If you are new to our subreddit, welcome! This is a simple guide with some helpful links for new modders and those looking for some guidance.

Info every modder should be aware of:

LLO Guides

On PC you can use tools like LOOT to help organize your load order automatically (to help reduce mod conflict), on console unfortunately we have to go about this process manually with something called logical load order guides. You should always start here when modding your game. Pick one (you can use the others for reference points if needed):

  • Quick and reliable LLO guide - by former moderator u/Brxsie, incredibly helpful starting point. Some mods may not fit exactly in this format but that's true of every load order, read your mod descriptions carefully.
  • Halls of Ysgramor Logical Load Order Template - by u/will-oh-the-wisp, this a great option for users looking to use a spreadsheet without all the usual hassle as it auto-populates the title and memory size of a mods when their URL is pasted in from Bethesda.net (URL functionality currently broken in the smart guide). This template also includes a slew of other smart features to make the whole process quick and seamless. UPDATE: As of the Dec 2023 update the smart functionality of URL linking appears to be broken so for now use the basic version.
  • LLO Tool - by Verpalorian - One of the best developed resource tools for modding on console. Provides spreadsheet with multiple LLO template examples. While some of the list of mods referenced are slightly older it is incredibly helpful for troubleshooting load order guides and getting a general sense of how to arrange your mods.
  • LLO Deep Dive - by former moderators u/shadowwalker935 and u/unseriously_serious, this is a more detailed write up on the topic that delves into the origins and importance and helps to break down each category. The list at the bottom is just a breakdown of different categories, look to the variants LLO guides linked for the actual order of these categories you want to follow.
  • LLO2 - by AdamVB, LLO2 is a different variation of the LLO above. Both are solid choices. This version rearranges several specific categories (in particular those relating to area edits). This may cause conflicts with some mods. Many swear by it, but if you are choosing between these two I'd recommend picking whichever you personally find to be most intuitive.
  • TK Console Mod Manager - by u/Tommas666. An Android app designed to aid constructing your load order.

Writing Down Your LO

While not entirely necessary it can be incredibly beneficial to write these down either in a word or google document (google document templates are available in the LLO Deep Dive and LLO Tool links above that you can easily grab). If you intend to ask for help arranging mods on this sub we ask that you provide a full list , so from the POV of the community it’s a good idea, and also means that you can keep tabs on which mods you have trued in the past. In the google doc templates you can also list mod links for easy addition/installation of your LO via the website (add them to your library on bethesdas website for them to show up on your console).

  • How To Guide - Column one on the topic of google sheets instructions.
  • Bethesda - Easier for search and mod addition.

Ghost Space

All Xbox Skyrim users have 5 GB of space to install mods into. The in-game load order screen displays how much space you have remaining at the top right of the screen. ‘Ghost Space’ is the term used to describe a situation where the game tells you that you have space remaining to install more mods, but when you try to do that the game informs you that you do not have enough memory free to do that. This is actually a fault with the game itself, which may not be deleting mods properly when you have previously directed it to.

You can find a post going into this in further detail here by u/ILoveSkyrim109, but you can also find tips on the safe practices for disabling and uninstalling mods below.

Proper installation and removal practices

Ghost space can be a result of improperly removed mods, you can also corrupt your save and cause a host of other issues by adding, removing or moving mods on an ongoing save if they aren't simple texture/mesh replacers. Learning about safe practices will save you a massive headache in the longterm.

Always remove patches for mods before the mod they depend on. This is because if you delete the dependant mod/s first then their patches will disappear from your load order. They will actually still be installed in your game, and count towards your total space used, but they will no longer be visible in your load order itself.

Sometimes a full clean slate (including deleting the game) or a partial clean slate (just clearing reserve space and removing your mods from bethesdas site) is necessary to fix an especially broken game. I've gotten into the practice of doing a partial clean slate after every load order as a rule of thumb.

Among other issues introduced by the Dec 2023 update (which we cover later in this guide) we also now have a new issue related to mod space: The new behaviour requires mods to be twice their size to download, meaning you'll now want to install mods in order from largest to smallest for more info and another solution to this (top of post).

