How to install skse

Well if you’re reading this I can safely assume you’ve added Mods to your game that call for SKSE as a requirement (Any mod with an MCM section), or you started having what people tend to call «Random» crashes to desktop (CTDs) Either that or you’ve just gotten good advice from veteran Dova. No matter what brought you here welcome, you made the right call.

The installation of SKSE is very simple, and is required by many mods to extend the scripting capabilities of the Skyrim game engine. It is also the current home for the Sheson Memory patch which will significantly reduce the occurrence of CTDs in a modded game.

The best place to get the current files are from the source.

There is an installer version, but please use the «7z Archive» version as the installation instructions provided below require it, and allow for easier testing and replacement/re-installation if required.

SKSE installation is very simple.

Navigate to your downloads folder and extract the skse_1_07_03 archive to a folder using your default archive manager. Typically, you would right click on it and select “Extract to ” Then copy the following files into your Skyrim Game folder (Not the data folder) Typically, X:/Steam/Steamapps/Common/Skyrim/ (where X: is your game drive)

That’s it for the required files, but SKSE has a few more steps to complete the installation for the memory tweak. First we need to make sure you can see what you’re supposed too. Jump into your Windows Control Panel for a second, and open up the “File Explorer Options” If you don’t see it, pull down the “View by:” menu in the top right corner and change it to small or large icons.

In the File Explorer Options window …
Click on the View tab, then click on “Show hidden Files, Folders, and drives”
Also, remove the check from “Hide Extensions for known file types”
That’s it all done, click apply and close the window. (If we didn’t do that first, you might have trouble doing the edits)

Jump back to the skse_1_07_03 folder, and open the “data” folder (Not the one in your game folder)

Inside right click and copy the scripts folder, then paste it into the first SKSE folder on the desktop. When you open the SKSE folder on the desktop you should see both the SKSE, and the Scripts folders inside. Now, select both folders, right click, and «Add to archive» using your preferred archive manager. Leave it named SKSE, and Click OK.

Open your Mod Manager, and install the SKSE archive you just made into your game. Set it as active, and move it near the top of your load order. SKSE is now properly installed. Remember if your Mod Manager supports profiles you will need to add the SKSE mod to all active profiles.

Now along came Sheson, one of the true giants in modding; who has had more than a few shrines dedicated to him and rightly so. The original Sheson memory patch increased that initial space to 512Mb which significantly improved the stability of a modded game. (There are reasons you’ll still see people mention sacrificing their first born to Sheson)

When the Skyrim Script extender was introduced, that patch was moved into SKSE and increased to 768Mb which was even better. But since then, we’ve started adding more and more 2k+ and 4k+ textures to the game, and also some very good, but very “heavy” mods that add a lot of new items, or new critters … eventually the «random crashes” started creeping back into the well modded game.

Now the “space” we set aside for the game must be increased in multiples of the original size up to a maximum of 1280 … (ref: meh321) So we’re now recommending you increase the amount to 1024.

The problem is, most if not all of the other guides still say to use 768, and if you have limited Ram memory installed you might still be better off using 768. However, if you do have decent Ram, and you plan on installing lots of mods, go with 1024 right from the start. You’re working with the most current information in this guide.

A quick note on save files … The game saves the state of many aspects of the game including scripts permanently in the save files. Which is why it’s such a bad idea to remove a scripted mod from a running game. The “space” we’re discussing also affects the way the game structures the save file. You can always increase the amount safely, but decreasing the amount will adversely affect the stability of the save, and may break scripts. It is NOT recommended. If you feel you need to switch back to 768, please start a new game.

How to install skse

EDIT:
There is a self-installing version of SKSE available at Silverlock called

If you are a PC TechnoNoob, I recommend using that instead of the *.7z file.

Download skse_1_xx_xx_installer.exe.
Double-click on it and it should install into the default location.
You can change the installation path if you need to.

EDIT 2
Check the date of my original post.

The version of SKSE has been updated and the version number is now higher. You have to use the most recent version.

But if you use the self-installer, it should install to the correct place.

Also BOSS has been superseded by a new utility.

I have not played Skrim since about February, 2014, so you’d be better of going to the Nexus forums.

The best thing about the PC version of Skyrim (apart from better graphics) is the fact you can use the console and install mods. But many of the best mods (or certainly the larger and more complex mods) require SKSE, the Skyrim Script Extender, so better use can be made of Papyrus.

But many people say it is complex to install. Well, the old read me files for it WERE a little confusing for complete noobs, so here is An Idiots’ Guide.

Put skse_1_06_16.7z on your desktop, right click, «extract here» and it unzips into it’s own folder, skse_1_06_16 (you will need WinZip, WinRAR or similar program).

Then copy
skse_loader.exe
skse_1_9_32.dll
skse_steam_loader.dll

into
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Skyrim

DO NOT put them in the DATA folder where mods go.

Copy the DATA folder in the Unzipped SKSE folder into:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Skyrim

and it will add the scripts you’ll need.
Everyone needs the *.pex files in Data\Scripts\.
The *.psc files in Data\Scripts\Source\ are needed for creating or compiling Papyrus scripts with the CK.

On your desktop, make a shortcut to skse_loader.exe, launch Steam, double click your short cut and you’re off.

For me, with a keyboard and mouse, the PC version is unplayable without SkyUI and Categorized Favorites Menu.

If you prefer to use a controller there is also SkyUI-Away which lets you use MCM and the SkyUI features without the changes to the interface layout, which I think is configurable.

I am not affiliated to any of these mods or their authors, I just use them and the supposed complexity of installing SKSE came up in another thread.

Sometimes people respond to audio better also, just to add to the thread 🙂

So, you use the SKSE shortcut to start Skyrim, instead of launching it in Steam? With Steam open, Skyrim will still be online even if you use the SKSE shortcut?

I’m still confused about what SKSE does. I did look at the read me from the link you provided, but it’s fairly brief with the description. It basically allows you to run more complex mods?

Thanks, OhHerro. So the only reason to use SKSE is to run certain mods such as SkyUI (which everyone praises). And BOSS is just a utility, not really an in-game mod, right?

Great info here. I’ll need to do some thinking about what I want to do. When I installed Skyrim, I really wanted SkyUI, but was afraid SKSE would be too complex to deal with—conflicts with Skyrim updates, etc. What if other mods get updated (those not needing SKSE); can issues occur with SKSE?

Yes, that’s right.

You cannot play Skyrim without Steam running. If you use the SKSE launcher without starting Steam first, Steam will launch and the Vanilla Skyrim splash screen will come up. So I just start Steam in off-line mode first and then use the SKSE launcher to launch the game.

You can still play in On-Line mode, of course, as Steam is required to run Skyrim for the DRM etc, whether on or off-line. I just prefer off-line mode to avoid stealth updates and because I don’t see the point of paying to be on-line for a single-player game.

You do have to launch the game in on-line mode to select off-line mode the first time, though. then you can disconnect from the net and play off-line any time you like. The only other difference is that any new achievements will not update until you play in on-line mode again, but a few minutes is enough for Steam to update your achievements; they are not lost.

SKSE is the SKyrim Script Extender and allows more complex script commands that basic Papyrus does not have. I don’t know the tecchie details, but I think it works by dll injection to launch the game in Steam while enabling the more sophisticated scripting.

What is certain is that many mods will not work properly or fully without it and some will not work at all.
