Ex0rdium Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Help!!! Finally decided to get back into the creation kit and noticed and encountered this issue. So I extracted the scripts.rar file into the Scripts/Source Folder. And I still encounter the "The extends script does not exist, please pick one that does" error. Am i missing something? This isnt a good start for me to get back into this..... :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicMan3000 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 tried it all nothing workedYou need to Elaborate. Steps you need to do. 1. Find scripts.rar In your C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Skyrim\Data folder. (If it is not there go to Steam and verify the game cache)2. Extract the contents scripts.rar to your desktop.3. Open the extracted file and look for the Source folder it should be in \Scripts\Scripts\Source.4. Copy the Source folder and drop it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Skyrim\Data\scripts and over write when asked.5. Reinstall the SKSE scripts ( make sure latest version) and over write when asked. http://skse.silverlock.org/ If you have any scripts that you have created in the scripts folder they will not be effected unless of course you have not named them the same as the vanilla versions Thank you very much.

I have fixed mine but I had to do it a bit differently. The scripts folder was not originally in the data folder for me as you describe (maybe because of more updates - I don't know). From what i had to do was. 1. find scripts. right click scripts.rar - Extract Here.2. in Data folder - right click DialogueViews Folder - cut and paste it into the scripts folder. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------My little thoughts (i tend to do this a lot) - order is random. I think it was the fact that you didn't mention that the Scripts folder isn't already there. Basically the same thing except you need to actually have a scripts folder before you can place anything in it, since it didn't exist before hand. ^ But of course sometimes you would actually have it already due to others things you did that needed it to exist.... maybe.. my mind wonders bit too far sometimes. One thing i never got was why you said to exact the compressed folder to the desktop? i find it to be unneeded and messy, it just gives you more work to do then needed. Just to show why some people have doubles of the Scripts folder. Scripts.rar - Scripts - Source - DialogueViews If you - Extract HereScripts - SourceDialogueViews If you - Extract Files...Scripts - Scripts - Source - DialogueViews(It will ask you if you want to extract the content to a new folder in the same location, that would be called the same as the compressed folder when extracted. it also gives the chance to change the location and/or re-name the created folder) If you - Extract to (path*)Scripts\Scripts - Scripts - Source - DialogueViews(Same as Extract Files... but doesn't give you the chance to change the name of the folder that will be created) * Only if right click dragged to another location, the path will be displayed.

Edited >it< a thousand time times to change trivial impurities! :D That was posted months ago after the Steam and Bethesda updates to the game in prep for the Paid mods snafu. It is possible that newer versions of the game such as the Legendary Edition is packed differently. My copy of the game was purchased shortly after the original release and the scripts folder was included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
