Hello. I just picked Skyrim back up after several months and got around 100 mods for it. All of which I would like to use with my current save games. I also download NMM, Wrye Bash, and BOSS. No Tes5edit yet. I'm not even sure what it does, and i'm pretty new to anything that isn't NMM. However I want to get all these mods working together bug free as can be. I have several armor and weapon compilations, SMIM, some texture packs, new areas, quests, skymomodv12, and a tonne more.

I'm not sure how to get started. Are there some good guides I can follow, or general advice? I have the latest SKSE and just a couple mods on the go At the moment.

EDIT: Also I will mention I downloaded about 25 mods through the Steam workshop, and the rest I downloaded manually and organized neatly into a folder. Not sure if that matters.

Install the mods one or two at a time, load the game and just run around for a few minute or if it's a mod that adds something, go to its. If all works well, install a couple more.

Run boss each time and check the text log each time, that will warn you of conflicts and if you're missing any per-requisites (ie: Another mod that's need to run one you have) as well as sort the load order. Then run bash and check that everything is ok there too.

However, some mods may also require Skyrim Script Extender and will also require you to create a bashed patch in Bash (Read the readmes carefully!)

Trying to install 100+ mods is going to be incredibly time consuming and difficult if you've never modded before or you're inexperienced. With that many you're asking for problems.