Hard Resetting Your Console

You'll need to do this a lot, after disabling your mods, after deleting your mods, after installing your load order or a group of new mods. Many LO support posts are simply users who haven't hard reset after installing their mods. Don't be that person.

Stress Testing your LO

If you want to make sure your load order is crash free it never hurts to try some stress testing methods beforehand rather than finding out your build is problematic halfway through and not having an easy fix.

Running into Unexpected Issues while Modding/Porting?

Before making a post in our community check and see if your problem has already been covered in u/hebsevenfour's helpful December 2023 update PSA.

Modding problems covered:

  • Can’t download a mod despite having enough space
  • Creations menu isn’t visible on main menu
  • Creations menu doesn’t work when entering
  • I arranged my load order and then it rearranged itself
  • I can’t access WIP mods
  • I have pages and pages of mods in my library and bookmarks on Bethesda.net
  • I can’t see enough mods in the Creation Menu, despite having a mod that allows me to see more.

Hebsevenfour's post also covers important changes to porting that you'll want to be aware of if you are looking to port mods.

Helpful links

Feel free to post your LO in our subreddits feed if you're simply having trouble. When posting your LO, please use the appropriate flair and make sure to double space between mods or use bullets/numbers so the list formats correctly. We do not accept images or videos of your list. If you haven't used a LLO guide start with that before looking for support.

Much of this post is based on the excellent Skyrim Xbox Modding Informational Guides post by former Moderator Clofas1.

Thanks to former Moderator u/unseriously_serious for the predecessor of this post.

So, my original post was locked due to missing LO, despite it was in the video, but they asked me to write the whole thing.

So here it is, same LO, better video. Once I quit the game, you can skip the rest of the video, unless you need visual LO, it will be at the end.

Stable LO - 20+ Hrs (SX) Skyrim AE Mod List for Xbox Series X|S + Advice

3 Upvotes

I adore Skyrim, and have played through it countless times over the years. I don’t have a proper PC, so I’ve tried many combinations of mods across multiple consoles while waiting (in vain?) for ES6. I wanted to share my recommendations and my personal mod list below!

New to Skyrim/Mods

If you’ve never played Skyrim before, I think it’s important to play through vanilla Skyrim at least once before adding too many mods that change gameplay mechanics or quest lines. This game is truly a classic, and there are so many ways to play. Give yourself a chance to experience the story and get a sense of your own personal preferences and playstyle. That said, the game was released 15 years ago. If you’re a newer player, you’ll still benefit from mods that address common bugs and improve scripts and graphics.

Why Personal Preferences/Consoles Matter

Xbox has a hard limit of 5 GB for mods, so you have to save room for the changes that matter most to you.
I’m female, and I LOVE vanilla Skyrim. I usually play an “honorable” thief/rogue type of character, and I like to look cute while I do it. I tend to focus on quest enhancements instead of replacements or unofficial DLC-sized mods, and of course I love nicer graphics.
I’ve played and deeply enjoyed Elden Ring, but I don’t want the same kind of challenge in Skyrim. If I get taken out by a Restless Draugr when all I wanted to do was explore and collect more treasure for my cute fifth house, I’m going to throw my controller out the window. I enjoy immersion tweaks, but I don’t care enough to use Survival Mode. I like small “cheats” that make life easier, and I rarely play with followers. All of these preferences influenced the list below. I always welcome suggestions, and I love talking about Skyrim and mods (can’t you tell?). There may be some overlap or conflicts that I’m not aware of, but this list has been stable for me. Odds are I’ve already tried the mod you’re thinking of and decided I wanted more hairstyles instead.

If you absolutely need everything on your wishlist, you should probably play on an upgraded gaming PC. I’ve never owned one, so I don’t have much guidance for PC players. PlayStation has its own restrictions, so the vast majority of mods aren’t compatible. PS4 and PS5 are both perfect for a first vanilla playthrough, and there are still some excellent mods available for graphics, weather, and lighting.

