TES5edit = Fatal: Error loading plugin list: <EOSError: System Error. Code: 2.

Apologies for necro'ing a dead thread but figured I'd put this in case anyone gets here by googling the same problem. I had no luck finding a solution to this but figured it out after a while.

 

Deleting the TES5Edit Backup folder in Skyrim/ Data before running the patcher should fix the error issue.

I'm sorry but could you further elaborate on where it could be?

Program Files (x86)/ Steam/ Steamapps/ Common/ Skyrim/ Data/ .... on whatever drive you have your Steam or Steam Library installed. Inside the data folder will be a TES5Edit Backups folder - delete the backup folder and TES5Edit should run without getting a fatal error.

Sorry for reviving this, going to leave my solution that turned out to be different from the ones above.

 

If you are running the xEdit through MO2 and get this issue, try deleting the existing plugin files in \AppData\Local\Skyrim

Then run the game launcher through steam. It will recreate the files for you and the issue will be resolved.

Apparently just copying or making the files manually does not work for reasons

If you have this error: Fatal: Could not open registry key: SOFTWAREBethesda...

 

 

just remone the tesv5edit to SSEEdit for skyrim if, there is a file written readme just take a look lol
