    Why is this a blog post? Why not just make it a status?

    That really depends on what mod you use, some mods contain just some little things that don't take much to run but others are very demanding for your system. Anyway, I recommand Skyrimnexus as a source for your mods anyway.

    I was thinking that but isn't nexus super hard to get mods onto the game?

    Not with Nexus Mod manager, it works for Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas. It installs the mods automatically and makes backups from files you overwrite so when you uninstall a mod the files you overwrote from another mod automatically jump back to their original place. It also notifies you when a mod you have downloaded has a new version.

    The only difference is that you have to manually keep your mods updated, with the advantage that the Nexus has many times more mods than Steam Workshop.

    Like Dieter said, it really depends on the mod, and how many mods you have, and if any are conflicting. Use the mod manager from Nexus and get your mods from there too.

    A manual install of a mod isn't that hard either.

    I think the creator of the nexus mod manager made a video about it the day they released the first beta version ( it's still a beta so there are still some small bugs ocassionaly). I don't know how to find that video but I'm sure that if you google it or look it up on Youtube you'll find one. It's not that difficult anyway so I don't really think you'll need it.
