I haven't toyed with mods in a long while, but the majority of mods are safe tu use. Just stick to mods that have been out for a while and that are well liked by the users and you should be fine.

The biggest problems come from game updates that may make the mods not working, which would have an impact on your savegame, and that if you install several mods in one game, they may conflict with each other, causing problems. That's why you need to keep an order when installing mods, but that's something that may be mentioned in the description of the mod or in some comment.

I can't talk about Nexu Mods specifically because I don't have an account and you can't download mods from there without one.

Fair points and thank you.  I had not considered the update thing.  I will have to give it more thoughts.  I am not convinced it is worth the effort.  

Well, mod breaking updates are something that is more likely to happen with new-ish games rather than "old" ones. It's more likely that Bethesda will launch another Skyrim version rather than updating an old one with new content, for example.

But it all depends on which games you want to mod and also which part of the game will get affected by mods. Those packs with higher textures I usually post about in the news are very, very unlikely to cause any problem.

And hey, if you want to "get your feet wet", you can always try the Steam Workshop. Check if you have a game with a Workshop and if there's anything you want to try. It's as easy to use as possible, beccause you only need to subscribe to the mod and Steam will install it for you, and if you don't like it, you can always unsubscribe (soimetimes the game will have a mods section in the main menu where you may have to activate or de-activate the mods).
