The first thing you'll need to know if you're playing Skyrim on a modern PC in 2023 is that it's going to have problems running at a framerate higher than 60fps. That's why our guide assumes a manual pick-and-choose style of modding, and is sorted into categories so you can find a selection of individual mods that are compatible and suit your playstyle.
It can be overwhelming to sort through all those mods, and installing a pre-canned list usually means adding a bunch of things you don't actually want, then not being able to get rid of them without messing up various dependencies. Become a giant, fly, walk through walls, spawn any item you want, and even become Santa Claus with Skyrim console commands. There's no need to play Skyrim as a humble warrior.
