Why are my skyrim mods not working?
Make sure you've downloaded the Latest Version of the mod. Make sure you've properly installed SKSE and SkyUI. Make sure you aren't using Incompatible Mods. First try disabling then re-enabling the mod by going to MCM > General and unchecking "Enabled"

Do mods violate copyright?
However, courts in the United States have held that modders are restricted from claiming copyright over their creation, even after putting in hard work for creating such a mod. Thus, modders cannot assert ownership over their work and cannot legally profit without infringing the game owner's copyright.

Can game mods be copyrighted?
Copyright laws
At their core, game mods are derivative works. A modification needs to run on the original work in order for the mod itself to work. As a game modder, you own some limited copyrights in what you created but what you created is likely copyright infringement.
