- 64 Credits:
There are a few 'best practices' to keep in mind while building this guide:
- DO NOT run LOOT until directed to do so at the finishing line. It has a cap of 254 files (regardless of ESP or ESL type), and so will not be useful to you until that point, as you will quickly have more files than this limit. It will also help prevent any other confusions that may arise over LOOT sorting errors that will be fixed with LOOT rules at the end of the guide anyhow. Any LOOT rules you see appended to the mods will be repeated on the Finishing Line page, and are on this page only for reference.
- "Main Files" are installed as normal. If the mod page has more than one Main File to install, each should be installed AS A SEPARATE MOD in Mod Organizer 2.
- "Updates" or "Hotfixs" can and should be installed with its parent files in a single mod. (e.g Merge the files in Mod Organizer 2, allowing the Update or Hotfix to overwrite the original files.)
- "Optional Files", "Miscellaneous Files", and "Patches" should be installed as A SEPARATE MOD in Mod Organizer 2.
- Special Instructions will be shown for some mods. These instructions should be followed carefully, as they often deal with replacement ESP files, file deletions, or other similar items that are needed to make the mod work with the guide correctly. Any instructions that direct you to remove a file or files from a mod that use a * at the end of the file names (\helgen reborn.esp\*.tga as an example) means that ALL FILES in the folder with that extension or format should be deleted or not installed.
Extracting BSA Files
While there are a fair number of available mods that make use of BSA files, the guide recommends extracting them only if:
- There is a dummy plugin associated with the BSA (IE, a blank ESP/ESL/ESM file whose entire purpose is to load the BSA)
-OR-
- The files in the BSA will be part of one of the merges we will be creating late in the guide.
Extraction of files from a BSA will be done using Mod Organizer 2's built-in BSA Extractor plugin. To make this easier, a few settings in MO2 need to be set. Note that these instructions assume that you are using the default MO2 theme - if you have customized this, the icons described may differ.
1. Click the spanner and screwdriver icon in the top-left corner of Mod Organizer (Wrench and Screwdriver for you Americans). 2. Click the 'Plugins' tab. 3. Locate BSA Extractor in the left pane. 4. In the right pane, double click Enabled and set to True. 5. Close the window.During mod installations, any mod that uses a BSA will cause a prompt to appear on the screen, asking if you wish to extract the BSA. Only click "Yes" if the
Converting Old Plugins
In a general sense, there are few differences between the ESP/ESM files of Skyrim:LE and those of Skyrim:SE, but the way those records are stored differ slightly. This can cause issues in SE when using an LE plugin, and so they require conversion from the old Form 43 of LE to the newer Form 44 of SE. To work properly in this guide, these plugins must be converted using Bethesda's Creation Kit (The CK).
Note that some of the plugins requiring this conversion are Skyrim SE mods - the author has not properly converted the plugins on their own, and so this process will still need to be completed.
There is one additional (potential) complication: in some cases, mods that require conversion have Masters that are in the ESP format. The CK requires that all masters be either A) ESM files, or B) be ESP files that are flagged as ESMs. This can be done through a process called 'esmifiying' though Wrye Bash. There are, therefore, two possible scenarios for conversion:
- Scenario A, in which a plugin has no masters that require 'esmifiying'.
- Scenario B, in which a plugin does have masters needing 'esmifiying'.
If you have an older version of the Creation Kit installed and also have the Creation Kit Fixes mod installed, you can simply follow the instructions for Scenario A, as it removes the CK requirement for ESM/Flagged ESM Masters.
