modskyrimtopieces Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I've manually gotten the Unofficial Patch and Alternate Start to work (without Vortex) in Skyrim SE but I was just wondering if it is possible to install mods like Skyrim 2020 Parallax on the Game Pass version? I can't actually see a textures folder in the modifiablewindowsapps/Skyrim Special Edtion (PC) folder so I'm guessing texture mods aren't possible but I just want to double check with people on here. Any help would be really appreciated :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Yes Also, The only reason you THINK that the Unofficial Patch is working is because you're not using Vortex that would be telling you that the version of the unofficial patch has a problem with the newer Skyrim EXE on Gamepass because the EXE is a different version on Gamepass than it is everywhere else.

Hey thanks for your reply would you mind telling me how to get Skyrim 2020 Parallax and other mods to work on Game Pass Skyrim SE? And are you basically saying that the Unoffical Patch isn't working thanks to the way I installed it? (I just copied and pasted the bsas, esps, etc into the main data folder lol) but I know Alternate Start is working as the jail cell is what greets you when you start a new game and you can select where you want to start in Skyrim etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You install mods like the parallax mod like any other mod in 2021, you install them with a Mod Manager like Vortex.Especially considering that a texture mods is going to have a lot of files to install. People are using Vortex just fine with Gamepass Skyrim, the only thing you cannot install and have it work, is any mod that requires SKSE64, because just like with the Unofficial Patch, doesn't work with the updated gamepass skyrimse.exe https://www.game-debate.com/news/30399/skyrim-special-edition-on-game-pass-can-be-modded-but-is-severely-limited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you show me how to install mods through Vortex? Or point me towards a decent guide to installing mods on Game Pass Skyrim SE with Vortex. I'd really appreciate it. And I'm not too bothered about missing out on SKSE mods I just want to make Skyrim look really, really nice haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been looking through it and can't see anything about game pass :/ You just follow the same steps, the thing that's going to be different is the folder where it's installed I tried pointing Vortex to the modifiablewindowsapps Skyrim SE folder and installing mods but nothing seems to come up in game. I still don't really understand how to get mods to work on Skyrim SE Game Pass and there doesn't seem to be one step by step video or guide out there for getting mods to work on Game Pass Skyrim :/ I'd really appreciate a step by step guide to get Nexus mods to come up in game as I'm so confused right now :( Edited October 31, 2021 by modskyrimtopieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modskyrimtopieces Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 Well I've finally gotten Vortex to work and have installed the Unofficial Patch and Alternate Start through it so hooray! However, I have a new problem: I installed the Static Mesh Improvement Mod but when I go into the game there are no changes and the textures are still all vanilla? Any ideas anyone? It looks to me like texture mods aren't possible on the Game Pass version of Skyrim SE which would be a massive shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
