Introduction and Summary
Welcome to Lexy's: Legacy of The Dragonborn Special Edition this guide is the Special Edition version of my popular co-authored SRLE Extended Legacy of The Dragonborn. This guide is designed to be a full guide, from a completely vanilla experience to a fully modified game in all facets.
This guide is currently a Work In Progress and as such considered a Pre-Alpha for Testers and Experienced Modders ONLY.
A little chat:
NOTE: This guide WILL take time to install and will require quite a bit of space. This guide also involves some more advanced modding concepts. I definitely suggest reading the full guide first and acquainting yourself with some of the tools you'll be using. Remember the final destination is to PLAY the game and enjoy it. Expect to take several sessions to get it all done from start to finish.
Please do not hesitate to come back to the forum topic - or the STEP forums in general - and ask questions and make suggestions. If there's ANYTHING you're not 100% sure of, please come in and ask us. I (Nozzer66), (Darth_mathias), (DarkladyLexy) and several other people with some experience will help to the best of our abilities.
With that said: It's time to get into the wonderful world of Skyrim Modding. We hope you'll find it pleasant.
SKSE 64 Alpha
I had been waiting for SKSE64 to come out of the Alpha stage, however, since its release the reports on its stability have been promising enough to include it in the guide.

Prerequisites
Template:Notice Small Before we start modding Skyrim we need to perform few steps to the game and set up some tools to work with during this adventure. You can find all the information on how to do this on this page -> Prerequisites Page. Do not skip this step.
Mod Installation Advice
Best advice when installing Lexy's: Legacy of The Dragonborn Special Edition is to test after each section, if you CTD or ILS after a section then you know something needs adjusting.
When installing mods it recommended to do the following:
Main Files + Updates + Hotfixes Install as one mod. (e.g Merge together in Mod Organizer 2) Optional Files - Install as separate mod in MO2. Miscellaneous files - Install as separate mod in MO2. Patches - Install as separate mod in MO2.
A Note On Extracting BSA's
This guide currently recommends Only extracting BSA's If they contain a dummy plugin or are part of a merge to reduce plugin count.
To extract a BSA Archive we will be utilizing the program Bethesda Archive Extractor (BSA and BA2) installed during the Prerequisites section.
I suggest watching this video by Micheal of GamerPoets to familiarize yourself on it's proper use.
A Note about Converting Old Plugins
Throughout the guide, there are a few plugins which are still using the old Form format from classic Skyrim. These plugins must be properly converted in the CK for Skyrim SE. Even though some of these mods are SE mods, this can sometimes result from creating plugins in xEdit and never running them through the CK. We will handle these issues now so that our patching, at the end of the guide, comes out clean.
Mods are tagged throughout the guide which require conversion. The instructions for converting these plugins are found below. Users can refer back to them as needed when running across the tag, or return here before starting the patching. There will be a warning to remind users to complete this step. The tag looks like so:
Resaving a plugin in the CK
Converting plugins is the simple part of the process. The basis of how this is down is below. I will provide more specifics for plugins where necessary.
- Ensure the Overwrite folder is empty.
- Run the CK from the executable drop-down menu.
- Select the File menu and choose [Data...].
- Find the plugin to be converted, and select [Set as Active File].
- Note the Parent Masters listed and ensure they are checked (double-click the plugin listing to check it).
- Click [OK] and allow the CK to load.
- Once complete, save the plug (icon on toolbar or File > Save).
- Close the CK and allow it to sit for a moment.
- More often than not, the CK will hang when closing. Click the close button a few times and Windows will allow you to force close it.
- The newly saved plugin will be located in the Overwrite folder in MO. Double-click the Overwrite folder to open it.
- Drag and drop the new plugin into the mod listing which it belongs to and close the Overwrite window.
Verifying the plugin with xEdit
The more terrifying part of converting plugins for most users will be giving it a checkup using SSEEdit (xEdit). This process is only daunting for users who are newbies to xEdit, itself. Once users learn xEdit a bit they start to realize it's a fairly easy to use program, which just so happens to grant the user a lot of power.
- Run SSEEdit from the executable drop-down menu.
- Right-click in the plugin pane and choose [Select None].
- Double-click on the new plug saved from the steps above and allow xEdit to load until the log says, "Background Loader: finished".
- Right-click on the last plugin in the left pane (it should be the new plugin), and select [Check for Errors].
- The check should come back clean reading, "All done!". If there are errors, the user will have to take steps to correct them before continuing to the next step.
- Right-click on the plugin again and choose, [Sort Masters].
- The last step is to clean the plugin as we did for the DLCs above.
- Close xEdit and be sure the plugin is checked in the saving prompt.
SSE Nif Optimizer
Throughout the guide, there are a few mods that will be downloaded from classic Skyrim containing meshes using the older format. These meshes must be properly converted using SSE Nif Optimizer for Skyrim Special Edition:
I suggest you consult this Video by Dirty Weasel Media on how best to use SSE Nif Optimizer.

