GUIDE System Setup Guide - SSG

[krossbonzz]

Thank you again

[Daemoned]

Managed to use the whole STEP guide on GOG version 1179 where My games and similar other paths contains GOG.

MO2 supports this GOG version already, just I suggest using profile specific paths for inis, plugins and saves (like in TRA guide), then BethINI pie works with no args.

All other tools (xEdit, etc.) should have the GOG paths for ini, saves, profile, f.e. xEdit: -IKnowWhatImDoing -SSE -AllowMasterFilesEdit -I:"C:\Users\<user>\Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition GOG\Skyrim.ini" -P:"C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Skyrim Special Edition GOG\plugins.txt" -G:"C:\Users\<user>\Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition GOG\Saves"

 

And for Mods where FOMOD contains GOG 1179, you have to select it, instead of Steam 1170 as of STEP.

Final trick with RaceMenu, just check discussion for the mod on Nexus, there is a link to GOG 1179 racemenu version.

Good to know. The paths can be simplified with:

%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition GOG\

BethINI is aware of this path when launched via MO, no?

You would need to change the path I would expect.

The one with %USERPROFILE% is not working with xEdit!

And normally works if the whole path set I suggested above:

 

BethINI pie works with INIs saved in MO profiles. By default when you select the game SkyrimSE it tries to go to non-GOG folder, so you have at first correct the Setup path via menu Edit->Setup and set a proper path (it needs to be done once):

Once edited and saved by BethINI (f.e. change just resolution) you may check whether MO2 shows the changes in open INIs folder or in INI editor.
