Had this exact issue and I'm pretty inexperienced with xEdit, your explanation was perfect z929669. thank you!

The directory is correct now, it's in ...\Games\Steam\steamapps\common. Previously it was in Games\steamapps\common. Yeah I started over by deleting everything Skyrim-related from the documents folder, uninstalling Steam and uninstalling Mod Organizer.

I went ahead and started over with a clean install, and it worked. My best guess as to the problem is that there was some kind of glitch when I installed Steam. the "steamapps" folder wasn't in the "Steam" directory, but directly in the "Games" directory I'd created. Not sure how that happened since Steam doesn't let you change its install destination, but when I reinstalled it the path to the game directory was corrected. The only other difference I could find is that my first time through I really did not understand the SSE Display Tweaks instructions: I read the "-" as a dash, not a minus sign, and thought the instructions were to put 3 or 1 in the .ini file, not 141 or 59. It seemed weird but I was trying to follow the instructions to the letter and figured there was a good reason for it. I think it might be more helpful if the "(e.g., 144 Hz monitor should have 141 limit)" were really explicitly spelled out: I'm sure most people get it, but there might be one or two people like me who just don't understand. Cheers

Hello, I've followed the instructions for the SSE Anniversary Edition carefully (https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/SkyrimSE:2.0.0), the version I have. After installing the mods from Step 4 - 02 (Extenders), I tested the build by launching with SKSE, and it immediately crashed. I tried a couple more times before going back over the instructions, starting with the system setup guide. I haven't been able to find any step that I missed, and whatever I've been able to check in my build looks correct. Prior to adding any of the Step 4 - 02 Extenders, the game launched as normal from Steam. I launched in order to restore the Creation Club DLC, as per the "Restore Original Masters" section in Step 3. I went ahead and disabled every mod in the left pane, including the Cleaned Vanilla Masters, so that only the vanilla plugins were enabled. I then tried launching through Mod Organizer 2 using the Skyrim SSE launcher (not SKSE). It still CTD'd immediately. Launching the game through Steam still works fine. I've attached my latest crash log. I'm afraid I don't know how to read these, but after several failed attempts to launch the game I see there's an identical line at the top of every crash log: I went ahead and searched the forum for "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION" and found several threads that mention it, but none of them have run into the problem at after Step 4 - 02. Thanks in advance for your help! crash-2022-06-28-03-33-37.log
