The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a fantastic game right out of the box, but the reason so many people still play it so many years after its initial release is the massive modding community. Skyrim mods can do almost anything, from drastically improving the graphics, to creating new quests and non-player characters (NPCs), to something as simple as making the maps more attractive.
ModdingSkyrim and Skyrim: Special Edition isn't too difficult, but it can be a somewhat confusing process. Since there are two different versions of the game, and Skyrim is available on so many platforms, there are multiple different ways to find and install Skyrim mods.
What Version of Skyrim Do You Have?
![How To Install Skyrim Mods On Ps3 How To Install Skyrim Mods On Ps3](/uploads/1/2/3/7/123717426/500282373.jpg)
There are two versions of Skyrim, and the game is also available on a number of different platforms. Both versions can be modded, but the only platforms that are compatible with mods are PS4, Xbox One, Windows PC, and Steam.
The version of the game, and the platform you are using, will affect the process you need to go through if you want to mod your game.
Here are the main sources of mods for Skyrim and the platforms that you can use with them:
- Nexus Mods: Windows, Steam
- Steam Workshop: Steam
Here are the three main sources of mods for Skyrim: Special Edition and the platforms that you can use with them:
- Bethesda: Windows, Steam, PS4, Xbox One
- Nexus Mods: Windows, Steam
- Steam Workshop: Steam
Mods are not compatible with the PS3, Xbox 360, or Nintendo Switch versions of Skyrim.
How to Install Skyrim: Special Edition Mods for PC, PS4, and Xbox One
Skyrim: Special Edition is a version of Skyrim that is available for PC and consoles, and it is designed to make the modding process very easy. In fact, Bethesda actually hosts a huge variety of mods on their own site, and you don't need to download any additional software to use them.
The first part of this process is to create an account on Bethesda.net and locate some mods that you are interested in. Here are the steps that you need to take:
- Navigate to Bethesda.net.
- Create an account, and log in.
- Navigate to the Bethesda.net Skyrim mods page.
- Click on any mod that you want to install.
- Click Add to library.
Once you have found some Skyrim: Special Edition mods that you want to install, the rest of the process takes place in the game. You will need to tie your accounts together, choose some of the mods you found, and install them.
The next step in modding Skyrim: Special Edition is to connect your Xbox Live, PlayStation Network (PSN), or Steam account to your Bethesda.net account and install your mods:
- Launch Skyrim: Special Edition on your Xbox One, PlayStation 4, or Steam.
- Select Mods.
- Enter the email address you used when you created your Bethesda.net account, and select Create Account or press Enter.You need to select Create Account even though you already have an account. As long as you enter the same email you used to set up your Bethesda.net account, you will then get the option to log in.
- Enter your Bethesda.net username and password, and select Accept or hit Enter.
- Select a mod that you want to install.
- Select Download, and wait for the mod to download.
- Select Back or press Escape to return to the main mods screen.
- Repeat steps 5-7 for any additional mods.
- Select Back or press Escape, and the mods will load.
Some mods do not work well with other mods. If your game does not operate normally, try adjusting the load order by selecting Load Order from the main mods screen. If that doesn't work, you may need to disable one or more mods by clicking on the mod and then clicking on Disable.
Understanding Skyrim: Special Edition Mod Limits
Depending on your platform, there may be limits on how many mods you can download and install. The number of mods you can install will also be lower if you don't have enough free space on your console.
Here are the limits you might run up against:
- PS4: No more than 100 or 1GB worth of active mods.
- XBox One: No more than 150 or 5GB of active mods.
- Steam: No hard limit imposed by Steam. Skyrim itself has a hard coded limit of 255 mods.
The space limitations are placed by Microsoft and Sony, while the limit on the number of mods you can install can be placed by either the console manufacturer or Bethesda.
The limitation on the number of mods can change from time to time if Bethesda decides that Skyrim is capable of handling more, or less, mods while still remaining stable.
How to Install Skyrim or Skyrim: Special Edition Mods on PC Using Nexus Mods
The easiest way to find and install mods for the original version of Skyrim on PC is a program called Nexus Mod Manager, which has an associated website. This program is also compatible with Skyrim: Special Edition and many other games. Modders upload their work to the website, where users are able to search for interesting mods, download them, and then install them using the Nexus Mod Manager program
Before you can use Nexus Mod Manager, you need to create an account on the Nexus Mods site. Account creation is free, although there are limits placed on free accounts. For instance, download speed is capped if you don't pay for a premium account.
All of the Skyrim mods on the Nexus Mods site are free, and you are not required to pay any money or provide any billing information during the registration process.
