WORKED. LIKE. A. CHARM!!! If I had anything to give you but my thanks, I happily would. Just know you've made an old biker gamer very happy.

VERY cool!! I'll install it later and let you know what happens, MUCH appreciated!!!!!

yeah, got an SKSE error Removed it, error disappeared.

Sent him a message about permissions to port, figured it's better than not trying anything at all.

oh damn, I didn't even notice that. I used that mod in LE, with a hood, it made a perfect ranger cloak if you went with the sage green dye option.

but what I know about modding could be written inside a matchbook with a paint roller. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/43155

Problem solved, I am an idiot. There's an SE file in the "Files" section of the LE mod.

Figured I'd ask on the LE mod page if it will work with SE/AE.

I did find the LE version, thank you for that, but I recently switched from the Steam version of SE to the GOG AE version, and I can't find the mod anywhere on my PC but I'm 100% sure I had it installed.

Have you tried this one? https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2829

Have I gone completely insane, or did I actually downloand and install a mod for SE "Bijin Moll Haircut" or something like that? Can't seem to find it anywhere on the Nexus for SE.

I dunno, I'm kinda digging the way it looks.

Pretty sure I have it figured out who the culprit is (looking at you Immersive World Encounters), but can anyone tell me for sure where this guys and his friends come from, and WHY CAN'T I ADOPT HIM????

OH MY GAWD

I haven't gone that route....yet. What I did was disable ALL mods, then slowly re-enable them one at a time. So far, 118 mods re-enabled, no error message. Will let y'all know when I finally get this figured out.

As near as I can figure, something happened after an antivirus/malware scan that Skyrim didn't like. I'm still tracking down exactly what that is.

Not yet I'm stuck at the Bethesda logo/Skyrim logo/CTD issue.

rut roh Raggy! All good, I figured that's what happened after a few minutes, nothing downloaded tho.

AH HA!! You said to look for the d3ddx9_42.dll file, but the Engine Fixes only has d3dx9_42.dll 1 x in the name as opposed to 2. Did a quick search, apparently d3ddx9_42.dll is a core component of DirectX, so I'm going to go ahead and reinstall that. Will let you know how it pans out.

SOME success! Not longer getting an error message, but all I get now is the Bethesda logo, the Skyrim dragon logo and......a spinning wheel. But hey, it's progress right? Y'all have been FAR more help than I ever thought I'd get with this!

It was the "Install From File" option. I honestly can't thank you guys enough for your help with this. I can rebuild a Harley from the ground up, but am a special kind of stupid when it comes to modding.

I installed it via Vortex.

so...It just works?
