Im not sure but im almost 75% sure you are the first person in like 10 years to teach me this and it actually work
I'm happy to hear it helped out!! Now go download some mods.
Finally after 2 hours of searching.I wasn’t able to set my skse as primary,but now i can
Thank you so much. This finally got the game working but it was hard to hear you throughout the video. Still much appreciated!
thanks no one is ever really clear that you need to download this script extender different than all your plugins or mods
It may be one of the easiest mistakes to make. Manual download, unzip, and drop in. Just make sure its for your game version.
Great guide! easy to follow along and will share with friends looking to mod the game too. Would love to see more guides on other popular/essential mods also!
based pfp
How have computers come so far and we still have to do all this shit, thank you so much man
@gwhsjh432 Yeah, I hear you. I probably have 100+ hours just modding skyrim
Bro Omgosh thank you sooooo much!!! It worked I had to change the settings towards the end as it was NOT RECOGNIZING IT!!!
After watching, I think I will, Uninstall everything again and reinstall from scratch. Have been working on getting vortex to work for the last two weeks. Nothing allowed me to download mods to my game . Vortex has been a pain to sync with my game. Thanks for this updated how to.
Hopefully this works. If you still have problems, let me know. I'll try to help as best I can.
@@The_Baca_ thanks to you, I got it working. Most of the help videos miss a lot of the small details.
@@stanleygoen3790 I wish I had your patience, after having Skyrim in my library for an entire year I still haven't been able to get mods to work, let alone even play it.
dude best tutorial yet! thank you so much!
Thank you very much man. Finally works for me after a many videos.
Amazing video! Def a new sub, and most important a new fan :) Alr watched some of your videos, I love the chill vibe
forgot to say the video also really helped me :)
Massive help man, this video deserves a ton of praise. Good looking out, subbed.
Thanks, working on a few more for LOOT and others essential stuff
Dude, you're amazing. Thank you. I'm so stupid. I always forget to extract.
Desperately hoping I’ll find something new to understand to get get lotd😅😅 still haven’t found a video and I’ve never modded before and my game only crashes…. if this video doesn’t help any recommendations or pointing to a super easily explained thread would be very appreciated 🤞
Eyo thanks man. Great tutorial. Easy to follow.
Thanks man! I really appreciate this
Sure, no problem. Have fun with some mods and let me know if you need more help
Great vid, simple to follow, thanks!
made this process so easy man. thank you.
Happy Modding!!
Thanks, detailed which I liked
perfect mayyyyyn, good tutorial👌
loved the intro mate
Very cool tutorial everything clear and easy, BUT when i want to verify if i did all correct, i see only some squers when im writing this "getskseversion" in the comand table ... im 99% sure i did everything correct soo ... there is other way to veryfiy it ? and why i can see only those squares in the comand table ?
I think that has to do with the language not matching. Like playing the game in English but font is not in English for a certain mod? Probably skyui. Also download address library for skse plugins. www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/32444
thank you for your service.
Thanks bruh still works 👍
need help with Loot,FNIS,Body Slider
I'll work on getting a decent video up for each of those. I do need to update loot anyway
life saver !
So I set my staging folder, and my mods are installed to a different folder outside of my Skyrim directory, and Vortex won't let me change my staging folder to my Skyrim mods folder. The reason I want to try and do this is because when I install mods through Vortex and enable them, Skyrim tells me I have no mods installed. I installed SKSE, so I'm not sure what my issue is here.
Are you launching the game from SKSE tool in vortex?
@@The_Baca_ I am. When I launch it, I don't have a mods tab in the main menu, but SKSE is working. I never had this problem modding before, but it's been a while since I modded Skyrim.
@blank4142 The mods tab in the main menu is for Creation kit mods through Bethesda, you shouldn't use those. Download the mods from nexus
And download MCM and address library for skse and make sure they are correct version. If none of that works I'm out of ideas
Thanks bro, looks like it works on my end, so I go no choice but to like. Great video but damn who hurt you 😭😭😭 at least try and sound excited to make the video haha
amazing guide, thanks man
very helpful, thank you so much.
Hello there! Does your guy's vortex install the mods inside the Mods or Data folder? Mine keeps installing them into Data folder but the game wont start with having them activated. I tried putting for example SkyUI into the Mod folder and it just worked. My vortex is installed on C: and Skyrim SE + mopds would be on another harddrive. Anyone got an idea what the problem could be here?
Open Vortex and click settings on the left side. Click on mods at the top and check your mod staging folder. Be sure to set it for the drive your game is on. For me it says "(drive):\Vortex Mods\skyrimse. If yours doesnt match where your game is installed, uncheck the defaults option and click the folder icon to find the correct mod staging folder. See 4:00 in video^^
The vid was definitely helpful dude though I need help installing loot when you have the time to help.
I'm working on Loot, video should be up soon
@@The_Baca_ thanks man
Unfortunately for me, no mods work no matter what i do on steam deck, have skySE and vortex instead also, nothing is progressing
I don't have any experience with the steam deck or testing mods on it
I downloaded the correct version and I launch skse in mod manager, but my screen just blacks out for 1 second
Make sure skse is in the correct folder (Skyrim folder) have you downloaded any mods?
idk where to launch skyrim from on vortex. theres no button anywhere for me
Launch with SKSE, At the top in the middle is a button SKSE, or click on dashboard and scroll down to tools
It isn't working probaly it always say that im missing a NetScript file even tho i transfered all the files
Download and install .Net file again. Make sure the files you transferred are in the correct folder, (the folder with Skyrim.exe) same with skse
can you make a tutorial how to install or activate enhanced camera mod? i did all i can but its not working at all
I can but it will take time. Can you send a link to the mod page?
