How does Skse work with nexus?

SKSE seems to be seperate but id love to play with mods, is their any alternative like manually downloading mods or something? its been a while since ive modded and I cant seem to find what im trying to ask on google

SKSE is a script extender and requirement for several mods in Nexus Mods. They work together just fine.

If you are asking how SKSE64 works with mod manager, then you can run it through the mod manger (Vortex or Mod Organizer 2) like any other application. It then reads what mods you have in virtual Data folder (MO2) or as symlinks/hardlinks in your Vortex profile.

Edit: I am unsure if I understood your question correctly.

I guess im just asking if I can replace my files and stuff with SKSE files like it asks me to do and still use nexus, which from what you say it sounds like I can :)

You don't need to actually replace anything. SKSE files are added to game root folder and Scripts folder in to Data folder.

Mods that use SKSE will check it's version on start and run it's features without further interaction or tweaking, if game is launched through SKSE launcher.

Mod Configuration Menu (MCM - comes with SkyUI) allows tweaking options to mods relying on SKSE, if mod author has added configuration options and MCM support for their mod. Not all mods require any configurations, so not every mod has MCM either.
