So I finally built my first computer and I wanted to play the amazing modded Skyrim I've heard so much about. I buy the cheap ultimate edition with all the expansions and load it up from disc. Install and load the game and make my first character. Then I had to quit the game and wanted to download some mods to up the textures and graphics of the game. I download a few mods that look interesting and make the game look a lot nicer except now the game wont even load. Now every time I load the game it takes me to the Launcher and when I hit play a box pops up for User Access Control "Would you like to allow the following program to make changes to your computer?". When I hit Yes, it just relaunches the Launcher and its an endless cycle. This is extremely frustrating that I can't even play the game after purchasing it. I have tried completely deleting the Skyrim game and reloading from the disc. I am still having the same problem. Anyone have any idea what is happening and how I can just play the damn game? Also what can I do to avoid this in the future? I really want to play the modded game since it looks so nice and my computer can finally run it.

Edit: here are the specs to the computer, let me know if you need anything else
i5 4790k
16gb Corsair vengeance DDR3
gtx970
gigabyte z97 mobo
windows 8.1

that's the thing with mods... if you get the load order wrong, it doesn't start or closes when opening, it can get very tricky. Google BOSS or LOOT... they are apps that will look into your mods and correct the load order.

If this doesn't work, I suggest you start from scratch... only install skyrim and test it first... then go 1 or 2 mods at a time and run it. What mods did you test first?

2 things that might cause you that problem.
1-Bad load order Try to unistall all mods and launch skyrim and the dlc's only.
2-You installed some mod that requires the Skyrim Script Extender but you havent installed it first.

Btw if you are new to Modding Skyrim i suggest you start with texture mods first and try to use Nexus Mod Manager to install/unistall mods.
I think Steam has a tool like that too.
And NEVER install many mods on one go and launch game.
Put them on one by one play a bit to see if its working and the continue to the next.
