SETUP[edit | edit source]

Start Fresh[edit | edit source]


The SkyRem Guide requires a freshly installed, never modified Skyrim Special Edition (Anniversary Edition) Version 1.6.1130.

Always start with a clean setup when starting or restarting any guide. Sometimes this is the only way to ensure there are no remnants from a previous modding experience gone awry, or left overs that will result in issues later. Unintended changes can happen to the base game files, no matter what is done to keep them untouched. If ever in doubt, start from scratch by removing, re-downloading, and re-installing. While this is a hassle, the last action prior to Step 1 below is to create a Backup in anticipation of needing to start over.

Make sure Steam is not in the Program Files directory. If it is, install it elsewhere. The ideal scenario is on a separate drive from the OS, preferably on a SSD drive. Having Steam installed in the Program Files can lead to issues during the modding process.

With a clean setup, create the INI files, turn off the Steam Overlay, and disable Automatic Updates in Steam as follows:

1. Launch Skyrim through Steam to complete setup of INI files, then exit the Skyrim Launcher (but keep Steam open).
2. Click [Steam] and [Settings] in the tool bar.
3. Click the [In-Game] tab and untick the [Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game], and click [OK].
4. Click [Library], right-click [Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition], and select [Properties].
5. Click the [Updates] tab, and under Automatic Updates, change the drop-down to [Only update this game when I launch it].

The Creation Kit (CK) will be needed to properly port mods. The CK can also be used to modify plugins and create new mods, though we will not be using these functions (out of scope of this guide). To get the CK:

1. Download and install Skyrim Special Edition: Creation Kit from Steam.
2. [Launch] the Creation Kit through Steam. When asked to if you want to unpack Scripts.zip, select [YES]. This may take a few minutes.
3. Once the scripts are unpacked and the CK completes loading, [Exit] the CK.
4. Navigate to the Skyrim Folder (where CreationKit.exe is now located), and create a new text file naming it CreationKitCustom.ini.
5. Copy and paste the lines in the following box into this file, save, and exit.
[General]
bAllowMultipleMasterFiles=1
bAllowMultipleMasterLoads=1

[MESSAGES]
bBlockMessageBoxes=1

Before beginning installation of the tools and mods, setup a folder structure to keep things organized. Currently, there should be a Steam folder that contains Steam and Skyrim SE. In the same folder in which Steam is located, create three more folders:

1. Navigate to the folder in which the Steam folder is located.
2. Create three new folders and name them Tools, Mod Organizer, and Backup.

The end result should look something like this:

This PC > Game (E:)
  Backup
  Mod Organizer
  Steam
  Tools

[Display]
iTintTextureResolution=2048

[General]
ClearInvalidRegistrations=1

Make A Backup[edit | edit source]


To prevent having to restart from scratch [again], this is a good time to create a complete backup of everything up to this point. If something goes wrong, this will be the restore point. Backup the entire /Steam/SteamApps/Common/Skyrim Special Edition/ folder, and place the archive in the Backup folder, naming it Skyrim Vanilla Backup. Do the same with the Mod Organizer folder and the Tools folder, resulting in 3 backup files in the Backup folder.

With setup complete, tools installed, and a proper working vanilla version of Skyrim, we can now move on to modding.
