PS3HEN Does anyone know how to mod Bethesda games?

Im talking about Fallout 3/New Vegas, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion and Skyrim of course.
I've heard and seen on videos that people can run mods, but how does one put mods?
I have my physical discs turned into "folders" on my ps3's HDD in the "GAMES" Folder, and I would wish to learn how to put any available mods, not cheats like infinite stats, none of that. I'm going for "New Content". Can I just download certain mods from nexusmods, and do something with them? Please, if you have links for guides, tell me and share them! Thank you in advance!

For Skyrim just put the mod BSA and ESM/ESP in the Dragonborn DLC folder> Not all PC mods are compatible with PS3, any mod that requires SKSE ( Skrim Script extender) will not work, some mods that need Skyrim UI will not work and others will> Skyrim UI is not compatible with PS3 at all only PC. Do use too many mods at once or the game will break and/or being superslow to play.

For Oblivion in the installed data folder in games make a folder and call it INSTALLEDDLC and put it in the same place as the DATA folder, make sure all mods files are named in CAPS and put them in the INSTALLEDDLC folder. Agaan not all mods are compatible with PS3, I would say even less than Skyrim are compatible.

For Fallouts I will have to double check as I have not modded these on the PS3 for a while.

If anyone else lands here through google, it seems 12 is the maximum number of mods Oblivion can take, with 13 removing music and 14 causing CTD/XMB after the main menu. Load order is potentially a limitation, based on some mods I've installed breaking Anvil and the Nibeny Bay. I'm assuming the issue is related to Knights.esp and SI not loading before/after. I've only experimented with esps, so I couldn't say if bsas or esms will work. I suggest learning to make your own mods, or merging esp only mods together.



Edit: You mod the Fallouts, or I have anyway, by editing the INI and adding the name of your esp to an STESTFILE= slot, ARCHIVE INVALIDATION INVALIDATED.BSA! and adding the esp name one more time to DATA/RANDOM.ESP. I can provide an edited INI you just need to slap your esp name on if anyone needs it. These go into

With your modded ini being left in USDIR
