dizietemblesssma Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I'd like to install the new GOG version of SkyrimSE, but I don't want to mess about recreating all my profiles, will Vortex treat it as the same game if I point Vortex to the new path?What about save games, is it enough to simply copy the old directory to the new one?I assume that I purge the mods and make sure there is a proper staging folder, will I have to copy the downloads to a newly named directory too? diziet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 You can do this fairly simply. Purge mods, update the game path, restart Vortex, deploy the mods. Vortex doesn't really "care" which Skyrim you are managing, it'll use the existing data with whichever is selected. Saves you have to copy over manually. Just keep in mind some SKSE plugins may not yet be updated for the GOG build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizietemblesssma Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 Saves you have to copy over manually.So the profile save folders and the profile ini files will be created and copied over to the new location by Vortex? Just leaving me to deal with the actual savegame files? diziet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Hmm, I'm not actually sure how profile saves will behave, it's best to copy all profile and INI files over the GOG folders (when Vortex is closed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizietemblesssma Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 I can confirm that after purging, changing the paths to the Skyrim exe and the saves folder it seem to work, with the selected profile folder being created in the saves folder - but empty. The ini files seemed to be copied across.My only issue is that the prompt to download skse always results in a message "script extender mismatch it looks like you downloaded the wrong file", even though I have selected the gog version.Upon restart of Vortex I had the message that my game version had changed and it said 1.6.659 and an offer to fix loose files. which I accepted.Looks like I'll have to install skse manually, could the problem be the filename for gog skse - skse64_2_02_02_gog.7z ? diziet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 The built-in SKSE option isn't working correctly for GOG, but you can download it manually and drop it into Vortex without issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
