This guide is not only intended to give you a heavily modded Skyrim but also the knowledge of how to mod Bethesda games. The guide is written for those with mid-level experience with modding, it assumes you have at least a rudimentary knowledge of Mod Organizer 2, how to use archives such 7z files, and the other tools needed. I use MO2 so the guide is written for MO2, if you use Vortex I would think installing the mods in the order listed in section 14 would suffice. The guide is laid out in what I consider to be the best practices for mod installation. Install 5 or 6 mods, generally I try to install mods that do the same sort of thing hence the sections the guide has. Run LOOT to sort load order, manually sort left pane, run LOOT again if it changes load order then match left pane, rinse and repeat until LOOT makes no changes to the load order. Check for wrong form versions, explained in appendix A. Check for plugins available for ESL flag, explained in appendix B. Check for plugins with wrongly sorted masters, explained in, you guessed it, appendix C. Make required changes to ini files. Check LOOT sorting. Test. Repeat.During download and installation of the mods be sure to read the description pages and any stickied posts in order to take note of compatibilities, load order and requirements. If you actually take paper notes, as I do, then when you are ready to build a modlist of your own you will already have this information which will save a lot of time later. If you have any questions about why I have placed certain mods in the positions I have them just ask I am always glad to answer any questions.A special thanks to the following for invaluable help in putting the guide together and testing….AvrieMephiticGreenpeaGreyhawkeSMR1957ChefIljaAnd all the Old FartsSome very useful information on modding the game can be found on these threads…Skyrim SE: Guides and Resources https://steamcommunity.com/app/489830/discussions/0/340412122413706606/Helpful Links And Referenceshttps://steamcommunity.com/app/489830/discussions/0/2828702372997628701/

Screenshots
1. Getting Skyrim SE and Your System Ready
If you have not used any mods skip to step 3. If you also have not used any mods and Skyrim is already not in Program Files then skip to step 4.
1. Uninstall all Skyrim related tools. LOOT, NMM or Vortex, Wrye Bash, TES5Edit, etc. If using Vortex be sure to use the purge function before uninstalling. If using MO2 there is no need to uninstall.
2. Now uninstall Skyrim.
- In your Steam Library right click on Skyrim Special Edition and choose manage>uninstall.
- Exit Steam, not just the little “x” but in the file bar Steam>Exit.
- In File Explorer navigate to SteamSteamappsCommon and delete the Skyrim Special Edition folder.
- Now navigate to DocumentsMy Games and delete the Skyrim folder (backup your saves first as this will delete them, the saves may not work if you have mods already installed).
- Last, delete the Skyrim Special Edition folder in C:Users<your name>AppDataLocal
3. If your Steam is installed in Program Files or Program Files (x86) folder move it out of there. Mine is in C:Steam another drive is ok as well. Steam has a little guide for doing this. [link]
4. If you already have a registry cleaner use it now. If not then CCleaner does a good job and has a free version. [link]
5. Restart your computer.
6. Reinstall Skyrim Special Edition. (If you had a vanilla game to begin with just validate the files.) From your Steam Library right click Skyrim Special Edition and install. Once it installs it is a good idea to validate the files, just follow this guide, [link]
7. From your Steam Library launch Skyrim Special Edition and play through the tutorial (you can use tgm in the console if you want). Once outside the Helgen caves make 5 seperate hard saves.
8. Backup these vanilla saves.
- Make a folder on your Desktop called “Skyrim Backups”.
- The saves will be located in DocumentsMy GamesSkyrim Special EditionSaves, copy and paste the .ess files into the “Skyrim Backups” folder.
- Now you will always have 5 vanilla saves without having to deal with the intro again.
9. Set Skyrim to not update unless you want it to. In Steam go to your games Library and right click on Special Edition > Properties. In the Properties dialogue select the Updates tab. In the Automatic Updates section change the drop down to Only Update This Game When I Launch It. Click on the Close button to exit the dialogue. Now the game will only update when you run the launcher or skyrim.exe. If you run the game through SKSE it will not update. Here is a video by GamerPoets
[link]
You now have a vanilla game!!
2. Install Mod Organizer 2
1. Go to the Mod Organizer 2 Discord to get the latest version. [link] Download the archive version from the #dev-builds channel.
2. Now install.
Here is a handy little video by zDasF1xer
Or Here is one by Gamerpoets
3. When you first run MO2 you will be given a choice, instance or portable? The difference between the two is that instance stores all the data from your mods in the appdata folder or on the c: drive (or a folder you can set through the settings menu) and a single install of MO2 can be used for a lot of Bethesda games. Portable will put the data from your mods in the same folder it is installed to. Portable will require a separate installation of MO2 for each game.
If you choose instance you will be asked to name it, in the dropdown choose SkyrimSE. When MO2 starts you will be asked what game to manage, choose Skyrim SE. Next screen change the directory to wherever you want the instance stored.
If you choose Portable then you will be asked which game to manage, choose Skyrim SE.
4. When asked allow MO2 to handle NMM links.
5. There is a bug in SSE where if file attributes are not correct then the files may not show up in game. Luckily MO2 has a plugin to check for this and fix it for us. This feature is turned off by default as it adds a few seconds load time when any executable is ran through MO2. I will remind you at the end of the guide to turn this feature off once the mod list is installed and complete.
- In MO2 upper left click on the screwdriver and wrench button then select the Plugins tab.
- Upper left pane select Basic diagnosis plugin.
- Upper right pane double click on check_fileattributes and a drop down will appear.
- Use the drop down to set the attribute to true.
- Click OK to accept the change. MO2 will now fix any erroneous file attributes it finds.
6. That is it! MO2 is now ready to use.
3a. Installing xEdit and Cleaning the Master Files
An explanation of what dirty mods are follows. Nazenn wrote this for oldrim but the information is the same for SSE.
Mod’s, and indeed even Bethesda’s own files can run into problems with badly organised records. These are usually, and often seen via LOOT as being marked with a warning, of ITMs (Identical to Master records) or UDRs (Undeleted and Disabled References) [Note : The UDR term is a bit misleading. When a record is ‘undeleted and disabled’ it is actually fixed. It is the deleted records that haven’t been fixed that UDRs are actually pointing towards]
Similarly to the list’s discussed above in the Wrye Bash section, the rest of Skyrim’s data that isn’t related to levelled lists is stored in individual records. Lydia’s record for example contains all information about what skills she has, what voice she uses, what she wears, even what her fighting style is and more.
ITMs are when a file has a record that is 100 percent identical to the record that its master has (usually this master is Skyrim.esm). This can happen for a number of reasons. An edit that was reversed but not deleted, a record accidentally copied, or even an error in the Creation Kit.
UDRs on the other hand are usually objects that exist in the master files, but have been deleted from the world in the modded file (or, as above, in Bethesda’s own files). This sort of problem is usually less accidental and more done from lack of knowledge, or from older modding practices.Both ITMs and UDRs have their own problems. ITMs in mods can actually reverse changes in your other mods. Say you have a mod that edits Lydia’s fighting style so she now is a cowardly archer. If a mod that is lower in your load order has an ITM for Lydias record, it will accidentally be undo the changes. UDRs can have other, more serious repercussions. If a script, or another mod tries to reference an item that has been deleted, then the script, or other mod, may cease to function properly or throw off errors. This is because it is constantly searching for the missing object so it can do what it is meant to do.
