This "stuff" will do anything listed in the guide index, too much for a short description here. If you are downloading mods from external sites (Nexus, AFK Mods or others) or reading guides about modding (adding new mods to your playthrough) you may be pointed to one or more of those apps, such as LOOT, the Load Order Optimization Tool. If you're installing mods that provide new animations (or even remove them) you will need an app like Nemesis or FNIS to (un)register those animations.

If you're planning on installing mods, read the mod's description to see if you need any additional external apps, which you can find here. Also, when creating your own mods, tools and resources are presented here.

What does any of this stuff do?

I could have mentioned it, but links will be removed. No use without a proper link.

No mention of Lover's Lab? Shame...lol

Thanx! But you should consider using the github for tools like LOOT, MO2, Wrye Bash and xEdit. Example: MO2 is v1.3.11 on Nexus, v2.2.2.1 on github.

I personally use Nexus but really appreciate all of the hard work you've clearly put into this. Thank you!
