19:47 actually installing SKSE instructions ( I know that all other information he says between 11:04 and 20 minute is very important, just thought i could save some time for lazy users who don't wanna learn)))
If any of y'all still there could someone verify me something? Gopher didn't copy paste the src folder from skse and since he's using only the data folder with MO,it means that that src folder is not inside the game Will the game work correctly without the src or am I missing something?
Thank you very much for your very detailed mod tutorials. What I enjoy most is how thorough you are at not just teaching how to install specific mods, but teaching the fundamentals of these tools and the installation processes. I've gained a serious understanding of the workings of the Skyrim Mod scene in just a week of watching your various tutorials. I spend roughly 50% of my time playing around and organizing my mods, and the other 50% actually playing the game, haha. Thanks again! Keep up the great work.
Very in depth and informative as always, thank you. I learn something new each time you come out with a video for Mod Organizer. I did get a chuckle since we both chose "Winter is Coming" to demonstrate FOMODs
I hope you still read some of your comments. I can not say enough...THANK YOU.... for your help and how you explain things. You don't rush things and for someone like me that is a wee bit slow with the computer stuff it's very much appreciated!! I did have to watch it over and over again but I seen many of your videos before and i know you were the man to help :) thanks again... i cant say... type that enough and i hope you get this. Have a wonderful day/night, when ever you get this :)
I would like to thank you for making extensive videos that actually explain and show how to do all of this. Because before I installed everything no one had any tutorials and I had to fiddle with things myself until everything was fine
Gopher just wanted to thank you for all your hard work and videos that actually go more in depth on how it works vs how to install. I am slowly learning more about modding and would really like to make some of my own eventually. your videos have started to help me understand some of the basics and how some of it works. would love to see some videos if you haven't already made(haven't done my proper searches yet) on the ABC's of mod making, for my future ventures.
Excellent guides, I wanted to Re-Mod Skyrim with Mod Organizer for a while, And with these guides i will be confident in getting my game up and running smoothly and safely. Thanks.(Waiting eagerly for these to be complete.)
Gopher I have learned more about mod organizer from you in these few videos than I learned from my teacher about gimp in a whole year. Thank you so much Gopher
dude i have been looking all over on how to install scripted fomod, i didnt download from nexus, i download a zip archive and extracted it only to find an already extracted folder fomod folder, and i looked everywhere on how to install manually and found nothing i was looking for, but the first 2 minutes of your video and i realized dont unpack the downloaded archive, opened it in mod organizer and holy shit everything installed, got the scripted installer with options and everything, so i thank you very much, i greatly appreciate it and you have earned a long time subscriber out of me
I think they fixed that error thing with SkyUI in the latest version. I didn't get the error after I activated the SKSE scripts and it works fine in game
I'd like to share a small endorsement for Gopher. His tutorials are so good, so clear, I followed along the old NMM version of his installation tutorial for SKSE for Mod Organiser (many weeks before he started this new series). That is evidence of a thorough explanation. The ability to take the example and extend it. I've been merrily using SKSE-using mods, and Gopher excellent suggestion of an SKSE plugins 'mod' ever since!
maksphoto78 The SKSE team had a discussion about this once and I believe 'scuzzy' was the first choice and 'sexy' was politely rejected :) But in general it would seem pronouncing the letters is the norm, apart from FOSE which is usually FoeZee or FoeZay. F4SE was discussed and Four'Zee seemed popular although I thing FAZE is better :)
Thanks a ton for this video. I was impatient at first about trying to find the solution after messing up my SKSE recently, but in the end I was glad that you were careful and deliberate in your explanation; it showed me a much better way to make it work with MO.
I commented on an earlier video a couple of days ago. I'm continuing my new install with MO vs NMM. More to learn but so much more versatile and clean when understood. Well, with your excellent tutorials I mean. ;-) Thanks Gopher.
There was something perhaps too satisfying about this part for me, been waiting for skse for about 2hrs of video now. I do really like the way you do these videos though. +1 for very well made guides
thank you verry much for this series, i recently changed to mod orgnizer and had a lot of issues getting everything working again. this is helping me out a ton.
Gopher I am loving the series so far i went ahead and figured i would try and install mod organizer before you started the series when you said you would make it and i got it working but this series is saving from a little mistakes So thanks again! :)
Going deeper in modding and using better tools, IE Mod Organizer 2. No shade on NMM/Vortex but it is not great for big mod loads in my opinion. Anyways, this series has been really helpful to get acquainted. There is a ton of good info despite it being 6 years old. Great job. So many mod instructions have not aged as well.
This video is extremely helpful! I wanted to mention that the second SkyUI window did not pop up for me either, but I think it is because I am using a newer version of SkyUI and a newer version of Mod Organizer.
Love this series, even though you spend to much time at times going over very basic things like we are idiots. Mostly its when you made your point as best as it can be made but yet you go on and on showing the steps no matter how redundant. But still love what you have done here. I just lose my patience sometimes while you reinstall or activate each and every piece when a simple "you would do this for all" comment would suffice. But i nitpick. Great work. Oh and why do you emphasize the word "Merge" so much? You sound like Stewie Griffin if he were to say merge. I laugh every time. Its like you found a special jewel every time you come across that word. Anyhoo keep up the great work. I subbed even.
Watching this again in 2018 :p Gopher is a modding god! Update for anyone watching (25/01/2018): I just installed SkyUI 5.1 the first way and didn't get the second window but it still installed correctly (as far as I can tell :p ).