ITMs are usually solved by just deleting the identical record, which removes the problem. However, some mods, including some very popular ones such as Convenient Horses, require certain ITMs to function. This is because a feature of the mod may rely on being certain that a record is properly formatted, or has the correct data in it, and therefore the mod can’t risk another mod changing it. While many of these cases are marked in LOOT and therefore won’t throw out a warning, many smaller mods do not submit this information to LOOT despite their ITMs being necessary. Cleaning these ITMs will break the mod. It is therefore recommended to NEVER clean ITM’s from a mod unless you are 100% certain that it is safe to do so, usually if you can read the record yourself, if it is INCREDIBLY obvious (a grasses mod editing perk trees), or if someone incredibly reliable has told you it is. You should instead report ITMs to the mod author via their comments or a personal message and ask them to confirm that it is necessary, or clean the mod file themself.
UDRs are solved a different way, actually by doing what their name suggests. It instead will undelete the offending item/record and marks it as disabled. This means that in game the script or mod can still find the item, which stops the errors, but because it is disabled you will not see any effects from it in your game which prevents the errors in game from happening. Cleaning UDRs is usually safe and beneficial to your save game under most, if not all, circumstances.While having clean mods is always preferable to having unclean mods. Knowing what is a dirty mod, and knowing what ‘dirty’ edits are essential (which makes that mod a clean mod) is the core thing to keep in mind.
From: [link]
1. Download and install SSEEdit.
[link]
You can also get the latest version from the #xEdit-builds channel on their Discord.
[link]
Here is a little video I did of installing xEdit and cleaning the master files;
[link]
2. xEdit will become the most valuable tool in your arsenal. To start we are going to set up two versions of xEdit to do a couple of the routine uses automatically, standard xEdit and cleaning plugins.
Note: Only clean mods when you know it is safe to do so, either the mod author or someone who knows the game well says it is safe.
Note: The finding plugins that can become light plugins (ESL flag) version of xEdit is no longer needed as there is a script to do this automatcially. I have left the instructions for setting it up for those that prefer to do things manually.
xEdit creates a cache folder to help itself load faster in the Data folder, MO2 will put this in the Overwrite folder instead so we will need to redirect the cache folder. this is the reason for the argument -c: “D: blah..blah..blah.
Go to where you installed xEdit and rename the exe from TES5Edit.exe (or SSEEdit.exe or etc.) to xEdit.exe.
3. In MO2 click on the dropdown upper right and choose <edit…>. In the Edit dialogue click the plus sign copy and paste the following quote box into the arguments box (changing it to match your xEdit installation location) then set them up to match the following…
Click Apply then the plus…
Note: There is now a script for xEdit that auto flags esl any plugins that are available so this iteration of xEdit is now redundant. I will leave it in the guide for those that still wish to do things by hand. Also I have left it, as well instructions on it’s use, in Appendix B. So it can be skipped and does not need to be set up.
Click Apply then the plus…
Click Apply then the plus…
Click Apply then OK to close.
4. We need to add a script to xEdit to automatically flag available plugins as ESL. So first download the script
- Apocrypher xEdit Scripts
[link]
Now open the archive with 7zip and extract the file into %%xEditEdit Scripts. The script will now be available for use in xEdit.
3b. Installing xEdit and Cleaning the Master Files
5. Now let’s clean the master files. Set MO2 to the xEdit Autoclean and click run. In the Module Selection dialogue select Update.esm only then ok. It will take awhile but when it finishes, in the right pane messages tab it will say Quick Clean mode finished and Background Loader: finished, exit xEdit.
6. Now in MO2 check your Overwrite folder, if anything is there delete it.
7. Repeat step 5 for the remaining DLC. Note: When cleaned the old way Dawnguard needed to be cleaned twice plus some manual edits. With the autoquickclean xEdit automatically cleans and saves the plugins three times. The manual edits will still need to be made.
8. Now, about those manual edits;
Open the xEdit we called, well, xEdit. In the Module Selection dialogue select Dawnguard.esm then OK.
9. Once it loads;
- A. In the FormID block upper left type in 16bcf <enter>
- B. In the right pane scroll down and find the header XEZN – Encounter Zone
- C. Under Dawnguard.esm column right click the header RiftenRatwayZone [ECZN:0009FBB9] then choose Remove. Once the count down ends click the Yes I’m Sure button.
10. Now in the left pane expand out Dawnguard to the record 1fa4c as shown in the picture below. Right click on this record and choose Remove. In the popup choose yes.
11. Last edit, remove record 6c3b6.
12. Exit xEdit to save. That’s it the masters are now cleaned.
4a. Install the Tools
Now to install all the other tools needed to successfully mod Skyrim.
1. Obtain the latest skse64 version from silverlock.org:
[link]
Just follow this guide.
[link]
or
Right click on the archive file you downloaded. Go to “Properties”. In the lower right corner you may see a checkbox labeled “Unblock”. Click on “Apply” and then “OK”. Extract your archive. (thanks to Chef for this)
Open the skse64 7Zip archive and extract these three files to your Skyrim installation folder (the same place where SkyrimSE.exe resides) (note: X’s are version numbers and they may differ because of updates. The link at silverlock.org will have the latest version).
skse64_1_X_XX.dll
skse64_loader.exe
skse64_steam_loader.dll
From the 7Zip archive, drag and drop the Data folder to the same folder where SkyrimSE.exe resides. There will already be a Data folder there, just confirm that you want to overwrite existing files with those from the archive.
Thanks to Mephitic for these install instructions.
2. Download and install LOOT [link]
3. Download and install Wrye Bash latest wip version from the #WIP-Builds channel on thier Discord
[link]
4. Download Fores New Idles in Skyrim SE. Download the Main File, the Creatures Pack and the Spells
[link]
- We will not be adding FNIS to the game yet, we only want the generatefnisforusers tool. For those not familiar with MO2, when you install a mod with MO2 you are only installing that mod into MO2. The mod gets installed into the game when checked in the left pane and the game is started through MO2.
- Click the “Mod Manager Download” button, if the download does not start in MO2 then click on the screw driver and wrench button upper left. In the dialogue that comes up select the Nexus tab. If the center pane says Connected then click Disconnect rom Nexus. Now click Connect to Nexus, your browser will popup and connect to Nexus, click the Authorise button. Once it says you are logged in exit your browser. Click OK in the MO2 dialogue then click Restart to finish the login. Every now and then you may need to do this again.
- Click the “Downloads” tab in MO2’s right pane, when FNIS finishes downloading double click to install, in the window that comes up there will be the message “no game data on top”. To fix this right click on the folder just below data and choose “set data directory” do this until you see “all is good” in green.
- Now do the same for the other two mods, except when asked choose Merge. Here is a little video [link]
5. Download and install into MO2 Bodyslide and Outfit Studio by Ousnius and Caliente
[link]
6. Download and install the Bethesda Launcher
- Now install the Creation Kit
- In the launcher click on the double arrows upper right. Then select Creation Kit Skyrim.
- In the window comes up click the install button.
- Select the check box to accept the EULA then the accept button.
- Next window click the install button.
