Question about Skyrim modding

I was reviewing Gopher's tutorial on modding Skyrim. He mentioned that having Steam and Skyrim on the C drive could complicate things, as it might require running NMM as an administrator. Someone should confirm if this issue still exists or not. The C drive is my SSD, so it makes sense for Skyrim to be placed there.

As long as the administrator is active on your machine, you're all set.

I operate NMM as an administrator, but SKSE requires admin privileges to function properly.

Skyrim starts quickly even on a solid storage device. It should work well if you avoid placing it in ProgramData. Consider running it in a folder such as Documents\Skyrim.

Keep Skyrim and NMM outside program files and you'll be fine.