Your accent so crystal clear, that even the shitty TH-cam's automatically generated subtitles software makes NO mistakes. I want to speak English like you! xD
Thanks for your great MO guide! The most important questions for me though are how all the tools work with it: Bashed Patch, FNIS, Skyproc Patcher, LOOT, T5E Are you planning on covering those? Another suggestion while you are about to explain tools for Skyrim: What about a T5E tutorial? Your video on load order broached the subject but maybe a more in depth video on how it works would be good so people can stop worrying and love conflict detection/resolution :) Regards, Spock
Hi Gopher, hi everyone! I started watching your tutorials and as you, I love having everything neat and clean installed. So, because of my need of perfection, I wanted everything to work flawlessly but when I created a shortcut from my Mod Organizer to the desktop and double clicked the shortcut, I got this message : " Mod Organizer has crashed. Should a diagnostic file be created? blah blah...". One note - my shortcut was working until I installed SKSE and SkyUI the way you did(Manually I mean). P.S. I tried running the game through the MO with SKSE chosen and it's working. Also, I did NOT get that second box when I tried to install the SkyUI. I just removed the mod and did that thing with removing fomod from the zip. Regards, Matko!
Been holding out going to MO. I only use NMM for mod installations in Skyrim. I also Use Wrye Bash. I have used Wrye since Morrowind/Oblivion days and loved it well. For Oblivion Wrye would merge mods so easily... You could run so many more mods than the limit that way. I still use it to this day for Oblivion. Bain installation was so nice and MO reminds me of Bain so much. You really get a good break down of what your mods are doing. What conflicts there are, Etc. But with MO you are really getting somethin very different. Nothing in the game Data folder. I like that Idea but I can see that could also be issue prone for some mods. Yet I do like The idea of this. I am watching the whole series for this tehn going to decide. So far I like the idea. We will see. These are great vids and Gopher is a great teacher.
Damn Gopher you know ALOT! How did you acquire such knowledge on all this!? Your power level is over NIIIIINE THOUSAAAAAAAAND! Thanks though by the way. Your tutorial on this is well organized and presented.
Experimenting most likely AND reading MOST info on read me's and the websites. Its how I do it. Except this time it didn't tell me anything about installing SkyUi with Mod Organizer so I came to this vid.
I've been using Mod Organizer almost as long as I've played Skyrim (couldn't stand NMM). You'd assume that I'd know everything already, but I learned plenty from watching this series. Download Meta Information? Automatic Archive Invalidation? Heck, I didn't even know about the shortcut feature...
For people using the memory patch within skse. Where should I create my skse.ini folder to activate the patch since my data folder will not have said files within it.
From the STEP project page on SKSE: 1. Right-click the SKSE mod in Mod Organizer and select Open in explorer. 2. Open the SKSE folder or create one if one does not exist. 3. In the SKSE folder, create skse.ini and paste inside it the following: [General] ClearInvalidRegistrations=1 [Memory] DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=768 ScrapHeapSizeMB=256 This seemed to work for me!
Kastellen Will that work if I want to use mods that should be copied inside the SKSE folder that should be in the Data Folder? I intalled SKSE the way Gopher suggested, but now I'm not sure how to install other mods that should be in the Skyrim (rather than in the Data) folder. The mod in question is the Community Uncapper.
Flávio Alves I don't remember doing anything special when I installed the Uncapper. When I double-click on the Uncapper mod in Mod Organizer, it shows the INI file as being in SKSE/Plugins, and I can edit it within the the INI Files tab. Alternatively, if I right-click on the mod in Mod Organizer and choose "open in Explorer", I find an "SKSE" folder, within that a "plugins" folder, and within THAT the DLL file and the INI file, and I can edit the file there if I prefer. All seems to work okay for me without much trouble.
Hey, Gopher! First off, thanks so much for all the work you've done; I speak for plenty when I say, "You're the best." :) Sadly, I'm bumping into a bit of an issue with MO and the installation of SKSE and SkyUI. I've completed a re format this week, so I know with certainty that the only mod I have is SkyUI and SKSE is active; I've checked the version number in game. Still, somehow I'm noticing that all of my saves under MO are flagged as "Missing ESP". It's may be worth noting that the saves in question (the only ones I have) are only the first 5-10 minutes into the brand new game. While this hasn't directly caused an issue, I'm concerned it will in the future. Any ideas why this might be? I'm nervous to go on ahead installing any other mods until I can solve what the heck is going on already -_- Thanks again, many times over!
For SkyUI An alternative way I found is by going into your settings tab then plugins, Scroll down to Fomod Installer:not Fomod installer (external): Set the values for enabled for true and prefer to false. It should allow most mods to detect your other mods...
26:35 That's what happened to me. I never saw the text window with the install option. I just let the small window that had the force close option sit for a little bit. After a short moment it disappeared and SkyUI was installed! Voila! No Problem!
so...not sure what you do for a living, but you should seriously give reading books at a publishing house for audio books some consideration. Your voice is perfect for it dude.
Hey Gopher, thanks again for this video and your others concerning MO. I have been messing around with MO recently and really enjoy it and while I believe I have installed Skyrim Redone correctly I was wondering when you would be releasing a video on that mod and others like it. I know the FOMOD is similar but I wanted to know if there was anything different since there was a lot of options for NMM. Thanks again and keep up the great work! I use your videos right now as double checks for my own use of mods!