- Once it finishes exit the launcher
- Be sure to run the CK once without MO2 in order to extract the script source. If you do this from within MO2 the extracted data will go into the Overwrite folder rather than the Data folder.
- Finally, we need to make a change in the creationkit.ini found in SteamsteamappscommonSkyrim Special Edition or wherever you have the Creation Kit installed to.
[General] bAllowMultipleMasterLoads=1
- Install the Creation Kit Fixes.
- Open the downloaded file with 7zip.
- Select all files then extract them into SteamsteamappscommonSkyrim Special Edition or wherever you have the Creation Kit installed to.
- Done!
7. Download and extract Mergeplugins by Mator to a folder somewhere. I have mine in D:Multigame ToolsMerge Plugins.
[link]
8. Download and install DynDOLOD. Download the current version of DynDOLOD directly from the links provided in Sheson’s Step project forum topic.
[link]You will require the current versions of both the DynDOLOD Standalone beta, and the Resources SE beta
The Standalone beta is not a mod; it is a group of applications, please do not try to install this with MO2. Instead extract it to a folder with the archive manager of your choice and copy the DynDOLOD folder to your desktop (easiest location for use)
The resources beta IS a mod. Install this with MO2 and when instructed in the guide you will move it to the top of your load order below Optimized Vanilla Textures and allow everything else to overwrite it. These are default LODs pre-generated for you. Thanks to Avrie for writing this.
In the installer choose Next, select Whiterun Exterior, Solitude Exterior, High Hrothgar Window Glow, DLC2 Vvardenfell 3D Plume then Install.
9. Download and extract BSA Browser (with .BA2 support) by AlexxEG to a folder somewhere. I have mine in D:Multigame ToolsBSA Browser.
[link]
10. Download and extract Cathedral Assets Optimizer by G_k to a folder somewhere. I have mine in D:Multigame ToolsBSA Browser.
[link]
11. Now to set up the tools in MO. But first exit MO2 then restart it, this will allow MO2 to autodetect some of the tools we just installed. Click on the executables dropdown upper right and choose <Edit…>
SKSE64 (if it is not automatically set)
LOOT (same as above, it may be automatically added)
Wrye Bash
FNIS
- This one is a little different, in MO2 left pane select FNIS then in the right pane Data tab scroll down to Tools > Generate_FNIS_for_Users and right click the GenerateFNISforUsers.exe then choose add as executable. Leave the name or shorten to FNIS as I do. Unselect FNIS in left pane for now.
Creation Kit (if not setup automatically)
]
Bodyslide and Outfit Studio
Note: If you have left the data tab open in MO2 right pane then you may need to refresh MO2 in order for Bodyslide to show.
- Similar to FNIS, select it then it is under Data tab Caliente Tools > Bodyslide > Bodyslide x64.exe. Do not forget to unselect it for now.
MergePlugins
TEXGen
DynDOLOD
BSA Browser
Cathedral Assets Optimizer
Not added to MO2
4b. Optional ENB
If your system can handle an ENB then just follow these directions to install The Truth ENB by phinix. For a comparison my current system is a Ryzen 5 with an RX580 4GB. Before ENB my fps was 50-60 after ENB it is 35-45 fps. Here is a video I did of me installing ENB and The Truth preset;
[link]
1. Download the newest ENB version. Next download The Truth ENB preset from Nexus. We will be extracting both of these into the main folder not Data.
- [link]
- First click on NEWS at the bottom of the page, then select Download on the left. Scroll down and select the TES Skyrim SE hyperlink. Click on the newest version at the bottom of the page linked then on the next page scroll to the bottom and click on the arrow beside the download button.
- [link] (You will need to set up a free account in order to download
2. Open the ENB in 7zip and extract d3d11.dll and d3dcompiler_46e.dll from the “WrapperVersion” folder to your main Skyrim Special Edition folder.
3. Open The Truth preset with 7zip and extract all into your main Skyrim Special Edition folder.
4. Go to your GPU control panel and make sure antialiasing is set to Application Controlled.
5. Run the SSE launcher through MO2 and make these settings…
- Main Dialogue
- Antialiasing set to TAA
- Windowed mode unchecked
- Advanced Dialogue
- Snow Shader unchecked
- Lens Flare unchecked
- 64-bit Render Target Checked
- Screen Space Ambient Occlusion unchecked
6. Make the following changes to SkyrimPrefs.ini (adding any not already present)
7. That’s it, test the game.
5a. UI / Initial Fixes
Time to begin installing mods!!
Here is a video of me installing this section.
[link]
1. Download and install the following mods. Just double click the mod in the “Downloads” tab right pane of MO. Choose the “Manual” button. If in the lower left of the window that comes up the writing is in red, then right click on the first folder after <data> and choose “Set Data Directory”. Once the writing is a green “Looks Good” click “OK” to install the mod. If the mod has an installer and I give no direction on what options to choose then it is personal choice and you can choose the options to suit your tastes.

2. Now to sort the left pane. But first an explanation is in order. When you run the game through MO2 MO2 first installs the mods to the virtual Data folder in the order listed in the left pane, overwriting loose files as needed. Once that is done the game now loads the files, bsa first according to right pane order then loose files as ordered by left pane overwriting as needed. Therefore for bsa only mods thier left pane order does not matter. But for loose files left pane does matter as that determines which one wins any conflicts. In my opinion workflow goes better if left pane is manually ordered to match LOOTed right pane. I have already LOOTed the load order and have sorted the left pane accordingly.
When I first sort the left pane I create a separator called End of List or something that stands out. Move that to the top on the left side. In the right pane, click on the 1st plugin at the top. It will highlight which mod it matches up to on the left side. Scroll down, grab that mod, move it up to just above the separator you created. Rinse, repeat. (Most of this last paragraph was by Chef, I changed some words to make it work here.)
So, activate all mods in the left pane except;
- Fores New Idles in Skyrim SE – FNIS SE
- Bodyslide and Outfit Studio
- DynDOLOD Resources SE
Now order your left pane to be…
- Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch
- moreHUD SE

3. Make the following changes to skyrim.ini to allow followers to sandbox over multiple floors. This is from the Multiple Floors Sandboxing mod description page, so thanks to Dovahklon CollinMacleod and Dukaath for the tweak. In MO2 upper left click on the puzzle pieces button then choose ini editor this will bring up the ini the game will use.
Please go to their mod page, download and endorse their mod. We are using the ini edits so we do not have to install another mod, but we should acknowledge their contribution and the sharing of the ini tweaks to save a mod slot.

5b. UI / Initial Fixes
5. Check for mods that may be form version = or < 43. See Appendix A. Note: Even though there are no old form version mods here I say to check as in my opinion it is a good habit of getting into. Doing this and the following every time you add mods to a mod list is, I believe, “best practices” in modding as stable a game as Bethesda games will allow.
6. Check for mods that can be turned into ESL flagged and do so. See Appendix B.
7. Check for mods that have wrongly ordered masters. See Appendix C.
8. Run LOOT to sort right pane.
9. Follow Appendix E to create a bashed patch with Wrye Bash.
10. Test the game. Just run around do a few quests, as well Nazeen gave excellent instructions for stress testing..
Stress testing:
There’s a lot of ways you can do this, and it all depends on what sort of data you are trying to gather or what you are trying to actually check. Some basic ones you can do that cover a wide range of things:General memory and processing test. Console commands needed:
– Player.setav speedmult 500
– TGM
Run around the map following the main roads and go to every province without stop. Ideally follow the main roads and visit each capital city in a cycle. You should run around for at least five minutes. If you crash thats fine, but if you start crashing in specific areas, this is a good indicator of where you may end up with issues in your game due to the area being more intensive then most.
