The following guide describes the installation process for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition. It contains all the required steps and numerous useful advice, allowing you to install your mods safely and without any problems. Correct configuration of Skyrim mods significantly reduces the risk of damaging the game files. The guide also includes a description of useful tools and the best available mods. There may be some differences between installing mods in the Special and "standard" editions or mod availability for both versions; in such cases our guide will provide all the relevant information.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a game developed by Bethesda Softworks. In the case of the "standard" version (the 2011 release) the mods are available only on PC; Special Edition-compatible mods are available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