Thank you for this! I always wondered why I see videos on youtube of people with a mod in Mod Organizer named "SKSE Scripts". I mean I knew what its for, but I never knew how do install SKSE in Mod Organizer. But since I already had my SKSE Scripts installed in the Skyrim data directory, I just made the RAR from the scripts folder and deleted the folder from the skyrim data folder, then installed the SKSE Scripts with Mod Organizer. I think they recommend this way to everyone, they should have these instructions on the main SKSE Download page. They should package the the Scripts folder separately so you can easily install it in Mod Organizer after you install the Main files in the main Skyrim Directory. Thank you for this!! EDIT: Also, where do I put SKSE Scripts in the Load Order in Mod Organizer? Right now I have it right after the Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch.
What I would really like to know is how to install FOMOD based mods for FNV that require the ability to see the other mods visible to get the choices correct. Like Unified Hud Project (a Gopher mod). I haven't been able to find a 'Manual install' button on the FNV fomod plugin. The best advice I've been given is how to install FOMM inside of MO, and install certain mods with FOMM. NOT ideal. I run 220ish mods in Skyrim in MO just fine. Gave up on FNV with MO, went back to NMM. Any advice on how to really do it inside of MO would be greatly appreciated :)
Gopher Thanks, boss :) I've been missing the power of MO when trying to mod FNV. I think that your idea of manually re-building the mod may be a start. I'll have to look at the contents of uHud and oHud, see what I can do with 'em :)
i am actually the same as you FrostRyder waiting for more vids to be able to mod FNV with MO(and i think it ll be the same way for Fallout3) but in the main while, remoding my skyrim along with Gopher vids
Mohamed Nassero Dean Henchiri I had already switched my Skyrim over a while ago, with the assistance of the videos from the STEP project, made by GamerPoets :)
Gopher I notice you leave .bsa files packed. I there a reason for that? I have read unpacking bsa's is less strain on the game. Thanks for another Skyrim video, keep it up!
Tyler Cone The general view on that is that if your CPU is very weak but your disk is fast you may be better unpacking the BSAs. Otherwise it is not worth it, and may even make it worse (although by an amount so small as to be hard to notice). It really depends what bottles necks your game performance.
Gopher Thank You for the reply. One other Question I have is, I just did a fresh Win7 install and have Skyrim on its own SSD. Would it be best to install MO on that same drive as the game or put it on a 3rd bigger drive for growth and room for Mods. Would this impact my heavy modded game? I also keep my download folder on a 4th drive atm. Again, Thank You for your time! ~ Canlocu
Quick question about SKSE + MO: a while ago, Gopher, you showed how to add the memory allocation script lines into an SKSE.ini file, which you'd created in the Skyrim data folder when using using Nexus Mod Manager. Seeing as SKSE is installed a little differently with MO, is there any change in how to implement the above fix?
KnowHope Here is a tutorial on how to install/create the SKSE.ini for MO: th-cam.com/video/AT8fdyzTmiE/w-d-xo.html ***** Well... if you use SKSE then you already have the means to implement the memory path. SSME is for those who do not use SKSE, but who doesn't use it these days? Using both SSME and SKSE's memory fixes together can also create problems, so It's either one or the other.
Hey Gopher, quick question about MO. Is there a different way to install ENBs -and/or Sheson's memory patch- with MO that differs from NMM? P.S. Thank you so much for all of your informative and awsome tutorial videos. They have been a REALLY big help for me getting my game modded to where I want it! -EDIT- I was able to get Sheson's memory patch working by following the tutorial videos on the S.T.E.P. website, however I am still having some difficulty with the ENBs.
Gopher I've been following your instructions for modding for quite some time now. I remember waiting for the next episode of NMM videos. I had 112 mods installed using NMM but started getting really bad memory leaks causing ILS virtually every time I entered/exited a new area. Upon doing more research, learning about the new SKSE using 512mb allocations and such, I came across this series of videos regarding Mod Organizer. I want it. However, I followed your instructions step by step up to this point. I did the SKSE 1.7.1 file management from an absolute clean wiped Skyrim. I.E. All my mods were removed and any subsequent, lingering Skyrim and mod files were removed as well. Then I followed what you did with SkyUI. The manual installation. I even got that little message regarding not having SKSE even though I clearly do. Just as you did, I clicked Install anyhow. Set the proper load order, and I get that error message in game about papyrus. How can this be? I have not altered my .ini files in any way. I would really appreciate a better understanding of how this could happen.
I believe I have fixed the issue. When launching SKSE from Mod Organizer, there's a prompt that mentions running SKSE_Loader.exe with elevation. I simply went to the file and removed "RUN AS ADMIN". The game loads now, with SKSE working, as well as SKYUI. No conflicts whatsoever!
Regarding SKSE, I am about 150 or mods into modding my game with SKSE being the first mod I installed. Is it too late to resinstall SKSE in the manner described by Gopher? And if so should I delete the scripts folder the SKSE installer created? It does not have any additional scripts added to it other than the original 60 that came with SKSE. And love your videos by the way, they are lifesavers!
Gopher, over the years that I'm learning the mods, you're my most favorite teacher and I've always been listening to you and always being adviced from your videos. You explain things just so perfectly. I just have no words. Great job and thank you for your lessons :) My Data folder in MO has a lot of red lines indicating that the files are also installed by other mod and I only have unofficial patches and DLCs. The red letters showing just conflicts but the red letters are... you know, scary. Do they simply mean that they win/lose conflicts? or is it an error I should be aware of? I don't remember you showing this in depth, that's why I'm asking. Please help me :(
You didn't tell us, but i guess you reinstalled your skyrim from scratch to have all the skyrim folder clean, am i right? If that was the case, then you also had to deactivate all mods from NMM, am i right? But then, let's just say that i want to use NMM again, is there a way to keep my current setup with NMM or do i need to install everything again? I already downloaded MO and saw that i have Non-MO mods, which i know are form NMM, but i don't want that, because i can't create a empty profile. Is there a way around it? Thanks for the guides Gopher.
what i did was rename my old steam skyrim folder to something like "old skyrim mods" and then reinstall skyrim to get a fresh install. then you can easily go back to your old folder to play your old setup.
