What is SkyRem? '''''Skyrim Roleplay Enhancement Modding''''' is an attempt to give back to the community, or at least contribute in some way, both through mods and this guide. The SkyRem concept: Enhance the Skyrim experience by incorporating elements of strategic roleplay that works seamlessly with the base (vanilla) game. While this began with the desire to tweak character creation, it has since grown into two (currently) series of mods and this guide.
=== {{Fc|White|Start Fresh}} ===
-----
The SkyRem Guide assumes a freshly installed, never modified {{Fc|Orange|Skyrim Special Edition Version 1.5.97}}.


There are many guides available already, with different focuses, different objectives, and varying degrees of difficulty (both difficulty of game and difficulty of guide). This guide  is a result of countless hours playing with mods, adding, removing, tweaking, combing through category by category on the Nexus, reading and researching. Every mod considered for the guide is done so based on the mods ability to enhance at least one of the following areas without being a detriment to any of the other areas lore:
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 your base game files, no matter what you do to keep them untouched. If ever in doubt, start from scratch by removing, re-downloading, and re-installing. While this is a hassle to say the least, the last action prior to Step 1 below is to create a {{Fc|White|Backup}} in anticipation of needing to start over. I strongly discourage skipping this task.
{{Fc|Orange|Stability}}, {{Fc|Orange|Content}}, {{Fc|Orange|Mechanics}}, and {{Fc|Orange|Aesthetics}}.


While not intended to be a difficulty or beautification guide by design, it can be argued that difficulty is incorporated simply by the nature of the roleplay focus and modifications. The intent of the guide goes far beyond just making Skyrim more difficult. As for beautification - there are plenty of mods specifically for this included in the guide, but is not the primary focus. These have incorporated in a way that will make it easy to add / remove / substitute based on preference (or system capabilities).  
Make sure {{Fc|Orange|Steam}} is not in your {{Fc|Orange|Program Files}} directory. If it is, install it elsewhere. The ideal scenario is on a separate drive from your OS, preferably on a SSD drive. Having Steam installed in your Program Files can lead to issues during the modding process.


SkyRem may be best suited to those with some degree of modding experience (beginners beware). Having said that, as SkyRem continues to develop based on suggestions / questions / requests, more detailed info will be included. While not intended to be a hold-your-hand guide, the goal is to allow any level of modder to be able to complete the guide successfully.
With a clean setup, {{Fc|Orange|create your INI files}}, {{Fc|Orange|turn off the Steam Overlay}}, and {{Fc|Orange|disable Automatic Updates}} in Steam as follows:


A few words of caution:
1. {{ui|Launch}} Skyrim through Steam to complete setup of INI files, then {{ui|Exit}} the Skyrim Launcher (but keep Steam open).
  - Read this Home Page thoroughly to decide if this is the setup for you before beginning - save yourself some time by knowing what you are getting into.
  2. Click {{ui|Steam}} and {{ui|Settings}} in the tool bar.
  - Complete the guide as-is first and ensure everything is working before making personal changes (with the exception of visual mods).
  3. Select the {{ui|In-Game}} tab and uncheck the {{ui|Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game}}, and click {{ui|OK}}.
  - Most issues are due to skipping a step, missing a tag, or not following notes precisely. The guide contains a lot of information and it is easy to miss something.
  4. Navigate to your {{ui|Library}}, right-click {{ui|Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition}} and select {{ui|Properties}}.
  - Do not rush. Doing so will likely only result in a waste of time and sanity.
5. Navigate to the {{ui|Updates}} tab, and under {{ui|Automatic Updates}}, change the drop-down to {{ui|Only update this game when I launch it}}.
  6. {{ui|Exit}} Steam.


