LOOT is a great tool for automating and customizing your load order, and will detect problems and attempt to repair them.

Load order is often very important when using multiple mods, and sometimes if mods aren't loaded in the correct order they won't work properly. SKSE is now available directly through Steam, but you can still find it here if you prefer manual installation. Not every mod on this list requires it, but many do, including the essential SkyUI, so you're best off just installing it up front. Skyrim Script Exstender (SKSE) is a utility that's required for some of the more complex mods to work. It's also useful in that it supports tons of other games, like The Witcher 3, Fallout 4, and many more. It's easy to use and makes downloading, activating, and deactivating mods a breeze. Available from the Nexus Mods website, just like most of the mods on our list, it will handle everything for you. Replacing the Nexus Mod Manager is Vortex, a newer program for organizing your mod loadout. Again, make sure you read the pages for each of your mods: many of them require specific steps and instructions.
