Hi all,
Some of you have probably noticed that since Sony relaxed their rules on not allowing external assets on PlayStation we’ve had a fair few mods which have been ported to PS4/5 but not for Xbox. This is particularly irritating, because on occasion this includes patches for mods which exist on PS but not for us, making it more difficult to pair mod combinations we might like to.
There is no easy fix for this. People reaching out to mod authors for porting to PS are unlikely to think of us any more than we never thought of them (albeit that it wasn’t possible to port most mods to PS for many many years). But as several of you have called this out recently, here’s what we’re going to do
**Parity Port Request - Mod Exists on PS5** is a new flair attempting to address this. It’s blue with Nexus logo
If there is mod or patch which you stumble across which exists on Bethesda. Net for PlayStation, but not for Xbox, then please use this flair.
With the following caveats. And yes, as always, there are a lot of requirements to satisfy Bethesda. Sorry. Please read carefully :
Sorry to make you all jump through hoops here, but Bethesda really do get uppity if we don’t follow their rules on this.
The hope here is to flag these up for porters visiting this sub, and hopefully they will indulge us.
**Disclaimer:** I cannot guarantee that any port requested will definitely be ported. I’m not the Porter here. I’m just a moderator. But it’s best opportunity we have to restore parity when this occurs. I cross my fingers as much as you do.
I shall also update the flairs on several recent port requests to add to this.

If you are new to our subreddit, welcome! This is a simple guide with some helpful links for new modders and those looking for some guidance.
Info every modder should be aware of:
LLO Guides
On PC you can use tools like LOOT to help organize your load order automatically (to help reduce mod conflict), on console unfortunately we have to go about this process manually with something called logical load order guides. You should always start here when modding your game. Pick one (you can use the others for reference points if needed):
Writing Down Your LO
While not entirely necessary it can be incredibly beneficial to write these down either in a word or google document (google document templates are available in the LLO Deep Dive and LLO Tool links above that you can easily grab). If you intend to ask for help arranging mods on this sub we ask that you provide a full list , so from the POV of the community it’s a good idea, and also means that you can keep tabs on which mods you have trued in the past. In the google doc templates you can also list mod links for easy addition/installation of your LO via the website (add them to your library on bethesdas website for them to show up on your console).
Ghost Space
All Xbox Skyrim users have 5 GB of space to install mods into. The in-game load order screen displays how much space you have remaining at the top right of the screen. ‘Ghost Space’ is the term used to describe a situation where the game tells you that you have space remaining to install more mods, but when you try to do that the game informs you that you do not have enough memory free to do that. This is actually a fault with the game itself, which may not be deleting mods properly when you have previously directed it to.
You can find a post going into this in further detail here by u/ILoveSkyrim109, but you can also find tips on the safe practices for disabling and uninstalling mods below.
Proper installation and removal practices
Ghost space can be a result of improperly removed mods, you can also corrupt your save and cause a host of other issues by adding, removing or moving mods on an ongoing save if they aren't simple texture/mesh replacers. Learning about safe practices will save you a massive headache in the longterm.
Always remove patches for mods before the mod they depend on. This is because if you delete the dependant mod/s first then their patches will disappear from your load order. They will actually still be installed in your game, and count towards your total space used, but they will no longer be visible in your load order itself.
Sometimes a full clean slate (including deleting the game) or a partial clean slate (just clearing reserve space and removing your mods from bethesdas site) is necessary to fix an especially broken game. I've gotten into the practice of doing a partial clean slate after every load order as a rule of thumb.
Among other issues introduced by the Dec 2023 update (which we cover later in this guide) we also now have a new issue related to mod space: The new behaviour requires mods to be twice their size to download, meaning you'll now want to install mods in order from largest to smallest for more info and another solution to this (top of post).
Hard Resetting Your Console
You'll need to do this a lot, after disabling your mods, after deleting your mods, after installing your load order or a group of new mods. Many LO support posts are simply users who haven't hard reset after installing their mods. Don't be that person.
Stress Testing your LO
If you want to make sure your load order is crash free it never hurts to try some stress testing methods beforehand rather than finding out your build is problematic halfway through and not having an easy fix.
Running into Unexpected Issues while Modding/Porting?
Before making a post in our community check and see if your problem has already been covered in u/hebsevenfour's helpful December 2023 update PSA.
Modding problems covered:
Hebsevenfour's post also covers important changes to porting that you'll want to be aware of if you are looking to port mods.
Feel free to post your LO in our subreddits feed if you're simply having trouble. When posting your LO, please use the appropriate flair and make sure to double space between mods or use bullets/numbers so the list formats correctly. We do not accept images or videos of your list. If you haven't used a LLO guide start with that before looking for support.
Much of this post is based on the excellent Skyrim Xbox Modding Informational Guides post by former Moderator Clofas1.
Thanks to former Moderator u/unseriously_serious for the predecessor of this post.

