Required mods of Skyrim

If you want to mod your game with more than 2 or 3 mods, you must be cautious. First of all, I will show you some mods that will help you, or that will be required by a lot of other mods. These mods will just optimize and make a better vanilla game, so I think people who don't want to mod Skyrim can download them.

SKSE

The first mod you need is SKSE. This mod (or plugin) is just a little program needed by a lot of mods. It's a ressource plugin for modder which extend the utility of the scripts.

It isn't a mod, but an installer. Download it, install it and forget it !

SkyUI

SkyUI is THE mod you need. It's an Overhaul for the Skyrim's interface which make the navigation easier and more intuitive. Read the description of the mod if you want, but the best is to try it ! Watch the pictures if you want to be sure. The optimization is very helpful when you search an item, a spell or a potion. And the favorite menu looks better too !

It's just the best mod for Skyrim's interface. It's the more downloaded skyrim's mod since skyrim exist.

This mod is also used because of the Mod Configuration Menu. The menu allow you to configure your mods ingame, without needing to restart the game.

Note : this mod is optimized for those who play with Keyboard/mouse. 

Better Dialogue Control and Better MessageBox Control

This two little mods are helpful to control message and dialogue boxes. Who isn't bored to have to click with his mouse to validate an enchantment ? And have anyone clicked on the wrong dialogue line ?

Now, you won't have these problems anymore !! Download it and enjoy, you have nothing to do, nothing to configure.

Note : It's a mod for those who play with keyboard/mouse, not for those who play with pad.

The Unofficials Skyrim's patches

These patches are made by the community and are here to correct all the bugs/traduction fails/other fails on the vanilla game. It's a very good work, and, like the other mods, you just have to install them

After...

Now, you have installed all the required mods for your game. The other mods are not essentials, just download them if you want. I will try to make some articles with some kinds of mod, then you will be able to choose whatever you like.

Good game !