I do not recommend TCL for this, despite some people saying it works, is because you end up missing spawn points for data and running into other issues such as skipping cell bounaries etc. Running along the roads is much more reliable. Also you should leave combat AI on for this test to ensure enemies are processing properly, and enemy ai breaks if you fly.Processing check. Console commands needed:
– TGM
– Help Mage
Go to a town or internal city, and spawn 25 fire and 25 ice mages. The intense NPC demands of this test, along with processing the masses of particle effects, along with faction demands and combat functions is a good test for your papyrus stability as an example of how well papyrus may run for you at EXTREME ends of battles, if you check your latency along with your games ability to keep up on the demands of calculating physics etc as well.
You can run this sort of test with other types of enemies as well, such as dragons and sabre cats versus guards, but thats more specific if you are having issues with navmeshing in an area that will generally expose it etc.A smaller memory check is to just turn off all the ai (tai, and tcai in the console), and run down from Helgen cave to Riverwood. This may seem like a simple run of the mill thing, but that road is exactly on the border between two cell boundaries which means you load approximately 50% more at any one time on that road then you do any other road in skyrim.
Just to clarify, as with all stress testing there’s importaint things to note:
– The best results are repeatable results. If you’re crashing every 5 minutes, or every time you go to Dawnstar, or every time a certain bar on the Performance Tester peaks you may have an issue. But if you crash first at 10 minutes and then 20 and then 5, it may just be your game or your engine
– Stress tests are by nature more then the game will usually ever have thrown at it at any one time. You should expect worse stuttering and lag, and occasionally crashes. The goal is to see how well your game copes with being under such intense situations when it comes to being able to play catchup, not haveing 60fps during these tests.Also importaint to note, you may have bugs in your game that are litterally impossible to test for or discover outside of normal gameplay, either because they are reliant on quests happening, or its just how your saves deteriorate over time. It sucks, it really does, but its a thing. Along with this, save bloat isn’t about how large your saves are, its about how quickly they grow. There is an upper limit on saves where its like ‘okay this is in the save bloat range’ but thats when its like 50mb on a heavily modded game. My saves start off at 20mb and thats fine, but they still grow as slowly as a vanilla game even though they start out larger.

6. Make the following changes to your skyrim.ini file. Copied from ABT’s Nexus page.
- So, if you’ve installed both Faster tweaks and added the lines to your Skyrim.ini file, it should look like this:
- Remember: If you don’t have an [Actor] and/or [Combat] section in your Skyrim.ini file already, just add them (after [General] section for example).
- Important information by Avrie
Note for Screen Archers – The amount gravity drops your arrow in flight is varied by the type of bow, and also the speed of the arrows you choose. You might need to lower your aim correction slightly for a strong bow with fast arrows. Practice with a target at a normal distance and lower the setting from .7 to .6 or .5 and retest if the aim spot is high. You can also choose to lower the speed of the arrow as well. The combination that feels right to you is the correct setting.
7. Clean Reverb and Ambiance Overhaul and Hunterborn.esp of their ITMs. Refer to section 3a step 5 for a refresher if needed.
8. Use Appendix E to create a bashed patch, remember to delete the old first!
9. Test the game.

8a. Textures / Effects
Now let’s make Skyrim prettier, but first a small introduction to textures, what to look for and how to choose the best textures for your game and system. What you see on the screen in Skyrim can be broken down into two main parts, the mesh (.nif) and the texture (.dds). I think of them this way; the mesh is the “frame” and the texture is the “skin”. If you have ever seen things in your game all a shiny purple you were missing the textures and seeing only the mesh. A mismatch between meshes and textures can cause things such as gaps or seams.
When I choose textures and I have a choice between different mods supplying the same texture I look at not only the quality of the texture but how well it will fit into the gameworld. A texture that makes the stone fences out of shiny perfect marble while the rest of the game keeps it’s grayish end of the world feel then the texture added will be out of place and look horrible no matter how well made the textures are.
Most mod authors give different size options for thier textures, 512, 1k, 2k, 4k. The size chosen depends on a number of factors. The first being what is the object being retextured and what size is it in game. For instance, unless you are mainly setting up your game for screenshots, why on earth would anyone need 4k lockpicks? For something so small in game under normal play you will not notice the difference between 512 and 4k textures and your gpu will not work as hard to display them. Next thing to consider; can your system handle the size textures your using? My 920m would melt if I threw a bunch of 4k textures at it. So most of my textures are 1k. 2k for the big stuff and 512 for the really inconsequential stuff. But the most important thing is do you like it?
Here are a couple of videos of me installing this section
[link]
1. Install the following mods (unless you do not like the ones I chose, then use ones you like or none, Simply Optimized Vanilla Textures is the only exeption);
- Simply Optimized Textures for SSE by Abendaron
[link]- Download and install the esp/bsa version, This esp is an empty plugin so the bsa will load. Since these are vanilla textures we want all mods to overwrite this one, therefore we want it as high in the load order as possible. There is no need for it to take up a plugin slot either, so we will convert it to light master (.esl), skip to Appendix B for a mini-tutorial.

What I did was I edited the “WTF WayFarer Coat CBBE.xml” file located at “DataCalienteToolsBodyslideSliderGroups” via notepad.
Edited the 2nd line <Group name=”CBAdvanced”> to <Group name=”CBBE”> then save. That’s it launch bodyslide again then the presets will be loaded.
To get to the file right click on the mod in the left pane and choose Information. Select the File Tree tab then expand out CalienteTools folder till you get to the file, right click it then choose open in explorer. Right click it in explorer and choose open with > notepad. Here is a quick video

5. Check and make sure plugin masters are correctly sorted see Appendix C.
6. Clean BSHeartland – Unofficial Patch.esp, see section 3 for a refresher if needed.
7. Follow Appendix E to create a bashed patch (be sure all plugins are activated in MO2 right pane). You deleted the old one first right?
8. Test the game.
15a. LODGen / DynDOLOD
Video of section installation
[link]
Thanks to Avrie for this section!!
First a very short explanation. (Well short for me anyway 😉
Limited Object Detail or LOD is basically a low-resolution copy of “static” objects in the external game world. Mountains, trees, buildings … Etc. The game uses LOD files instead of the actual texture files in order to preserve the appearance of distant objects, without the need to render all those beautiful 4K textures all of the time. (Which not even a 2080Ti with 16 Gig of Vram could handle.)
We won’t go into detail here on the types of LOD files. For that I would HIGHLY recommend sitting down with a nice cup of something good and actually open the included DynDOLOD manual. It’s in the Docs folder right where you expect. It’s well done, easy to navigate, and seriously worth a look.
Activate DynDOLOD Resources SE and place it right after Simply Optimized Textures for SSE in the left pane.
