Can't figure out Sexlab Survival

[Sammy_Wammy]

So after being intimidated by prereqs for prereqs for prereqs, I finally decided I wanted to try out Sexlab Survival SE. Problem is, I can't figure out the step where I make a Tes5Edit patch, as I get a bug where it tells me the following when I try to open it, whether I try opening it on its own as an administrator or through MO2:

 

Fatal: Could not open registry key: \SOFTWARE\Bethesda Softworks\Skyrim\

 

I tried doing as it suggested and running Skyrim through the launcher but that didn't help. After the error, Tes5Edit opens with this on the right side:

I don't know what any of this means

 

I figured, well maybe I don't need it. Maybe I can deal with armors being buggy. So I launch the game , hit new game, and when the game tries to load the character creator it crashes. I took a glance at the papyrus log, but I'm not familiar enough with it yet to know what's causing the crash, and also my little smooth-brain is already a bit overwhelmed by trying to dive into requirements and such. Any help would be appreciated, but I think I might just have to give up on survival and keep with my other playthrough.

OH I found where the crash logger logs crashes. I also have no idea what any of this means

There is an active support topic for Sexlab Survival SE.  Why not ask your question there?  It's more likely to be seen by those who have the knowledge to help you.

I am a fool, it was not sexlab survival I needed help with, but mainly Devious followers or devious devices causing the crash. I didn't think of it earlier, but I disabled the devious mods and I no longer crash on new game.

 

I'll still likely need the tes5edit thing figured out at some point I'm sure to get the armors working though, and I'd still like to figure out the Devious mods if possible.

 

Edit: In case anyone else gets the same issue later, when I was searching through the actual support thread (woah, smart) for SL Survival SE I found I needed a program called SSEEdit, not TES5edit. TES5edit is only set up for Oldrim, whereas SSEEdit is the same program, just updated to Special Edition.

Hm. Probably because that would be the smart thing to do, and I am not that. Thanks!
