New to Addons but well read few questions :D

Post » Thu Sep 27, 2012 4:45 am

So I have yet to add any mods(besides SBW) to Skyrim but decided it was time to give it a try. I have read over the S.T.E.P. Guide to familiarize myself with everything and have a small list of addons(all are very popular and widely used) that I wanted to give a try. Just wondering if any of these would conflict I have scanned over each mod info page etc on Nexus and didn't see any issues but you never know.

This is what I plan to use:

Skyrim Unplugged
Wyre Bash
BOSS

Booting via Simple Borderless Window

Addons:
Unnofficial Skyrim Patch
SkyUI
Skyrim 2K Textures
Static Mesh Improvements(I believe it's called)
Climates of Tamriel Project Reality Pack
Jaysus Swords
HD Texture Pack Fix

I guess the few main questions I have other than that is can I or should I use the DLC Texture pack with this or is it redundant?

Is there an order I should install this stuff other than obviously installing the manager and sorting stuff first?

My .ini is already set up and I have a completely clean and tested install and my game is backed up in this current vanilla state.

Anyways thanks fellas :D

If you want to use the DLC texture pack along with other texture you'll have to invalidate it so loose files load over the BSA - my computer's too slow for this stuff so I wouldn' know 'bout that. As for install order, as a general rule-of-thumb do the biggest mods first, then move on to smaller ones (so you should install SMIM after Sky2k.)

That's no longer necessary as of the 1.4 non beta release.

Thanks for the input fellas :D
So Death can I just install Wyre Bash...use that to install the rest of the addons....and then install and use BOSS to sort them out for me? Am I missing a program?
SKSE? etc.

I like to keep the xxSE family around, personally. Never know when I might need it and it doesn't hurt. Bash has a toggle for it, too.

Pretty much. Just remember to observe install order and to make sure you've got the Bash settings to your liking. Also, BOSS is nice to have around.

You need SKSE for SkyUI, you don't need the HD Texture Pack fix if your not going to use the HD DLC obviously. I'd recommend you use it though since it covers textures not covered by the other mods you mentioned.