In some cases where billboards are not supplied by the author, it might be necessary to run xLODGen manually. This can be done for the world at large, or for specific mods. I prefer creating mod specific LODs, but the instructions are basically the same.
*Note this is also required for DynDOLOD to recognize certain flora mods correctly. Not running xLODGen and installing the output could result in a “missing billboard error” after initializing the script. If you see a missing Billboard error, running xLODGen is the solution to the problem*
Creating the required LOD’s with xEdit’s LODGen module
Open the LODGen xEdit set up in section 3
Click on the shortcut and select all mods (This is where a specific mod can also be selected)
Wait for the background loader to finish
Right click in the Select Worldspace window and “Select All”
Make sure that both the Objects LOD, (with build atlas, the defaults settings are fine) and Trees LOD are selected and click “Generate”
When you see the message “LOG Generator Finished (you can close the application now)” do so
Right click on the overwrite folder and choose Create Mod
Name the mod “LODGen_Output”, (or LODGen_Mod) enable the mod and place it with your other output files at the bottom of the load order. This will insure that you see the correct flora, rock and mountain textures in the distance as you approach. This extra step minimizes “popping in” as you travel Tamriel even if you choose not to use DynDOLOD.
Sheson has developed an external application that runs on top of ElminsterAU’s amazing xEdit LODGen. In essence making it a smarter version of LODGen. It can tell the game to continue to render dynamic objects like waterfalls, rivers, windmill blades and even people. But DynDOLOD doesn’t stop there, it also makes sure you can see the shadows of passing clouds, fires burning in the distance, lights in the windows of mod added houses, and even that flickering candle on the porch. It brings life to your game world in a way that you simply must experience for yourself.
The DynDOLOD resources mod that you already installed contains all the required scripts, and premade LODS for the vanilla game. Any new mods or textures you add that include LOD files should always be allowed to over write the resources Mod, this is by design.
First we need to have you download and install any author supplied LOD files. (Billboards) DyDOLOD does not create LOD files for cities, mountains or forests… Huge things. We will install billboard files (Mod supplied LOD files) For the creation of those. Installation of billboard files is straight forward. The rule of thumb is very simple. Install the LOD billboards directly below the mod it supports. In some case like Beyond Skyrim Bruma, more than one billboard file needs to be installed. There can be exceptions to the rule, if say a mod interferes with another mods LOD, you would want to move the correct LOD file below the other mod, like any other texture in this guide … the lower file (higher priority) wins
First you need to run the TexGen application which as the name implies scans all of the textures you’ve installed and creates the core datafile DynDOLOD will use to create the LOD files in the next step. The application defaults to 256K which is fine for most systems. Accept the default size and output formats and click start. When the application has completed click Exit, but we’re not quite done. Open the DynDOLOD folder on your desk top, and the TexGen_Output folder. Right click on Textures, and create an archive called TexGen_<profile name> using the archive manager of your choice. Install the TexGen archive near the bottom of your load order.
(For weaker systems you might wish to reduce to 128K to conserve Vram, for super computers running native 4K you can always use 512K but it really isn’t needed)
With the output of TexGen archived, and installed we can now run the DynDOLOD application. When DynDOLOD opens click on advanced.
In the top left corner window are all the child worlds in the game. Right click and “Select All” then depending on your system click either High, Medium, or Low. I would recommend testing on High and only reducing to medium if your system shows signs of noticeable stuttering.
Also as shown in the above pic. I would recommend adding a check in the boxes for; Load Rules for Candles, Windows, and Fake Lights Child worlds. All other settings can remain at default.
Click on OK and be patient while DynDOLOD applies its scripts to your build. This can take upwards of 12 to 15 minutes in a large build even with a good system and fast drives. It’s a great time to have a look through the manual … Trust us it’s worth the wait.
The only drawback being that any time you make changes to the external game world such as adding or removing a player home (as an example) you would need to delete and replace both the TexGen output, and the DynDOLOD output, then re-run the applications on the updated load order.
(Otherwise, let’s say you uninstall a mod added house, you would still see a house in the distance, and it would suddenly vanish just as you got close. It’s not rocket science. If you make changes to the world, update DynDOLOD. It only takes a few minutes.)
When the application completes; Open the DynDOLOD folder on your desk top, and the DynDOLOD_Output folder. Select everything, Right click and “Add to Archive” call it DynDOLOD_Output_<Profile Name> (Simplifies using multiple profiles)
Install the Output file with MO2 and place at the very bottom of the load order. Activate it, then move the created DynDOLOD.esm plugin to the bottom of the other masters. DynDOLOD is now correctly installed. The first time you enter an exterior cell you should notice a message pop up briefly saying DynDOLOD has successfully initialized. You won’t see any radical changes to your game, but be forewarned that some of the subtle changes will just leave you staring at the screen in awe.
15b. LODGen / DynDOLOD
Sort your left pane to be;
- Simply Optimized Textures for SSE

- SKSE Stuff
- Racemenu Presets
- LOD Output
- TexGen Output
- DynDOLOD_Output
16a. Optional Race Mod
This section is optional and can easily be left out. Or if you do not like the Lunari race then add in any race that you do like. The Lunari race is an oldrim mod and requires a patch for the scripts but it was my favorite race from oldrim so we will include it here.
1. Download and install the following mods;
- RaceCompatibility for Skyrim Special Edition by TMPhoenix
[link]- In the installer choose USSEP, Moonlight Tales do not install, No Vampire Overhaul, Optional Vampire Lord Transform fix script install then install.
- Lunari Race by bhaktisean
[link]- This is a mod oldrim and the plugin must be converted to form 44, follow appendix A to do so
- lunari race sse compatibility addon by xrayy
[link]
2. Select all mods in left pane then check for eligibility for light master (Appendix B) and form 43 (Appendix A).
3. We need to convert the meshes and textures from Lunari Race to be compatible with SSE, see appendix L for instructions on how to do this.
4. Make sure all plugins are active in right pane except
- These mods need to remain deactivated until you complete the Unbound quest, see Helgen Reborn Description page for starting instructions.

6. Check all mods for incorrectly ordered masters (Appendix C).
7. Use Appendix E to create a bashed patch, remember to delete the old first!
8. Test the game.
17. Starting a Playthrough {possibly eternal WIP}
Delete your bashed patch, FNIS output, SKSE Stuff (remember when you start your playthrough you will need to make a mod out of the new SKSE output). Create new versions of them all. Remember it always best to delete old output when updating.
Refer to section 2 step 5 and set the attribute back to false.
Most of the MCM settings will be personal choice, and to be honest I leave nearly all of the settings available default. But if you like to tweak things, welcome to heaven. For the MCM mods I do not list the options are either personal choice or non-existent. For mods that need to be started I will list them here, as well as some of the tweaks I do every game. If the mod has the ability to save a preset then you will need to make a mod out of it as it will be in your overwrite folder. You do not want to put presets in your SKSE Stuff mod (i.e. Frostfall info) as that is game save specific stuff. Presets can be used across multiple saves.
A Matter of Time – The default location is upper left which is the position game messages and follower stats show. So to move it to the lower left make the following changes;
EFF – Extensible Follower Framework – For some reason the Outfit plugin is disabled by default. Enable it.
Frostfall – Must be activated.
Immersive HUD – I use a controller so I set the hot key to one of the two free buttons. You will want to select key press toggles. Then select link all SkyUI widgets.