***** I believe what Gopher actually did was back up his data folder and "verify integrity of game cache" through steam. But however you installed it, it shouldn't be too hard to back up your old game folder and reinstall.
Hey Gopher, I wanted to thank you for you very informative guides its amazing how you describe every tiny bit of what that does and how to fix it etc. And I wanted to ask you. There is the triangle in the top right corner of the MO right under the minimalize option and in my MO it says that initializing Python failed and I don't have any idea what that Python does. Is it important anyhow?
Gopher, first i must thank you for all the Skyrim tutorial videos you have made; they are invaluable for the grannies generation to which i belong. But i do have a problem with Mod Organizer's handling of SKSE and SkyUI. I followed your installion instructions step by step. And this is the result: >SKSE is installed and working (getSKSEversion confirms that). >Yet, when the game launches, i get a message that says SkyUI is not working properly -- Error Code 1. >When in-game i look at my inventory, the menu is the SkyUI menu, not vanilla. However, when i click on mod configurations, SkyUi is not there, so i connot configure this mod. I am trying to switch from NMM to Mod Organizer, using a clean install of Skyrim. The only mods i have added using Mod Organzer are the unofficial patches for Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn, and the unofficial 2K textures patch. Any advice would be welcome -- perhaps the uninformed like me should revert to NMM? And thank you again for your your work.
Hi Gopher. I have a problem with your uHUD mod in Fallout New Vegas The Mod doesn't detect the other mods and when i wanna activate it by hand it gives back a error. Sry for my bad english.
Hi Gopher, I love your videos! Question though (and I'm sorry I know you're not the tech support for the mods). I keep getting an error: Invalid Index at random points and really can't figure out what is causing it. Google wasn't much help unfortunately. Thank for any help and all your amazing videos! Id have never started modding without your help.
Hi Gopher I was driven to Mod Organizer because of the profile feature. Absolutely no regrets. A question though - will you cover installation of ENBs with MO? (I use Realvision ENB)? Thanks for your dedication :)
Gopher hi how do you uninstall the skse? Do i have to delete several files or is their one file where i have the option to uninstall it all from? P.S. love you videos and i have been using them very much for Skyrim and Fallout mods
So i have been using skse (installed by the installer,) do i have to go and manually remove all of it ? :s or is there an alternative, there are lots of red files in the data file ;x
Perhaps this was commented earlier, but I just installed SkyUI, and no secondary window popped up at all. Never the less, the mod installed completely and correctly. It would seem that portion of the video has been resolved by the authors?
if you could help me please ive got an error saying failed to spawn "stylesheets" :failed to start process (access is denied. [5]) it comes up when i try to run skse through mod organizer
Hi Gopher. I really need help. So I'm one of the unfortunate people who's SkyUI doesnt pop up with the other little window. So I was going through your guide on how to install it when the little window doesnt pop up. And when I got to the part where I had to delete the fomod folder, it wouldnt give me the option to delete it. Please help.
Gopher i your modding videos have helped me a lot before and really enjoy them. this series is really nice but is there a way to transfer my NMM mods MO or will i have to reinstall all my mods again and if there is a way will you have a video on it. anyways thank you so much for helping me mod my game i dont think without you i would have ever learned about some mods and your tutorials are very helpful. thanks Space
The Space Coder Well you can transfer the mods to the MO downloads section, but then you need to 'install' them as normal. I show the full scale of this in part 6.
Is there a way to only show specific mods on certain profiles only? I have quite a few profiles to test out all the gameplay overhauls and it irks me to have a whole lot of unused mods cluttering my profiles.
Gopher, does Mod Organizer works the same way with Fallout 3 and Oblivion? Does those games get more stable with a high amount of mods using Mod Organizer?
When i try to double click to install skyui it says 'unable to obtain public key from StrongNameKeyPair' Then says 'installation failed error code 5' I don't know how to fix this please help.
19:47 actually installing SKSE instructions ( I know that all other information he says between 11:04 and 20 minute is very important, just thought i could save some time for lazy users who don't wanna learn)))

+1 to this guy gents.
+Tram Ramt In the description...

no it's not) 11:04 is in the description . actual process of installing begins at 19:47 which is NOT in the description)
If any of y'all still there
could someone verify me something?
Gopher didn't copy paste the src folder from skse
and since he's using only the data folder with MO,it means that that src folder is not inside the game
Will the game work correctly without the src or am I missing something?
@@theblackvenom1840 I would like an answer to this as well
Watched this tutorial ages ago, but still come back to it when I need to reinstall SKSE.
Great tutorial, thanks for this :)
19:45 recommended SKSE installation method
nice
Thank you so much, Gopher can be a turtle sometimes.
Thank you very much for your very detailed mod tutorials.

I can't believe how easy it was to install SkyUI... waited a couple days just for that :P. Thanks once again Gopher!
I think they fixed that error thing with SkyUI in the latest version. I didn't get the error after I activated the SKSE scripts and it works fine in game
You're right. I had that happen for me, too.
Same, just loaded this video to install SkyUI today, only for there not to be any issues.