While updates will be made as frequently as necessary to fix issues and/or provide needed clarification, there will be times of guide inactivity. The intent is to create a modded Skyrim, and play. It is easy to get caught in a perpetual cycle of updating > testing > repeat. The same goes for maintaining a guide. Do not forget to enjoy the game!
For the purpose of this guide, the Creation Kit (CK) will be needed to properly port mods from Legendary Edition (LE) to Special Edition (SE). The CK can also be used to modify plugins and create new mods, though we will not be using it for these functions (out of scope of this guide). If you do not have the CK, or if you are starting with a fresh install:


=== {{Fc|White|SYSTEM INFO}} ===
1. Download and install [https://download.cdp.bethesda.net/BethesdaNetLauncher_Setup.exe Bethesda.net Launcher].
[https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/User:DrPharmDawg/SystemSpecs DrPharmDawg's Rig]
2. {{ui|Launch}} Bethesda.net and click the {{ui|CK Icon}} on the side bar.
3. {{ui|Launch}} the CK - when asked to {{Fc|Orange|Extract scripts}} (or unpack), click {{ui|YES}}. This may take a few minutes. When done, exit CK.
4. Navigate to the Skyrim Folder - you should see the CreationKit.exe now. Create a new text file and name it {{Fc|Orange|CreationKitCustom.ini}}.
5. Copy and paste the lines in the following box into this file, save, and exit.


== {{Fc|White|GUIDE INFO}} ==
[General]
The guide is arranged as follows: Sections (Home Page, I, II, III, Final Steps) >> Steps (1, 2, 3) >> Parts (A, B, C)
bAllowMultipleMasterFiles=1
* Home Page: Introduction, guide info, and some basic "how to's" and troubleshooting.
bAllowMultipleMasterLoads=1
* Section I: Primarily focuses on Stability - Fresh install, tools and INIs, cleaning masters, SKSE plugins, and getting your base game ready. Includes mods for Interface and Fixes.
* Section II: Mechanics and Content - Environment, Creatures, and Quest mods.
[MESSAGES]
* Section III: More Mechanics and Content - Characters, Locations, Equipment, Immersion, and Audio mods.
bBlockMessageBoxes=1
* Section IV: Aesthetics - Visual mods not covered in previous Sections. Completely optional mods that can be added/removed based on preference (and your rig's abilities).
* Final Steps: Patching and in-game setup, such as recommended MCM settings, and tips on how to start your SkyRem adventure.
* Changelog: Check here for changes made during each version update.


This guide provides:
Until the Creation Kit Fixes mod is updated to the newest CK release, download and replace the CreationKit.exe with this one:==== [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1itIM7cbDFPg78BH3io0E8kMmsYOviYfG/view Creation Kit EXE]
* A stable and performance friendly setup.
* Installation directions and instructions for using various modding tools and techniques.
* Patches to make mods included work together (via Nexus).
* Support via Discord and regular updates.


This guide does not include:
Before beginning installation of the tools and mods, setup a folder structure to keep things organized. Currently, you have a Steam folder that contains Steam and Skyrim SE. In the same folder in which Steam is located, create three more folders:
* Dead Mods: Mods that need updating or mods with excessive (or unanswered) bug reports/comments without simple solutions.
* CBBE: What little I do in this regard is UNP.
* 4k+ Textures: Whenever possible, I use 1k and 2k at the most. There are a few exceptions if <4k is unavailable.
* Player Homes: I feel the vanilla options and those provided by Quest mods are sufficient.


=== {{Fc|White|Guide Organization}} ===
1. Navigate to the folder in which your {{Fc|Orange|Steam}} folder is located.
As stated above, the guide is arranged as follows: Section >> Step >> Part
2. Create three new folders and name them {{Fc|Orange|Tools}}, {{Fc|Orange|Mod Organizer}}, and {{Fc|Orange|Backup}}.
These three levels are used to organize the guide into increasingly smaller and more specific groups of information and mods.
In addition to this three tier approach, mods are further distinguished (by outline color) as follows:
'''{{Fc|Red|Red}}''': Required as they are '''''key''''' to the concept of SkyRem, or needed by the provided patches as a Master.
'''{{Fc|Blue|Blue}}''': Recommended because they '''''build''''' on the concept of SkyRem, but not required for the aforementioned reasons.
'''{{Fc|Green|Green}}''': Optional as they only contribute to the appearance or minor changes of your game (and not '''''baked''''' into saves). Add/remove as you wish, or per your rig's abilities.
'''{{Fc|Yellow|Yellow}}''': Mods currently in the guide primarily for testing purposes (not necessarily accepted for the guide yet). Use at your own risk.


