Modding the GoG 1.6.659 version of Skyrim - Help, some info please.

[Andropolis454]

Are there currently specific problems with modding The GoG release?

I've had no luck at it. I'm using MO2 which seems to be working ok. It shows the 5 or 6 mods I've installed with it as being installed and activated and showing no problems, but only 1 is showing up in the game.

 

I installed SKSE64, (the new version for GoG Skyrim 1.6.659), and start the game through it.

I installed SkyUI through MO2 and activated it, but it doesn't show up in the game.

I installed a few simple mods for testing and only the "increased firewood when splitting" mod works.

 

As I said, the SKSE64 I installed and seems ok with the game is an update specifically for the Gog 1.6.659 release. So I guess what I'm trying to ask is this:

Will all the mods have to be updated especially for the GoG version of Skyrim in order to work with it?

 

I've been away from Skyrim, and Nexus for quite a while and am trying to get my head realigned with the current state of things. And I'm having to relearn a thing or two I'd forgotten.

Any enlightenment will be appreciated.

Only mods that use DLL files through SKSE should need to be updated.

 

SkyUI, you might be having a problem with it unloading. This might help: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/67166

 

Other than that, if you have the add-on for MO2 to use the GOG version, your mods should work no problem.

Hey showler, thanks for the info.

I didn't even know there was an MO2 add-on for GOG compatibility, I should have expected that.

I thought the GOG version of SKSE64 would take care of it,

I guess a lot of mods will have to be updated for SKSE though.

I'll try to dig out the MO2 add-on ASAP.

 

Thanks again

No problem using Vortex. When I wasn't looking, my GOG SSE Vers. 1.6 was updated to version ABc123JKKL987dbR%63 or whatever. Yes, I did check the no updates box, but those are all fake anyway.

So now keep my PC unplugged whenever my router is plugged in, and vice-versa.

My X Box 1 SSE is Creation-Club-free, having remained off-line since the day before the Anniversary Edition. (Perfect with 82 mods.)

Don't give up on trying to master making the game playable and fun. I have discovered how to purge all Creation Club content from both STEAM and GOG SSE, and also how to get rid of the Tutorial Messages. I suspect that my GOG update was for nothing more than to shove CC back in, but I got rid of it all once again.

I download from the Nexus and other mod sites into my ancient Dell office computer, burn the mods to DVD, and then transfer into my gaming PC. I have DVDs from 3 years ago with good mods on them, ones that are no longer available.

I visit the Nexus rarely, but it and the mods on it seem different each time, even when the mod authors claim to have abandoned a mod page 10 years ago.

This might not seem interesting to you now, but in the future, we will need all these skills to get around the predatory monetization pay-to-win loot box subscription games as a service always on-line required that is sure to come.
