When starting NMM, use the username and password from the Nexus site.
The links in the mod-list will take you to the description page of every mod. Click the 'Files' tab and you will get to the download section.
NMM will automatically catch the file(s) and start downloading right away after clicking 'Mod Manager Download'. NMM will then save the file, and the mod will show in the 'mods' tab in the main window. Right click the mod, and you can choose to install, uninstall or permanently delete it. When a mod has been installed, a green check mark will show next to the mod, and if the mod contains esm/esp/esl files, then they will then show in the 'Plugins' tab.
Note: If at any time, NMM shows an 'upgrade' dialog box (See example image), claiming that another version of a mod has already been installed, and asks: 'Would you like to update?'. ALWAYS select 'No'. No exceptions. 'No' will install the mod normally, which is the only correct way.
Unless otherwise specified, find the latest 'Main File' and click
The following mods are to be installed one by one, in listed order. This is important, as some mods overwrite files from others. If nothing else is specified, install the latest 'Main File' and click 'YES' to overwrite if asked.
Recommended: After installing each section of mods, launch the game to see if everything works. The list is long, and it's easy to miss an item or install a wrong file. If the game doesn't work, at least you will know which chunk of mods you need to look at, to figure out what went wrong.
*Just make sure to sort the load-order (NMMs plugin window) correctly before launch. *Correct load-order: (LINK)
Note: Some links will point to mods that were made for the 'old' Skyrim (Referred to as: LE - Legendary Edition). These mods has to be downloaded manually and added to NMM via 'Add mod from file'.
*Proper conversions and fixes are included where needed. (Everything with correct form 44 and optimized nif files. No fast sloppy half-solutions.)

The next couple of mods are not exactly Bethesda-policy-lore-friendly, and one could definitely argue that they don't bring any significance to the story. However, absolute and complete absence of even remotely appealing apparel, is not entirely 'realistic', considering the rest of the universe. If the game had a category for lingeries, that's where these mods would fit. They are fairly moderate in terms of materials and presence in the world. If you want more explicit and 'not so moderate' mods, of which there are plenty, try these sites:

█ M7BBP - Vanilla Outfits Replacer (LINK)
*Install this only if you installed the M7BBP-Body mod
█ M7BBP - Mods Outfit Replacer (LINK)
*This will make most of the armor/clothing mods fit the M7BBP-Body. You can still use it, even if you didn't install all of the armor/clothing. You will just get a few extra files that the game won't use. They won't cause any issues what so ever.
These mods are all optional, so just pick any you like. I highly recommend installing at least some of them, so Skyrim won't feel so 'empty'. You can of course use any standalone follower mods from the Nexus. However, these mods have all been tested to work together and with the rest of the guide. I have made texture optimizations where needed, making them less demanding. In short, these mods are guaranteed to work, and they will perform well

^There are two versions of this effect, allowing it to be applied twice. The second version is from the Shield of Solitude and has a base magnitude of 10%.
- This issue has been addressed by the Unofficial Skyrim Patch; the shield has been altered to use the normal version of the effect.

