Within this knowledgebase, you'll understand how mods work for Skyrim Together.
NOTE: You do not add mods directly to your server, all mods are client side. Thus why it is important for all clients to have the same mods
Firstly, we'll talk about the bEnableModcheck. To enable this option, simply navigate to Configuration Files > STServer.ini and find the bEnableModCheck section and replace the "false" with "true"

The Skyrim Together Wiki states the following:
The bEnableModcheck parameter allows you to enable or disable the option of enforcing a mod policy.
If you enable bEnableModcheck, everyone who connects to your server will go through the following process:
-
Player A connects to your server, which has modcheck enabled.
-
Your server will examine Player A's loadorder.txt file.
-
If the loadorder.txt file on the server matches, Player A will now join your server.
-
If the loadorder.txt file does not match the one on the server, Player A will be denied access to the server.
If you disablebEnableModcheck, everyone who connects to your server will go through the following process:
-
Player A connects to your server, which has modcheck disabled.
-
Your server will not examine Player A's loadorder.txt file.
-
Even if you use different mods, the player will be allowed to join.
The reason for enabling this is to increase the chances of having a more stable gaming session and/or playthrough.
It is not necessary to use if you and your friends are not using mods (or if you are only using Address Library for SKSE).
Enforcing Specific Mods
To enforce specific mods on your service, you'll need to edit the loadorder.txt file within the Configuration Files.
This file dictates the load order of your mods and specifies requirements for the client.
This file dictates the load order of your mods and specifies requirements for the client.
To enforce mods on your server, simply add the mod name and the .esp extension at the end, for example, if you wish to run the Alternate Start Mod, the full name of the mod is Alternate Start - Live Another Life and the file extension for this mod is .esp, therefore, you'd place in your loader file the following:
Alternate Start - Live Another Life.esp
To have multiple mods, simply add another mod name on a new line.
Alternate Start - Live Another Life.esp
To have multiple mods, simply add another mod name on a new line.
If you'd like to use all of the mods you currently have installed, you can copy your own loadorder.txt file. You can find your own loadorder.txt file in "C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Skyrim Special Edition"
