The Vortex application can be installed wherever.  The critical part is having the staging folder be on the same drive as the game folder so you can use hardlink deployment.

I'm about ready to give up. I have Skyrim SE installed on my F drive, a folder that was installed by Steam called Steam Library in which the game is located on the F drive, Vortex loaded on the C drive. All mods mapped to the F drive under the Steam Library folder, hardlinked to the (F:)\SteamLibrary\Vortex Mods\Skyrim 

 

When I run the FNIS it still gives me the SKE64 error even though I did both the upload and dragged the file over to vortex. I uploaded the below Mods and followed the instructions on the page and also uploaded any Mods that have to go along with these such as the Race, SKE64, SkyUI, etc.... When looking at Vortex the only alert I get is the run FNIS alert, other than that it seems that everything else is gtg until I run FNIS and that gives me the error of SKE64, and the mods not being installed correctly....

Hi there. I must to ask you, because I'm out of ideas where or how i can find the solution. Skyrim version is 1.6.342.0.8, SKSE version is SKSE64 2.1.4, SL version is the last one, 163.7. I'm almost sure it's caused by the newest version of Skyrim SE, but I didn't upgrade it, I simply decided to download SE right now from Steam. Is there any way how to fix it or any patch in development? Thanks! 

Did you download Address Library for SKSE plugins - AIO AE?

You should be using Vortex to run FNIS via its "FNIS integration".  It will run when it needs to (when you install/remove/update animations), and won't when it shouldn't.  This action will happen during the Deploy step.  It isn't mandatory to run FNIS via Vortex's full integration, but it will result in a MUCH easier user experience if you do.  At a minimum, get FNIS working in Vortex with the integration method, and then you can disable integration go into Settings and disable "Run FNIS on Deployment Event" and instead run it manually via the FNIS button in Vortex.  Also, don't forget to configure FNIS from within Vortex (gear icon in the top menu in MODS view).

 

While it is perhaps easier to get started using Vortex than some other alternatives, it still has procedural requirements that need to be followed to install things correctly and successfully.  There is a built-in Knowledge Base option on the left menu.  You should start with Getting Started, but you can try jumping to the Tools Setup subsection instead.  Here is a direct link you can view in a browser vs. inside the Vortex UI.  Same page.

I noticed some of the KB info is a little dated.  Something that stood out as needing update was references to "dinput" as a mod type.  That was renamed to or replace by "Engine Injector" AFAICT.  ENB is another optional mod type.  Not sure if there is any functional difference between Engine Injector and ENB.  I simply use the one that matches most what I'm trying to do.  If I'm installing something in the game application folder that is an ENB, I use ENB, otherwise I use Engine Injector.  Both allow at least some degree of deployment access to the main game folder containing the game application files.  The ENB/Engine Injector option has to be configured on a mod by mod basis.  The default mode is always to install mods to Data.

 

While systems like FapAttack Wabbajack and Nexus Mods new Collection system have the potential to reduce the pain threshold on modding, they probably aren't going to be riding the bleeding edge of an update curve like you and others are trying to do now with Anniversary Edition...especially while Bethesda still has pending updates about to be released.  My advice to you is the same I just gave above.  Downgrade back to 1.5.97, with all of its requirements, and wait this mess out.

So much this. The end result is you will have a perfectly-playable, butter-smooth game to play instead of an ongoing headache with no end in sight.

 

PS: the move from SSE 1.6.xxx to 1.5.97 is an UPgrade imho. The downgrade occurred when Bethesda rudely crammed 1.6.xxx up our collective Todds.

Skyrim version is 1.6.342.0.8, SKSE version is SKSE64 2.1.4, SL version is the last one, 163.7.

You have the wrong version of SL installed for your game version. If you're not going to revert back to game version 1.5.97, then you need SexLab Framework 1.64b or whatever the latest 1.64 build is.