=== {{Fc|White|Mod Legend}} ===
You should have a folder (root) that looks something like this:
Each mod "card" utilizes this template:
This PC > Game (E:)
  Backup
  Mod Organizer
  Steam
  Tools

{{Fc|White|Install:}} Install in the {{Fc|Orange|Tools}} folder.
 
{{Fc|White|Setup:}} Do NOT run BethINI inside MO (do not setup an executable). MO should be completely closed before running BethINI.
        Under the first tab (Setup), make sure the correct profile is selected under {{Fc|Orange|INI Path}}. If not, select it and allow BethINI to reload.
        1. Under the Basic tab, click the {{ui|Default}} button to load the Default settings.
        2. Click the {{ui|Medium}} button to load the Medium settings.
        3. Select {{Fc|Orange|BethINI Presets}} and check the {{Fc|Orange|Recommended Tweaks}} options.
        4. Set the remaining tabs up as pictured below.

=== {{Fc|White|Additional INI Settings}} ===
-----
With the base Skyrim.INI and SkyrimPrefs.INI set, find the {{Fc|Orange|SKSE Scripts}} in MO2's left pane, right-click, and select {{ui|Open in Explorer}}.
Create a new folder named {{ui|SKSE}} and open it. Create a file and name it {{Fc|Orange|SKSE.INI}}. Copy and paste the following into the new file, save and close.

=== {{Fc|White|Cleaning The Masters}} ===
-----
The following procedure will clean your master files (or other files that require cleaning). This process will be used several times through the modding process.
Typically, you will not need to back up anything, but for the purpose of keeping your Skyrim folder as clean (and vanilla) as possible, we will be doing this here.
 
1. Copy and paste to the desktop the {{Fc|Orange|Update.ESM}}, {{Fc|Orange|Dawnguard.ESM}}, {{Fc|Orange|Hearthfire.ESM}}, and {{Fc|Orange|Dragonborn.ESM}} files in the Skyrim/Data folder (this is temporary).
2. In MO, use the Executables drop-box to select {{ui|SSEEdit QuickAutoClean}} and and click {{ui|Run}}.
3. Select '''''ONLY''''' the {{Fc|Orange|Update.ESM}} and click {{ui|Run}}.
4. Once you see the message '''''Quick Clean mode finished''''', you can exit.
5. Restart {{ui|SSEEdit QuickAutoClean}} and repeat for each of the remaining 3 ESMs above. Complete one at a time.
 
Complete cleaning of Dawnguard
 
1. Launch {{ui|SSEEdit}} (not the QuickAutoClean) and load only Dawnguard.ESM.
2. Navigate in the left pane to: {{ui|Cell}} >> {{ui|Block 5}} >> {{ui|Sub-Block 3}} >> {{ui|00016BCF}}.
3. Remove the {{ui|XEZN}} record by clicking on it in the right pane and selecting {{ui|Remove}}.
4. Navigate in the left pane to: {{ui|Cell}} >> {{ui|Block 2}} >> {{ui|Sub-Block 1}}.
5. Right click {{ui|0001FA4C}} in the left pane and {{ui|Remove}} the entire record.
6. Navigate in the left pane to: {{ui|Cell}} >> {{ui|Block 8}} >> {{ui|Sub-Block 1}}.
7. Right click {{ui|0006C3B6}} in the left pane and {{ui|Remove}} the entire record.
8. Exit SSEEdit, saving Dawnguard.ESM.
 
Create a {{Fc|Orange|Cleaned Masters}} mod and move the Vanilla files back to the Data folder.
 
1. Navigate to the Data folder with the files you just cleaned. Select these 4 files and create an archive.
2. In MO2, click {{ui|Install a new mod from an archive}} icon (second icon), and open the archive you just created. Name the mod {{Fc|Orange|Cleaned Masters}}.
3. Move the backup files back to your Data folder (overwrite), and delete the archive in the Data folder.
 
