This video serves as a bridge, if you would, between my last video, where we installed SKSE64 and my next video which will be about a tool called LOOT. Before I can get into LOOT though, I want you to really be comfortable with the process of installing a variety of different basic mods for your game. With this video, you will get you to a level where you’re comfortable downloading some mods on your own and trying them out. In fact, after this video, I really encourage you to that very thing. Go online, look up some popular mods, read about them and find a few that you’d really like to experiment with in future videos. As I’ve stated before, I’m not here hold your hand and tell you exactly which mods you need. I want to make you capable of doing that on your own.

That being said, if you’re new to modding and this is the first guide you’re following, this isn’t the end and I still have a lot more videos coming down the pipe with a whole lot more for you to learn. My takeaway is: know your limitation but also don’t be afraid to be independent and make yourself think a little bit.

Some Practice
Right, so let’s get into it. This video is continuing from my previous guides and at this point, you should know the installation processes for the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch and the Skyrim Script Extender. These are covered in the Mod Organizer 2 Intro video and SKSE64 video respectively. So check them out in the top-right if you need a refresher.

Now I didn’t just choose these mods as your first installs for any reason. First, of, they’re both very important for users of this guide but secondly, and most importantly, they represent the easiest and one of the most difficult mod installations for MO2 users. That’s right guys, this is pretty much as hard as gets when it comes to most downloads and installs. Not too bad right?

So let’s go ahead and solidify the knowledge you learned from the last videos by installing a couple more essentials mods. Again, these are mods that just about every user should have so most of you will want these.

Sky UI
Let’s start simple. The first mod is very easy to install now that we have SKSE64. It’s called Sky UI and I’m sure most of you have heard about it. If not, I plan to dedicate I separate video to it in the future where I’ll be going over its features in-depth. For now, though, let me just say that it reworks the inventory user interface to better fit PC players. It does this by rescaling things, expanding lists, adding filters, a search box and tweaking the favorites menu. It’s just a cleaner interface that honestly is still better than vanilla even when using a controller.

The other important thing that it does is add a settings menu for mods. The popularity of this feature is so great that many mods require Sky UI for complete functionality. With it, you don’t have to use powers or books to configure setting to your liking. Again, a very powerful feature and an absolute must for my guides.

Head over to the Special Edition Sky UI Nexus page. As you can see, it’s number is 12604. Links are down below as always too. The description is pretty barren aside from an unsupported alpha warning but you can ignore that message as it’s is outdated. It was only there because SKSE64 was in Alpha at the time of the mod’s release. I suggest also checking out the original Oldrim page for the mod’s description as this is just a port to SSE. Go over to files and download with the mod manager. Once the download is finished. Install it in MO2 like you would any regular mod.

A Quality World Map
The next mod we will be installing is called A Quality World Map and its installation process is a bit different. First, however, let me explain what it does. The map in vanilla Skyrim is actually very unhelpful if you think about it. The above-ground view is quite cool but where are the roads? And how come there are clouds blocking your view? This mod fixes those issues. On top of that, it also increases the texture detail.

Go to A Quality World Map’s Nexus page. It’s Mod ID is 5804. Read the description and go to files. You’ll see that there are quite a few main download options. The three main ones are A Quality World Map 8.4 (this is the oldrim legacy port) 9.0 paper, and the new 9.01 vivid. We’ll be downloading the vivid with stone roads for this tutorial. The paper one looks fantastic but it’s not as compatible with some other mods so I suggest avoiding it if you’re a beginner. Also, because we’re practicing different installation process, we’ll also be downloading the Clear Map Skies optional file. This is what removes the clouds to improve map visibility. As you can see, MO2 downloads these as separate mods but we’ll be merging them so our download order looks cleaner.

First, install the base A Quality World Map 9.01, this is done like any regular mod. Then, go ahead and install the Clear Map Skies. Make sure, it has the same name as the base mod and install. You’ll get a prompt saying the mod already exists, we know that we just want to combine them so we select merge. Now you should see nothing new in the left side pane and that just what we want. The Clear Map Skies files were placed into A Quality World Map. You may notice that the version number is in red. That can be safely ignored as we know we downloaded the most recent... read the full guide - https://aicavehub.com/install-mods-with-mod-organizer-2/
