How can I use both Steam Workshop and Skyrim Nexus mods?

Writer Mia Lopez

I use mainly Skyrim Nexus mods, but I have a few mods on Steam Workshop. The ones on Steam Workshop don't activate, mainly because I launch my Skyrim through SKSE. How can I get them to work?

You have to launch the game normally to make Workshop mods activate, but after that you can close and use skse_loader.exe again. Just make a backup of you mods' load order, since the default launcher sometimes "helpfully" rearranges them semi-randomly.

(This is why I avoid Workshop mods. Poor integration with community tools drives me up the wall and makes my mod set fragile.)