If you open MO2 now, you should see the {{Fc|Orange|SKSE Scripts}} and {{Fc|Orange|Cleaned Masters}} mods in the left pane.
 
=== {{Fc|White|Make A Backup}} ===
-----
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 your restore point. Backup the entire {{Fc|Orange|/Steam/SteamApps/Common/Skyrim Special Edition/}} folder, and place the archive in your {{Fc|Orange|Backup}} folder, naming it {{Fc|Orange|Skyrim Vanilla Backup}}. I also recommend doing the same for your {{Fc|Orange|Mod Organizer}} folder and your {{Fc|Orange|Tools}} folder, resulting in 3 backup files in the {{Fc|Orange|Backup}} folder.

=== {{Fc|White|Installing Mods}} ===
==== {{Fc|Red|Undiscovered Means Unknown - Map Markers}} ====
A few notes on installing mods:
<div style="border:2px solid Red; margin:5px;background-color:#201010; border-radius:15px">
* Unless otherwise noted, download mods via the {{ui|MOD MANAGER DOWNLOAD}} button on the Nexus.
* Download: [https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/9762/? Nexus]
* Unless otherwise noted, select {{ui|Merge}} when prompted if installing multiple files for a single mod.
* Author: Brin_aSair
* When updating a mod, select {{ui|Replace}}. If updating multiple files from a single mod, use {{ui|Replace}} for the first file, and {{ui|Merge}} for subsequent files of the same mod.
* Version: 2.11
* Once installed, activate each mod, one at a time, as you go, in the order of the guide. This is critical for the desired result, as well as for the patches to work correctly.
{{Fc|White|MAIN FILE:}} ''Undiscovered Means Unknown - Compass and Map Markers''
* Do not activate multiple mods at one time (select multiple mods, right-click, activate). While possible, this can lead to issues with correct mod/plugin orders even with LOOT.

=== {{Fc|White|Testing}} ===
==== {{Fc|Green|SkyUI The Adventurer Theme Mod SE}} ====
The worst outcome: Complete a guide and load up your game only to find a game-breaking issue. Testing is strongly recommended [required].
<div style="border:2px solid Green; margin:5px;background-color:#102010; border-radius:15px">
* There are {{Fc|Orange|'''Step Checks'''}} throughout the guide. Be sure to review all the information in these before moving to the next step.
* Download: [https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/35568/? Nexus]  
* In the event something goes wrong (CTDs, ILRs), work backwards starting in the Step you just completed by deactivating a few mods at a time and retesting.
* Author: ElSopa
* If you find a mod having issues, double check the mod's card for proper installation. Sometimes, a simple reinstall is all that is needed.
* Version: 1.0
* Expect some "issues" along the way with the Step checks. Sometimes these issues are not addressed until a later Step.

=== {{Fc|White|Difficulty}} ===
== {{Fc|White|STEP 3: FIXES}} ==


SkyRem is not designed to be a "difficulty" setup. However, by the nature of many of the mods used it offers a more challenging experience. Combat needs more strategy. Adventuring requires more planning. NPCs act and react more realistically. Character development is more dynamic. While you can play SkyRem on any difficulty, keep in mind that the vanilla difficulty settings impact (primarily) how much damage you deal and receive, but may have little to no impact on other functions altered by the mods included.

You will not be able to rush up to a group of 10 bandits and hack and slash your way through. Setting out on a quest ill prepared without food, water, tent, tools, etc. can lead you to a quick demise or inability to perform some tasks. Making choices regarding Attributes, Abilities, and Perks without giving thought to how you want to build your character may result in a character fated for failure.