Lock Overhaul – Must be activated.
PC Headtracking – Must be turned on. Then I would suggest selecting Humanize and setting the tracking distance to 500.
Realistic Needs – Must be activated.
SkyUI – Set quantity menu min. count to 3
Stackable Stones of Barenziah (SSOB) – Turn on the quest markers
Immersive Spell Learning – Needs to be activated
As always Wrye Bash sometimes gets things wrong. Just adjust the bashed patch as described below.
- First one is death items on Draugr. With Coins of Tamriel gold should be removed from ruins and Allessia added in it’s place. Since this is handled by the leveled lists WB merges some vanilla edits back in. Just follow this little video I made.Or, this video of me completely fixing the Bashed Patch. It is intended for reference only and not for something to follow along. [link]
18. Updates / Updating
Basically once you have started a playthrough leave the load order alone. Once you are done with the playthrough then update your mods.
Appendix A. Converting a Mod to Form Version 44
Here is a short video of me converting a mod to form 44;
[link]
1. In MO2 check the triangle with an exclamation point, if it is red click on it. If there are any form 43 or less plugins it will say Form 43 (or lower) plugin detected. If it says that then select the message to show which mods are form 43 or less. Take note of them.
2. Now we need to use the Creation Kit (CK) to convert the plugin to form version to 44. Open the CK and choose File>Data. In the pop up double click <<your bad esp>> to select it, make sure <<your bad esp>> is highlighted then click Set as Active File button, finally click ok.
3. Wait for it to load, ignore any and all errors.
4. Wait for it….go fix a sandwich or something, maybe freshen up…
5. Wait for it….
6. Once it finally loads choose File > Save. Exit the CK
7. Check your overwrite folder, if there are any folders there and you got warnings from the CK regarding Face tint data then drag and drop the files into the mod that was converted. (Housecarls have Lives is an example)
8. Repeat steps 2-9 for any other mods noted in step 1.
Done! MO2 should not find any version 43 or less mods.
Appendix B. Converting a Plugin to Light Plugin or Light Master
First some information on how the .esl and ESL flag works in relation to the load order and when records / assets load see this thread I made as well as a nice video by GamerPoets…
[link]
Here is a short video for doing this;
[link]
1. Open xEdit and load in your load order.
2. Once it loads right click anywhere in the left pane and choose Apply Script…
3. In the dialogue window click on the drop down and scroll down to the SimpleESLify script and select it. Click OK.
4. In the right pane select the messages tab if it is not already selected and when it says Done Applying script exit xEdit to save any that were flagged.
Note: This way of doing it is not necessary but I will leave these instructions here.
1. Open xEdit to find ESL we made when setting up the tools. Load in your full load order. Once it loads if the Flags column in the left pane is not visible click on the hamburger (three lines upper left) and choose Options. In the Options General tab select Show file header flags then ok. there will be a new column in the left pane and whenever you are searching for files if it has the FExxx and the flag is blank add the ESL flag, helps when you already have a bunch of ESL already.
2. Ignore .esl files. Any mod marked FExxx (i.e. FE006) is available for the esl flag. SkyUI should be the first one you see. So select it in the left pane.
3. In the right pane, right click on the Record Flags header and choose Edit.
4. In the pop up window select ESL then Ok.
5. Click on the Hamburger (three lines upper left) and choose Save.
6. Repeat for all other files marked FExxx.
7. Exit xEdit to save the file(s). If the guide is directing you here to only flag a file(s) ESL then return to where you were in the guide.
We will use Optimized Vanilla Textures as an example. It is an empty esp and is only used to load the bsa. As well, since this is vanilla textures we will want it to be overwritten by everything so having it as a light master allows us to load it right after the dlc.
1. Open the CK and load the Optimized Vanilla Textures esp and set it as active file.
2. Once the CK loads choose File>Convert Active File to Light Master.
3. Exit the CK.
4. Check and see if the .esl is in your overwrite, move it to the Optimized Vanilla Textures mod.
5. We now need to hide the esp see Appendix I.
6. Activate the new .esl in the right pane. Done!
Appendix C. Sorting Master Files within a Plugin
1. Open Wrye Bash, once it opens look for any plugins in the left pane with pink or orange check boxes. Take note of them, then see appendix E to create a bashed patch.
2. Open xEdit and load in the mods you noted in the previous step.
3. Once it loads in the left pane right click on one of the plugins and choose Sort Masters (to match current load order).
4. Click on the hamburger (upper left 3 lines) and choose save.
5. Rinse and repeat for all the plugins noted in step 1.
6. Exit xEdit.
Appendix D. Creating a FNIS Patch
1. In MO2 in the executables drop down select the FNIS executable.
2. In the window that comes up select
- Gender Specific Animations
- Skeleton Arm Fix
3. Click the Update FNIS Behavior button and wait for it to finish before clicking Exit. The FNIS program may loose priority in W10 and move behind other open programs, just select it in the task bar to bring it back to the top.
4. Now use Create a Mod to move the files from your overwrite. Put it at the bottom of your mod list.
5. Whenever redoing the patch I would recommend deleting the old FNIS patch before creating the new one.
Appendix E. Creating a Bashed Patch
1. Open Wrye Bash.
2. Scroll to the bottom of the left pane and right click on Bashed Patch, 0.esp then choose Rebuild Patch.
3. In the pop up window unselect all options except leveled lists then click the Build Patch button.
4. Wait for it to finish.
5. Next pop up choose OK. When asked click OK to activate the patch. Exit Wrye Bash.
6. Create a mod for the bashed patch out of MO2’s Overwrite folder. Activate the patch in both left and right panes.
7. Done! One note, I would recommend to delete the old bashed patch when ever creating a new one.
If needed here is a short video of creating the patch.
[link]
Appendix F. Setting Metadata for a Plugin in LOOT
1. These instructions will use Optimized Vanilla Textures esl as an example. Open LOOT.
2. In the right pane find VanillaOptimized.esl and click on the three dots to the right. Choose Edit Metadata.
3. In the added window use the drop down beside Group to add it to the Creation Club group. Click the save icon. Now when you sort this esl will always load right after the DLC.
1. These instructions will use Hothtrooper44_ArmorCompilation.esp and Hothtrooper44_Armor_Ecksstra.esp as an example. Open LOOT.
2. In the right pane click the three dots beside Hothtrooper44_ArmorCompilation.esp and choose Edit Metadata.
3. In the popup select the load after tab. In the left pane find Hothtrooper44_Armor_Ecksstra.esp then drag and drop it into the metadata popup right pane.
4. Click the save icon then resort your load order and exit.
Appendix G. Bodyslide
Here is a quick video of me running Bodyslide for the guide…
[link]
By: Mephitic
1) Install the following according to the guide:
- Bodyslide/Outfit Studio according to the instructions in Section 4
- CBBE and any skin textures according to the instructions in Section 11
- CBPC Physics according to the instructions in Section 11
- FNIS according to the instructions in Section 4
2) Start Bodyslide from within MO2.
3) Select CBBE Body Physics in the Outfit/Body dropdown box.
4) Select a preset in the Preset dropdown box. I have selected the CBBE Slim but most any of them will perform just fine. Don’t select any of the (Outfit) presets or SevenBase presets nor the Zeroed Sliders preset, if it is present.
