'm trying to figure out how necessary it is to do this step, especially if I'm running LOOT and show no conflicts in MO.

I'm gonna go against the grain here and say no, not really. I have had all those installed for the last couple of playthroughs and they mostly add either new locations or somewhat tedious quests. Specially the giant quest is just a waste of time with with some normal armor rewards and a bossfight against a giant that has like 20k-60k health or something absurd.

Some of them are good tho, i really enjoyed "Sorcery" for its great leveldesign, but it has some tedious searching for questitems and atrocious voiceacting. The Pit Fighter mod is also really cool if you missed the Oblivion arena.

Sea of Ghosts is pretty uninspired where nothing really happens and it takes up prime modding real estate in the Solitude docks (a fair few mods like to add a ship here).

All the new locations look pretty good, but ultimately feels like a waste of a modinstall to me since most of the time absolutely nothing happens in these new locations and there is nothing to do.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a player home in Falkreath with a fair amount of shelves and such for displaying weapons/armors/priest masks/trinkets? I've been using Haven Bag forever and it's great, but I wanna decorate.

There any good mods out there for removing the sparkly glow that covers you when your wearing enchanted gear or have a buff going?

I've used both, and I definitely prefer SkyRe.

SPERG works well as just a perk rebalancer, and is a definite improvement over basic skyrim. However, I find SkyRe's perks more interesting. In terms of changing how you play the game, things like the conjuration zombie maker, the racial powers overhaul, the archery options, the crafting extensions, blood magic and staff specialisation in alteration, and the unique weapon effects for every kind of weapon in the game, including the many, many new kinds added by SkyRe... Well, I just can't really go back to anything else. The abundance of perks means that you really need to focus and play a class which makes every character feel distinctly different. You can't master everything at once and you subsequently need to find different ways around problems, using magic if you're a mage rather than breaking out your gear and beating people over the head with it, using stealth as a rogue not because it's hideously OP but because you're actually not very good in a fight otherwise, that sort of thing. It also adds a bunch of really cool spells, I mean, a basic spell is a spell that causes people to explode into spiders when they die, and it's contagious.

That and being able to go magic super saiyan as a breton or turning khajiits into sonic the hedgecat just makes it so much fun for me.

The combat overhaul also makes it so that you win more by being good at it than by having super powerful gear, the gear helps, but if you can timed block and hit back at the right times, you'll go a lot further, and there's even perks to make that even better if you use longswords/bastard swords.

The first thing you should do is throw Nexus Mod Manager into your Recycle Bin and download Mod Organizer. Here are Gopher's vids on how to use every corner of it and here's a text guide that won't take several hours to watch. Gopher's channel is a great go to for almost anything Skyrim modding, though. Mod Organizer not only does everything Nexus Mod Manager does and better. Including utilizing the "Downlowad With Manager" button on Nexus itself! Mod Organizer also has load order sorting integrated through the next iteration of BOSS called LOOT.

The mods you have listed there are a good start. Once you've got that list of things you've got your eye on downloaded, installed, and working together nicely with no crashes you'll be ready to venture into the OP and wade through the massive list of mods there. Recommendations are going to vary wildly as people like different things but personally I really like Frostfall along with Wet & Cold, Morrowloot 4E Edition, Apocalypse Spell Package, Dragon Soul Relinquishment, Thunderchild, Immersive Patrols, and Run For Your Lives/When Vampires Attack.

There's also Skyrim Redone, which is a big overhaul mod that, for my taste, makes no changes to the game I disagree with. It's really impressive. I'll let the poster whose post convinced me to try it out explain further:

Thanks for this - I will definitely get rid of the Nexus Mod manager now. If I get rid of it though, what will happen to the mods I've already installed? Will they remain 'in the system' so to speak? Will I have to delete each mod manually in the NMM before uninstalling it?

And cheers for the options - I will definitely look into them once Mod Organizers running. Another quick question though - I've noticed my game is extremely choppy/laggy even when looking around (compared to consoles it's like night and day, smooth on consoles, stuttering on PC) Is there anything I can do to tweak the fps or something along those lines?

Thanks for all the help.

You won't be able to import NMM into MO (I believe anyway) so I would leave it open find the mods you already installed and reinstall/download then with MO. Then you can uninstall NMM.

I'm playing through on my first trip around Skyrim and I'm having a blast with the Skyrim 2k HD mods and a few others, but one thing that bugs me is the incredibly vague quest setup. I saw 'Better Quest Objectives' on NexusMod but it doesn't appear to be compatible with Steam's 'Skyrim Legendary Edition' - it has two options, one wiht Dawnguard and one without, and both cause my game to crash on load. Any ideas?

You can actually import mods you installed with the nexus mod manager. It's under one of the drop down bars in the top left.