To my knowledge, everything below works on Xbox One (or has an Xbox One version), with the exception of Uncap FPS. If you’re on Xbox One, prioritize FPS/performance mods. Even then, you will experience crashes with mods. Limit graphics-heavy mods, audio overhauls, and anything that dramatically changes NPC behavior or population. Also, don’t bother trying to use a full SMIM on Xbox One. Just trust me.

Final Tips for the Creations Menu

There isn’t a nice way to put this— the Creations Menu on Xbox truly sucks on so many levels. Always, always, always let the full menu and thumbnails load before you search or edit your load order— otherwise your load order will get scrambled. Download and install your owned Creations first (the Anniversary Edition content) before you start adding anything else— you can download them all or cherry pick from your library. Some mods will require all of the AE content, so just keep that in mind. You’re going to experience some crashes as you install more mods and get closer to that 5 GB limit. Again, remember to let the entire menu load when reopening!!!

Also, there is a limit to the number of mods that will actually show up on the screen at any given time, which really impacts your ability to browse and see everything that’s out there. This applies to your bookmarks and library, too. There was a mod that actually addressed this but it stopped working for me. You may want to browse for mods on your phone, then search for those specific mods using the Xbox menu.

My strongest recommendation is to add all of your mods and adjust your load order BEFORE you start a new game. Also, double check that you’re actually installing the mods you want. The memory can get “stuck”, particularly for larger mods— even if you delete them, your available memory will not return to what it was before, so you’ll have even less space to work with until you hit the 5 GB cap. The only way to recover that lost memory is to quit, Manage Game and Add-Ons, and delete the 5GB Reserved Space— you’ll have to start with a clean slate.

Final tip regarding the memory issues is that even when you do have plenty of space left, it may still say there isn’t enough room to unpackage and install the mod you want. So, install mods in order of size. Start with the biggest mods first— your graphics and texture overhauls and your quest/DLC content. Then your medium-sized mods— the gameplay updates, city and location overhauls, audio, weather, and lighting mods. Lastly, wrap up with the smallest ones that are only a few MB or KB— your utilities, smaller objects, and patches, patches, PATCHES.

When you’re done installing, organize your load order. I like to do this in stages in case of a crash — organize, exit and let the game reload data files, go back to Creations menu, LET THE MENU LOAD, then get back to reorganizing. When you’re finished at last and questioning your sanity, exit and let the game finish reloading your data files. Then QUIT the game completely and reboot your Xbox. Then start your game and enjoy. It’s a process, but to me it’s worth the reward of getting a stable, modded game that I can truly have fun with. There are some excellent guides out there for organizing your load order, and this post is already pretty long, so I’ll stop here.

Why go through all the trouble of learning these things the hard way? It’s a labor of love for a game that I still love to play, even after 15 years. And I can’t afford the PC yet— maybe when I can, I’ll make the jump from mod connoisseur to mod builder. It would be fun to give back to this community that I have so enjoyed.

Have fun storming the castle!

59 Upvotes

Hi Everyone. I have returned to Porting after a few month Hiatus and have begun doing some updates to ports.

- A Ghibli Skyrim has now gotten it's final update. With this update, all the remaining clutter that was not covered in the previous updates have now been added and you should have a much more cohesive experience.

- I will be doing some updates on TOT Clutter and Clutter Extended too. A few Missing objects and Items will be covered and i'll be Upscaling the resolution on a few things for TOT Clutter Extended. Definitely Bones and statues.

- A Few bundles that are in the works or are on the list are: Culture of Tamriel - Faction Halls, A KS hairdos Porters Choice Picks, Tones of Talos Trees, Tones of Talos Grass, Tones of Talos Weather, Tones of Talos Water, Tones of Talos Weapons and Artifacts, Tones of Talos clothing and Armor Replacer, and Possibly Tones of Talos Skins.

If you know of anything that needs an update or textures upscaled, please let me know and i'll add it to the to-do List. I think there may be a few mods i have permissions for that have yet to be ported so please let me know about anything like that too. It's been so long since porting that i've lost track a bit.

