Oh! You’re Almost There!
Oh! Living On A Prayer!
The worst is behind you. Hours and hours of downloading is done. The Finishing Line is in sight... but there is still just that little bit more to go. You are another two or three hours from actually playing the game, if all goes well. Chin up. Keep that upper lip stiff. Take a deep breath. Let's do this thing.
SetESL Script
The ESM/ESP Count is going DOWN! DOWN, DOWN, DOWN!
Despite all the things we've done and all the best intentions of the Mod Authors, we still have a relatively high count of ESM/ESP files. We've driven it down a lot through the use of zMerge, but... WE CAN DO MORE! As it turns out, many of the files we have can be turned into ESPFE files, sometimes called ESL (though, really, that's a different file entirely). ESPFE files are ESP files that are "flagged" in xEDIT to be run as an ESL - all plugins with this flag will be combined at game runtime and loaded in the FE slot of the game's load order (which is why the limit is 254, not 255, BTW).
By running this script (as shown below), all the plugins that meet the criteria to become ESPFE will be automatically flagged, giving us more breathing room in the ESM/ESP counts.
- In MO2, click the Gears button to edit your executable paths.
- Select the SSEEdit entry
- Select the clone selected option.
- Rename the cloned copy to SSEdit - SetESL
- In the Argument field Set -PseudoESL
- Click Apply
- Now run SSEEdit - SetESL
- Load all Plugins.
- Highlight all Plugins.
- Right-click and select Apply Script.
- From the dropdown menu, locate the SetESL script.
- Left Click to Run the Script.
- Let the script Run (this may take a few minutes).
- Once the script has finished, Exit and Save.
LOOT Rules
Rule 1 - Lexy gets all LOOT...
Likely one of the most invaluable tools created for any Bethesda Open World game, but certainly for Skyrim, LOOT (Load Order Optimization Tool) is a utility designed to assist users in maintaining a working load order for their mod list. It uses user-submitted metadata to determine the "best" load order for a given set of modifications... which is great when you only have a few dozen but nowhere close to sufficient when your list has over 1,000 plugins as we do.
To help it out, we have the ability to provide "LOOT Rules", specialized sets of instructions on how to order certain mods and what order to do the sorting in. You might remember when you installed LOOT back in the beginning (oh so many hours of work ago...) that you set up a network of LOOT Groups - this is the moment you did that work.
For each of the plugins listed below, RIGHT-CLICK on the plugin and select "Edit Metadata". In the new window, add the plugin listed to the group they are listed with, then add any Load After rules that might apply as well.
Note that you are only ADDING or CHANGING things. When editing a plugin's LOOT rules, anything already listed under the Load After tab that can’t be deleted is part of the LOOT Masterlist and CANNOT be altered. So don't worry about those.

Load After LOOT Rules
Running LOOT
Take the Money and Run
Take another deep breath - you are now ready to actually sort your load order.
- In the top Left of the LOOT window, there should be an icon that should display "Sort Plugins" if you mouse over it.
- Click this icon to begin the sorting process.
- After the sorting process has finished, it should update the window with the calculated load order and an Apply Sorted Load Order button should appear in the menu at the top of LOOT.
- Press Apply Sorted Load Order and then close out of LOOT to continue.
This process has sorted our mods to be loaded in the order recommended by the LOOT master list, along with our necessary adjustments. This doesn't handle the order that the plugins themselves require. To fix this, we need to do a small adjustment in xEdit.
- Open xEdit through Mod Organizer 2 and click OK.
- Select all Plugins.
- Right-click on any Plugin and select Sort Masters from the menu.
- Once processing has finished, click the X in the upper right-hand corner.
- Uncheck Backup plugins
- Click OK to exit xEdit.
Moonpath to Elsweyr SSE - Music - Weather and Other Fixes - Ini’s for ENB
Now that we have sorted our Load Order, we can sort out the Moonpath to Elsweyr SSE - Music - Weather and Other Fixes - Ini’s for ENB that we downloaded earlier.
-
- In MO2, locate Moonpath Music, Weather and Other Fixes.esp and make a note of the mod index number (Starts with FE, ignore the FE) for example my ModIndex-Number is for FE031 so mine is 031
- If you have not done so already, manually download the Ini's for ENB and extract the content of the Ini's for ENB folder inside the archive to the enbseries folder.
