Dear paul666root, dear jdsmith 2816, After the installation of the Skyrim Special Edition and investing about 30 hours into it I got the feeling that the original Skyrim is too easy. Merely changing the difficulty to a higher grade hardly seemed plausible due to the meat-bagging it ends up to be eventually. My search for a more immersive experience lead me to your guide. First of all thank you very much for this marvelous and extensive guide! I feel really embarrassed by the following issue I am encountering on my way to YASHing up my Skyrim. In the pre-merging step I downloaded the load order you provided and what I end up with is the following: https://pastebin.com/59PFRMjA It's a far stretch---but could you point me into the right directions with regards to what I did wrong? I tried to follow your guide but as the installation is a multi day project for me, I am sure I missed something. Just out of curiosity---is there some kind of bash or Python script that could ease the process of installing Skyrim all YASH'd up? Maybe I could help with that... With best regards, ZeeD26
