Mods allow you to enhance the original game, fix bugs, add new content, and upgrade graphics. You can add landmasses or quests—in fact, pretty much anything you could possibly think of can be added, changed, or tweaked using mods.
The best place to find mods is the Skyrim Nexus website which can be found on Nexus. A good place to start is the Top Files section, which can be found in the sub-menu of the Files category. It will give you an idea of what is popular and also show you some of the best mods made.
Before you install mods, it is a good idea to organize the mods that you have and any that you download. This is true whether you use Mod Management tools or choose to install your mods manually. Now that we have all our mods appropriately named and tidied into one folder, we need to check for any conflicts, dependencies, or patches for our mods. Again, this is a step that you should perform for all mods regardless of the installation method.
The Description tab for a mod hosted by Skyrim Nexus is a very important source of information about patches and conflicts. You can also other see other mods by the same author. It is important to always read the instructions closely. Even mods that you wouldn't expect to cause issues can and will cause problems, including the dreaded Crash to Desktop CTD.
An example is ApachiiSkyHair by the talented modder, Apachii. This mod can cause CTDs when you change hair, sex, or race when selecting your character at the beginning of the game. Installing mods manually once you have checked the installation instructions and downloaded any patches is fairly straightforward.
Even if you use a Mod Manager, installing mods manually gives you a greater understanding of how the files fit together and what they do.

There may also be other files. Copy all of these to your Data folder.
Once you have installed the mod, continue to install mods until you have installed five to ten mods depending on the type of mod. If you are installing texture replacers or mods that add small amounts of new content such as new weapons or armor, you can install more mods at once.
Install fewer if you see significant changes that inhibit your gameplay. The next and most important phase is testing. You need to make sure that the mods you have just added have not introduced bugs, crashes or other problems. The reason that you install them in small batches is that this way it is easier to determine which mod is causing the problem. Look at my load order below—imagine if I had installed them all at once and then I found there was a problem! I would never be able to figure out which mod was causing it.
If I only installed five to ten mods, it is much simpler to find that out. We recommend that you download Skyrim mods from Steam, or Nexus, as these two are home to some of the best not to mention the most trustworthy mods out there.
