Multiple SKSE-folders (Vanilla, Uncapper, SkyRe)

Post » Fri Aug 09, 2013 2:00 am

Hello,

I'm using Skyrim Mod Organizer, SKSE, Skyrim Community Uncapper, and Skyrim Redone (SkyRe). This has caused some complexity regarding the SKSE-folder, which now exists in three places:

1. As recommended by the http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:Skyrim_Installation#tab=Hacks, I've extracted the http://skse.silverlock.org/ into the vanilla Skyrim folder (alongside TESV.exe). I've also created "Skyrim\Data\SKSE\skse.ini" and added the recommended statements to the ini.

Skyrim\Data\SKSE\ currently contains:

  • SKSE.ini
  • Plugins\SKSE_Elys_Uncapper.dll
  • Plugins\SKSE_Elys_Uncapper.ini

2. I've installed Skyrim Mod Organizer, which sets up an alternate file system for Skyrim. I've also installed the Skyrim Community Uncapper using the Mod Organizer.

ModOrganizer\mods\Skyrim -Community- Uncapper\SKSE currently contains:

  • SKSE.ini
  • Plugins\SKSE_Elys_Uncapper.dll
  • Plugins\SKSE_Elys_Uncapper.ini

3. I've installed SkyRe using the Mod Organizer. It includes yet another SKSE-folder.

ModOrganizer\mods\T3nd0s Skyrim Redone\SKSE currently contains:

  • Plugins\SKSE_Elys_Uncapper.ini

Two questions:

1. When launching SKSE via the Skyrim Mod Organizer (as I always do), does it read the SKSE.ini file from "Skyrim\Data\SKSE\" or from "ModOrganizer\mods\Skyrim -Community- Uncapper\SKSE"? The main SKSE-files such as the skse_loader.exe are located in the vanilla file structure, so perhaps SKSE.ini must be there as well, or does the Mod Organizer handle it? Basically, can I delete SKSE.ini from either vanilla or Mod Organizer? The same question applies to the duplicate "SKSE_Elys_Uncapper.dll".

2. What about the duplicate "SKSE_Elys_Uncapper.ini" files; is the one in "ModOrganizer\mods\Skyrim -Community- Uncapper\SKSE\Plugins" or the one in "ModOrganizer\mods\T3nd0s Skyrim Redone\SKSE" the "actual" one? I assume that the one in SkyRe is the one being used, but would like to be certain. The Uncapper doesn't appear in the load order, after all.

What I basically want is to remove or disable unnecessary INI-files, so that I don't end up editing ones that aren't being used.

Thanks for your time. :)
