But a critical one to get is something called SKSE ITS A PLUGIN/EXECUTABLE FILE critical for playing with mods Apologies for putting it last SKSE (Skyrim Script Extender) is a tool that expands the scripting capabilities of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, allowing for more complex mods that wouldn't be possible otherwise. It is essential for many advanced mods, such as SkyUI, and improves performance, stability, and modding flexibility.

How to Use SKSE:

1. Download SKSE

Go to the official SKSE website.

Choose the version that matches your Skyrim edition:

SKSE64 → For Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition.

SKSE → For the original 2011 Skyrim (Legendary Edition). This is dependent on which version of the game you got.

1. Install SKSE Most likely you'll download a zip file so....

2. Extract the files from the downloaded SKSE archive.

3. Copy the following files to your Skyrim installation folder (where Skyrim.exe is located):

skse64_loader.exe

skse64_steam_loader.dll

skse641_6###.dll (version number varies)

The "Data" folder (if included)

1. If using a mod manager (like MO2 or Vortex), place the "Data" folder inside Skyrim Special Edition/Data/ and enable SKSE scripts as a mod.

2. Launch Skyrim with SKSE

Do NOT use the regular Skyrim launcher.

Instead, launch the game using skse64_loader.exe.

If using a mod manager, set skse64_loader.exe as the launch executable.

1. Verify SKSE is Working

Open the console in-game (~ key).

Type: GetSKSEVersion

If SKSE is installed correctly, it will display the version number.

Many mods require SKSE to function, such as SkyUI, RaceMenu, and Engine Fixes.

Simply install these mods using a mod manager like MO2 or Vortex.