<div style="border:2px solid Red; margin:5px;background-color:#201010; border-radius:15px">
- Skill leveling is capped by your character Level. You cannot reach Skill 100 at low levels. If you see a skill is no longer advancing, level up again.
* Download: [https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/659/? Nexus]
- Leveling will not provide a set 10 points to H/M/S. You may receive a bonus to stats based on your attributes, but primarily stats increase based on how you play.
* Author: Brumbek
- The previous applies to carry weight as well. Your CW increase at level up is 100% dependent on your attributes.
* Version: 2.08
  - As with Vanilla, you will gain 1 perk each level, but at every 15 levels you will gain an additional perk (2 perks at levels 15, 30, 45, etc)

<div style="border:2px solid Blue; margin:5px;background-color:#101020; border-radius:15px">
Note that LOOT will identify plugins that need to be cleaned and keep a tally by the {{Fc|Orange|Dirty Plugins}} header near the top. If this number is anything other than 0, scroll through your mods in the right pane and find which mod(s) require(s) cleaning and take the necessary steps. Also research any {{Fc|Orange|Errors}} noted. The {{Fc|Orange|Warnings}} can be ignored as they pertain to compatibility which is largely addressed later in the guide.

{{User:DrPharmDawg/Tag|Bsa}}
<div style="border:2px solid Green; margin:5px;background-color:#102010; border-radius:15px">
Mods tagged with {{Fc|Orange|BSA}} contain at least one BSA (Bethesda Archive files) that needs to be unpacked. A BSA contains various assets that need to be extracted from the archive in order to work as intended by the guide. There are several options to extract a BSA file.
* Download: [https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/21027/? Nexus]
* Author: Elzee
* Version: 1.17
* {{User:DrPharmDawg/Tag|Patch}}
{{Fc|White|MAIN FILE:}} ''Unofficial Material Fix''
{{Fc|White|OPT FILE:}} ''Unofficial Material Fix - High Poly Project patch''


  Allow MO2 to extract BSAs during install:
  {{Fc|White|Note:}} Hide {{Fc|Orange|meshes/traps/pedestaltrap/trapnorpedestal01.nif}}.
  - Open the {{Fc|Orange|Configure settings and workarounds}} (wrench and driver icon) and go to the {{ui|Plugins}} tab.
{{Fc|White|Note:}} Install the Optional File(s) as a separate mod and name it {{Fc|Orange|Unofficial Material Fix - Patches}}. Do not activate this mod yet.
  - In the upper-left window, click {{ui|BSA Extractor}}.
</div>
  - In the window directly to the right, update {{ui|enabled}} to {{ui|true}}.
With this set to true, any mod you install that contains a BSA will prompt you whether to extract it or not. If a mod is tagged with BSA, select {{ui|Yes}}. If not, select {{ui|No}}. The downside to this method is you have to remember to turn this on and off, or you have to answer the prompt every time a mod is installed containing a BSA, the majority of which you do not need to extract. I prefer to keep it enabled and sacrifice the time of one additional click.


Extract BSA within MO2:
==== {{Fc|Blue|Dlizzio's Mesh Fixes}} ====
  - Click the {{ui|Archives}} tab in the right pane.
<div style="border:2px solid Blue; margin:5px;background-color:#101020; border-radius:15px">
  - Locate the BSA you want to extract. Right-click it and select {{ui|Extract}}.
* Download: [https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/39260/? Nexus]
  - Navigate to the location you want to extract the BSA (extract to the mods folder).
* Author: Dlizzio
  - Delete the BSA.
* Version: 2.0
This option is good as you do not have to remember to turn a setting on/off or constantly be asked, but the navigating to the mods folder can be even slower, and you must delete/hide the BSA afterwards.

One of the most common causes of CTDs - Meshes. This step needs to be done with any mod flagged {{Fc|Orange|CAO}}. Generally this is due to NIF files (mesh files) that need to be optimized to be used with SSE (particularly, but not exclusively, LE mods containing NIFs).

On rare occasions, you may need to change a Master from one plugin to another. While not currently necessary as of v5, it has been needed in the past when the name of a plugin is changed and a patch requiring that plugin has not been updated to reflect the new name. This is currently the only process for which Wrye Bash is required with this guide.
<div style="border:2px solid Red; margin:5px;background-color:#201010; border-radius:15px">
- In MO2, launch {{Fc|Orange|Wrye Bash}} in the executables drop-down box and click {{ui|Run}}.

