Regardless, we're avoiding that tedious headache this time around. It was patchwork, but at least it worked. Mods that were once dependant on SkyUI's dedicated menu were being built as spells that conjured up cluttered, hard-to-navigate prompts. The Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE) is a tool used by many Skyrim mods that expands scripting capabilities and adds additional functionality to the game. There was a wilderness period where it didn't look as though SKSE would ever come to Special Edition, leading to numerous prolific modders cobbling together makeshift workarounds with in-game UI and assets. RELATED: Skyrim Keeps Winning Because Nothing Else Can Do What Skyrim Does It was succeeded in 2016 by the Special Edition which broke SKSE and subsequently SkyUI, two of the major building blocks to various fan-favourite mods. Skyrim launched in 2011 to resounding success, immediately building one of the most active and dedicated modding communities across the internet. Extract all files inside the top-level folder in the ZIP to your game folder (where Skyrim.exe is located). Installation (Manual) Download the SKSE Build for your game version from the Files tab. Other stores (EGS, Windows Store, Game Pass) are not supported.

Now you can update Skyrim while keeping SkyUI, letting you use a whole host of other dependant mods. Compatibility: SKSE64 supports the releases of Skyrim on Steam and GOG. To stop mods from breaking in Skyrim Anniversary Edition, Bethesda gave developer extrwi early access, letting them prepare an SKSE update before the new version of the game went out en masse.
