I'm a console gamer and always have been but I love looking through libraries of mods. Some day, I plan on getting myself a good computer... and learning to use right.
One of the first things you need to know is that you should NOT install Steam into either of the Program File folders (Program Files / Program Files (x86)). It won't really have much of an effect on Skyrim modding per say, but having Steam in one of these folders will have a profound effect on mods (mainly replacer mods I think, other types of mods seem to work fine) for older games like Oblivion and Morrowind. Of course if you're planning to never use mods for older games, then I guess you could put Steam wherever you want, but don't say I didn't warn you beforehand.
Also, Dawnguard is beginning to sound awesome!
