( I have 3 data folders for swapping and testing, 2 on usb, 1 on HD)

That means the disk(game folders), internal game data, well as installed DLC. I’m running my entire game off of a USB stick. I can give you my experience but keep this in mind: We’ll go ahead and discuss load times now, I feel this is the most important. I currently have about 30+ mods running on my game, ( don't do this) (and a whole ton more that I’m not using but do work) and am currently level 41 with little to no issues other than increased load times and the usual lag that comes with vanilla Skyrim. Will take time, and depends on the interest, I guess.) And finally, if requested, I can upload my mod collection to a file sharing service for everyone. In addition, there are important notes regarding mods. (There is a list of mods that I have verified working on ps3, as well as a list of some that do not work, at the end of this tutorial. This is a LONG read, so I apologize in advance, I just wanted to attempt to be as thorough as possible.

So I figured I would share my methods(no longer simply my methods) for modding this great game. So I’ve seen this topic come up a few times here, with never any really definitive answers on it. CREDIT GIVEN DOWN IN THE UPDATED SECTION. PLEASE REFER TO THE NEW METHOD TO INSTALL YOUR MODS BELOW. THE METHOD TO IMPLEMENT MODS HAS CHANGED.