SCENARIO A - STEP 1
1 Verify that the Overwrite folder (located at the extreme bottom of your left pane load order in MO2) is empty. 2 Run the Creation Kit from the MO2 Executable Drop-Down menu. 3 Select the File menu and then select Data.... 4 Locate the plugin to be converted, and select Set As Active File. The plugin can be located quickly by typing the first letter of the filename of the ESP until it appears in the window. 5 Note that there will be a list of Parent Masters. Ensure these are checked to be loaded (double-click the plugin listing to check it). 6 Click |OK and allow the Creation Kit to load all the files. When the loading is complete, there may be a list of various errors. These are safe to ignore, and are expected. 7 Once the load is completed, immediately save the plugin (disk icon on the toolbar or via File -> Save.) 8 Close the Creation Kit. Note It is not uncommon for the CK to hang when closing on many systems. You can safely click the close button multiple times until it is unresponsive, and then allow Windows to force close the application. Either way, the newly saved plugin will automatically overwrite the original, non-coverted, version.
SCENARIO B - STEP 1
1 Run Wrye Bash from the MO2 Executable Drop-Down menu. 2 Locate and right-click on the ESP that you need to 'esmify'. This will be the plugin that is a Master to the one you need to convert. 3 From the right-click menu, select Esmify Self. 4 Exit Wrye Bash. 5 Close and then reopen Mod Organizer 2 to refresh all of the plugin data. 6 Follow all the instructions of SCENARIO A above. 7 Run Wrye Bash from the MO2 Executable Drop-Down menu. 8 Locate and right-click on the ESP that you 'esmified' in step 3. 9 From the right-click menu, select Espify Self. 10 Exit Wrye Bash. 11 Close and then reopen Mod Organizer 2 to refresh all of the plugin data.
VERIFYING THE PLUGIN WITH xEDIT
Once the conversion is complete, it should be checked in xEdit to verify that it was properly converted. This is done by:
1 Run SSEEdit from the MO2 Executable Drop-Down menu. 2 When the plug-in list appears, right-click in the plugin pane and select Select None. 3 Double-click on the new plugin you converted. 4 Allow xEdit to load. The load will be complete and you can continue when you see the message "Background Loader: finished". 5 Go to the bottom of the left pane and right-click on the last plugin listed (this should be the file you converted earlier). 6 From the right-click menu, select Check for Errors. 7 The check should return the message "All Done!". If there are any reported errors, the user will need to take additional steps to correct these errors before proceeding in the guide. Help for this can be found on the either the Discord server or the STEP Support forum. 8 Right-click on the file again, and this time select Sort Masters. 9 Close SSEEdit, saving the plugin. Note An additional step to be taken, should you wish to, is to clean the plugin in SSEEdit using the same procedure we used to clean the DLC files. As a reminder, this procedure is found on the Prerequisites Page.
Cathedral Assets Optimizer
Some of the mods installed in this guide use meshes and textures designed for Skyrim:LE. The meshes, in particular, use an older format that must be changed to be useable by Skyrim:SE. This guide uses the Cathedral Assets Optimizer to fix these meshes, as well as optimize some textures for use with Skyrim:SE. In all but two cases (which will be noted as they occur), the following instructions will perform this conversion:
1 If Mod Organizer 2 is open, close it. CAO is designed to run outside of Mod Organizer 2. 2 Launch Cathedral Assets Optimizer from its installed location. 3 At the top of the interface, click on Open Directory and navigate to the folder containing the mod requiring conversion/optimization. 4 Select the following options: * BSA - Leave this unchecked unless specifically directed otherwise in the mod installation instructions. * Textures - Select Full Optimization. * Meshes - Select Necessary Optimization. * Select Run.
A screenshot of the settings described above can be found here.
Lexy's Legacy of the Dragonborn: Special Edition Mod List
One final note before beginning the download and installing of mods - pay special attention to the version numbers listed for the mod. While in most cases, an older version number indicates that the mod has updated since the last time the guide has been, in a lot of other cases this is a deliberate choice. When in doubt, check with the Discord server, who will be able to answer any questions. The file names provided under Files to Download are the way they are listed on the Nexus Page - that should make it clear exactly which download of the file is required.
It is also highly encouraged, since you will be on the mod page anyhow, to read and understand what the mod will be doing. No explanations of mods or their effects will be given in this guide.
