Question about the skyrim mods installation...

Post » Wed May 16, 2012 8:09 pm

I have noticed that skyrim's preference file are in my documents folder instead of inside the skyrim's folder. SO, I assumes that mods would be installed therein 'My document''s skyrim folder than what is done in previous elder scrolls game?


Thanks! (and excuse my english grammar...)

Mods have never been installed to the My Documents folder, they always go in the Data folder of where your game is installed

No, only the ini files and saves are there. Any mods you install will need to go in your Data folder. Just like Oblivion and the Fallout games, if you used mods for any of them.

Nope. Mods go in Skyrim\Data just like previous Beth TES/Fallout games.

  • Game data/mods: %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Skyrim\Data\
  • Saves & .INIs: %UserProfile%\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\
  • Other config files: %LocalAppData%\Skyrim\
