It would also be a good idea to keep a backup folder somewhere away from your main Skyrim folder, just in case something goes wrong and you need to roll back any changes you made without having to re-install the whole game.
When something glitches, having all your files organized and easy to find will make it easier to troubleshoot. Thankfully, most, if not all, the mods available in both Steam and Nexus come with handy, detailed, and easy-to-follow instructions that are designed to be as foolproof as possible.