Hey Man, I did everything the same as you, but when i launch skyrim trough vortex the game quits to desktop once i hit load or new game.
If i launch it without vortex, i get ab error message from skyui that skse is not running. But i did everything correct
Make sure your skse version is correct for your game version, make sure to disable auto updates, run loot and then quick auto clean, And always launch through skse
@@The_Baca_ Thank you!
hey i have toolbar disabled...how can i enable it
Top right of toolbar is a small slider to enable or disable
So, I have an issue that I can't find any help on. My SKSE64 reads an error that says , "SkyrimSE.exe not found". I have SKSE installed in the same folder as SkyrimSE.exe... Has anyone had the same issue and how do you solve this?
The game path is correct in Vortex. I've double checked.
Did you just install Skyrim? If so you need to launch skyrim once so it registers to your pc then skse will be able to find skyrim. The tools section on the vortex dashboard should have skse. Make sure target file this "T:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\skse64_loader.exe"
@@The_Baca_ Thanks for responding, but that's not the issue. I have the correct path as you mentioned as the target file but I was messing around and hopefully, I didn't mess anything up but what should the "start in" file be? I have skse injector engine in vortex but now the icon for SKSE isn't showing up correctly for SKSE in the dashboard. You can still click on it but the game is trying to boot, goes to a black screen and then crashes... I have no idea what's going on lol
@@adam_a923 The start in file is "T:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition" So I think skse checks for skyrim and then skyrim checks for skse. Also the most common thing I see is miss matched Versions. Like my Skyrim version is 1.6.640 AE, so my SKSE version must be the same. And If you have Special Edition SE, upgrade it to Anniversary Edition AE.If that doesnt work Idk what else it could be.
🤔
@@The_Baca_ Thanks for the quick response to help but i figured it out. I like to copy backup files just in case something happens so I accidentally copied the data/mod folder to the target game folder which vortex didn't like so it was causing to crash.
do I have to type getskseversion everytime I open my skyrim?
No that's just to verify it's installed and working. Just remember to launch the game through skse from now on
Do you need to download all the tools ?
hi there, i've been modding skyrim forever but just got a new pc and decided to manually redo everything. i installed skse through vortex and then manually, but no matter what, i can't get SKYUI to load so i know something must be wrong. do you have any advice?
Double check the game version and skse versions are correct. And I never used vortex to install skse from nexus, so maybe an issue there. Also, did you check skse version at the main menu after launching the game?
Also, just to make sure you are launching the game through skse right?
@@The_Baca_ yes, the game version is 1.6.640 and I got the SKSE AE 2.2.3. I installed from the silver lock website after the vortex install didn’t work and still nothing!! And yes I am launching the skse application not skyrimSE
@@beccag13 Are any other mods working?
@@The_Baca_ I didn’t try anything else since most things need skyUI
Hi bro thx for the video, but i have a problem.
i see my script in vortex but it's grey, i can't interact
thanks in advace
Not sure what you mean? Can you explain the issue a little more
@@The_Baca_ i did it! Thanks you !
How do you disable auto updates?
On steam go to manage and set to only update when you launch the game, don't launch the game from steam. Now since you launch the game through SKSE you will never auto update
does it have to be the your verson or can it be special edition?
Whichever version you have, I have SE. What I was referring to was the current update version that's installed. In my case it's 1.6.640
Also be sure to disable auto updates for skyrim to avoid an issue with a new version of skyrim not being compatible with skse. Until the skse developers update skse after a Bethesda update
Ok thanks it's working now game looks awesome 😎
One more question what does it mean when it says failed to open address library file??
@@XtraWarzone When does it say that?
do you need to extract any the files?
@xivonicfps5177 SKSE is a zip that needs to be extracted, and after, drag and drop its contents in your skyrim folder (same place as the skyrim.exe)
@@The_Baca_ ohh thank you
It keeps on blacking out everytime I load the game
Are you trying to launch the game from SKSE? Or are you trying to load a save after you've downloaded mods?
@@The_Baca_ after I did skse it stopped working I think I may have downloaded the wrong version too but i really want this to work for me I been doing this all day just for the game to not even load for me
@@Eli_Perbtani Go to 6:00 in video and watch. Double check game version and SKSE version match
And make sure to launch the game from the SKSE tool in Vortex
@@The_Baca_ alright I’m going to do this today after I’m done with school
Is LOOT necessary to run the mods?
If you plan on adding a lot of mods then yes loot is a great tool to use, but still be sure to read mod requirements and compatibility
I have tried everything. I can't get this damn thing to work. This is infuriating.
What are you having trouble with
@@The_Baca_ SKSE will not work. I have tried everything. I have watched many videos. Followed meticulously.
@omega9077 What game version are you trying to get to work? Are you sure the SKSE you downloaded is for your game version?
@The_Baca_ yes. I have matched game versions. I have installed it in the same file as SkyrimSe.exe. I have given it administrator privilege to bypass firewall. I have created a shortcut to desktop that goes to the Skse loader.exe. I have even tried taking my steam library out of programmable files and into a separate folder incase that was this issue. Literally nothing works.
@@omega9077 What game version are you on, and you should setup skse with tools in vortex
Bro you lost me at 6:14 I don’t even know how to pull up that second page with all the files and nerd shit
If you use steam go to steam library and right click Skyrim, Go to manage and then browse local files
They need to simplify Nexus mods and vortex, takes hours to get anything to work. Immediately deleted it all
It's all customization for your game, and it's going to take time whether you use vortex or mod organizer. You can't expect to download something, and 30 seconds later It's perfect. It took a lot of people and time to get any of this stuff to work right. So is it really that bad to put a couple of hours in to set it all up properly ?
And it's free
you are so slow omg please stop stopping halfway through sentences and leaving huge gaps