At this point you can press the Preview button and examine what your selected body preset will look like in game. You can also adjust the sliders if you wish but this is not recommended at this time unless you are very familiar with Bodyslide and also Outfit Studio.
Adjusting the sliders will likely cause some clipping issues with clothing and armor that will need to be subsequently adjusted with Outfit Studio and those operations are beyond the scope of this guide.
5) Check the Build Morphs checkbox.
6) Press the Batch Build button.
7) in the Batch Build popup dialog, all selections will be initially checked. Deselect all the Northgirl pieces with [static] in the name, CBBE Body, CBBE Body Special, CBBE Hands Beast, CBBE Nevernude, CBBE Nevernude Physics (unless you chose this during CBBE install, then deselect CBBE Body Physics and CBBE Underwear Physics), CBBE Underwear, CBBE Underwear Physics (unless you chose this option then CBBE Body Physics and CBBE Nevernude Physics would be deselected).
8) Press the Build button and in the next dialogue window select all the ones marked physics, yes there are a lot of them and yes it will take awhile, but you want physics on most outfits don’t you? Tab then down arrow tab etc. makes it go quicker. Once done click ok and wait for it to finish, you should see the completion message.
9) Close Bodyslide.
10) Bodyslide will place NIF files in its own mod folders and also MO2 will now tell you that you have files in your overwrite folder. You can choose to move the TRI files therein to either
A) a mod created specifically for Bodyslide output files or
B) a mod that contains other files from the overwrite folder that have been created by other tools and mods.
I prefer to create separate overwrite mods for each tool or mod that creates them but it is your choice.
If you choose to make an overwrite mod for Bodyslide, then right-click on you overwrite folder in MO2 and select Create Mod…, select a name (I use Bodyslide Output) – note that although the TRI files are created by Bodyslide, they are specific to CBBE, so I put them there.
11) Run FNIS according to the instructions in Appendix D.
12) Test your game. Remove all armor and weapons from your character and move around a bit to make sure the body conforms to your selections and that physics are working as expected.
If you want any of your female followers or custom NPC’s to have the same body as your character, follow these steps after building the body and outfits. This also ensures that these characters’ clothing and armor will fit the body.
Open a Windows Explorer window and navigate to MO2’s “mods” folder.
In the Search box (the one with the magnifying glass) enter “femalebody_0.nif” (no quotes).
That will display a list of folders that contain a NIF file of that name.
Find the one that is the one you recently built. It will be in the “Caliente’s Beautiful Bodies Enhancer -CBBE-” folder.
Highlight that entry and right-click on it and select “Open file location”
You’ll see a bunch of NIF files here but we’re only interested in six of them:
femalebody_0.nif
femalebody_1.nif
femalefeet_0.nif
femalefeet_1.nif
femalehands_0.nif
femalehands_1.nif
You can leave this window open and copy the files from here but I find it a bit more convenient to copy these files to a temporary folder and copy them from there.
Now re-generate the list of locations for femalebody_0.nif. As described above:
Open a Windows Explorer window and navigate to MO2’s “mods” folder.
In the Search box (the one with the magnifying glass) enter “femalebody_0.nif” (no quotes).
That will display a list of folders that contain a NIF file of that name.
For each location EXCEPT the “Caliente’s Beautiful Bodies Enhancer -CBBE-” folder, do this:
Right-click on the entry and select “Open file location”.
You will see at least the six NIF files listed above. Depending on the mod, there may be more but we will only be concerned with these six.
In this folder, right-click in the main area of the window and select New->Folder, and name the new folder “Orig” (no quotes). We do this to have the originals in case you wish to revert to those body versions at some future point (it is unlikely but this is the safe option).
Move (not copy) the six NIF files above (again, only those files) from here to the Orig folder.
Copy the six NIF files to here from the CBBE folder or the temp folder if you used that method.
Do the above for all folders that appear in your “find” list.
You will note that as you progress through these steps, the “find” list will grow each time you regenerate it because you have two copies of femalebody_0.nif in the folders you have already modified — one will be in the Orig folder.
All done. Delete the temp folder if you used it.
All of the female bodies in the mods we listed will now use the same body as your character and the outfits you built will fit seamlessly.
Appendix H. Merging Plugins
Merging mods is just about the last step in the learning process of handling mods. The reason for this is that one of the prime requirements for merging mods is that you have a completely stable, nonconflicting game. Every mod that you are going to merge together should be known to work with not only the mods you are merging with it, but also with every other mod in your load order. In addition, your load order should be finalized to the point that you will not be removing mods from it – every mod in your load order should be pretty much set before you begin merging mods. You may want to add more in, but you should not be taking any out (and any that you may add, should be tested on a clean, test save to ensure that they will work with all the others).
The safest mods to merge are patches that effect one mod so that it can work well with others – and these are usually the most numerous mods in an individual’s load.
Other mods that you may want to merge are those which have separate .esps, but which do not really need them to be separate, such as a mod which has an .esp for males and another for females – no need to have two, so merge them into one! Or mods that are similar, such as weapon mods, or armor mods, or clothing mods which are loose files and are just one or a few items each. No need for separate .esps for each one – just merge them together. As you get more experienced you may want to do even more, but for now, it’s best to just keep it simple.
(In case anyone is wondering, merging mods which contain .BSAs are a topic that goes beyond the intent and purpose of this summary and guide – suffice to say you can – but as it exceeds the scope of this guide, it won’t be covered here.)
As to the location of a merged file in the load order, that depends upon what files have been merged together – if the files are all from an early part of the order, the merged patch should be placed early (in a place that corresponds as closely as possible to the location of the original files); if files were towards the bottom, then place the merged mods’ file at the bottom (again in a location closely corresponding to position of the parent files).
(This is a good place to note that the mods being merged need to be placed adjacent to each other in the load order, with no mods which are not to be merged placed among them.)
As in anything involving load order, the important thing is that files are not being overwritten when they shouldn’t be; provided that there is nothing overwriting a file’s info that shouldn’t, and that that file is not overwriting others that it shouldn’t, it is irrelevant where in the order that a particular file is located.
One final thing it is important to note – merge your mods BEFORE they have become included in a save. Merging will change form IDs, so when you deselect the original mods, it is the same as deleting those mods from your playthrough – a major no as it will break the save, and the game, as the information from the unmerged mods (with the original form IDs) will have been baked into the save.
To put it all together:
1. Ensure that your load order and all the mods are stable and do not cause any problems.
2. Finalize your load to the point that you will not be removing any mods.
3. Ensure that everything is compatible and all or any patches necessary are present in your load.
4. Test the game. If it runs with no problems, make a hard (manual) save and keep it as a backup, just in case you have to roll back.
5. Select the mods you wish to merge – and keep it simple.
6. Merge – and once merged, reload merged file in xEdit and check for any errors.
7. Install and place the Merged file in the proper place in your load order.
8. Test to ensure that everything functions as it should with the merged file installed.
Thanks to SMR1957 for that introduction to merging plugins. So for an example we will merge the Shep’s Tattoo Collection plugins. There is no need to have the female and male tattoos in separate plugins, just follow the instructions below.