Mod Notes: Skyrim's courier is an industrious young lad who can be seen all over the province, yet doesn't seem to have anywhere to live and/or work. He seems able to find the Dovahkiin at will, but what if the player wanted to find HIM? Even if it would be a meaningless encounter, one should still expect a living breathing NPC that takes part in the world to have some place to work at and call home. No longer will the poor courier simply be dragged from his mystery cell and dropped in front of the player to make his deliveries. Thus is born the Provincial Courier Service.

Mod Notes: The Legacy of the Dragonborn is steeped in prophecy, myth, legend and history itself. Explore forgotten lore and uncover the lost relics of the 7 Dragonborn of the bygone eras of Tamriel. From those merely mentioned in title to those who wielded the power of the voice, many legendary and influential people held the title of “Dragonborn” and they all link to the lost covenant of Akatosh.
“Legacy of the Dragonborn” is a MASSIVE addition which will change the way you play Skyrim forever. Meet the curator Auryen Morellus at the museum in Solitude and he will help guide you in your quest to gather the many relics of Tamriel's history as well as provide a fully equipped player home and many many more quests as well. As you display relics you will unlock more history and lore as you encounter new challenges, meet new NPCs and embark to establish your own guild, "The Explorer's Society".
Aim to explore and discover lost places, artifacts and history, build the guild house from the ground up as the guild master, then recruit new members, each with their own unique back stories and special guild functions. Explore ruins and excavate relic fragments to re-assemble into artifacts to display in the museum. Set up a guild store with the quartermaster and much more.

Mod Notes: This mod is a simple yet immersive mod which expands on the number of graves given to the unique NPCs in areas of the game that don't currently have them. Solitude, Windhelm, Whiterun, Riften, and Markarth all have a Hall of the Dead that contains coffins and urns for various unique NPCs who live there. Their items are transferred to their assigned coffin when they die. The smaller cities of Falkreath, Morthal, Dawnstar, and Winterhold do not have these facilities, and neither do the other smaller villages and towns. NPCs living on farms outside the major hold capitols don't get buried in their Hall of the Dead either. This mod aims to correct this and provide for more uniform handling of everyone's dead. Falkreath and Morthal both have graveyards already and have been expanded slightly to hold more. Dawnstar, Winterhold, and the smaller villages all have space set aside for new graveyards. NPCs living on farms immediately outside the 5 major hold capitols will be given appropriate burial space in the Hall of the Dead for their city if they don't already have it.

Unique Uniques is an on going project that aims to fix this and give the unique weapons a unique appearance. The new designs for the weapons are based on established lore for either the weapon itself or the character wielding it, my own ideas have been mixed in too.

- Open Merge Plugin Standalone.
- Click the big plus symbol Create New Profile.
- Name the new profile Lexy's LOTD SE
- Path: This is where SkyrimSE.exe is on your system so for me it's (H:\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\).
- Once loaded you will be asked to setup the new profile If not click the Gear Icon in the tool bar at the top.
- Setup as per SRLE Base Instructions which can be found HERE.
Check this Pictures on how to setup Merge Plugin Standalone: Here
Check this video here: HERE for a full explanation. It's long, but it's worth watching, and some parts can be easily skipped via the video's navigation tabs.
This section will define merges to be completed using Merge Plugins Standalone. These merges reduce the final plugin count and thus allow room for further expansion. Once Merged the mods can be deactivated in Mod Organizer.
