Hi all I have SKSE and numerous mods requiring it installed and running fine in my game. However, the SKSE installer never created an SKSE folder in my Data directory. Googling has turned up numerous threads in which people in my situation are recommended to "create the folder and .ini file yourself". My problem is that I don't know how to do that without messing up my install. Please, imagine that I am a time traveller from the 60s with an inexplicable interest in modding videogames. The workings of MO and .esp files are like magic to me, and so far I've been surprised that everything works almost like a charm even though the SKSE folders that everyone takes for granted don't exist in my Skyrim directory, and reading what is out there on the topic it feels as though I am the only person on the internet for whom "create it yourself bro" isn't a terrifying and incomplete direction. If I just create an SKSE folder in the Data directory, it will be empty and useless. I don't know how to create an .ini file, and even if I did it would also be empty and I'm worried that that'd mess up my SKSE install. I have plenty of plugins that use SKSE that seem to be running fine, and I don't know how to integrate them into a Plugins directory that, again, I apparently need to create myself. If there is any benefit to having this folder (fewer crashes or better SKSE/plugin performance, whatever) I would like to have it. If someone would hold my hand through creating it, I would be more than grateful and probably wiser for it. Help me Obi Nexus Forums, you're my only hope... EDIT: I just realised the ShowRaceMenu Precache Killer comes with an SKSE folder witha Plugins folder inside and, within that, .dll file. I have installed this via MO and have seen no problems, so again I don't want to play with fire, but if I just copy this folder into my Data directory will that take care of all my problems?

I considered that but thought I should delete the SKSE files already in my Skyrim directory first. Yay? Nay? That would be the 1.9.32.dll file, the loader dll and exe, the .pex files, the .psc files, aaand the readmes. I wasn't A) about deleting them in File Explorer and B) whether I had identified all the SKSE files

Hi guys I am absolutely brand new to PC Skyrim and the modding scene since yesterday, and have run the gauntlet of setting things up re this wonderful guide - https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/wiki/beginners_guide I started the game up with bated breath... and during the intro the cart started flipping out all over the place. I got through the intro with retries, but it was late and I have decided to go back to the drawing board for a bit, to clear up the few issues I am having. So, to business: - firstly, I installed SKSE using the installer, and no SKSE folder has been created in my Data directory. I have read that any plugins I install should do this automatically once I run the game, but that hasn't happened even though I am using SKSE, the ini pre-download from Nexus, and Enhanced Camera. I have also read that I need to create this folder and the .ini file myself, but haven't been able to find good instructions. Is my SKSE installed fine and if not what do I do about it? - when creating a new merged patch, I cannot re-use the name 'TES5Merged', and the only way I have found to delete the last merged patch I made is to delete it from my overwrite MO folder. Is that the norm? - I have a weird bug which basically causes me to sprint for a split second when my camera is pointed too much up or down. If I run while looking at the ground my stamina drains and I hear a grating noise as if I am falling and hitting the ground and/or starting a sprint many times. I'm not sure if this is a common bug with Enhanced Camera or otherwise but if there's a fix that lets me keep the mod I'd be very happy! - the cart in the intro was flipping out. It seems like a common bug, and I have added a HAVOK fix as well as enabled v-sync. I shall report back if it doesn't work! That's it for now I think. I'm mostly concerned about SKSE functionality going wrong without the folder there, but the bug when I look up or down and run is very irritating indeed. All help is truly appreciated as I try to get this beautiful game running according to my fevered, console peasant dreams! Thanks in advance :)
