Once it's installed, go into Skyrim Special Edition's properties in Steam and set it to 'Only update this game when I launch it' and launch Skyrim with skse64_loader.exe, as otherwise every update to the creation club will break the Script Extender and you'll have to download a new version. Download from: AFK Mods If you want to begin a new game of Skyrim as someone other than the Dragonborn, this is one of several mods that give you a fresh start. Thanks to the Script Extender, essentials like SkyUI are now available in this slightly prettier (it does have nicer shadows), and more stable (you can alt-tab as much as you like, and weigh it down with more mods) version of Skyrim. To be fair, there were other changes as well.
Some of the following Skyrim Special Edition mods can be found on Bethesda's site, but the links we'll post all point to our go-to, NexusMods.
