Introduction and Summary
Welcome to Lexy's: Legacy of The Dragonborn Special Edition: the Special Edition version of my popular co-authored SRLE Extended Legacy of The Dragonborn. It is designed to be a full guide, taking you from a completely vanilla Skyrim SE experience to a fully modified game in all facets.
This guide is currently a Beta version, best suited for Testers and Experienced Modders.
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.
The Guide has been bench-marked and is currently using approximately Max 4.7GB on Darth's and Lexy's system during the Cart Ride to Helgen.
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.

Getting Started
Legend
Each mod is preceded by one (or more) of these tags for easier management of the guide:
- CORE- This mod is a full part of the guide and is expected to be installed.
- TOOLThis isn't a mod, but a modding utility to be used during your modding adventure.
- Optional- This mod is optional. This is an addition considered useful to the setup, but might be more of a personal preference.
- HQ- This mod is intended for users looking for a High-Quality visual experience who have a system able to display it properly. This doesn't necessarily mean it should be avoided at all cost by low-end system users, but simply that the performance hit might not be worth the visuals improvements on weaker machines.
- Patch Central- This tag represents patches for the mods we use in the guide that can be downloaded in our Nexus page.
- BSA Extracted- This tag represents mods whose BSA(s) is/are extracted into the mod's folder after mod installation, and then deleted after extraction.
- Classic- This tag represents mods that are downloaded from Classic Skyrim.
- Converted- This tag represents mods that have had their ESP converted to Form version 44 in the SSE Creation Kit 2.
- Nif Opt- This tag represents mods that need their meshes correctly processed by SSE Nif Optimizer.
- Merged- This tag represents mods whose ESPs have been merged to reduce the overall ESP count.
Prerequisites
Template:Notice Small Before we start modding Skyrim SE 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 are distributed with 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]. *(A quick way to do this is to type the first letter of the ESP's name until it appears in the window.)
- 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.
When Converting mods through the Creation Kit some will have masters that are esps but the Creation Kit requires these to be esms or flagged as esms. This can be achieved through a process called 'esmifiying' and is done using Wrye Bash:
- Open Wrye Bash
- Right click on the esp you wish to esmify.
- From the menu you should notice esmify self left click on it
- Exit Wrye Bash
- Close and Reopen Mod Organizer 2 to refresh it.
- Now you can open and save the esp you wish to convert in the Creation Kit.
Once the esp is converted you will need to re-espifiy the master through Wrye Bash:
- Open Wrye Bash
- Right click on the esp you esmifyed above.
- From the menu you should notice espifiy self left click on it.
- Exit Wrye Bash.
- Close and Reopen Mod Organizer 2 to refresh it.
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: 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.

This isn't much of a problem for the smaller less important weapons, but it is for the more important ones we receive as quest rewards or those that are tied to lore. 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

- Once it is loaded you should be asked to setup the new profile. If not click the Gear Icon in the tool bar at the top of Merge Plugin Standalone.

This GP video gives you a complete explanation of Merge Plugin Standalone. It's long, but it's worth watching, and some parts can be easily skipped via the video's navigation tabs.
Lexy's LOTD SE Merge Page defines all merges to be completed using Merge Plugins Standalone. These merges reduce the final plugin count and thus allow room for further expansion. Once Merged, and the Merge file is placed per directions, the mods can be deactivated in Mod Organizer's "Legacy Of The Dragonborn - Special Edition" profile.
