Mod organizer good with skyrim?

[Corvo]

Just finished my fallout 4 game with tons of mods .

Should i be careful of something with skyrim . Mod organizer is the best right ?

Should i get some wabbajack even tho i never used it , is it similar to mod organizer.

Do u prefer downloading mods of ur choice one by one or collections , but mostly in collections alot is outdated and not work properly

I am using MO2 for Skyrim and personally consider it best for it. Opinions do vary.

I am also planning my own mod lists ("planning...") and downloading files individually. This way I am aware of conflicts and can manage them.

I also vastly prefer MO2, though one thing to note is that if you're at ALL interested in the "collections" that are hosted on the Nexus, those really only work "as intended" if you use THEIR official mod manager, called Vortex.

You can absolutely still research which mods are included in which lists, and try to piece them together via manual DL's wherever possible - problem though is that mod authors can "hide" their mods from manual DL's, so the only way to "find" them on the Nexus is to use the official collection, which basically requires Vortex if you want that literal "one button does it all" installation experience. That's half the appeal to the collections - someone ELSE already did the tedious dirty work of sorting out the compatibility patches and load orders and whatnot.

Aside from that though, I find MO2 to be the perfect blend of flexibility and convenience; it's relatively easy to learn compared to other managers, but still immensely powerful. VFS basically means you can have as many Skyrim "installs" as you have room for on your storage device.