Here is a video of me merging the plugins;
[link]
- Use an empty profile in MO2 and activate only the Shep’s Tattoo Collection mod. Then run Merge Plugins (MP) through MO2 selecting SSE as the MP profile to use.
- In the Plugin Selection dialogue insure the plugins Sheps_Male_Tattoo_Collection.esp and Sheps_Tattoo_Colection.esp are the plugins selected then click Ok.
- Before we do anything Merge Plugins by default puts it’s output into the folder Merges in it’s install directory, you can leave it there and drag and drop the new plugin into the appropriate mods folder or as I do change the ouput to MO2’s overwrite folder. To change the output folder;
- Click on the gear button to open the Options dialogue
- Select the Merging tab.
- Click the little folder icon to the right of the Merge destination directory then select the folder you want the output to go to. For me it is C:UserscfsneAppDataLocalModOrganizerGuideoverwrite
- Click Ok to close the dialogue window and save your changes
- In the left pane of merge plugins right click each plugin and choose Check for Errors. Once it completes for each a little green circle with a check mark will appear in the flags column, showing the plugin is ready for merging.
- Now click the big green plus button in the top left and in the Edit Merge dialogue give the merge and the new plugin a name, for this I am using ShepsTattooCollection.esp, leave everything else the same and click Ok.
- Now in the left pane right click each plugin again but this time choose Add to Merge > Sheps Tattoo Collection.
- Click on the little hammer button to build the merge. When it is done click close.
- If you put the merge ouput to go to Overwrite then simply drag and drop the new esp into the Sheps Tattoo mod left pane, you can then delete the other stuff left there by MP.
- Almost done! Now, use Appendix I to hide the two plugins we just merged and select the new one in the right pane of MO2. Run LOOT. Now, check for ESL flag or incorrectly sorted masters, Appendices B and C. Now we are done!!
Appendix I. Hiding Plugins and Assets in MO2
1. To hide an esp in MO left pane right click the mod in the left pane and choose Information > Optional esp tab.
2. Select the esp you wish to hide in the Available ESPs window then click the up arrow, the esp will be moved to the Optional ESPs window and not show in the right pane.
3. Click close to exit the dialogue. Yes it is that easy.
We are using Ultimate HD Fire Effects from section 8 which has a very bright glow on some fires. It appears to be a single mesh; FXFirewithEmbers01_cheap.nif.
1. In the left pane right click Ultimate HD Fire Effects then choose Information.
2. In the dialogue choose the File Tree tab then expand meshes > effects folders.
3. Right click on FXFirewithEmbers01_Cheap.nif file then choose Hide.
4. The file should now have .mohidden added to the end making MO2 and the game to ignore the file. Click close. That’s it easy as pie!
Appendix J. Fixing Black Face Bug
So far I have found 2 NPC with the black face bug, Erdi from the mod My Erdi in section 12 and Phenderix Magic Vendor from the mod Phenderix Magic Evolved in section 11. The following video is for fixing Erdi. But it is a simple process.
[link]
1. Open CK and select the mod with the black faced NPC then set as active file. Load the mod.
2. Find the NPC with the black face bug and select them without opening.
3. Hit ctrl-f4, then select ok. Once the CK finishes select done.
4. Save and exit the CK.
5. In MO2 open the Overwrite folder and drag and drop the Mesh and Textures folder into the mod the NPC belongs to.
Appendix K. Extracting a File from a BSA and Adding as a Mod
This is something that rarely needs to be done, but according to LOOT Sofia follower mod has a file conflict with SkyUI that can not be fixed by load order manipulation. There are two ways to fix this. The most complicated would be to extract Sofia’s BSA and remove the file then repack the BSA. The simplest method will be to simply extract a copy of the file from SkyUI and install it as a separate non-plugin mod. Here is a video of me performing this task.
[link]1. Open BSA Browser and click File > Open Archive then select the BSA for SKyUI by going to the Mods folder of MO2. For me the path is D:MO2 Guide InstancemodsSKyUI. Remember you can use the little folder icon in MO2 then choose Open Mods Folder to find the location as in the following picture
2. Once the BSA is open scroll down and find the file scriptsski_playerloadgamealias.pex and select it. then click the Extract Files button. In the dialogue that pops up choose your Desktop then right click and choose New Folder and name it Scripts then select this folder as the extraction location by double clicking it and clicking the Select Folder button. Once it finishes close BSA Browser.
3. Now on your Desktop right click the Scripts folder and choose 7zip > Add to archive. In the dialogue that comes up click browse to select the MO2 Downloads folder for me it is D:MO2 Guide Instancedownloads. Now rename the file from scripts.7z to SkyUI-Sofia Patch then choose the Open button. Now click OK to create the archive.
4. Install the mod as normal in MO2.
5. Activate it in the left pane and place it in the Misc separator.
6. That’s it done!!
Appendix L. Converting Meshes and Textures from Oldrim
When Bethesda up dated Skyrim to 64 bit they changed the way meshes and textures are structured. It is an easy conversion using Cathedral Assets Optimizer (CAO). For this appendix we will use the Lunari Race mod as an example. Here is a short video on doing so
[link]
1. Open CAO outside of MO2 (does not matter if MO2 is running or not). Use the drop down at the top to set SSE as the profile if it is not already.
2. Click the Open Directory button, in the pop up dialogue make way to the installation folder for the Lunari Race in the MO2 mods folder. Remember you can use the Folder icon in MO2 to find it’s location, mine is D:MO2 Guide Instancemods. And then click the Select Folder button.
3. Now, in the BSA tab make sure nothing is checked.
4. Meshes tab check Process meshes, Necessary Optimization and Always process head parts like so…
4. Textures tab Check Process textures, Necessary optimization, Compress textures and Generate mipmaps.
5. Animations tab nothing check.
6. Make sure the upper right drop down is set to One mod then click the Run Button.
7. When the Status bar at the bottom says done click the Log tab and insure all the writing is in green, if there is any red reinstall the mod and try again.
8. Exit CAO and your done!
Appendix M. Disable a Reference with xEdit
Every now and then we may find that an object added by one mod is placed oddly due to changes made by another mod. An example of this is a laundry line added by Immersive Laundry is blocking the entrance to a little shack added to the Riverwood Trader. There are two ways to fix this; one is to use the CK to reposition the line, or even easier simply disable the object with xEdit. We will go the easier route and disable the reference (object).
Again we have two ways in which to do this. We could make a patch for the mod with a new plugin or make the change in the mod itself. In my opinion it is better to just make the change in the mod itself saving a plugin slot and give us less to track in our load order. Here is a short video of me making the change;
[link]
1. Open xEdit and load in Immersive Laundry only. Right click in the Module Selection dialogue and choose Select None. In the Filter box type in Laundry then select the plugin Laundry.esp and click the OK button to load the mod.
2. Once it opens click into the FormID block and type in xx004A57 (where xx is the position of the mod in your load order, 02 in this case if you only loaded Laundry.esp in the last step) to bring up the record we want to disable.
3. In the right pane go to Record Header > Record Flags and right click then choose Edit. In the Edit Value dialogue select Initially Disabled then OK. Note: We will disable this reference rather than delete it as deleting it will create UDR condition and could cause CTD if anything calls upon this reference.
4. Exit xEdit to save and we are done!!
