The first thing you need is a robust mod management utility. To get started, make sure you’ve got 7zip & NexusMods account. And don’t go crazy with too many mods or the game might not even start if you have a lot of conflicts. Some mods work between the editions ( textures are always fine but not meshes) but generally you want to stick to the one you’re using. I personally recommend Skyrim SE due to improved stability, 64bit engine and generally much better performance and less crashes ( very important if you have a lot of demanding mods). So if you’re playing on Skyrim LE, use this to get your mods. The process is the same for Skyrim LE ( Legendary Edition) & Skyrim SE ( Special Edition), the only difference is the version of the mods that you’re downloading (and SKSE, Skyrim Script Extender).