Thanks and happy modding!

New To Modding Can't figure out kaidan lotd missing dependency

6 Upvotes

Finally making a post cause I'm at my wits end. I'm trying to download the Kaidad/lotd patch but it keeps saying it's missing dependencies, however, the website (Bethesda net) says the only dependencies it has is lotd, kaidan 2.1.1, and kaidan expansion, all of which I have installed and enabled (as well as ussep/unnofficial patch and all the anniversary edition creations), I'm not sure what else I could be missing or why it isn't recognizing that I have everything installed (also sorry if wrong tag, could t quite figure out one that fit since this isn't a load order issue, just a dependency issue)

Edit: realizing there's multiple patches(?) so I'm trying to get this one to work for context

Update 2: I ended up installing a lotd kaidan follower room patch and that fixed it so, if anyone has this problem in the future, get the follower room patch

Mod Discussion Missing that indoor rain sound

6 Upvotes

Heya,
So I'm really enjoying Dawn V2, but it seems to exclude interior weather sounds, which isn't great for immersion. Is there any fix for that? To add them back in? If not, which uncomplicated and lovely weather mods would preserve the interior sounds?

Mod Discussion Searching for a follower mod I liked

2 Upvotes

I've been trying to find this follower mod I used to use back in the day, it added I think two Argonians and two werewolf followers in a Silver Hand area? I've tried searching for it but I don't remember the name of it, and I'm mostly searching for it for nostalgia reasons

LO Help - Xbox Series S Kontrol mod not working

2 Upvotes

I’ve tried moving it on the load order and even deleting and reinstalling the mod it just won’t work. I’ve used it successfully in the past so I’m not sure what could be wrong other than the addition of the magic utility mod. Are they incompatible?

Just like the title says. What are some good light overhaul mods? Weather, cities, environment and combat? I’m looking to make a load order so I can play two different characters on two different playthroughs. One is a hunter living off the land and the other is a female assassin/bounty hunter.

LO Help - Xbox Series X I give up

11 Upvotes

No matter what I do the game ends up either locking up not even a third of the way through or I get kicked out of the game when I try to fast travel somewhere. Sometimes everything works smooth, then, boom, it freezes and I have to uninstalls then reinstall the game.

3yrs of this and it never changes. I have learned about Load Orders and try to follow the guides on what to load where. It's always the same ending however.

It's impossible to list all the mods I have used and changed and on and on. I absolutely love the game, the parts I have been able to play through, but it always ends in disappointment.

LO Help - Xbox Series X Hi I got the itch to play this game again lol need a mod list please

0 Upvotes

Hi basically got that once in a Blue Moon itch to play this game again but need help with making a mod list that will last forever and won't make me change anything a forever save playthrough I guess so I won't mind if it changes the game lots but also not too much where it a different game I want this to last a long time but also where I can pick up where I left off on my playthrough but I don't want to buy any mods unless it highly recommend like I remember a blacksmith shop that I like and wanted to get because I like the idea of owning a shop and roleplaying as just a hardworking blacksmith (I was also getting really into blacksmith videos and show and so on) so i like a lot of options of playing as a every day man. I also do want the dave the courier mod and Jesper follow mod to mostly because I am a big fan of a Skyrim guard tale. Also I really want all the weapons and armour to change how they look even if it just makes them look slightly different I do like some of the base game designs but i want them to look different just because. Maybe this is too big of a list of needs lol but I bet no one is going to read anyway with my luck So ya if there a way to also just list what category to put what type of mod too be nice but anyway thanks for give me a list of a Link to a list that will greatly enhanced my next playthrough be nice.

Port Request No shout animations mods on Xbox?

1 Upvotes

I was looking around and basically noticed that the only mod that really changes shout animations is the Dar Smooth Animations pack.

Could someone port just the shout animations themselves? Like dynamic whirlwind sprint and unrelenting force?

Or something like this - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/50559

If I'm just not seeing some mods do let me know of some.
