Disclaimer:
This guide was originally assembled using Journals of Jyggalag as the reference list.
While the instructions apply across all Modding Bordello modlists, some screenshots, plugin orders, or plugin numbers may differ slightly between lists. The core process and steps remain the same.
This modlist comes preconfigured with a complete controller setup using a curated selection of mods — including Layout 406, Wheeler, Gamepad++, and others — to deliver a modern, responsive Skyrim controller experience.
These mods are disabled by default in any Modding Bordello list.
Where to Get More Info
For more information on each controller mod:
- Open Mod Organizer 2
- Right-click any controller-related mod
- Click "Visit Nexus" — each mod page provides additional customization and compatibility information
Default Layout
By default, the controller is mapped according to Layout 406:
You can view this layout anytime at:
Journals of Jyggalag\mods\Complete Controller Setup\Layout 406.jpg
Customizing the Controller Setup
If you'd like to change how the controls are mapped:
- In MO2, find
Complete Controller Setupin your left panel - Right-click it > Reinstall
- The FOMOD will launch again and let you choose alternate configurations
Note: The current layout was hand-picked for compatibility with other mods in the list. Changing the setup may require adjusting other settings. This falls under Rule 11 — changes are at your own risk.
Wheeler Setup

- Visit the Wheeler Nexus Page for in-depth usage instructions.
- Refer to the diagram above for default button assignments.
In-game: Press the
Homekey on your keyboard to open dMenu, which provides Wheeler customization options such as wheel behavior and slot assignment.
The controller layout image (Layout 406.jpg) will update in MO2 based on any changes you make in the FOMOD.