- In the enbseries folder, locate _weatherlist.ini and open with Notepad or Notpad+
- Copy and paste the following:
[WEATHER090] FileName=!_Moonpath_Clear.ini weatherIDs=xxx805 [WEATHER091] FileName=!_Moonpath_Moisture.ini weatherIDs=xxx87b [WEATHER092] FileName=!_Moonpath_Rain.ini weatherIDs=xxx87e
- Replace the xxx with the mod index number for your install.
- Save and exit _weatherlist.ini
Nemesis
It's Not Really The Enemy
Here is a link to .Net Framework v3.5
Skeleton Animation changes, for the longest time, required a program called FNIS. Over the years since both Skyrim's and the mod's release, however, it gradually came to be unsupported. In the meantime, animation changers suddenly became a huge thing in the Skryim modding world again. Fortunately, a new modder gave us the completely-inappropriately-named Nemesis Unlimited Behavior Engine. It's not your arch-enemy (that would be the NPC Merge), and it will let all kinds of neat things happen in Skyrim that couldn't happen before, including new animations, gender-specific animations, poses, walks, weapon grips, weapon placements, and much more.
This involves the use of an external patcher program, but it's very straight-forward and won't take long at all.
Setup Instructions
Because Nemesis will be creating new HKX files (files used by Skyrim for animation and motion): we want these files to be automatically sent to a mod instead of being tossed in the Overwrite folder. We can set this up by:
- In your Mod Organizer 2 file folder, locate and open the Mods folder.
- Create a new folder called "Nemesis Output". Make sure to activate it in the left pane of MO2.
- In Mod Organizer 2, press the Executable button and select Nemesis.
- In the 'Create Files in Mod instead of Overwrite' drop-down menu, select "Nemesis Output"
- Select "Apply".
- Close the window.
Running Nemesis
Run Nemesis Unlimited Behavior Engine by:
- Select Nemesis in the executable selection box, and click [Run].
- The main Nemesis interface should appear.
- If it does not, review the installation section for Nemesis on the Mod Page.
- From the list of mods in the top panel, select the following:
- Archery Gameplay Overhaul
- Extra Drawing Animations
- True Directional Movement - 360 Horse Archery
- True Directional Movement - Procedural Leaning
- True Directional Movement - Headtracking
- Animation Teleportation Bug Fix
- Click the [Update Engine] button.
- Wait until the Engine update complete message appears.
- Click [Launch Nemesis Behavior Engine].
- to Wait until the Behaviour Generation complete message appears, then you can close Nemesis.
- The bar in the middle is NOT a progress bar - that is a graphical representation of how many animations it created vs. how many the game can handle.
- Verify that Mod Organizer 2 has automatically placed the generated files into the Nemesis Output folder in Mod Organizer.
For reference, the Nemesis Output folder should contain the following:
- a meshes folder, containing new hkx behaviour files.
- a Nemesis Engine folder
- a scripts folder, containing 1 compiled scripts for version tracking.
- a FNIS.esp for XP32 Compatibility.
A Quick Test
Did It Work?
You've been waiting for this moment for a long time. Before we do the last bits of Guide installation, we're going to actually load the game. We have chosen several locations that will test the install. To conduct this test, do the following:
- Deactivate the following plugins:
- A Clear Map of Skyrim.esp
- ACMOS - Falskaar.esp
- ACMOS - Wyrmstooth.esp
- Start Skyrim using the SKSE option.
- From the main menu, open the console (` key).
- Type coc and then the appropriate cell IDs from the list below to visit each of the shrines.
- Azura Statue:
ShrineOfAzuraExterior01
- Shrine of Mehrunes Dagon:
Mehrunes01
- Temple of Dibella:
MarkarthTempleofDibella
- Temple of Meridia:
KilkreathRuinsExterior03
- Shrine of Talos:
MarkarthShrineofTalos
- College of Winterhold:
WinterholdCollegeExterior
- Azura Statue:
If Skyrim crashes, something has gone wrong.
- Reactivate the following plugins:
- A Clear Map of Skyrim.esp
- ACMOS - Falskaar.esp
- ACMOS - Wyrmstooth.esp
Main Menu CTD
If you crashed at the main menu on load, three main possibilities exist:
- You have a missing master.
