GrzlyG Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I just recently bought Skyrim Special Edition straight off STEAM. I have been trying to install SKSE, and have tried every video and installation method there is. When I get to the step of dragging the data archive into NMM, it says that it cannot be installed. When I try using the installer on the website and launching the game off the shortcut it installs, it says that it can't find TESV.exe. I have tried showing hidden files in my windows control panel and I can see no others solution. I also have gone into my Skyrim Special Edition folder to check, and TESV doesn't exist at all. I have also just reinstalled the game, and still no fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WastelandAssassin Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 yeah , I think I know what your issue iscould you verify if you are trying to install SKSE or SKSE64?because SKSE is the version for Skyrim LE , while you have Skyrim SE , for which you need SKSE64different files , though downloaded from the same place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem persists, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsharaMeradin Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Out of curiosity, have you started the game prior to trying to add SKSE64? If not, that may be a possible cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrzlyG Posted June 24, 2018 Author Share Posted June 24, 2018 (edited) Out of curiosity, have you started the game prior to trying to add SKSE64? If not, that may be a possible cause.Just did, still same problem. "SKSEScripts (the name of my data file archived) can't be added."

WastelandAssassin Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I really don't recommend using NMM , but that's a matter of perspectiveI would suggest using MO2 instead , but that's just an extra advice on the side of the topic if you open the SKSE64 archive you've downloaded (not the installer , the rar archive) , there is a readme with manual installation instructionsthese should be very easy for you to follow , so just install it manually and see if it works if it still doesn't work , please provide screenshots of your game's directory (not the Data folder , the folder that contains it , where the launcher is)and also a screenshot of the SKSE64 archive you've downloaded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
