If you have any performance or hardware related issues, consult the Skyrim PC performance thread as the threads are now split.
If you find any good mods, PM me. I would prefer these mods be tested if possible.
This section is subject to heavy changes depending on the direction the creation kit takes mods. Always read comments/feedback to ensure you will not have issues. Use at your own risk!
GETTING STARTED
Nexus Mod Manager- It's a tossup but this one is the best one right now. Support is also better.Mod Organizer
1. Copy the MO folder to anywhere on your computer. Copying it to your Skyrim directory might help avoid possible issues.
2. Create a profile. You can name it anything.
3. Go into Settings and set Load to Proxy DLL.
4. There are two ways to load mods:
A) Download a mod from Skyrim Nexus and then click Install Mod. Select the zip file and MO should do the rest. Just make sure to check that the hierarchy is ok. See step B for more info.
B) Download a mod from Skyrim Nexus and create a folder for it in ModOrganizer > mods. Copy the mod folder into the folder you have created. The directory should look something like ModOrganizer > mods > Enhanced Water > Textures > Effects/water.
MO also lets you edit the ini files without affecting the main Skyrim files. Just click Edit ini and do as you wish.
ENB mods/fixes for ESV Skyrim.*
*When using ENB config files and want to go back, check SkyrimPrefs.ini- sD3DDevice="AMD Radeon HD 6900 Series" (My GPU) in [Display]. If launcher continuously pings your HW configuration, check sD3DDevice and delete "ENB". Change back.
ENB Profiles

Skyrim Script Dragon
SKSE Script Extender
The Skyrim Script Extender, or SKSE for short, is a modder's resource that expands the scripting capabilities of Skyrim. It does so without modifying the executable files on disk, so there are no permanent side effects
Anything released from the workshop will now have a CK next to it.
