i. The official website for Nexus Mods is [ nexus mods ON Nexus Mods nexusmods.com ].

ii. Here are some advanced tips for using Nexus Mods, particularly for modding games like Skyrim:

1. **Separate Installation**: Install both Steam and Skyrim on a separate internal drive if possible. Avoid installing in Program Files or Program Files (x86) to prevent permission issues.

2. **Modding Tools**: Get comfortable with essential modding tools like your mod manager (Vortex or MO2), LOOT, Wrye Bash, and SSEEdit. You'll be using these frequently.

3. **Stability Utilities**: Install and configure utilities like SKSE, Address Library for SKSE Plugins, Bug Fixes, SSE Engine Fixes, and More Informative Console. These tools contribute to the stability and information richness of your modded game.

4. **Alternate Start Mod**: Use an alternate start mod to avoid script execution issues at the beginning of the game. This helps in stabilizing the game from the start.

5. **Load Order Curation**: Spend time curating your load order. This may require multiple test games to finalize a stable list of mods.

6. **Character Creation Wait**: After creating your character, wait for 2-5 minutes before starting play to allow scripts to finish executing.

7. **Guide Resources**: Refer to comprehensive guides and resources available on Nexus Mods and other community forums for detailed instructions and best practices.

Remember, modding can be complex, and it's important to follow these practices to ensure a stable and enjoyable gaming experience.
