I can't for the life of me make these mods work on Skyrim SE

[Rockon1m1]

Hi guys, I really want to get back to Skyrim but I am banging my head against the wall trying to get these mods to work. Can somebody tell me what I'm messing up on? I would be forever grateful... and if you could let me know how on earth you figure it out then it would help me not have to ask for future mods and help out my friends as well.

 

I'm using Vortex.

 

 

Best,

I'm not sure what you're asking?

The plugins you're showing are all enabled.

Did you install them with Vortex?

[gromulos]

Your problem is you don't have a bashed patch from Wrye or a smashed patch from mator smash

 

You can NOT use that many mods with out a patch file of some kind, and for gods sake do NOT use a merged patch from Xedit

 

You're using a lot of huge mods like immersive weapons and immersive armors that add a lot of content and files, a bashed patch will ensure that these new files are being loaded correctly

 

my guide below, since you're using SSE make sure to use the files in the box i made using ******************

Do ALL of steps 1-3 and Appendix 1 ( if needed )

I downloaded and installed them via Vortex. The issue is that when I want to start the game - either through SKSE64 launcher or via steam - the game does not start. It only starts when I remove a significant amount of mods, and the mods that I remove are supposed to be working (as in I installed them following the instructions).

 

So the question is - what am I doing wrong?

read my post above please

My god. Hopefully I can do as much as possible before the baby wakes up... I supposed the first step is to delete skyrim and reinstall outside of program files.

[gromulos]

you don't have to delete anything UNLESS your saves are red in Wrye Bash, there is a saves tab up top

 

I've had skyrim and all fallout games installed in program files since the day each one was released and have never had any problems because of that

 

been playing Fallout 3 for 10 years that way and Fallout New Vegas for 8, and skyrim since the day it was available for download

 

take a look at my own load order and you will see 2 things

 

1) I use some of the same mods you do

 

2) the bashed patch at the bottom

 

Normally the bashed patch would be last BUT the Reproccer files are an exception just like other files such as: Dual Sheath Redux, ASIS, and so on

Right I followed your instructions and now all the active mods are green (I've also cleaned the DLCs with TES5). Except for immersive patrols which is a shame as it seems fun but it asks me to change the order of dragonborn and dawnguard.

 

Despite this the game won't start. Do you know what else I am doing wrong?

your link doesn't work for me, please use https://imgur.com/

 

Immersive patrols you have to fix in TesEdit using Appendix 1 in my guide

 

as for the game not starting, check your saves in the save tab in Wrye and let me know what color the 5 most recent are - red, orange, green, or purple ( worst to best ) < if they are red this usually means you deleted a mod at some point that your save needs >

 

also check the save files extentions and make sure none of them have TMP at the end of them, if even one does, your saves are broken

 

lastly, make sure you rebuild the bashed patch to include any changes you made, each and every time you do make changes, this includes cleaning the files, reordering your mods, adding a mod, and most of all, NEVER delete any mods, not even one, unless you are making a new character

 

 

Except for immersive patrols which is a shame as it seems fun but it asks me to change the order of dragonborn and dawnguard.

 

This happens when the mod author in question does not have their own files in the correct load order.

The save files were red but they were only save files to start the game at least once (last time I played was ages ago so I had to reinstall). I deleted them. The batch file was rebuilt last.

 

I'm literally at a loss and what is more frustrating is I know what I'm probably doing wrong is something silly.
