SKSE Launch Patch v1.4

YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE MY WORK IN PAID MODS.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

SPECIAL EDITION DOES NOT EXISTS
Special Edition is so fucked up in terms of how it loads and organizes mods, so that a tool as simple as mine just doesn't cut it anymore.

You need an actual mod manager (or just don't use mods at all). My personal reccomendation is Mod Organizer 2.

USE EITHER THIS OR MOD MANAGERS

Because of how mod managers work, my patch is incompatible with them. I'm not going to fix that - if you're using a mod manager, you don't need my patch anyway.

HOW TO USE IT
Just run it. Execute it. Start the EXE file.
Oh, and of course you need SKSE installed. It's an SKSE patch after all.

WHAT IT DOES
This patch allows you to run Skyrim+SKSE:
- from your regular Desktop shortcut
- from Skyrim Launcher
- from Steam client
- or even starting TESV.exe directly
- oh, the shortcut generated by SKSE will work too, but now you don't really need it

HOW IT WORKS
When you run this patch:
- it extracts it's own version of TESV.exe, which not only starts SKSE, but also hides its ugly command line window
- right before extracting its own file, it renames official TESV.exe to TESV_original.exe
- it edits or creates from scratch an INI file (SKSE.ini), which tells SKSE to work on TESV_original.exe instead of TESV.exe

WHY IT'S SO AWESOME
1. 1. It's neat - doesn't pop up a console window, like regular SKSE does.

2. Because this patch will work with any version of SKSE, including those yet to come
3. Because it doesn't conflict with mods, that use their own SKSE.ini file, since it edits the file, not places a new one
4. In case of new Skyrim or SKSE version you only have to run the patch again
5. If you overwrite SKSE.ini with some mods, executing the patch again will solve the problem
6. Although this patch is written in English, it will work with any language version of the game
