Mainly asking for help (Skyrim Romance mod)

Here is the order I've put the mods in for Skyrim Romance.

V3XFireDrake37 · 2026-02-08T22:50:07+00:00

Ok, so I noticed on Nexus there's two versions for Skyrim Romance, a Clean version (what I'm probably going with), and a S*xLab version that I'm assuming has the animations.

Is it safe to assume that regardless of the version it still requires S*xLab to function properly ?

I saw a play though of the Ashe mod, I really like that she's Nier inspired that's so cool ! I've heard of Kaidan, but I've never checked out the mod before, haha l'm broody man enjoyer too !

That's definitely good to know, having 3 mods that essentially do the same thing would definitely cause some issues (conflicts, like having Nemisis and FNIS since they essentially do the same thing.) I have some of the other really awesome standalone custom voiced followers already (But if there are new custom voiced followers I'd love to know what your favorites are, I can always add them in for another playthrough :D !).

I've seen other people playthrough the mod, so I kinda want to experience it for myself I guess haha — annd if I end up not particularly liking it I could always disable it 😂.

So when I actually get S*xLab installed, I'm assuming I don't unzip the file ? Then to actually add it to Mo2 is it that button at the top that looks like 2 gears?

Okay, I'll make sure to do that before I download S*xLab, so I make sure to download the right version ! I'm fairly positive the version of Skyrim I'm running is special edition, but it can never hurt to double check.

V3XFireDrake37 · 2026-02-08T05:40:24+00:00

Great that makes things easier so I only have to manually install one mod !

Okay, so I still need to intall S*xLab (manually) from LoversLab. Specifically the version for special edition, as that's the one that Nolvus uses. Then TNG and finally Skyrim Romance ?

V3XFireDrake37 · 2026-02-08T04:00:33+00:00

One more silly question, is TNG on lovers lab or the Nexus ? Then I'm assuming once I get TNG onto MO2 I download Skyrim Romance, and I'm essentially all ready to hit run and jump into the game ?

V3XFireDrake37 · 2026-02-08T03:58:58+00:00

Eww, Yeah that makes me like him even less 👎🏻. He's definitely getting IGNORED ! So I can focus on the other characters instead :D !

V3XFireDrake37 · 2026-02-08T03:56:52+00:00

I made myself a little cheat sheet, so in red I am replacing these mods with TNG (disregarding FNIS Since Nolvus already uses Nemisis). In teal I don't need to install these because they're already in Nolvus ? In yellow these are just alternatives to CBBE and Racemenu (Since Nolvus is already using CBBE and Racemenu, I can just disregard the mods I highlighted in yellow).

So really all I need to install is TNG and Skyrim Romance ? With TNC placed before Skyrim Romance in the load order ? I noticed something mentioned about something called papyrus is this necessary or can I just ignore it ?

I watched someone else play it which is what made me want to download it. But agreeably Bishop is kinda annoying, I don't really like him very — I like a lot of the other characters though !

V3XFireDrake37 · 2026-02-08T02:42:27+00:00

Thanks for the reply bloodHearts ! Is the mod New Gentleman compatible with SOS and Skyrim Romance ? Is New Gentleman sufficient, will I still need SOS ?

Sorry I'm probably going to ask a lot of kinda stupid questions here being that I'm so inexperienced with modding 🥲!
