I'm genuinely this desperate. I'm a working dad going to college, I just started double classes, and I've just spent all of my free time for the last 4 days trying to figure out how to get modded Skyrim to run on my computer. I'm not good at this, nothing I do works, and all I want is to relax and do something fun for myself.

I'll PayPal the money, it's not much but it's literally twice what I paid for Skyrim itself. I'm just so desperate to have something comfortable and newish.

What's the timeline on this? I have played a bunch of modded Skyrim but just switched to Linux. That said I was about to build a mod list for myself, probably a lightish simonrim (basically vanilla +) setup with the good quest/new land mods if compatible. If that sounds like something you would also like I will just give you my mod list and load order when done.

Timeline is basically forever, unless someone comes through on this I'm just sol on the whole idea. I'm trying another poster's suggestion for steam tinker launcher right now but my first attempt crashed so hard it forced a system reboot. Scond attempt is 7% through installing a modlist, so if it doesn't detonate my computer I'll tell you what I did to save you the headache.
