For my first post I am going to go over some essential tips and tools for creating a stable modded Skyrim. Without learning and doing any of this first, creating mods might not be a good idea. Now I know there are multiple tutorials on these things out there that I will be covering, but I'm doing it here for convenience's sake. For starter's you'll obviously need Skyrim installed. Once your game is installed, the first thing you'll need is TES5Edit, LOOT, SKSE and possibly Wrye Bash (I'll get into that later). You can also choose to grab a mod manager, but I'll only be covering manual installation, since it is absolutely essential for anyone modding this game to know how to do that, before playing around with mod managers. Before beginning make sure to download TES5Edit, LOOT, and SKSE.