Boy does the time fly by when I'm watching these.
Love this guy. Sherlock Holmes, Moriarty, Professor Gopher
I wish you were my father
these videos are so streamlined I always almost forget to like them. so good.
You might not have known at the time that you will helping a fkton of people for YEARS TO COME. Thank you sir.
I'd like to share a small endorsement for Gopher.
His tutorials are so good, so clear, I followed along the old NMM version of his installation tutorial for SKSE for Mod Organiser (many weeks before he started this new series). That is evidence of a thorough explanation. The ability to take the example and extend it. I've been merrily using SKSE-using mods, and Gopher excellent suggestion of an SKSE plugins 'mod' ever since!
I pronounce SKSE as "sexy" :o)
maksphoto78 The SKSE team had a discussion about this once and I believe 'scuzzy' was the first choice and 'sexy' was politely rejected :) But in general it would seem pronouncing the letters is the norm, apart from FOSE which is usually FoeZee or FoeZay.
F4SE was discussed and Four'Zee seemed popular although I thing FAZE is better :)
i always do the vsco girl thing "sksks"
Thanks a ton for this video. I was impatient at first about trying to find the solution after messing up my SKSE recently, but in the end I was glad that you were careful and deliberate in your explanation; it showed me a much better way to make it work with MO.
Some people have Batman. Some people have Spiderman. But we have Gopher! :D
I commented on an earlier video a couple of days ago. I'm continuing my new install with MO vs NMM. More to learn but so much more versatile and clean when understood. Well, with your excellent tutorials I mean. ;-) Thanks Gopher.
Very helpful, thorough, and informative videos! Great work
There was something perhaps too satisfying about this part for me, been waiting for skse for about 2hrs of video now. I do really like the way you do these videos though. +1 for very well made guides
Still a must watch everytime I jump back into Skyrim! Still works Perfectly! Top Tier mate!
Gopher should be a Professor / Teacher / Instructor... The way he explains... could easily absorb any subject...
UNTOLD AMOUNTS OF HELPFULNESS IN YOUR VIDEOS
Why would anyone dislike this video?
Absolutely brilliant Gopher, I'm voting you president of the internet. :)
bro you dont know how much this guy has saved me.
thank you verry much for this series, i recently changed to mod orgnizer and had a lot of issues getting everything working again. this is helping me out a ton.

Love this series, even though you spend to much time at times going over very basic things like we are idiots. Mostly its when you made your point as best as it can be made but yet you go on and on showing the steps no matter how redundant. But still love what you have done here. I just lose my patience sometimes while you reinstall or activate each and every piece when a simple "you would do this for all" comment would suffice. But i nitpick. Great work. Oh and why do you emphasize the word "Merge" so much? You sound like Stewie Griffin if he were to say merge. I laugh every time. Its like you found a special jewel every time you come across that word.
Anyhoo keep up the great work. I subbed even.
Just downloaded the latest SkyUI version and turned out my SKSE was outdated. This helped a lot, thanks! :D
Watching this again in 2018 :p
Gopher is a modding god!
Update for anyone watching (25/01/2018): I just installed SkyUI 5.1 the first way and didn't get the second window but it still installed correctly (as far as I can tell :p ).
Your accent so crystal clear, that even the shitty TH-cam's automatically generated subtitles software makes NO mistakes. I want to speak English like you! xD
Yay! Love the tip of installing all options and moving optional esps.
Thanks for your great MO guide! The most important questions for me though are how all the tools work with it: Bashed Patch, FNIS, Skyproc Patcher, LOOT, T5E
Are you planning on covering those?
Another suggestion while you are about to explain tools for Skyrim: What about a T5E tutorial? Your video on load order broached the subject but maybe a more in depth video on how it works would be good so people can stop worrying and love conflict detection/resolution :)
Regards,
Spock
That shit you did at 21:00 fixed the problem I've been having for days trying to downgrade AE to SE you're a blessing.
Another great video as usual Gopher! :)
Your videos are so useful. Mabe the most useful ones for gaming I ever saw. Thanks a lot.
Hi Gopher, hi everyone!
I started watching your tutorials and as you, I love having everything neat and clean installed. So, because of my need of perfection, I wanted everything to work flawlessly but when I created a shortcut from my Mod Organizer to the desktop and double clicked the shortcut, I got this message : " Mod Organizer has crashed. Should a diagnostic file be created? blah blah...". One note - my shortcut was working until I installed SKSE and SkyUI the way you did(Manually I mean).
P.S. I tried running the game through the MO with SKSE chosen and it's working.
Also, I did NOT get that second box when I tried to install the SkyUI. I just removed the mod and did that thing with removing fomod from the zip.
Regards,
Matko!
Been holding out going to MO. I only use NMM for mod installations in Skyrim. I also Use Wrye Bash. I have used Wrye since Morrowind/Oblivion days and loved it well. For Oblivion Wrye would merge mods so easily... You could run so many more mods than the limit that way. I still use it to this day for Oblivion. Bain installation was so nice and MO reminds me of Bain so much. You really get a good break down of what your mods are doing. What conflicts there are, Etc. But with MO you are really getting somethin very different. Nothing in the game Data folder. I like that Idea but I can see that could also be issue prone for some mods. Yet I do like The idea of this. I am watching the whole series for this tehn going to decide. So far I like the idea. We will see. These are great vids and Gopher is a great teacher.
Damn Gopher you know ALOT! How did you acquire such knowledge on all this!? Your power level is over NIIIIINE THOUSAAAAAAAAND! Thanks though by the way. Your tutorial on this is well organized and presented.
