A week of trying to MOD current Version GOG AE Skyrim HELL'p

[TeachMEh]

Hi all 💔

I've always wanted to have corn in my favorite game so I decided I'll finally take the time to just mod it ---------- but it has been a hell man! I've been reading guides, reading up on reddit, reading on here, asking AI.....etc it just wont work! 

I am on GOG Skyrim Anniversary Edition version  1.6.1179 I first tried using Vortex, that didn't work after a couple of days I deleted everything and started new with Mod Manager 2 and downloaded everything again and still that didn't work!
 

The bugs I encountered: 
 

1- Telling me that things aren't installed, like SkyUI, RaceMenu, SKSE...etc , even though they are installed.

2- Telling me that SKSE version is 0.0.0 and it needs update even though I've got the latest correspondent GOG version.
3- After starting new game; the menu disappears but the screen remains on the Skyrim logo, no loading occurs. 

4- After starting a new game or loading a save the game crashes to desktop.

5- After starting a new game I become the cart and cant move, Helgen gates are closed and even though I. AM. THE. CART the horse keep dragging me and slams me against the gate of Helgen while the guards watch me with contempt.

6- I get different messages, like mods missing or save corrupted or....etc 

 

I don't get all those at the same time mind; and I disabled all mods and plugins to see if the game still runs and it does, though my character cant move anymore, it just glides around, even though it can still interact and fight and does everything, it just isn't animated.

 

So please! Guys! Give me simple steps that a regard like me can follow to have every +18 mod possible (Or at least just the basics....) run on my GOG Skyrim! I...I don't want to my brain anymore, it hurts to think at this point....just give me ABC steps to follow here and I'll do it...  💔

sound like you are not starting the game with the skse.exe (or you are missing the address library mod that can be found linked in red text on sexlab's mod page), you need to install skse manually into skyrim's install location and setup your mod manager to start the game with its exe (if you are lucky your mod manager will auto detect it)

After installing SKSE (which even works via Vortex these days) you need to close Vortex and restart, otherwise the silly program doesn't know what it just installed.

Just for testing purposes, go to your Data folder and double click on skse64_loader.exe which should load the game w/o all the errors you mentioned.

(Oh, and install LAL, you don't want to ride the cart everytime you test a new mod!)

Seems you've either not run FNIS or your SKSE isn't working. Ooops. The latter.

 

I'm not sure how closely related AE and GOG are, but you should follow the AE for Beginners Guide and test if your game is still running after installing every single mod. (Yes, somtimes it's Lib this and Tweak that, but better be on the safe side than debugging again and again)

This has been in Skyrim since day 1. The intro is notoriously easy to break. This could be coming from anywhere, but most likely you're looking for a badly made mod.

The only reasonable way to debug freezing issues is to remove mods until the problem goes away. If you want to try to do it properly (for learning purposes perhaps) then your work starts from ProcExp, x64dbg and windbg.

Are you starting the game by using the Run SKSE from MO2?

 

Did you have a stable, working game before you started with the mods?

I'll link a simple installation guide – it's for version 1.6.1170 – but it should be easy to see which parts you need to modify to make it work with the GOG version.

I did all of those! I promise. I got all the requirements downloaded before I start the game. I moved the .dll and .exe files and the scripts by hand to the skyrim folder and the data folder and I did start skyrim via the skse

Are you using the correct SKSE version for the GOG version of Skyrim AE?

It should be:

Current GOG Anniversary Edition build 2.2.6 (game version 1.6.1179)

According to this

I do....., following your advice and what the other guys said, I managed to start Skyim, but now I have two issues, the first one is that I get an error message when trying to start Skyrim, I ignore that error message and say "No" the game starts normal, but once I start a new game the same stiff problem appears, I am attaching a screenshot and a video for you to see,,,,
Note that when I installed Skyrim I played normally, everything worked normally, but once I started modding, it also worked normally with SkyUI but after modding for a week it became stiff, even without Mods, it would still be stiff, I would still be the cart, I am using Pandora now mind you, only Pandora as I think FNIS was the reason the game crashed in the past, Idk, just a hunch....

Okay I couldn't upload the video I took of the screen here because it only allows gifs, I converted into a gif but it doesn't work, so here is the video uploaded on this link, you can see how the player character is the one character that isn't animated...

The error message is saying that you have an incorrect version of RaceMenu.

It should be:

RaceMenu Anniversary Edition v0-4-19-14 GOG

See Optional Files.

 

Uninstall the version you currently have.

 

Did you run Pandora after installing your animations?

Hit the large arrow head.

(This is an old version of Pandora)

I do have that exact version!!! I'm not that dumb, I can follow simple instructions I promise! 

I managed to fix the stuck in A pose problem..., I just kept deleting files and re-running Pandora till it fixed the A pose problem..., Now I have another problem, when I move sideways the movement is faster than when I move front and back, but that's not a big deal, I can live with that,

But I guess now I have to solve this racemenu thing, because even though the game isn't crashing, I am getting this error message at the start, and when I exit the game I get a crash log even though the game isn't crashing

Oh by the way, after installing all these mods the best I got is that when I loot characters they get fully naked now....But how do I ask them to fuck? There are no dialogues for that.. 🤣

Exactly how many mods do you have installed?

 

You obviously have a fundamental problem with your game. The problems you have posted in this thread are symptoms of a greater problem.

Did you follow a guide?