=== {{Fc|White|Game Won't Start}} ===
{{Fc|White|Note:}} Hide {{Fc|Orange|'''''RDO - USSEP Patch.esp'''''}}.
If you are experiencing an issue with MO2 locking, loading the VFS, and instantly unlocking without a game start, you most likely have a Missing Master. Check the right pane for any errors (! in a red and white triangle). Roll your mouse over any mod(s) with this symbol and check if any plugins are listed under the '''''Missing Masters''''' section of the pop-up.


=== {{Fc|White|Splash Screen Loads, But No Menu}} ===
{{Fc|White|Note:}} Use {{ui|SSEdit}} to add {{Fc|Orange|Relationship Dialogue Overhaul.esp}} as a {{ui|Master}} for {{Fc|Orange|RDO - CRF + USSEP Patch.esp}}.
Some problems may manifest as an infinite menu - the game appears to launch, you see the splash screen, but the menu never shows up.
The most common reason this has occurred with the guide is an issue with merges - most prominently with the provided NPC Patch and/or SkyRem Patch. These patches require certain mods to "win" over others in the merges (Merged Creatures, Merged Equipment, Merged Patches, etc).
You must first identify the offending merge by using SSEEdit to {{Fc|Orange|Check for Errors}} on the NPC/SkyRem Patch. If errors appear, locate the merge causing the issue by using the first two characters of the FormID. Once identified, use zEdit to rebuild this merge, making sure the necessary plugins are present and in the correct order (use the Merged ... sections as a reference). You may also want to revisit {{Fc|Orange|Step I}} to ensure zEdit is setup correctly, and the {{Fc|Orange|Merge Mods}} section of this {{Fc|Orange|How To}} to check your zEdit options (such as the {{Fc|Orange|Use game load order}} option being set in each merge).
While some of these issues may result in a stable game, just with inconsistencies based on the intended result, some can cause the game to not load properly if the patch is looking for a record that has an error due to the wrong mod in the merge winning over the one intended based on load order.


=== {{Fc|White|Crashing (CTDs)}} ===
{{Fc|White|Note:}} Only {{Fc|Orange|ESL}} the {{Fc|Orange|RDO - CRF + USSEP Patch.esp}} plugin.
The most common reason for experiencing CTDs with the guide: Improperly porting LE mods and failing to optimize mesh files with CAO. During the Step Checks, if you experience CTDs, the first step is to review the Part of the guide you just completed for any {{Fc|Orange|CAO}} and {{Fc|Orange|Port}} tags to ensure these were completed correctly. This has fixed the vast majority of CTD issues reported. Mods most commonly reported for this:
</div>
* Extended UI
* Enhanced Skyrim Factions - The Companions Guild
* Thieves Guild Requirements


=== {{Fc|White|Face Bugs}} ===
==== {{Fc|Red|Relationship Dialogue Overhaul - Update and MCM}} ====
In short, Face Bugs occur when one mod changes the appearance of a NPC, then another mod changes another aspect of the same NPC and ends up overwriting the appearance changes. This is a very over-simplified explanation, but should suffice in helping resolve any face-bugs. If you notice a face-bug, revisit Step 4 Part C and check your Load Order to ensure the mods are in the correct order (left pane).

Follow the guide - the messages, errors, warnings, and anything else LOOT throws your way will be handled as we go. In many cases, these will not go away until the {{Fc|Orange|Final Steps}} where much of the patching is completed. LOOT is a fantastic tool to help get your load order right - this is its main function and the primary reason we use it in the guide. Anything else you see in LOOT is added based on mod author/user feedback. While great at pointing you in the right direction for cleaning, incompatibilities, etc... all of this has been handled within the guide even if not explicitly stated.

Section I

SETUP[edit | edit source]

Start Fresh[edit | edit source]

The SkyRem Guide assumes a freshly installed, never modified Skyrim Special Edition Version 1.5.97.