Experimenting most likely AND reading MOST info on read me's and the websites. Its how I do it. Except this time it didn't tell me anything about installing SkyUi with Mod Organizer so I came to this vid.
I Am just the type of person that can't learn things just by reading things. Wish I was but I learn way more by watching.
I've been using Mod Organizer almost as long as I've played Skyrim (couldn't stand NMM). You'd assume that I'd know everything already, but I learned plenty from watching this series. Download Meta Information? Automatic Archive Invalidation? Heck, I didn't even know about the shortcut feature...
Mod Organizer is far better than Nexus MM, thank you for detailed tutorials :)
Are you going to do a video on installing Skyproc patchers with MO?
This video series is great! I am using what I learned from it for all of my Skyrim and Oblivion modding. Thanks!!!
For people using the memory patch within skse. Where should I create my skse.ini folder to activate the patch since my data folder will not have said files within it.
From the STEP project page on SKSE:
1. Right-click the SKSE mod in Mod Organizer and select Open in explorer.
2. Open the SKSE folder or create one if one does not exist.
3. In the SKSE folder, create skse.ini and paste inside it the following:
[General]
ClearInvalidRegistrations=1
[Memory]
DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=768
ScrapHeapSizeMB=256
This seemed to work for me!
Kastellen Thank you soo much, it works :) .It helped me a ton :)
Kastellen Will that work if I want to use mods that should be copied inside the SKSE folder that should be in the Data Folder? I intalled SKSE the way Gopher suggested, but now I'm not sure how to install other mods that should be in the Skyrim (rather than in the Data) folder. The mod in question is the Community Uncapper.
Flávio Alves I don't remember doing anything special when I installed the Uncapper. When I double-click on the Uncapper mod in Mod Organizer, it shows the INI file as being in SKSE/Plugins, and I can edit it within the the INI Files tab. Alternatively, if I right-click on the mod in Mod Organizer and choose "open in Explorer", I find an "SKSE" folder, within that a "plugins" folder, and within THAT the DLL file and the INI file, and I can edit the file there if I prefer. All seems to work okay for me without much trouble.
Yeah, apparently you can just install it normally. I have it working now.
Hey, Gopher! First off, thanks so much for all the work you've done; I speak for plenty when I say, "You're the best." :)
Sadly, I'm bumping into a bit of an issue with MO and the installation of SKSE and SkyUI. I've completed a re format this week, so I know with certainty that the only mod I have is SkyUI and SKSE is active; I've checked the version number in game. Still, somehow I'm noticing that all of my saves under MO are flagged as "Missing ESP". It's may be worth noting that the saves in question (the only ones I have) are only the first 5-10 minutes into the brand new game. While this hasn't directly caused an issue, I'm concerned it will in the future. Any ideas why this might be? I'm nervous to go on ahead installing any other mods until I can solve what the heck is going on already -_-
Thanks again, many times over!
For SkyUI An alternative way I found is by going into your settings tab then plugins, Scroll down to Fomod Installer:not Fomod installer (external): Set the values for enabled for true and prefer to false. It should allow most mods to detect your other mods...
Krispy Ford And that's why some people aren't seeing the warning window...
26:35 That's what happened to me. I never saw the text window with the install option. I just let the small window that had the force close option sit for a little bit. After a short moment it disappeared and SkyUI was installed! Voila! No Problem!
so...not sure what you do for a living, but you should seriously give reading books at a publishing house for audio books some consideration. Your voice is perfect for it dude.
Been waiting on this part. Thank you.
Can you teach us how to use hair mods now because I'm having much difficulty with that
Hey Gopher, thanks again for this video and your others concerning MO. I have been messing around with MO recently and really enjoy it and while I believe I have installed Skyrim Redone correctly I was wondering when you would be releasing a video on that mod and others like it. I know the FOMOD is similar but I wanted to know if there was anything different since there was a lot of options for NMM. Thanks again and keep up the great work! I use your videos right now as double checks for my own use of mods!
He posted earlier that SkyRe will be covered in part 8 or 9
Thank you for this! I always wondered why I see videos on youtube of people with a mod in Mod Organizer named "SKSE Scripts". I mean I knew what its for, but I never knew how do install SKSE in Mod Organizer. But since I already had my SKSE Scripts installed in the Skyrim data directory, I just made the RAR from the scripts folder and deleted the folder from the skyrim data folder, then installed the SKSE Scripts with Mod Organizer. I think they recommend this way to everyone, they should have these instructions on the main SKSE Download page. They should package the the Scripts folder separately so you can easily install it in Mod Organizer after you install the Main files in the main Skyrim Directory. Thank you for this!!
EDIT: Also, where do I put SKSE Scripts in the Load Order in Mod Organizer? Right now I have it right after the Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch.
What I would really like to know is how to install FOMOD based mods for FNV that require the ability to see the other mods visible to get the choices correct. Like Unified Hud Project (a Gopher mod). I haven't been able to find a 'Manual install' button on the FNV fomod plugin. The best advice I've been given is how to install FOMM inside of MO, and install certain mods with FOMM. NOT ideal. I run 220ish mods in Skyrim in MO just fine. Gave up on FNV with MO, went back to NMM. Any advice on how to really do it inside of MO would be greatly appreciated :)
FrostRyder New Vegas is something I will try to tackle once I have the Skyrim videos to the point where I feel I cover 99% of the issues out there.
