gumdoc Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Hi All, Decided to do a fresh install and replay Skyrim SE for the first time in years. I do have a question about mods and add-ons. I downloaded the SkyUI mod and it appears in my options for the Mods section of the SKSE64loader, no problems. But, I don't have the options to add the 3 DLCs, they are in the Add-Ons section and nothing happens if I click on them. In the past, there was a Data option in the Skyrim Launcher you'd choose your esm and esp files and change the order, but that's obviously different now. Just curious if there's anything I need to do on my end to activate Dawnguard, Dragonborn, etc. The .esm files are in the /Data folder along with the Skyrim and Update .esm files, and I'm running v. 1.5.97. Thanks for any help....it's been awhile :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumdoc Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share Posted April 20, 2021 Ok, well, I was looking through the USSEP requirements and it lists the following order: Skyrim.esmUpdate.esmDawnguard.esmHearthfires.esmDragonborn.esm[any Creation Club master-flagged ESLs you may have]Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch.esp Are those directions outdated? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorKaizeld Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 The dlc order is irrelevant as long as they are below update and skyrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumdoc Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share Posted April 20, 2021 Not sure if I explained it properly. Right now, if I go into Mods, the only thing I see is the USSEP and the Skyui. I can't place update or skyrim or the dlc as they don't show up in my list, I only see the esp files, not the esm files. The esm files are definitely there, but I can't reorder the others since they don't show up under Mods. The dlc order is irrelevant as long as they are below update and skyrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorKaizeld Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 are you using Vortex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmsmasher Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Did you select the right root folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumdoc Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share Posted April 20, 2021 Not using Vortex. As far as I know, the files are in their default locations. The DLCs and all other esm/esp files are in the Skyrim/Data folder. The DLCs show up under Add-ons when I boot up Skyrim, I can choose the Skyui and USSEP mods under the Mod section. I just don't see Skyrim.esm or Update.esm under Mods or Add-ons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorKaizeld Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 what manager are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumdoc Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share Posted April 20, 2021 None, I'm only using 2 mods so just manually copied the .esp files into the Data folder. I just downloaded and am running Vortex, seems to be pretty easy and gives me that control. One question: do I have to start Vortex before each session of Skyrim or once I set it up, can I just leave it alone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
