Folder managed by Vortex-so how to edit contents?

[vacuumdiagram]

Skyrim LE, Win 10, Vortex 1.2.10

 

I've done a clean install of Skyrim and started my first session of modding with Vortex. All was going fine, until I went to edit a line in my SKSE.ini. There was nothing in the folder except the Plugins folder, and a file saying that the folder was managed by Vortex. After various searches online, I decided to reinstall SKSE. Installed using the installer, same path as before still no SKSE.ini appearing. I'm assuming that it is somewhere, and just being 'managed by Vortex', but no search brings it up.
How do you edit ini files in folders that are 'managed by Vortex'?

TIA!

You shouldn't have a SKSE folder in your game directory.
The files, the skse_loader.exe and *.dll files should be in the game root folder alongside the skyrimSE.exe and SkyrimLauncher.exe

The PEX files in the Data\Scripts\ folder in the skse zip needs to go in the DATA\Scripts folder

 

It's far easier and more foolproof to just install skse manally.

SKSE install

[ Installation ]

1. Copy the .dll and .exe files to your Skyrim SE directory. This is usually in your Program Files folder under Steam\SteamApps\common\Skyrim\. If you see files named Skyrim and SkyrimLauncher, this is the correct folder. Do not copy these files to the Data folder as with a normal mod. The "src" folder is only useful for programmers, most users can ignore it.

2. Copy the .pex files in Data\Scripts\ into the Data\Scripts\ folder of your installation. The .pex files are needed by all users of SKSE.

Hi, thanks for answering. However: This is LE, not SE. The SKSE folder is in the Data folder, the files you mentioned are in the game root folder. And SKSE should have a ini file in its folder.
I've copied my old one from ,y previous (backup) install, and thats working...but its a bit odd that it happened at all.

SKSE nor any of the Script extenders have ever come packed with an ini file.

 

I've got the 1.0.7 version skse zip open on my desktop right now.

There aren't ANY ini files packed with any of the script extenders.

 

You can create your own, but none come in the 7z file

 

 

 

Just create a text file using notepad and paste in the below info, save file as skse.ini (no .txt, or will not load), and paste text file into the SKSE folder.

HadToRegister is correct. There is no .ini file as part of the SKSE package. You have to add the .ini manually.

 

The core purpose of the customized skse.ini was to provide a memory patch. There are other features that can be added, as is seen in the skse.ini provided by HTR.

 

Here's the skse.ini that I used when I played Skyrim with MO as a mod manager: https://wiki.step-project.com/Skyrim_Script_Extender. The installation instructions are for MO, but the .ini file does not require MO (or any other mod manager) to be installed.

Well I'll be! Its so long since I've done a full uninstall/reinstall that I've become used to having an SKSE.ini, had forgotten that! Cheers both!
