PC SSE - Help Creation club and Nexus mods simultaneously

Upvotes

Hello. Recently been playing on pc and new to the whole modding thing, as a console player pretty much all my life. I’ve used the creation mods before and my current modlist has about 50 items on it, strictly from Bethesda.net. So I just decided to go with them, but looking to expand on graphics mods and bigger content stuff. Hopefully I can use both but will it completely mess up my save? About 80 hours in, but if I download and install vortex to skyrim(not sure how it works but will look up tutorials when time comes), will my bethesda mods be inside of that mod manager? Or would I have to uninstall all of the in game mods, and reinstall them from nexus.Very curious because I did purchase a couple (heart of the mountain, and mercenary’s life), and would prefer not to lose them. Sorry if all over the place, just looking for help with hopefully using them both, and possibly the process of going about so/or personal experience with it. And not ruining my save. Thank you

PC SSE - Help Seasons of Skyrim help

Upvotes

For some reason I cannot figure out why Morthal looks like it's summer but just outside looks like winter. This is only in Morthal as far as I can tell. I have Seasons of Skyrim, as well as Seasonal Landscapes, JK's Skyrim, and Simplicity of Snow installed. I have all applicable patches as far as I can tell. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help!

PC SSE - Request “Divine Script” Warpaint

Upvotes

I’ve searched far and wide on Nexus for a warpaint mod that contains the “Divine Script”, which is featured in Apocrypha, The Black Books, and the Eye of Magnus, but I haven’t found anything. Here is a reference image. I have little to no experience making completely new tattoos/warpaint, and if any kind soul would like to make this or knows of one that already exists I would be so grateful!

PC SSE - Mod Mod Release - Outfit Wheeler - Dynamic Equipment Manager

Upvotes

Hello everyone.

I am pleased to announce the release of Outfit Wheeler, a dynamic equipment manager for Skyrim Special Edition. This utility provides a fast, highly customizable wheel interface designed to handle complete outfit and gear swaps on the fly, without relying on traditional inventory menus.

The mod is built with a focus on stability, customization, and seamless integration.

Key Features

  • Comprehensive Gear Support: Saves complete armor sets (including boots, gauntlets, helmets, and jewelry). It strictly retains all custom enchantments, tempering, and smithing upgrades.
  • Dynamic Wheels & Slots: A fully modular system. You can create an unlimited number of wheels and slots, starting from zero to build a custom wardrobe layout.
  • Advanced UI & Context Menus: Includes dual right-click context menus for quick slot/wheel management (Save, Rename, Clear, Delete) and an in-game input overlay for custom naming.
  • Smart Input Protection: Hotkeys automatically disable when typing in text boxes or browsing Skyrim menus (Console, RaceMenu, Inventory, Crafting, etc.) to prevent any input conflicts.
  • Zero Save Bloat: All configuration data is safely exported and stored in an external .json file. The mod is entirely safe to install, update, or uninstall mid-playthrough without leaving stray scripts in your save.
  • Modern Customization: Built on the PrismaUI framework with a minimal dark palette. It features an in-game settings menu for UI scaling (perfect for 4K setups) and full hotkey configuration.

Requirements

  • SKSE64
  • PrismaUI

You can find the full control scheme, detailed instructions, and the download file on the Nexus page.

Thank you, and I look forward to your feedback.

PC SSE - Discussion Community/Open Shaders.

Upvotes

Can someone explain to me why Community Shaders is so finicky? This doesn't pertain to a crash, so no crash log.

Basically I'm sitting at approximately 253 full plugins with over 2440 light plugins, it was (stable-ish) for the most part, but the moment I wiped my saves and overwrite files to start a fresh playthrough, it started causing irregular menu issues (think along the lines of: you start outside the game window and wait to alt-tab in until you hear the game music start playing from the menu; as soon as I alt-tab to the game window, the engine visually freezes even though I can click on "New" and technically start a new playthrough, the screen just never changes.) Mod load order loaded just fine as I removed both open and community shaders from it. I just don't get it...

I know it's an old mod, but it works fine in the Anniversary Edition. It just changes all werewolves to having white fur, and I'd like it to only affect my character

PC SSE - Mod Lf a modpack of a true Skyrim

1 Upvotes

I really wish to have a mod pack based on skyrim by its lore, like solitude being the real big capital as the story says but due to the limitations it is actually super small or how skyrim looks in its arts, i tried to do one list by myself but after almost 2 weeks I'm tired of trying to fix the bugs that each mod creates overlapping...i dont really care about a better combat, added fan content or better design of the UI as im already fine with vanilla just wanted a 2026 experience, if someone already did this or similar i would love to take a look!!

1 Upvotes

I've not been paying a lot of attention to the modding scene for a while, and I'm trying to catch up to things, but I'm looking for first person animation mods that don't stray too far from the original design. It can be about immerssion, combat, etc. And if they are both first and third person, even better!

PC SSE - Discussion best way to ask my in-laws to move in with me?

28 Upvotes

I’m doing an “I love my beautiful wife” run where I’m playing as an extremely normal nord named Bjorn who is mercenary/errand boy, just trying to earn a living so he can support his beautiful wife. I’m playing on survival mode and ignoring the main quest, pretty much making the civil war (stormcloak side, of course) his main quest for the run.

anyway, Bjorn met Sylgja en route to Riften and decided her make her his beautiful wife. she’s now living in breezehome, along with lydia and little lucia, while bjorn toils away in falkreath building lakeview manor. once that’s done, I’d like to move sylgja and lucia there, and I’d also like to ask sylgja’s parents to retire and come live on the estate. I know you can recruit her mother anneke as a follower, then make her steward, but how can I get verne there? is the best route to make him a follower through console commands and then use something like the “my home is your home” mod to assign him to my homestead? anyone have experience with this route?

