So many problems...

[Tank0123]

I know how to add mods -- that's nothing new, I figured out the Steam directory pretty quickly. However, Steam is just...odd. Several problems:

 

I really want to update to version 1.8.151.0, but Steam hasn't automatically update it. Is there way to (legally, since I've only found cracked versions thus far) update Skyrim manually? Since so many mods use this version.

 

SKSE is also giving me problems. It says something like "The file directory is corrupted or unreadable", although I suspect this has to do with Skyrim not being updated (I looked, and it's just version 1.0. No bueno).

 

I literally just got this computer today and just installed Skyrim on it. The only other mod I've installed is Live Another Life -- Alternate Start, to skip Helgen. So I highly doubt it can be the computer.

 

A final problem which is unrelated to the others: I bought Hearthfire and Dawnguard from Gamestop within the last two weeks. I got a receipt with the redeemable codes for each. I created the GS account as needed. But whenever I enter the code, it reverts back to the login screen. It's weird -- I'm going to call Gamestop after the Christmas rush slows down, so if you don't know anything about this, then don't worry about it.

 

UPDATE: I checked Skyrim. It is fully updated, so that just leaves SKSE being screwy.

never have a problem with updating, just "tell " steam to always keep this game updated^^, when it's done go offline.

as soon the skyrim version change, SkSe is obsolete, you need to wait for the update,

so Skyrim is 1.8.151 and SKSE 1.6.5

 

for the last problem, GS customer client :)

if your having problems updating skyrim on steam open steam go to your Library. find skyrim right click on it and go to properties then click on local files tab and click on verify integrity of game cache this will fix and download broken files the game needs and update the game then after that got to the updates tab to see if the game is set to always update

 

if you having problems with skse re download it install all the files in the the folder where the SkyrimLauncher.exe is. install the other files that are in the data folder in to the skyrim data folder. the src folder goes in to the same place where the SkyrimLauncher.exe goes not the files the whole folder

 

 

now the game stop codes for the dlc all ya do for that is at the top of steam there a button labeled Games click on it a menu should drop down. click on activate a product on steam ya enter the codes ya get from game stop there ya go.

 

for steam gift cards ya go to the same place and click on Redeem steam wallet code

 

Hope this helps :)

Skyrim is fully updated. It's a shame that SKSE is out of date, but I suppose I can wait for a few more mods.

 

I'm still having problems with the redeeming of codes, however. I tried to go through Steam, but it said my codes were invalid. Still trying to solve this problem-- don't want wasted DLC...

A shame on what?

Skyrim is 1.8.151 and SKSE 1.6.5 ---»» last version for 1.8.151, where it's out of date??

The latest SKSE works fine.

Steam updating works fine - if it's not disabled.

 

If your update codes are showing as invalid, where did you get them? There are bogus sites that advertise FREE codes just for registering and being subjected to some advertising - If you fall for that kind of scam, you will find your email address has been harvested and sold to spammers, and you may have been infected with a virus. The free code is worth just what you paid for it - nothing. Basic rule of thumb - If a deal looks too good to be true - 99% of the time it is. :rolleyes:

Sorry, I haven't updated that post. SKSE is fully updated, Skyrim was apparently already fully updated (I avoided torrent sites like the plague). I just had to validate the cache or something on Steam. Or maybe it was already updated to begin with, whatever it doesn't matter. All I know is: nothing stupid or illegal happened.

 

I think the problem is that SKSE is not compatible with my OS, Windows 8, in which case I'll have to wait for a patch.

 

As for the DLC codes -- I got a solid copy of them (well, a receipt with codes on them) straight from Gamestop. That's one big scammer if that's what you're suggesting (I wouldn't find it hard to believe...I'm probably going to return the receipt and just opt to buy the DLCs off of Steam, which is actually cheaper anyway).