The first step is to download and install the Nexus Mod Manager:
- Navigate to nexusmods.com and create an account.You do not need to pay to create an account. If you do not wish to pay, do not select any of the payment options during the registration process.
- Wait for Nexus Mod Manager to locate your copy of Skyrim.Nexus Mod Manager searches for over a dozen different games. Once it has located Skyrim, you can click Stop Searching if you don't have the other games.
- Click the green check mark to confirm the location of your copy of Skyrim.If Nexus Mod Manager locates multiple games, you must click each green check mark to proceed.
- Select Skyrim or Skyrim: Special Edition, and click OK.
- Select the location where you would like to store the mods that you download, and click Finish.
- If another window pops up, click OK.
- Change the location where mods are stored, or just click Finish.
After you install Nexus Mod Manager, you need to dig in and find some mods for it to manage. This is done through the same Nexus Mod site where you made an account and downloaded the manager software.
The next step is to locate and download Skyrim mods from the Nexus Mods site, and use Nexus Mod Manager to install them:
- Navigate to nexusmods.com/skyrim.
- Locate a mod that you are interested in, and click on it.
- Click on the Files tab.
- Click on Download with Manager.
- Wait for the mod to download in Nexus Mod Manager.You may need to authorize Nexus Mod Manager to make changes to your system. If it fails, try running Nexus Mod Manager as an administrator.
- In the Nexus Mod Manager client, select a mod that you have downloaded, and click the green check mark on the left to install.
- Wait for the mod to install.
- Repeat steps 2-7 to install any other mods you would like to use.
- Click Launch Skyrim.
You can download and install as many mods as you want with Nexus Mod Manager. In fact, it's literally possible to run hundreds of Skyrim mods at the same time. However, adding too many mods can slow the game down, and some mods don't work well with each other.
If you find that your game doesn't run well, or that it doesn't launch at all, use Nexus Mod Manager to change the load order of your mods. In some cases, changing the load order will make them work well together or run more optimally.
If that doesn't work, then the next step is to use Nexus Mod Manager to disable mods until your game starts working again.
How to Install Skyrim or Skyrim: Special Edition Mods on PC Using Steam Workshop
Steam is a service that allows you to purchase games, download mods, and play online with your friends. If you own either Skyrim or Skyrim: Special Edition on Steam, then the absolute easiest way to install mods is to go right through Steam's own workshop.
Owners of the Steam versions of Skyrim can use mods from both Nexus Mods and Steam Workshop, and owners of the Steam version of Skyrim: Special Edition can use mods from Nexus Mods, Bethesda.net, and Steam Workshop. Using mods from multiple sources works fine in some cases, but you may experience undesired effects.
Here are the steps you need to take to install mods for Skyrim or Skyrim: Special Edition via the Steam Workshop:
- Launch your Steam client and log into your account.
- Click Library.
- Locate The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim or The Elder Scrolls: Special Edition in the games list on the left side of the client and click the one you wish to mod.
- Click Community Hub in the Links section on the right side of the client.
- Click on the Workshop tab.
- Click on any mod that you want to install.
- Click Subscribe to install the mod.
You may need to close Skyrim and launch it again to successfully install your mods. Some Steam Workshop mods and mods from other sources may not work well together.
hypothetically yes. only problem is that console games areEXTREMELY difficult to mod with. you'll probably have to buy aseparate moddable console and a few jump drives. but yes it ispossible (however it would be MUCH cheaper and less frustrating tobuy a gaming pc and skyrim pc edition)

How do you re enter pelagius's mind in Skyrim?
It’s been over five years since The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim landed in gamers’ eager hands, and we don’t seem any closer to a true sequel than we were back then (no, The Elder Scrolls Online doesn’t count). Bethesda is content to port the old game to every new platform possible, but the modding community is picking up the slack, adding tons of new, professional-level content to the original version of the RPG.
RELATED:The Best Skyrim Mods That Actually Add Gameplay
The most ambitious of these projects is Beyond Skyrim, which plans to eventually add all of the sprawling fantasy continent of Tamriel to the base game. The going is slow—this is a team of semi-professionals and volunteers, after all, not a company with hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue—but the first small slice of the project is now complete. Beyond Skyrim: Bruma adds the titular city from Cyrodiil, last seen in Oblivion, as a new and huge expansion for the standard in-game explorable area.
Getting this massive mod installed and working is something of a chore, however, and it’s definitely more complicated than your average mod. Download resetter epson t13x for windows 7. Here’s how you do it.
What You’ll Need
For this, you’ll need:
- The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for PC: Only the PC version of the game is supported by the developers of Beyond Skyrim, at least at the moment. The Special Edition of Skyrim is supported, and the mod should be ported to the Xbox One at some point.
