If you ever have questions, check the Discussion tab on the offending mod’s Nexus page–there’s a lot of good info to be had, and developers are often pretty responsive. But the more you do it, the more it’ll become second nature.
Then, load the smaller, more specific mods after, always choosing “Yes to All.”The more mods you install, the more complex the process becomes, and we’ve only scratched the surface here–there are many mods that require even more steps outside of Nexus Mod Manager to work (like ENBs or interface modifications). If you prefer, you’d click “No to All” or “No to Mod”, and any conflicting textures from Real Ice and Snow would not be applied.You could load these mods in the opposite order, too. If you loaded Real Ice and Snow first, you’d get the ice from that mod, and decide whether to overwrite it with Skyrim HD after the fact.If you’re installing a lot of mods, we recommend loading the bigger, game-sweeping mods first as your “base layer”–in the example above, that’s Skyrim HD.
If you want, you’ll click “Yes to All” or “Yes to Mod” to overwrite Skyrim HD’s textures.

Load your existing game or create a new one–either way, the mods you installed will immediately take effect.To disable or uninstall a mod later, close Fallout 4 and open Nexus Mod Manager. Go through the setup process and select your desired options to enable the mod.To change these options later, right-click the mod in the Nexus Mod Manager list and select “Reinstall Mod.” You’ll see the same setup screens again.Now all you need to do is launch Fallout 4. You can do so using the “Launch Fallout4” button at the top-left corner of the screen or just launch it through Steam normally. You’ll be able to choose different options, depending on the mod. You can click the red cancel button that appears in this location afterwards to disable a mod.Some mods will walk you through a setup process the first time you enable them.