Gopher Thanks, boss :) I've been missing the power of MO when trying to mod FNV. I think that your idea of manually re-building the mod may be a start. I'll have to look at the contents of uHud and oHud, see what I can do with 'em :)
i am actually the same as you FrostRyder waiting for more vids to be able to mod FNV with MO(and i think it ll be the same way for Fallout3) but in the main while, remoding my skyrim along with Gopher vids
Mohamed Nassero Dean Henchiri I had already switched my Skyrim over a while ago, with the assistance of the videos from the STEP project, made by GamerPoets :)
ah yeah Gopher mentioned it, i should check it too,thx for the info
Gopher I notice you leave .bsa files packed. I there a reason for that? I have read unpacking bsa's is less strain on the game. Thanks for another Skyrim video, keep it up!
Tyler Cone The general view on that is that if your CPU is very weak but your disk is fast you may be better unpacking the BSAs. Otherwise it is not worth it, and may even make it worse (although by an amount so small as to be hard to notice). It really depends what bottles necks your game performance.
Gopher Thank You for the reply. One other Question I have is, I just did a fresh Win7 install and have Skyrim on its own SSD. Would it be best to install MO on that same drive as the game or put it on a 3rd bigger drive for growth and room for Mods. Would this impact my heavy modded game? I also keep my download folder on a 4th drive atm.
Again, Thank You for your time!
~ Canlocu
Thank You. I was struggling with installing these mods into my skyrim with MO.
Quick question about SKSE + MO: a while ago, Gopher, you showed how to add the memory allocation script lines into an SKSE.ini file, which you'd created in the Skyrim data folder when using using Nexus Mod Manager. Seeing as SKSE is installed a little differently with MO, is there any change in how to implement the above fix?
***** SSME is no longer needed due to SKSE's memory fix...
***** Only if you *do not* use SKSE :)
KnowHope Here is a tutorial on how to install/create the SKSE.ini for MO:
th-cam.com/video/AT8fdyzTmiE/w-d-xo.html
***** Well... if you use SKSE then you already have the means to implement the memory path. SSME is for those who do not use SKSE, but who doesn't use it these days?
Using both SSME and SKSE's memory fixes together can also create problems, so It's either one or the other.
59 updates, Gopher? I don't think you get enough of those :P
Hey Gopher, quick question about MO. Is there a different way to install ENBs -and/or Sheson's memory patch- with MO that differs from NMM?
P.S. Thank you so much for all of your informative and awsome tutorial videos. They have been a REALLY big help for me getting my game modded to where I want it!
-EDIT-
I was able to get Sheson's memory patch working by following the tutorial videos on the S.T.E.P. website, however I am still having some difficulty with the ENBs.
Gopher I've been following your instructions for modding for quite some time now. I remember waiting for the next episode of NMM videos. I had 112 mods installed using NMM but started getting really bad memory leaks causing ILS virtually every time I entered/exited a new area. Upon doing more research, learning about the new SKSE using 512mb allocations and such, I came across this series of videos regarding Mod Organizer. I want it. However, I followed your instructions step by step up to this point. I did the SKSE 1.7.1 file management from an absolute clean wiped Skyrim. I.E. All my mods were removed and any subsequent, lingering Skyrim and mod files were removed as well. Then I followed what you did with SkyUI. The manual installation. I even got that little message regarding not having SKSE even though I clearly do. Just as you did, I clicked Install anyhow. Set the proper load order, and I get that error message in game about papyrus. How can this be? I have not altered my .ini files in any way.
I would really appreciate a better understanding of how this could happen.
I believe I have fixed the issue. When launching SKSE from Mod Organizer, there's a prompt that mentions running SKSE_Loader.exe with elevation. I simply went to the file and removed "RUN AS ADMIN". The game loads now, with SKSE working, as well as SKYUI. No conflicts whatsoever!
Regarding SKSE, I am about 150 or mods into modding my game with SKSE being the first mod I installed. Is it too late to resinstall SKSE in the manner described by Gopher? And if so should I delete the scripts folder the SKSE installer created? It does not have any additional scripts added to it other than the original 60 that came with SKSE.
And love your videos by the way, they are lifesavers!
Gopher, over the years that I'm learning the mods, you're my most favorite teacher and I've always been listening to you and always being adviced from your videos.
You explain things just so perfectly. I just have no words.
Great job and thank you for your lessons :)
My Data folder in MO has a lot of red lines indicating that the files are also installed by other mod and I only have unofficial patches and DLCs. The red letters showing just conflicts but the red letters are... you know, scary. Do they simply mean that they win/lose conflicts? or is it an error I should be aware of? I don't remember you showing this in depth, that's why I'm asking. Please help me :(
You didn't tell us, but i guess you reinstalled your skyrim from scratch to have all the skyrim folder clean, am i right? If that was the case, then you also had to deactivate all mods from NMM, am i right? But then, let's just say that i want to use NMM again, is there a way to keep my current setup with NMM or do i need to install everything again? I already downloaded MO and saw that i have Non-MO mods, which i know are form NMM, but i don't want that, because i can't create a empty profile. Is there a way around it? Thanks for the guides Gopher.
what i did was rename my old steam skyrim folder to something like "old skyrim mods" and then reinstall skyrim to get a fresh install. then you can easily go back to your old folder to play your old setup.
TheSilentmills i wonder, how would the people who didnt install skyrim through nexus have it cleaned?
TheSilentmills i wonder, how would the people who didnt install skyrim through nexus have it cleaned?
***** I believe what Gopher actually did was back up his data folder and "verify integrity of game cache" through steam. But however you installed it, it shouldn't be too hard to back up your old game folder and reinstall.