 

More to the point, it seems that you might not have installed SKSE64 correctly either. Here's something that may (or may not) help you:

Installing SKSE64

 

NOTE- Because it now installs SKSE64 completely automatically*, Vortex is absolutely the best way to install SKSE64 into SSE. If you are not using Vortex, the best option is to import the 7z archive into your mod manager. Manual installation is the least desirable because it does not facilitate updating or cleanly uninstalling SKSE64 when it updates.

*I have been blocking Steam/SSE updates and so have not allowed the Anniversary Edition to insinuate itself onto my machine. Accordingly, I can neither confirm nor deny that Vortex "knows" about AE and/or the correct SKSE64 versions for game versions 1.6.xxx, which have been completely recompiled using a different version of Visual Studio. Please consult the Vortex Discussion page for more info.

1. Launch Vortex and wait for it to load and stabilize

***********************************************************************
Vortex versions 1.2.12 and above will install SKSE64 for you automatically via a new extension. Follow the instructions in this video:

***********************************************************************

NON-VORTEX MOD MANAGER & MANUAL INSTALLATION

1. Select the correct version of SKSE64 for your SSE or SAE Game version
Game  / SKSE64
1.6.342/ 2.1.4* Recompiled version
1.6.323/ 2.1.3* Recompiled version
1.6.318/ 2.1.2* Recompiled version
1.5.97 / 2.0.20** Last SSE Version released 11/2019
1.5.97 / 2.0.19**
1.5.97 / 2.0.17
1.5.80 / 2.0.16
1.5.73 / 2.0.15
1.5.62 / 2.0.12
1.5.53 / 2.0.10
1.5.50 / 2.0.8
1.5.39 / 2.0.7
1.5.23 / 2.0.6
1.5.16 / 2.0.5
1.5.03 / 2.0.4
*NOTE 1: SKSE64 versions 2.1.xxx and above are not fully functional as of 20 December, 2021. To return to fully functional SKSE64 and mods, revert your 1.6.xxx game to SSE 1.5.97 via the Unofficial SSE Downgrade Patcher and install SKSE64 v 2.0.17.

**NOTE 2: Several users, including me, have experienced a CTD on load with SKSE64 2.0.19, and several SKSE-dependent mods have not been updated to work with 2.0.20 or the Address Library. If you experience CTD on Load, reverting to SKSE64 2.0.17 is likely to fix it.

2. Save the downloaded SKSE64 7z archive anywhere you can easily find again, such as your desktop

3. Extract the downloaded SKSE64 7z Archive to anywhere you can easily find again, such as your desktop

4. Open the extracted SKSE64 folder in your File Manager (double-click it)

5. Double-click to open the archive's folder named the same as the archive itself- "skse64_2_00_xx" where "xx" is the last 2 digits of the version number

***********************************************************************
If there is already a "Data" folder visible in the extracted archive, skip to Step 8
***********************************************************************

6. Right-Click and select "New" and "Folder." Name the new folder "Data."

7. Move (Drag & Drop) the archive's existing "Scripts" folder into the new "Data" folder

8 Ignore the "src" folder and the 2 txt files and multi-select (Ctrl+Click) the Data folder and 3 files - two dll's and one exe - and Copy them (Ctrl+C)


***********************************************************************
For manual installation (worst of the 3 choices-see below)
***********************************************************************
9a. Navigate to your Skyrim Special Edition folder where SkyrimSE.exe is
9b. Paste the Data folder and 3 files you copied above into it
9c. Authorize any Folder Merges and Overwrites
9d. You're done- Skip the Non-Vortex mod manager installation steps below

***********************************************************************
To use a non-Vortex mod manager (better choice than manual installation)
***********************************************************************

9. Move up one level to the top level of the extracted 7z archive and paste (Ctrl+V) the folder and 3 files into the top level of the 7z archive

10. Confirm that you have a Data folder plus 2 dll's and 1 exe file in the top level of the 7z archive, then delete the "skse64_2_00_xx" folder

11. Multi-select the Data folder, 2 dll's and 1 exe, Ctrl+Rt Click on one of them select "7z" and "Add to Archive" to create a new "skse64_2_00_xx.7z" installable 7z archive with the correct folder and file structure

12. Follow your mod manager's instructions and import the new SKSE64 7z archive you just created into your mod manager as you would any mod

13. Follow the instructions for your mod manager and mark the imported 7z archive to indicate that it goes into the Game folder and not the Data folder. For example, in older versions of Vortex you would double-click the installed-but-not-enabled mod and change Mod Type to "dinput" or "Engine Injector."


