how to manually download mods to mod organizer

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. I want to make you capable of doing that on your own. As I’ve stated before, I’m not here hold your hand and tell you exactly which mods you need. 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. In fact, after this video, I really encourage you to that very thing. With this video, you will get you to a level where you’re comfortable downloading some mods on your own and trying them out. 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.

You have now downloaded a mod.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.

If it does not automatically start the download, simply click the Download button. A small window will open, where the download will either automatically start, you will be prompted with a donation request, or the required files will be listed.

Manual: Click the Manual Download button.

This will open Vortex and begin the download.

Vortex: Click the Mod Manager Download button on the file you want to download.

You can either download it through Vortex (recommended), or you can download it manually. Which file(s) to download varies from mod to mod, so be sure to read the installation instructions! Now you have two ways to download the file.

You will now be presented with one or more files, categorized as Main files, Updates, Optional files, Old files, and miscellaneous.

Once you've found a mod read the description, then click the Files tab.

From here you can browse the categories, new or newly updated files, top files, use the advanced search, search by tags, or browse the Files of the Month.

Finding mods can be done in various ways found in the Files drop-down menu on the top of the site.

This tutorial will take you step-by-step through the process of downloading mods from Nexus Mods.