Indeed, reinstalling is not a big deal. Problem is, backing up the files. That'd take hours.
Hey Gopher, I wanted to thank you for you very informative guides its amazing how you describe every tiny bit of what that does and how to fix it etc.
And I wanted to ask you. There is the triangle in the top right corner of the MO right under the minimalize option and in my MO it says that initializing Python failed and I don't have any idea what that Python does. Is it important anyhow?
Very insightful Gopher great video. :)
You brushed over uninstalling SKSE. How is this done?
Can you show us how to use Mod Organizer for FNV
Gopher, first i must thank you for all the Skyrim tutorial videos you have made; they are invaluable for the grannies generation to which i belong.
But i do have a problem with Mod Organizer's handling of SKSE and SkyUI. I followed your installion instructions step by step. And this is the result:
>SKSE is installed and working (getSKSEversion confirms that).
>Yet, when the game launches, i get a message that says SkyUI is not working properly -- Error Code 1.
>When in-game i look at my inventory, the menu is the SkyUI menu, not vanilla. However, when i click on mod configurations, SkyUi is not there, so i connot configure this mod.
I am trying to switch from NMM to Mod Organizer, using a clean install of Skyrim.
The only mods i have added using Mod Organzer are the unofficial patches for Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn, and the unofficial 2K textures patch.
Any advice would be welcome -- perhaps the uninformed like me should revert to NMM?
And thank you again for your your work.
Will you be streaming Skyrim Mod testing on the weekend?
Fesbaz No. Not for several weeks probably.
Why not?
Fesbaz Because my Skyrim is not in a playable state right now.
Alright, good luck with it :)
Gopher Thanks for your hard work. When do you think Skyrim will return?
Hi Gopher.
I have a problem with your uHUD mod in Fallout New Vegas
The Mod doesn't detect the other mods and when i wanna activate it by hand it gives back a error.
Sry for my bad english.
Any idea when there will be a video about SkyRe Installation? :)
Aiko Part 8 I think (although sometimes I get so much footage for a part I split it and so maybe 9).
Gopher Have you been keeping tabs on Perkus Maximus? So far its looking like a very streamlined version of SkyRe and frees up room for some other mods
Hi Gopher, I love your videos! Question though (and I'm sorry I know you're not the tech support for the mods). I keep getting an error: Invalid Index at random points and really can't figure out what is causing it. Google wasn't much help unfortunately. Thank for any help and all your amazing videos! Id have never started modding without your help.
Are you going to talk about how to install and use dynamic SkyProc mods, like Reproccer, under MO?
I would like to second this. I have only recently started using mods like this and ones like FNIS and would like to know how those will work.
Hi Gopher
I was driven to Mod Organizer because of the profile feature. Absolutely no regrets. A question though - will you cover installation of ENBs with MO? (I use Realvision ENB)?
Thanks for your dedication :)
Gopher hi how do you uninstall the skse? Do i have to delete several files or is their one file where i have the option to uninstall it all from? P.S. love you videos and i have been using them very much for Skyrim and Fallout mods
Should the SKSE scripts be at the top of the load order?
So i have been using skse (installed by the installer,)
do i have to go and manually remove all of it ? :s
or is there an alternative, there are lots of red files in the data file ;x
WHEN I GET TO 21:09 MY DESKTOP IS TOTALLY EMPTY AND I HAVE NO 7Z FILE TO CHOOSE FROM HELP!
+ThePieMan305 Look in the downloads folder.
Perhaps this was commented earlier, but I just installed SkyUI, and no secondary window popped up at all. Never the less, the mod installed completely and correctly. It would seem that portion of the video has been resolved by the authors?
will you be installing any ENB mods with mod manager. Thanks for all the help
if you could help me please ive got an error saying failed to spawn "stylesheets" :failed to start process (access is denied. [5])
it comes up when i try to run skse through mod organizer
sorry for any inconveniences i may have caused and i thank you for your great vids
Hey man, I'm having the same problem. If you got the fix, can you tell me or at least point me in the direction of the solution.
+Gopher what weapon mod that is seen in the thumbnail
Hi Gopher. I really need help. So I'm one of the unfortunate people who's SkyUI doesnt pop up with the other little window. So I was going through your guide on how to install it when the little window doesnt pop up. And when I got to the part where I had to delete the fomod folder, it wouldnt give me the option to delete it. Please help.
Gopher i your modding videos have helped me a lot before and really enjoy them. this series is really nice but is there a way to transfer my NMM mods MO or will i have to reinstall all my mods again and if there is a way will you have a video on it. anyways thank you so much for helping me mod my game i dont think without you i would have ever learned about some mods and your tutorials are very helpful.
thanks
Space
The Space Coder Well you can transfer the mods to the MO downloads section, but then you need to 'install' them as normal. I show the full scale of this in part 6.
ok cant wait to see because ive been wanting to use the tool but dont know how to transfer the mods
Gopher The wait is killing us, G.
Is there a way to only show specific mods on certain profiles only?
I have quite a few profiles to test out all the gameplay overhauls and it irks me to have a whole lot of unused mods cluttering my profiles.
Gopher, does Mod Organizer works the same way with Fallout 3 and Oblivion? Does those games get more stable with a high amount of mods using Mod Organizer?
Thanks alot Gopher. even after years its very helpfull :)
gopher did u have skse.ini in ur mod organizer skse folder?
When i try to double click to install skyui it says 'unable to obtain public key from StrongNameKeyPair' Then says 'installation failed error code 5' I don't know how to fix this please help.
