# Description

Lite version of [(SE) SKSE and Behaviours Essentials](https://next.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/collections/tokqpx) (For 1.5.97 Game Version) for those who want fewer mods. This is the basis of modding today, actually, the basis of the basis. If any other list/collection contains fewer mods than this one, I'm pretty sure they're missing a lot!

Checking your Skyrim version through Vortex: Go to Games → Find Skyrim → Click the 3 dots:\

The collection works out of the box. If you have any problem, please warn me, it can be a wrong mod update.

### ❗ Every collection of mine is tested on a brand new Steam installation (downgraded to 1.5.97 or latest 1.6.640) before upload, so, they all absolutely work and I ensure it. All of my collections are semi-compatible with each other (except the SE and AE counterparts, of course), you can use as many as you want to build your modlist and then manually tweak them, and make your bashed patch. If you have any questions or uncertainties, feel free to contact me on Discord or here on Nexus.

### ❗ (~Version Independent) means you'll need one of my four SKSE-dependent essentials collections (for downgraded to 1.5.97 or 1.6.640).

### ❗ If you intend to use several of my collections, please, test one at a time, and for now, if you are a noob at modding, try not to install all of them, think of a character and make a modlist around him/her/they/it.

### If you're going to install several collections, you will come across FOMOD Installer options, please, look at the options carefully, and ALWAYS pay attention to individual mod installation instructions I provide with the collection installation, I'll suggest patches and required options for you to select.

### If you like the collection(s) and wanna support me somehow, you can PayPal-donate [here](https://www.nexusmods.com/Core/Libs/Common/Widgets/PayPalPopUp?user=37910400).
