blueeyedninja23 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I'm familiar with using the in-game mods menu, but my husband recently got a gaming computer and I was feeling adventurous. Now, I go to open the game (click the icon, click play) and then nothing happens. The game won't launch. I disabled all the nexus mods and it loaded just fine. I thought maybe it was because I still had in-game mods active, so I disabled those and re-enabled the ones from nexus with the same result. So I deleted the in-game mods and tried again and still the same result. I'm alright with completely starting over if needed; I just want to play. I only have 8 mods installed, most of which are immersion based (campfire/frostfall, sounds, textures, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie1Boy Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Welcome to the rabbit hole of modding that is Skyrim! Skyrim hates when you delete mods during a playthrough. Things tend to go broke that way. If you are using mods you will have to launch Skyrim through the SKSE (Skyrim Script Extender) launcher and not the default Skyrim launcher. Aside from that if you are still having problems post your load order and plugins list and maybe someone can help troubleshoot whats going on.

IsharaMeradin Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Welcome to the rabbit hole of modding that is Skyrim! Skyrim hates when you delete mods during a playthrough.

Aside from that if you are still having problems post your load order and plugins list and maybe someone can help troubleshoot whats going on. Lets not give them mis-information (part in bold underline). The SKSE launcher only needs to be used when using mods that require SKSE. If none of the mods require it, then using the default launcher is completely acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grospolina Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Yes, that's absolutely true. However, Frostfall does require SKSE, so the game will in fact need to launched using the SKSE launcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueeyedninja23 Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 Thanks for all the help, but as I'm unfamiliar with almost all of this, what is the SKSE and how do I get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsharaMeradin Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 SKSE is a Skyrim Script Extender. The main purpose is to provide additional functions and events for the Papyrus Script Engine used by the game. This allows mod authors to do things that could not have been done or would require a clunky work around process. You can get it here: https://skse.silverlock.org/ Be sure to download the build appropriate for the version of the game that you are using. I recommend using the 7z archive option and manually installing. You can extract everything to the main game folder but the archive does contain build files not necessary to actually using it.
