FAQ:

Q: Why do I have holes in my roads???
A: Northern Roads and all the patches need to be the lowest in your Load order at the bottom.

 

Q: My Skyrim is slow, why?
A: Depending on the Mac you are using, performance might be different. You need to use SSE Display Tweaks to reduce those stutters. If using an ENB, put to true "enblite" in the enbseries.ini.


Q: My game crash after 10 minutes.
A: Engine Fixes, SSE Display Tweaks and Power Of Three Settings.
 (Engine Fixes: Go into the .ini file and disable everything except ‘’MaxStdio’’, ‘’SaveAddedSoundCategories’’, SaveGameMaxSize’’.)

(SSE Display Tweaks: Use vSync, Fullscreen and add your resolution like 1600x1900.)

(Powerofthree tweaks: Disable ‘’LoadEditorIDs’’ and ‘’Journaling’’.)


Q: My clothes doesn’t fit or my character is transparent..
A: Run your Bodyslide preset. You have to select your body type and batch build morphs those at the bottom left button, select all and in the next screen chose each new outfit mods you added (with physics if you want to have those) click Ok and it will start processing.


Q: Where are my SAVES !?
A: Crossover saves the files into iCloud Drive or in Documents\Skyrim Special Edition. You should be asked the first time by the OS to access your Document Folder, Select Yes.