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 your base game files, no matter what you do to keep them untouched. If ever in doubt, start from scratch by removing, re-downloading, and re-installing. While this is a hassle to say the least, the last action prior to Step 1 below is to create a Backup in anticipation of needing to start over. I strongly discourage skipping this task.

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

With a clean setup, create your 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. Select the [In-Game] tab and uncheck the [Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game], and click [OK].
4. Navigate to your [Library], right-click [Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition] and select [Properties].
5. Navigate to the [Updates] tab, and under [Automatic Updates], change the drop-down to [Only update this game when I launch it].
6. [Exit] Steam.

For the purpose of this guide, the Creation Kit (CK) will be needed to properly port mods from Legendary Edition (LE) to Special Edition (SE). The CK can also be used to modify plugins and create new mods, though we will not be using it for these functions (out of scope of this guide). If you do not have the CK, or if you are starting with a fresh install: 

1. Download and install Bethesda.net Launcher.
2. [Launch] Bethesda.net and click the [CK Icon] on the side bar.
3. [Launch] the CK - when asked to Extract scripts (or unpack), click [YES]. This may take a few minutes. When done, exit CK.
4. Navigate to the Skyrim Folder - you should see the CreationKit.exe now. Create a new text file and name 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

Until the Creation Kit Fixes mod is updated to the newest CK release, download and replace the CreationKit.exe with this one:==== Creation Kit EXE

Before beginning installation of the tools and mods, setup a folder structure to keep things organized. Currently, you have 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 your Steam folder is located.
2. Create three new folders and name them Tools, Mod Organizer, and Backup.

You should have a folder (root) that looks something like this: 

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

       2. Click the [Medium] button to load the Medium settings.
       3. Select BethINI Presets and check the Recommended Tweaks options.

       7. Return to the Basic tab and click [Save and Exit].

Additional INI Settings[edit | edit source]

With the base Skyrim.INI and SkyrimPrefs.INI set, find the SKSE Scripts in MO2's left pane, right-click, and select [Open in Explorer]. Create a new folder named [SKSE] and open it. Create a file and name it SKSE.INI. Copy and paste the following into the new file, save and close. 

[Display]
iTintTextureResolution=2048

[General]
ClearInvalidRegistrations=1

Cleaning The Masters[edit | edit source]

The following procedure will clean your master files (or other files that require cleaning). This process will be used several times through the modding process. Typically, you will not need to back up anything, but for the purpose of keeping your Skyrim folder as clean (and vanilla) as possible, we will be doing this here. 

1. Copy and paste to the desktop the Update.ESM, Dawnguard.ESM, Hearthfire.ESM, and Dragonborn.ESM files in the Skyrim/Data folder (this is temporary).
2. In MO, use the Executables drop-box to select [SSEEdit QuickAutoClean] and and click [Run].
3. Select ONLY the Update.ESM and click [Run].
4. Once you see the message Quick Clean mode finished, you can exit.
5. Restart [SSEEdit QuickAutoClean] and repeat for each of the remaining 3 ESMs above. Complete one at a time.

Complete cleaning of Dawnguard 

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 clicking on it in the right pane and selecting [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 [0006C3B6] in the left pane and [Remove] the entire record.
8. Exit SSEEdit, saving Dawnguard.ESM.

Create a Cleaned Masters mod and move the Vanilla files back to the Data folder. 

1. Navigate to the Data folder with the files you just cleaned. Select these 4 files and create an archive.
2. In MO2, click [Install a new mod from an archive] icon (second icon), and open the archive you just created. Name the mod Cleaned Masters.
3. Move the backup files back to your Data folder (overwrite), and delete the archive in the Data folder.

If you open MO2 now, you should see the SKSE Scripts and Cleaned Masters mods in the left pane.

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 your restore point. Backup the entire /Steam/SteamApps/Common/Skyrim Special Edition/ folder, and place the archive in your Backup folder, naming it Skyrim Vanilla Backup. I also recommend doing the same for your Mod Organizer folder and your Tools folder, resulting in 3 backup files in the Backup folder.
