1) Enable Papyrus logs in your Skyrim.ini

If you unfamiliar with how to edit Skyrim's .ini files you may wish to refer to this comprehensive guide.

Find your Skyrim.ini file. MO2 users keep in mind you need to use the built-in INI editor. In the Skyrim.ini file confirm that you see the following entries.

[Papyrus]
fPostLoadUpdateTimeMS=500.0
bEnableLogging=0
bEnableTrace=0
bLoadDebugInformation=0

If these are not present then add them. If you already have a [Papyrus] section in your file be sure to add these to the existing one. You do not want duplicate [Papyrus] sections nor do you want to duplicate an existing setting such as fPostLoadUpdateTimeMS. Save this file once you have confirmed there are no duplicates.

If you are feeling lazy then you can directly modify the settings here. Change bEnableLogging=0 to bEnableLogging=1 in order to activate logs. Change bEnableTrace=0 to bEnableTrace=1 in order to get debugging info in your logs. Save and you are done.

If you are not feeling lazy then the correct way it to also copy the above into your SkyrimCustom.ini file. Only it is inside of the Custom.ini that you change the settings from =0 to =1. This allows you to revert to the default settings by deleting your Custom.ini. Which is handy if you break something.

2) Start the game

With the logs enabled start up Skyrim and start playing the game. When you encounter glitchy behavior it is possible that these news logs will contain more information. You can look through the logs yourself to see if you can find the problem. Or you can upload the logs to the forums and ask for help.

3) Finding and uploading logs

The logs are located in your Skyrim My Games folder. Inside this folder you will find some Skyrim .ini files, your Saves directory that contains all games saves, and a newly created Logs folder. Open the Logs\Script folder. You will likely see multiple Papyrus .log files. The most recent one will be Papyrus.0.log. This file corresponds to the last time you started Skyrim. It contains information from the time you first arrived at the Main Menu until you exited the game. The Papyrus.1.log contains information from the time before that. It's an older log file.

If you have successfully started the Enforcer then you will also see a User folder inside of the Logs\Script one. Open that and you will see a SES.0.log file and an SESDetailed.0.log file. You may also see logs from others mods. The SES files are specific to Slaverun Enforcer - Standsalone (SES).

If you have encountered glitchy behavior and seek help in the forums, it is often best to post a copy of these three log files.

1. Logs\Script\Papyrus.0.log — Contains general Skyrim errors.
2. Logs\Script\User\SES.0.log — Contains important information about the Enforcer and sometimes errors.
3. Logs\Script\User\SESDetailed.0.log — Contains extremely detailed information about what the Enforcer was doing.

Keep in mind these logs are rotated each time you launch the game. So if you encounter a glitch be sure to upload the logs that were created when the glitch occurred. If you have launched the game since then the logs will no longer end in 0.log. They will have a different number.