- A good Internet connection: …or a lot of time for the massive download. Either works.
- All three official expansions: the mod uses resource files from Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn. If you don’t have all three expansions, you can’t use it. (The Special Edition includes the base game and all three official Bethesda add-ons.)
- Nexus Mod Manager: It’s possible to manually install Beyond Skyrim: Bruma, but there’s really no reason to do so. We recommend using Nexus Mod Manager, the de facto standard for third-party Skyrim mods. Install it now, because you’ll need it for this guide. You can check out our guide here to get acquainted if you aren’t already.
RELATED:How to Install Skyrim and Fallout 4 Mods with Nexus Mod Manager
If you aren’t familiar with the process of installing Skyrim mods with Nexus Mod Manager, you might want to brush up with our guide before you get started on the process below. Installing mods can be tricky, and this one is extra tricky, so it helps to not go in blind!
Step One: Back Up Your Save Files
The creators of the Beyond Skyrim: Bruma mod have instructed users to back up their save files if they’re only trying out the new lands, because the mod saves new files in ways that may corrupt them after Bruma is uninstalled. Skyrim save files are located in your Documents folder by default: DocumentsMy GamesSkyrimSaves or DocumentsMy GamesSkyrimSaves or DocumentsMy GamesSkyrim Special Edition. Simply copy and paste your save files to another folder to back them up, and restore them to this folder after uninstalling Bruma.
Step Two: Install Skyrim Script Extender (Not Necessary for Special Edition)
The Skyrim Script Extender is a mod that allows quite a lot of other mods to function, including much of the content of the Bruma mod. You’ll need to download it and install it, either manually from the SKSE website, or via the handy Steam Workshop version (sadly, there’s no way to install this particular mod with Nexus Mod Manager). Using Steam is definitely the easiest way: just head to this page, log in with your Steam account, then click “Install now.”
If you prefer a manual installation, go to this link, click “installer” to download it, then double-click the installation file and follow the on-screen instructions.
Step Two: Install Skyrim Startup Memory Editor (Not Necessary For Special Edition)
This is an easy patch that will force Skyrim to load up more system memory at startup, preventing some common causes of crashes as the game goes on. Though the patch is hosted on the Nexus Mods website, it’s a manual installation only. Go to this page and click “Download (Manual).” Then click the first link in the “Files” list—it should be labelled “SSME – Skyrim Startup Memory Editor.”
Inside the ZIP folder are two files: ssme.ini and d3xd9_42.dll. Copy both of those files into your main Skyrim game folder; the default Steam installation location is at C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonSkyrim. Replace files in the folder if Windows warns you of duplicates.
Improved map with visible roads. It also increases the instances of bad weather, making each trek through the Commonwealth more dynamic.Which of these unofficial mods will end up in the official offering remains to be seen, but PC gamers can use them now, and the rest of us will likely have access to at least some of them on consoles come June.Happy hunting.Follow Chris on TwitterCheck out on Facebook!
Step Three: Download Skyrim Unlimited: Bruma
Now you’re finally ready to install the mod itself. Head to this link for the standard version of Skyrim, or this link for the Special Edition. Click “Download (NMM)” to download and install the mod through Nexus Mod Manager.
The mod is huge—around 2.5GB—and the Nexus servers aren’t exactly lightning fast, so feel free to go and do something else while the Nexus Mod Manager fetches the files.
Once the download is finished, click on the “Mods” tab at the top of the window, then click the folder expansion button under “New lands” to see the Beyond Skyrim expansion. Right-click the entry, then click “Install and activate.”
Step Four: Set the Load Order
In Nexus Mod Manager, click the Plugins tab and look at the list on the left of the window. You want to find the following entries:
- BSAssets.esm
- BSHeartland.esm
Make sure both of them are checked, and that they load in the above order. You can adjust the load order by clicking one of the entries and then the green up or down arrow to the left.
Step Five: Enter Bruma!
Start Skyrim via Steam in the usual way, and load up your current game save or start a new one. You can enter the region of Bruma one of two ways. You can go through the official Cyrodiil gate, the Pale Pass, at this location:
Or try to smuggle your way into the country via a hidden dungeon, the Serpent’s Trail, at this location:
Getting through the gate is straightforward enough, but the Imperial guards won’t let just anyone through—you’ll have to be a VIP in the land of Skyrim before they’ll allow you to pass. Serpent’s Trail doesn’t have any customs to deal with, but you might find that the bandits infesting the place aren’t too keen on you using their back door to Cyrodiil. Either way, if you can get through by various means you’ll find yourself in a new land (or a familiar one, if you’ve played Oblivion) with lots of new stuff to explore.