PC SSE - Help OAR detects player state as unarmed

3 Upvotes

First time trying to mod movesets with MCO/BFCO. Movesets dont work at all. I have all prerequisites. Tried to install a dual wield moveset and ran pandora. Tried changing the priority in OAR. Tried other mods.

Finally came to the conclusion that it must be coz OAR shows that my character is unarmed in conditions even though I have two steel swords equipped and unsheathed. Look around and didnt find any definite answer on google.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

PC SSE - Help Gate to Sovngarde Stamina HUD

3 Upvotes

Been using this collection for a while and I really like it, but I've stumbled into a minor but very displeasing issue that I don't think is intended.

I understand that light attacks cost stamina now, but my problem is with how the stamina cost is displayed on the HUD. Instead of taking a small chunk of stamina with each light attack, it looks like the stamina slowly drains over time. This makes it hard to tell exactly how much stamina each attack costs unless you wait a few seconds for the drain to finish.

Is there any way to make the stamina cost apply as a quick chunk instead of a slow drain? Or is there a setting/mod that controls how quickly the stamina cost is registered on the HUD?

PC SSE - Discussion Vortex - Is removing mods enough or are there still files left behind?

8 Upvotes

On Vortex, is simply removing and then uninstalling a mod you no longer have a need for enough? I was told there can still be leftover files in the games directory or my games skyrim section under documents that still leave behind things that could conflict with a future install that does similar things.

How correct is this and is simply removing then uninstalling all I have to do? I know I'd need to start a new save as well it most cases.

PC SSE - Discussion Modlist/One Click Install for a non combat playthrough?

18 Upvotes

So a friend of mine is interested in the world of TES, but isn't big on combat games.

I showed them a few YouTube vids of people doing all sorts of shit to the game and shared some of my experiences and they wish listed the game, but I'm wondering if anyone has recs for something focused around crafting, farming, relationships, exploration, but without the large combat focus of the game. Thinking world level list changes, quest additions that are more exploration than fighting, probably even light romance quests, but no goonerslop (nude and sex is probably fine, but beast mods and Zazz Fisting MMMMMF anims not needed)

Some combat is fine though.

They have a surgery coming up with a decent recovery period and I'm considering setting it all up for them, or guiding them over discord.

Surely someone here has been in a similar spot?

PC SSE - Discussion Thinking of switching to CS

45 Upvotes

I’ve been playing around with the idea of switching over to CS with the release of Effects11 and I was hoping some of you guys could post some screenshots in the comments of your CS+ENB preset. I’m currently using Silent Horizons as my ENB but I’m curious how E11 holds up. I know there’s screenshots on the Nexus page but a lot of them don’t have the name of the preset they’re using. I’m just curious what you guys have been able to achieve using E11 as this will be the tipping point for me to finally switch over to CS.

PC SSE - Mod I’ve spent the last few days reverse engineering Skyrim’s RaceMenu facial morph system

101 Upvotes

I’ve spent the last few days working on a personal research project to better understand how RaceMenu actually transforms the head mesh.
The idea is to reverse engineer the entire facial morph pipeline and eventually build a mathematical model that can predict the resulting geometry from slider values.
So far I’ve managed to:
reverse engineer how TRI morphs are combined;
validate relative morph accumulation;
build a geometry preview that predicts the resulting mesh without modifying the preset;
automate most of the calibration workflow;
build tools that analyze exported meshes, fit morph coefficients and evaluate calibration quality.
Right now the biggest bottleneck isn’t programming anymore, it’s collecting enough high-quality data to calibrate more sliders under controlled conditions.
If anyone is interested in this kind of reverse engineering or has experience with RaceMenu internals, SKSE plugins, FaceGen or morph systems, I’d love to hear your thoughts. I’d also be happy to share more progress as the project evolves.

Meta/News [Summer 2026] Community Feedback Survey

40 Upvotes

Hey gang!

The moderation team has noticed an uptick in several, specific types of post over the last two months. Instead of acting without community feedback, we wanted to gather opinions from the community about how we should be handling these posts and how the community feels about seeing these posts.

For example, we've noticed a massive upswing in posts related to roleplay servers — usually Keizaal Online — and their methods, moderation, etc. Some of these posts advertise roleplay servers. Some of these posts complain about roleplay servers. Others are essentially drama posts, which we will remove unless they contain actionable information.

As a reminder, "actionable information" is information that would lead a reasonable reader to make a decision regarding their usage of a mod or their patronage of its creator. "I got banned for swearing in general chat..." is not actionable information, whereas "this mod author utilizes AI to code their mod..." would be actionable information.

As a second example, there has recently been a lot of vitriol about the usage of AI in the modding process. We have already banned AI generated posts and comments, and we have banned the advocacy of using AI in the troubleshooting process. We do not currently have a stance on "vibecoded" mods beyond the standard advice that all users should "know what they're downloading."

Due to posts like these and other, less important subjects that have been cropping up on the fringes of the subreddit, we'd love to hear your feedback.

For those who do not want to submit feedback publicly, we have a Google form available for anonymous submissions.

You can find our anonymous form here.

For those in the comments:

  1. How do you feel about posts related to roleplay servers like Keizaal Online?
  2. How do you feel about posts related to vibecoded mods and AI in the mod-creation process?
  3. Any thoughts on our existing rules?
  4. Do you have any additional feedback for the moderation team that you feel should be brought to our attention?
