Slowly but surely I will create a series about using Mod Organizer 2 for all your Fallout and Skyrim modding needs. Slowly. Starting…now.

The first thing you have to do is to always save any mod download in an appropriately named sub-folder/sub-directory. For example, a mod that is a Quest & Adventure should be saved in a folder of that title. Likewise, a bug fix should be in a folder named “Bug Fixes”. Now, this isn’t a hard and fast rule because sometimes you’ll download a mod and decide it needs to go into a differently named folder. Again, an example might be a patch for a custom follower that the creator uploaded to the Patches section of the Nexus but which I would save in the same sub-folder as the main files for the follower, so on my hard-drive that looks likes this: \SkyrimModding\FOLLOWERS & COMPANIONS\Remiel\

Now, this might seem a bit anal retentive and annoying but trust me on this, you do not want to lump every mod in the same folder because six months later you will regret that decision.