14. Enable and Deploy SKSE64 (or whatever the corresponding control inputs are in other mod managers) to complete the installation into your game, secure in the knowledge that it will be child's play when it comes time to uninstall it for a future version change

Game-launch procedures

 

 

• Right-click the new copy of skse_loader.exe in your Skyrim Special Edition folder
• Select "Send to" then "Desktop (create shortcut)"
• Manually launch Steam (if it is not already running) using the Steam shortcut >>>NOT<<< skse64_loader.exe.
• With Steam already running, double-click your new skse_loader.exe shortcut to launch SSE
• Later, when Vortex tells you there have been external changes and asks for guidance, be sure to select "Save All Changes" so Vortex does not undo what you just did
• Never again use the Mod handler of the vanilla game launcher because it will disable SkyUI_SE*
• Always and forevermore make sure Steam is already running before you launch SSE via skse64_loader.exe

*You can eliminate this restriction by adding Skyrim.esm as a Master to SkyUI_SE.esp

If I do the downgrade, do I need to switch back to skse 2.0.2 or whatever, or is the 2.1.4 still going to work?

Please read the pink-headlined guide I just posted. It is right above your post- you had to scroll past it to post your question.

[wolfwalker]

So for all the noobs and idiots like me out there who have been struggling with this...

 

1. Go to Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Downgrade Patcher on Nexus

 

2. Download either patch manually NOT IN MOD Manager, whichever you prefer. Note best of both worlds has some risk of not working apparently

 

3. Open the .exe 

 

4. It will either automatically discover or you will need to open the folder to SkyrimSE in your steam folders

 

5. Click the Green Patch button

 

6. Download and enter SKSE 2.0.2 or the middle on on silverlock

 

7.Profit

Ok, I didn't know about the FNIS integration thing. I went with what that mod said about installing it that you had to run FNIS Behavior to make sure that it works so I went to that and ran it. Right now it looks gtg. Everything has been downloaded (for like the 10th time LOL!!!) and I have no alerts on Vortex. I'm going to add some more mods to the game and see what happens. Thank you for your help in advance!

[4nk8r]

@Vyxenne I've been considering posting a separate Heretic's Guide to Modding thread.  Since we both don't use Vortex in the same way, maybe when I do finally get around to doing this you'll drop in to contribute a more purist's route than the one I'm bound to describe?  My way is going to include a lot of off-label usage in how to turn the entire game install into a series of self-contained mods so you never have to worry ever again about an update messing things up, using Wrye Bash for drag drop and savegame/load order curation instead of Vortex's interdependency method, auto-sort, etc.

I'm going to be a bit weird here and report a problem that has nothing to do with AE or mod managers.

 

When my PC starts sex in a city, they've pretty much alwasy dropped down to the false ground underneath, but recovered to the real ground level. It was an annoyance, but something I could live with.  With the latest 1.5.97 version however, my PC will drop down to the false ground, but stay there.  It doesn't happen all the time, but often enough to be bothersome.  I know that I can simply fast travel to the city entrance, but I'd like a solution.

 

Is anybody else having this problem?  Thanks.

Have you noticed any pattern with which animations suffer from this, or is it random and sometimes the same animations are fine?  I remember references to animation-specific alignment issues with some older animations, but I don't remember which author's it was.  This might be what you're experiencing.

Is it possible for SexLab to run slow if my GPU is being ran up really high by my environment/graphics mods/settings? 