Skill and Perk Interaction[edit]
- Elemental effects are affected by the appropriate Destruction perks. If you have an elemental effect and the corresponding Destruction perk(s), and a second effect, the perk(s) affect both effects. If you have two elemental effects and their corresponding Destruction perks, both perks apply multiplicatively to both effects, giving up to a x2.25 multiplier.
- Stability affects the duration of Paralyze effects.
- Kindred Mage affects the level of Fear effects against appropriate NPCs. Animage likewise boosts the effective level versus animals.
- Aspect of Terror does NOT affect the level of Fear effects.
- Necromage affects the magnitude (damage or level) of all effects used against undead targets. In particular, this allows Turn Undead effects of level 40 or higher to work on Dragon Priests (level 50).
- Necromage also improves the enchantments on items by 25% if the player is a Vampire.
- The total number of charges is increased by magicka cost reducing equipment and a high skill level in the respective magic school, but not by the Novice-Master perks.
- Damage Stamina is affected by both Fire Enchanter and Augmented Flames due to an erroneous keyword.
- This bug is fixed by version 1.3.2 of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch. (details)
Notes[edit]
- Many Fortify Skill enchantments actually affect the action directly instead of increasing your skill.
- Fortify Archery, One-Handed, and Two-Handed are the most powerful offensive enchantments. At 100 Enchanting and with the appropriate perks, if you have the maximum four items enchanted with these, you will do +160% damage. Drinking a '+32% Fortify Enchanting' potion while enchanting further increases this to +188%. For comparison, the difference between having zero perks for a weapon and having all perks for a weapon is +100% damage.
- Resist Magic is probably the most powerful defensive enchantment, as it protects from a wide range of attacks. With the maximum of 85% Resist Magic you can ignore elemental traps and stand in a dragon's breath attack without taking significant damage.
- Nearly all enchantments are available at level 1. Known exceptions are Banish and Paralyze (both at level 22).
Enchanting for Profit[edit]
- If you are mass enchanting your items, weapons offer a greater profit per soul gem used. Weapon enchantment prices are calculated by base uses; the fewer base uses an enchantment has, the more expensive the enchantment will be. The Banish enchantment is by far the most profitable weapon enchantment, followed by Absorb Health and Paralyze.
- Although weapons are more profitable overall, the price difference from higher soul gems is greater for apparel. So, if you have fewer soul gems than you have weapons to enchant, it's usually more profitable to use the smaller soul gems on the weapons, and save the larger ones for apparel.
- If you wish to mass enchant apparel, the most profitable enchantments at the petty soul level are usually Waterbreathing and Muffle, though Fortify Sneak can edge them out at high levels. Waterbreathing can be applied to helms, rings, and necklaces, while Muffle can be applied to footwear. (Waterbreathing and Muffle have no magnitude or duration, so they are just as effective and valuable with a petty soul as with a grand one.) If you use at least lesser souls, Fortify Sneak will surpass it. However, no wearable item enchantments are as profitable as the above-mentioned weapon ones per soul used.
- Regardless of what you're enchanting, at very low skill levels with smaller soul gems, enchanting prices will vary somewhat from their base cost, so check other enchantments to see which is the most profitable. For example, you may find that an item enchanted with Fortify Destruction & Magicka Regen is worth more than one enchanted with Fortify Destruction, even though Fortify Destruction is normally the more profitable of the two.
Effect Charges and Strength[edit]
Apparel[edit]
Class | Multiplier |
---|---|
Grand | x1 |
Greater | x2/3 |
Common | x1/3 |
Lesser | x1/6 |
Petty | x1/12 |
Weapons[edit]
Class | Capacity |
---|---|
Grand | 3000 |
Greater | 2000 |
Common | 1000 |
Lesser | 500 |
Petty | 250 |
Notes[edit]
- The exponent of 1.1 in the number of charges consumed per use means that weapons are more efficient if a lower magnitude is picked. However, the effect is quite weak--halving the magnitude of an effect only improves the efficiency by about 7%. Therefore, for most enchantments it is best to use the maximum magnitude. Possible exceptions are enchantments which apply effects with a duration--since you can swing/fire your weapon fairly quickly, using a duration of more than a couple seconds is usually overkill and will drain your weapon much faster.
- The number of uses formula has an asymptote at 200 skill. For example, if you could get up to 199 Enchanting, your weapon would have x399.5 charges.
- The formula is based on the displayed number when enchanting the weapon. It is possible this does not work as advertised--see the talk page.
- The number of uses and charges per use is not fixed at the time of the enchanting. If you use a Fortify Enchanting by 99% potion with 100 enchanting skill to enchant a weapon with a powerful enchant, and then use it later (while not under effect of said potion), it will run out of charges very fast, because number of charges per use is calculated at the moment of the usage.
- Some enchantment effects cannot be applied to followers, or do not confer the expected benefits to them. See here.
- Enchantment effects stack with one another and with alchemy effects.
Bugs[edit]
- If you equip a shield with magical effects and a one-handed weapon, then equip a two-handed weapon, and then switch back to the one-handed weapon, the shield will be automatically re-equipped but without the magical effects.
- Unequipping and re-equipping the shield fixes this.
