Difficulty selector ingame and difficulty in skyrimprefs.ini are totally disconnected.

As stated - if I change the difficulty number in the INI file, the difficulty itself changes ingame, but not the actual difficulty selector. The difficulty selector itself does nothing at all when changed - neither ingame nor in the INI file. I had the SkyUI difficulty persistence fix installed, but the issue is the same with or without it.

*Nods* This is true for those of us who use SkyUI. You may not have noticed it yet, but you also can't disable survival mode if you enabled it at start up (same bug).

The SkyUI has a link or two to patches you need to install to fix that. I can't remember if the link is in the main description page or the sticky comments.

Off memory I think you need the following patches, but do check the SkyUI page to confirm and see if I missed anything.

SkyUI - Survival Mode Integration at Skyrim Special Edition Nexus - Mods and Community (nexusmods.com)

Quest Journal Fix for SkyUI at Skyrim Special Edition Nexus - Mods and Community (nexusmods.com)

SkyUI SE - Flashing Savegames Fix at Skyrim Special Edition Nexus - Mods and Community (nexusmods.com)

Post Script: The above patches only sort of fix the problem. They do let changing the ini files work, but I can't quite be sure if they fix the GUI itself. They also let me disable survival mode but don't  let me re-enable it once I disable it. Still, they unbreak the game. I use the ini file to change the difficulty (1 to 5 is the range with 5 being hardest setting).

Got it. Thanks! I've used Skyui since original Skyrim all through SE until now - never had the issue before on like 15 different modded game installs. Wonder why I'm only now having it?
