noob needs help with skse

[melvinsplash]

as the thread title suggests, I'm stumped.. I can't figure out how to install skse. Im following Anatriax's guide to modding skyrim but i just dont understand the skse installation. please help.

is there anything wrong with using the skse installer? Anatriax is saying to manually install in his guide..

I read it's not recommended to use the auto installer, but I used it and it worked fine. If you are going to manually install, just extract the archive file to your desktop. Open the SKSE folder and drag all those files to your skyrim game folder. Overwrite when prompt. And that should be it.

Google installing SKSE.

From the amazingly sexy voiced Gopher.
 

1) Extract the 7zArcive.

2) Open the arcive and navigate to the root folder (It should be the first one, but if not it is the one that has the "Data" folder inside)

3) Right click and make "Data" either a .zip or .7z Archive. Name this Archive "SKSE" or "Skyrim Script Extender"

4) Keep this window open. Hold the windows key (located between CTRL and ALT) press "E". Navigate to your root Skyrim directory

    ( %\Games\steamapps\common\Skyrim).

5) Copy the contents, minus the .7z archive, into your Skyrim folder.

6) Open Mod Organizer, click the Disk in the top left corner (Install mod from Archive). 

7) Navigate to the previously extracted 7zArchive, open it, and select the "SKSE" archive that we've made. 

8) In the following window right click "SKSE" and "Set data directory". You should have a green notification in the bottom left of this window that says       "Looks good!" Click "OK"

9) In the left pane of Mod Organizer Drag this above the Unmanaged content. This is where we'll keep all of our SKSE plugins and modding tools. 

Mod Organizer should automatically detect SKSE Loader. If not:

1) Click the gears on the top bar of Mod Organizer. 

2) In "Title" label it as "SKSE"

3) Click "..." next to binary and navigate to where we installed SKSE, and select skse_loader.exe

4) Add and Close

Is exactly what he'll tell you to do, he'll just show you as he's doing it.
