Which skyrim is better to mod?

When Skyrim Special Edition launched, the script extender's absence meant that a lot of mods couldn't be used or ported over, so the original Skyrim remained the best version for anyone looking to spice up their game. It's been updated since then, thankfully, and now works with both editions.

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"

Can you use nexus mods and skyrim mods?
Once the download has completed, go to the mod tab in Nexus Mod Manager. Find the mod you downloaded, and click the puzzle button with the green arrow: "Activates the selected mod". Start Skyrim, and inside the 'Data Files' should be both the Workshop Mods and the Nexus mods. Make sure the Nexus mod is ticked.

Do skyrim mods cost money?
They're 100% free and made by the community. Just be aware that you only have 5 gigabytes of mod space, so you can only download 5 gigs of mods at a time. There's this separate thing called Creator's Club, which is basically Bethesda-sanctioned mods. Those do cost money.