What are some essential mods for the game, and how should i layout my load order?
Also im going to play Argonian so if you have any mods that improve Argonians (customization, armour, anything) i would appreciate that too
edit: if there are any mods that improve customization overall, i would appreciate those too

I've tuned down the "sunlight scale" by "-30", using swf. This way the sunny days do not make ground textures overbright during some hours.

Hi Folks
After the latest update of skyrim, does the tagged (modded) still appear on your saves? I'm planning to add inigo without breaking my achievement in xbox. Is he considered achievement friendly now?
r/SkyrimModsXbox • u/08lonelyst • 22h ago
So my brother passed away back in March. He had downloaded all the mods I use for Skyrim (as it was his system) but they somehow all got deleted and now I can’t play any of my saves without redownloading the mods. But I don’t know which ones they are and my mom said I can’t have a séance just to ask him which mods to download. Help please, if you can.

I’ve only dabbled with mods for like a year or 2 and I don’t know much about mods in general so I don’t even know how to order them correctly. I try my best and with the reading I’ve done online I still get glitches.
I want a mod list but I don’t want one that will take ages and ages to add everything and figure it out. If that’s the only way then I suppose I shall do it but I don’t want to spend a bunch of time on it.
I really just want slight graphic enhancements, different weapons and enchantments, quests, maybe even completely new areas to explore? I don’t know what to look up to find what I want. Please helppp

I was given perms to port the Proxima Armor mod, I’ve successfully ported the WIP version but still having trouble with the HDT-SMP heel stuff. I tried nifskope but it caused the toe mesh to disappear then I tried outfit studio and the legs stop being bound to the body.

I need help with my mod load order. Everytime I try this it just flat out crashes my game while trying to start a new game I just simply have no idea what I’m doing so I need help all I know is the unofficial Skyrim special edition patch goes at top , the rest I just let them stay where the game places them for the most part. Thank you for y’all’s help.

Thank you for all y’all’s help .
r/SkyrimModsXbox • u/FatalIllusion_2023 • 1d ago
Cego ported vespro weathers. I tried it in game and I am simply blown away. Please guys give it a try.
You might need to cope with the fact that some gorund textures might look quite bright during some parts of the day, I believe it is a similar issue to teh one from which nirn whispers suffered. Also,. surprisingly enough, this needs to be loaded last, after mods such as lux..
I am actually asking wizkid on how we could tackle this overbright issue and either incorporate the fix in the main mod or perhaps upload a patch for console users.
EDIT: If you install simple workaround framework and use graphic settings -> sky -> sunlight scale, you can fix the overbight texture issues during sunny days. Simply set it to something within -20 to -30 and job is done.

Can’t get DIAL to load out of the master file area, just keeps bouncing back to high in the order.
Does anyone know if it’s just broken or is there a way to fix it?
And if not what could be an alternative to interior lights that sync with weather and change with the tune of day?
r/SkyrimModsXbox • u/Frosty_Sea3307 • 1d ago
I remember I had a mod years ago that reverted some changes the UESSP made, for example reverting the change to archery being under the thief stone instead of the warrior stone like in vanilla. I can't find this particular mod anywhere now, neither on bethesda.net or on the ingame creations menu.

I was wondering if it's worth spending mod slots on Lux via, and I wanted to know what people thought.
I don't know if it's worth continuing to maintain it, because in some cities there are some floating lanterns that I believe are because of it, and even though it doesn't bother me that much, it still makes me doubt it.

Could anyone please point me in the right direction to a proper mod list or maybe their own for 2026? I haven’t updated my mods since 23’ and need some help. My go to’s scenery, graphics, sounds,smooth gameplay, extra NPC conversations, additional quests, dungeons, weapons, armors, spells, items etc. I’m pretty familiar with the popular mods would really like to get updated to the newer ones, thank you ahead of time!