- Check your Load Order in MO2, looking for a red triangle next to any file in the list.
- If these appear, identify the missing master and activate it.
- You have not extracted a BSA archive associated with a Skyrim:LE file that you converted earlier.
- Go through the Mod Pages to identify these mods, and verify that you have extracted the BSA files associated with them, if they exist.
- You have a mismatched version of SKSE and an SKSE required mod.
- Check all mods that have any SKSE plugins and make sure they are for the correct version of SKSE and Skyrim.
Auto-Generated SKSE Files
After completing the Quick test and exiting the game, you may notice that an SKSE folder with a load of the files was auto-generated and placed into the Overwrite folder. We suggest creating a new mod out of these files by:
- Right-click Overwrite in left pane of MO2 and selecting Create mod
- In the new pop-up window, insert SKSE Output
- Click OK
- Activate SKSE Output in Left Pane.
Once that is done, perform the following Tweaks:
OpenAnimationReplacer.ini
[UI] uToggleUIKey = 210 (this will change the hotkey to open the menu to Insert) uToggleUIKeyShift = 0
Wrye Bash
Wrye Not?
Wrye Bash is a old tool - it's been around since at least Oblivion - that can be used to install and manage mods. That, obviously, isn't how we are using it. It can also be used to merge leveled lists and other various objects without all the tedious mucking around in xEdit records and can even (if we needed it to) merge entire mods together.
Setup Instructions
Before we start, we need to setup MO2 so it will save the Bash Patch to a mod and not in Overwrite.
We do this by:
- In Mod Organizer 2, press the Executables button to edit your executables.
- In the Wrye Bash executable, add the following to the Argument line:
-o "Drive Letter:\steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition"
- In your Mod Organizer 2 install folder, locate and open the Mods folder.
- Create a new folder called "Bash Patch" Make sure to activate it in the left pane of MO2.
- In Mod Organizer 2, press the Executables button and select Wrye Bash.
- In the 'Create Files in Mod instead of Overwrite' drop-down menu, select "Bash Patch."
- Select "Apply" and Close the window.
Building The Bash Patch
Now we can run Wrye Bash by:
- Select Wrye Bash in the Executables drop-down menu, then select [Run]
- Locate Bashed Patch, 0.esp
- Right-click on this mod and select "Rebuild Patch". NOTE: This will always appear this way, even if it is your first time building the patch.
- A popup box might appear telling you to deactivate plugins prior to building the Bash Patch; just click Skip.
- In the options list that appears, ensure that ONLY the following have checkmarks:
- Import Actors
- Import Actors: AI Packages
- Import Actors: Factions
- Import Actors: Perks
- Import Actors: Spells
- Import Cells
- Import Graphics
- Import Inventory
- Import Keywords
- Import Names
- Import Object Bounds
- Import Races
- Import Races: Spells
- Import Sounds
- Import Stats
- Import Text
- Tweak Settings
- Levelled Lists - Make sure Remove Empty Sublists is Unchecked.
- Click on "Tweak Settings" in the left pane. The following settings are recommended but can be set otherwise if you so choose. Right-Click on each setting listed to set the value indicated - if the value does not appear, enter it manually via the "Custom" setting:
- AI: Max Active Actors => 40
- Actor: Training Limit => 15
- Arrow: Speed => 1.4
- Combat: Max Actors => 30
- Crime: Alarm Distance => 1200
- World: Timescale => 15
- Ensure that there are checkmarks next to the following settings:
- AI: Max Active Actors.
- Actor: Training Limit.
- Arrow: Speed.
- Combat: Disable Projectile Dodging.
- Combat: Max Actors.
- Crime: Alarm Distance.
- Msg: Cannot equip item fix.
- World: Timescale.
- At the bottom of the interface, click [Build Patch]. This process generally takes about 10 minutes to run.
- Exit Wrye Bash by clicking the X in the upper right of the screen.
Bashed Patch, 0.ESP should have been automatically added to the Bash Patch Mod. If it does not appear there, Refresh MO2 and/or check in your MO2 Overwrite folder.
The Bashed Patch - as good as it can be - doesn't always get everything quite the way we want it. Rather than make you do the fixes in xEdit, we've created a Bash Patch Override that will fix the issues.

