PART A: SETUP

Step 1: Start Fresh

The SkyRem Guide requires a freshly installed, never modified Skyrim Special Edition (Anniversary Edition) Version 1.6.1170.

Note: This guide includes the paid upgrade of AE, but is not required. Adjustments can be made to account for use without it. Checkpoint counts include everything.

If Steam is in the Program Files directory, install it elsewhere. The ideal scenario is on a SSD drive separate from the OS to avoid modding issues.

Starting with a clean setup helps ensure there are no remnants of a previous modding experience gone awry and prevent unintended results/issues with the final product. Restore vanilla from the Vanilla Backup (which is created at the end of the Setup) or remove, re-download, and re-install. If restoring, skip down to Step 4 of this part.

1. Delete the files in the Skyrim Special Edition folder.
2. Open Steam and click [Library].
3. Right-click The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition in the left pane and choose [Properties].
4. Under Installed Files, click [Verify integrity of game files] and allow Steam to reacquire the files.

Set up the base INIs and reacquire CC files as follows.

1. Launch Skyrim through Steam to initialize (create the base INI files). Accept the default settings as these will be adjusted later anyway.
2. Click [Download] when prompted to reacquire the CC content.
3. Close Skyrim (but leave Steam open).

Turning off the Steam Overlay and disabling updates are optional, but highly recommended to prevent accidental overlay popup and conflicts, and prevent updates that may render a modded Skyrim unplayable due to a patch/update from Bethesda that does not work with installed mods. While still in Steam:

1. Click [Steam] and [Settings] in the tool bar.
2. Click the [In-Game] tab and untick the [Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game], and close the Settings window.
3. Click [Library], right-click [Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition], and select [Properties].
4. Click the [Updates] tab, and under Automatic Updates, change the drop-down to [Only update this game when I launch it].

Setup a folder structure to keep things organized. Currently, there should be a Steam. In the same location, create three more folders: Mod Organizer, Backup and Tools. The end result should look something like this:

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

---

Step 2: Install Tools

For a properly modded Skyrim, a number of modding tools will be needed. These are not themselves mods, but tools to ensure everything works as intended once the guide is complete.

       4. In MO2, right-click in the mod list and select [All Mods] and [Create empty mod above] named Creation Kit Custom INI.
       5. Right-click this empty mod and [Open in Explorer].
       6. Create a new folder named Root.
       7. Inside this folder, create a new text file named CreationKitCustom.ini.

Step 3: Clean The Masters

Some vanilla files contain ITMs (Identical To Master) and UDRs (Undelete and Disable Record). These may be harmless, but some have reported issues if not cleaned. To do this, make a copy of the current ESM and ESL files in the Skyrim >> Data folder and place them in a safe place. The files in the original location will then be cleaned, packaged into a mod, and then replaced with the originals (copied to a safe place) in order to keep the entire Skyrim folder as vanilla as possible.

Do the masters really need to be cleaned with SE? There is plenty of opinions for and against. Cleaning them has never resulted in any negative effects, therefore this guide continues to include this step to be safe (and it makes LOOT happy).

1. Navigate to the Skyrim >> Data folder.
2. Copy and paste the ESL and ESM files (except Skyrim.ESM) to a temporary folder. There are a total of 79.
3. In MO2, click the [Tools] icon (puzzle icon) and select [Clean Plugins].
4. Click [Select All] and click [Clean].

This will run the SSEEdit QuickAutoClean function on each of the plugins, one at a time. SSEEdit will open, run, close, and repeat for each plugin. This may take a few minutes. Once completed, the Dawnguard plugin needs a few additional steps to properly clean.

1. Launch SSEEdit (not the QuickAutoClean) and load only Dawnguard.ESM.
2. Navigate in the left pane to: [Cell] >> [Block 5] >> [Sub-Block 3] >> [00016BCF].
3. Remove the XEZN record by right-clicking it under the [02] Dawnguard.esm header in the right pane and select [Remove].
4. Navigate in the left pane to: [Cell] >> [Block 2] >> [Sub-Block 1].
5. Right-click [0001FA4C] in the left pane and [Remove] the entire record.
6. Navigate in the left pane to: [Cell] >> [Block 8] >> [Sub-Block 1].
7. Right-click [Sub-Block 1] in the left pane and [Remove] the entire sub-block.
8. Exit SSEEdit, saving Dawnguard.ESM.

To preserve vanilla Skyrim, the cleaned plugins will be placed in a mod, and the originals that were stored in a temporary location moved back to the Skyrim >> Data folder.

1. Navigate to the Skyrim >> Data folder. Select the 79 plugins just cleaned (again, do not include Skyrim.ESM) and create an archive.
2. In MO2, click [Install a new mod from an archive] icon (second icon), and open this archive, naming the mod Cleaned Masters.
3. Move the original files from the temporary location back to the Skyrim >> Data folder, letting them overwrite the cleaned files.
4. Delete the archive file and the temporary location.

---

Step 4: Make A Backup

To prevent restarting from scratch [again], create a complete backup of everything up to this point. If something goes wrong, this will be the restore point, and steps 1-3 can be skipped. 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.

CHECKPOINT: A

COUNTS:
- Mods: +0 = 0
- Plugins: +80 = 80 (ESMs = 15, ESPs = 0, ESMs + ESPs = 15, ESLs = 65)

PART B: BASE

Step 5: Base Mods

Step 5 is about getting some base mods installed in order to get in game as soon as possible so that subsequent steps can be tested properly.
