OKAY i found the issue, and to be honest, totally my fault. One of the mods on the Step list, Dragons Shout with Voice, had a patch that made sure the sound came from the correct space, so it didn't sound like the dragon was right next to you. This patch was using type 43 something, while SSE uses type 44. This was such a small error that I hadn't even considered it was an issue, but first thing I tried was uninstalling that mod... And it launched. Thank god for that :)

Okay, found enough time to play around 4 hours of SKSE on the default INI file, no crashes at all, again, seems to run pretty well through MO2, basically as if I were running SSE normally unmodded. Like before, I did test the game, did my saves, fast travelling, messing with physics bodies, ect, but nothing, not even frame loss

Okay, so yesterday I played around 5 hours on the Default INI file, no crashes, but as i'm getting ready to make lunch, the game blackscreens and crashes. I saved my game, fast traveled, did all the normal things, but honestly I think this was just my computer. For some unknown reason, my computer blackscreen's occasionally, not sure what causes it, but it causes most games with decent graphics to crash when I get sound+video back in a couple seconds. My drivers are up to date and i'm running two screens, VGA and HDMI, and they crash at the same time, so I don't think it's a faulty cable. I've even had to rebuild my PC into a new case for unrelated reasons, and the problem persisted through it. If anyone has any ideas about that, lmk... Regardless, I'll play for a few hours with SKSE, see what results I get. Thanks again for the help, I appreciate it

Okay, so when I try to run SSE from MO2, first a load box shows up that says "Preparing vfs" Promptly followed by "Mod Organiser is locked while the application is running. SkyrimSE.exe" That stays up for no more than 10 seconds before it all disappears, and MO2 reverts to before I clicked "run". Nothing appears in the log box at the bottom of the screen, the screen doesn't flash black when it fails, and Task Manager never shows Skyrim, so I don't believe it booted and crashed. When booting SKSE it's slightly different, everything in MO2 looks the same, but Task Manager shows that "a component of the Skyrim SE ..." Runs, followed by Skyrim itself, but again, after less than 10 seconds, it disappears and MO2 reverts to normal, as if I hadn't tried to run anything. Nothing in the logs. This doesnt occur when I select my vanilla Skyrim profile, which has no mods enabled, nor does it occur on my Oldrim game instance, which has 5 mods enabled. I've just seen the new 2.31 update file for MO2, so i'll update to it using the method you suggested I'm fairly certain my antivirus isn't to blame, as I disabled it while I attempted to boot the game, and the same issues occurred. I have MO2 as whitelisted as I know how to do, my antivirus is unfamiliar to me, so there may be a way to do more than I have, but considering the results of my test, I don't believe it to be the issue, yet EDIT: Updated from 2.3 to 2.3.1 using the method you suggested, went smoothly, however didn't change the results of booting SSE or SKSE, unfortunately

Okay, I found the correct SKSE folder, here is the skse64 folder contained within (There was a skee64 log also, not sure what that is, but confused me for a bit when I didn't see the difference) https://pastebin.com/G34cAY3R I did run the game's default launcher, like I said in the first post, the launchers did run fine outside of MO2, and since then I haven't made any changes to the game. As for MO2, I had 2.2-something, i had downloaded it literally the night before 2.3 became available, and I downloaded the update through the button at the top right of the screen, when the alert popped up it was available the next morning. I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what exactly you mean, 1. So you'd like a list of which mods I have require SKSE? 2. You may have to be more specific as to what you'd like to know, I don't think I know what isn't working, but I can try to answer any questions you have.

Which 3 are those files? Hopefully i've just somehow copied instead of cutting somewhere, regardless, thanks. I wasn't sure whether it had loaded through SSE before, but upon a check, it does the same booting from Skyrim Special Edition in MO2, as well as from the Skyrim Special Edition Launcher in MO2 :/

I'm not sure how best to take such a screenshot, sorry, but is this adequate? https://imgur.com/a/IeiC7nS

SKSE64 version 2.0.17, release odd 64, runtime 01050610

I've recently seen the videos on custom USB sounds and wondered how I could Skyrim-ify it. I was thinking a USB stick with a Meridia's Beacon end, that when you pull out exclaims "A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON" Not sure which of Meridia's voicelines to use when I put it in though :P Feel free to post your own ideas too!

I have been following the STEP guidelines, but I just checked over the SKSE page to make sure I didn't miss any steps, and I think I didn't. I have been launching Skyrim through MO2, through SKSE, but alas, doesn't boot. I've also reviewed the System Setup Guide, again to make sure it isn't user error at that level, but I've followed the modding folder guide, Steam is installed on my HDD with a game library on the SSD, which is where SSE is located, was a new installation of course. I haven't backed my game up (Stupid, ik, but shouldn't be an issue), I've configured my display driver, calibrated my display and disabled all overlays, so I'm sure the issue isn't here. And after a quick review of Step 1 and 2, I can be certain I've followed instructions as written, I haven't touched Step 5 just yet, as I had just finished my modlist, and was booting the game to make sure it ran, as the guide advises. Thanks for the quick reply!

Thanks for the reply, I actually ended up going back and creating the folder, but thanks for the clarification, it's just a small thing that kind of threw me off :)

I've deleted all my MO2 logs, booted MO2 and copied them, but I'm not familiar with MO2, so I don't know what the issue could be. My issue sounds very similar this issue posted to the forum; Hi, I haven't been able to get MO2 to load Skyrim SE using the SKSE loader. Both Skyrim and the loader work fine when used outside MO2 but when I try to open them inside the program it seems to think about it but doesn't start running them. There doesn't seem to be any error messages that I can see. Any ideas about what could be causing this or what I could do to fix it? https://forum.step-project.com/topic/14001-mo2-wont-load-skse/ Hopefully the issue isn't huge. Here's my usvfs file from the MO2 logs if that helps; https://pastebin.com/ejz40W65 Thanks anyway :)

Hi, I've just run into an issue while following the STEP guide, wanted to know if anyone with more knowledge could clear it up? Earlier in the guide, I opted to skip this step, under Tool Setup. (optional) Some people like to place tools like xEdit that output files into mod listings rather than the default Overwrite folder. Note that, like Overwrite, these 'mods' do not need to be ticked in the MO left pane. The optional steps to do this are indicated below: (optional) On the MO window, click the Open list options button at the top of the left pane, next to the profile selection drop-down. (optional) Choose Create empty mod, name it xEdit Output, and click 'OK'. Later on in the guide, having optionally not set up xEdit Output, the guide asks this, under Moving the Cleaned Files Cleaned Masters In MO, hold Ctrl and double-click on the Cleaned Vanilla Masters mod listing to open its mod folder. Now open a new Explorer window and navigate to the Skyrim Special Edition Data directory (e.g. ../Modding/Steam/steamapps/common/Skyrim Special Edition/Data) Cut and paste the four cleaned master files from Data to the Cleaned Vanilla Masters folder. In MO, hold Ctrl and double-click on the SSEEdit Output mod listing to open its mod folder. Now, I have no way to go through with this step, not marked (optional), so I'm at a standstill. Can someone help me? I'm not sure if I have to go back and make that xEdit Output file, and if so, how to move the edits i've already made while cleaning the master files to the new output folder