 

Am not certain at this point anymore if it was running like this before I added ^those mods, but SexLab SE has consistently ran slower than LE, despite my SE having less total mods & less script heavy mods. I even recently cleaned & reinstalled it after switching from Beta 9 to the full version (all of this is pre AE btw) & it made no difference in performance.

 

To clarify what I mean by SexLab running slow, i mean the animation tab in the MCM is less responsive (even with no extra animation packs installed), the game responds to my hotkey usage very obviously slower than LE's SexLab, & it in turn is effecting other SexLab mods. Defeat & Matchmaker take far longer to start scenes than in LE & in locations where the FPS dips to at least 50, all of these slower processes get even slower. My FPS in LE could dip to the 30s & 40s in specific spots in Falkreath & these mods would still run faster than SE as if the FPS is still 60. My Skyrim LE & SE both use more or less the exact same environment/graphic mods (status & quality of SE ports notwithstanding), & my GPU runs 30-40% less high than SE on average while my CPU runs the same for both games.

 

Not sure what I need to provide to show what's causing this performance loss. Tried Papyrus logs in a different thread & they were cluttered by mods I long since tested as disabled & uninstalled with no change in performance. Only other thing I can think of is my mod manager's use of virtual files which no one has been able to definitively tell me whether or not that makes an actionable difference, same with having the mod manager & game on different storage drives. Any suggestions as to what I can do or what I should provide for more info is appreciated.

You and anyone having difficulties figuring this stuff out should downgrade to 1.5.97 and stay there until Bethesda calms down on the updates.  There is another already in the works that will break all the SKSE64 shit again.  It's been lingering in limbo for about 11 days now.  Not sure when it is going to finally be released, but it's going to be a brand new shitstorm that you're still not ready to handle.  Take steps to prevent Steam from updating Skyrim without your permission and keep a watch on the threads here for when it all settles down.

Man, that Skyrim downgrade sucks. At the first attempt a downgraded Skyrim stopped responsive at keyboard, at the second one it giving me a access denied to binkw64.dll message. Now I'm in no mood to try this shit again, but thanks for your answer.

Skyrim and all modding tools must be installed outside of Program Files and other protected areas of the file system. This is not optional.

 

Exclusions must be added to any antivirus app for the game folder, any folders containing modding tools, and the MO2 instance folder or Vortex staging folder. This is not optional, either.

Program files or Program files (x86)? MO has its own folder, but Steam folder with Skyrim is installed at (x86) one.

Any folder that was added by Windows itself should be avoided. This includes Program Files, Program Files (86), Desktop, Documents, Downloads, etc. Create your own folders, preferably in the root of a drive for shorter paths. After creating them, and before installing anything in them, add them to the AV app exclusions.

 

This is a YT playlist guide on modding Skyrim SE using Mod Organizer 2. It will help avoid the common early mistakes that can lead to serious issues down the line. It has a video specifically on clean install locations for Skyrim.

This is nice work.  You should put this in a spoiler in your signature.  I'm going to steal it for mine

Thanks- I just did that, but the embedded video isn't embedded any more, just appears as a link. Maybe it'll resolve itself over the next few days...

Well I guess when the SKSE64 is updated I won't be able to use the game mods. Not going to waste my time anymore with this. That's the only thing that is keeping me from playing. Thanks for everyones help on this....

Have you noticed any pattern with which animations suffer from this, or is it random and sometimes the same animations are fine?  I remember references to animation-specific alignment issues with some older animations, but I don't remember which author's it was.  This might be what you're experiencing.

Not really. It appears to happen most often with creatures, but happens with humans as well.  The farther down the false ground is, the more likely it is that my PC gets trapped on that level though.  Could be a timing issue, I guess.

Hotkeyes in Sexlab AE dont work on me, using latest updates

Whenever I assign a key, it doesnt assign it despite saying it. When I exit, the start screen starts flashing whenever I press any button

 

HELP, I asked this again.

Is there not any way for me to remap the keys to change the hotkeys!