Synthesis
Creating Patches Is Easy!
Setup Instructions
Before we start, we need to setup MO2 so it will save the Synthesis to output a mod and not to the Overwrite folder.
We do this by:
- In your Mod Organizer 2 install folder, locate and open the Mods folder.
- Create a new folder called
"Synthesis Output"
make sure to activate it in the left pane of MO2. - In Mod Organizer 2, press the Executables button and select Synthesis, In the 'Create Files in Mod instead of Overwrite' drop down menu, select "Synthesis Output"
- Select "Apply"and Close the window.
Generating Synthesis Output
Now is the time to generate the Synthesis Patches.
- Make sure you have set up Synthesis as detailed on the Prerequisites page.
- Select Synthesis from the executable dropdown and hit Run.
- Once Synthesis has finished loading the preloaded patchers under the Synthesis group section, click the Run Group Pipeline Button.
- Once Synthesis has finished running, exit the program.
- Active Synthesis.esp in the Right Pane of MO2.
- We now need to Run Synthesis again.
- Once Synthesis has finished loading the preloaded patchers under the Owl Synthesis Output group section, click the Run Group Pipeline Button.
- Once Synthesis has finished running, exit the program.
- Active OWL Synthesis Output.esp in the Right Pane of MO2.
Dark Face Issue Reporter
One Last Time - This Time With Feeling
Run Dark Face Issue Reporter
All the merges are made. The Bash Patch is created. Everything that can possibly mess with our poor NPC's faces has been done...
Which means it's time to run Dark Face Issue Reporter one last time.
- Open xEdit and load all plugins.
- In the left pane, highlight only:
- The Game's base ESMs (7 files)
- Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch.esp
- 3DNPC.esp
- LegacyoftheDragonborn.esm
- Right-click any of those plugins, and choose "Apply script".
- From the drop-down menu, select DarkFaceIssueReporter and choose OK.
- Select Option 2: Run only for selected files or records
- Once the script has finished running, scroll to the bottom of the left pane and expand DarkFaceCollector.esp.
- If no DarkFaceCollector.esp appears, the ini wasn't edited or saved properly
- Expand the Non-Player Character (NPC) row if there is one.
- Any NPC listed has Dark Face, and you will need to troubleshoot what went wrong.
- Always delete DarkFaceCollector.esp if you saved it, before running Dark Face Issue Reporter again.
- Additional help can be gotten on Discord in the #installation-help channel.
- If the Dark Face Issue Report returns clean (only the File Header is listed), you can delete darkfacecollector.esp and proceed with the guide.
Fixing NPCs with Dark Face Bug
- Is NPC Retexture Merge Consistency Patch active in your left pane?
- If not, activate it.
- Are all NPCs shown from Interesting NPCs?
- If so, you forgot to merge the hotfix with the main file and so the main file is not active on your merge profile.
- Manually activate the main Interesting NPCs file.
- Check that the mods from page 4 of the guide are all in the correct order in your left pane on both your main and merge profiles.
- If you still have NPCs in your darkfacecollector.esp, take a screenshot (just the top of the list is fine if it's very long) and post it in the #installation-help channel of the Discord for support.

DynDOLOD - Dynamic Distant LOD Generation
Giving our firstborn to Sheson
Running DynDOLOD is really a two part process. The first - TexGen - creates texture atlases based on the games installed textures. These atlases are required for the second step, DynDOLOD itself, which uses them so that when distant LODs transition to closer ones, the texture sets match up in a better way. That, by itself, would make this worth running, but it does more! It also is responsible for allowing you to see running water, waterfalls, windmills turning, and other dynamic motions from a long distance - something that Vanilla Skyrim doesn't do.

Congratulations!
It took a long while, but the game is - seriously, no joke - ready for you to jump in and play. All you have to do is make sure Serio’s Cycle Hotkeys - Quickset Update is still disabled in the left pane. press play, create your character, make your MCM Changes (we have some recommendations on the next page), and finalize the Ljoss ENB Install (the big black circle in the top-right corner of your screen when you start up the game).
You've worked long and hard for this... enjoy the fruit of your labors. And, if something still seems off... come talk to us. We're waiting for you.
