I'm currently in the process of making this guide but I figured I'd go head and post what I've got so far. I'll gladly accept any tips or knowledge on how I could make this better for everyone. This list will be my complete load order when I'm done. With links and instructions on which versions to choose. Downgraded Skyrim Guide And Working Load Order Skyrim Version 1.6.640.0 Starter Guide: Install Skyrim Run Skyrim Download CC Content Close Skyrim Downgrade Skyrim to 1.6.640.0 (Paste steam://open/console into your web browser) Type These into the Console that pops up in Steam, one at a time.

Run Loot, Sort Plugins, Update Masterlist, Close Loot Run Auto Clean, Double Click the Plugins Listed, one at a time, closing and reopening Auto Clean after each. Mods to Clean: Update Dawnguard Hearthfires Dragonborn CC-Fish CC-Zombies CC-RuinsEdge CC-Goldbrand CC-PuzzleDungeon CC-hStead CC-NorJewel CC-Pets CC-HaseDoki CC-ve CC-Crosselv CC-Umbra CC-BowofShadows CC-AdvoBGobs CC-Daedric CC-Dragonplate CC-Dwarven CC-ArmsOfChaos CC-NetchLeather CC-Splkntset CC-DwarvenMail CC-Dragonscale CC-DaedricMail CC-Stalhrim CC-BeaFarmer CC-NecroHouse CC-Redguard CC-Hall CC-Altar Go into your Skyrim/Data Folder, Copy ALL Cleaned ESP’s and Paste them in a Backup Now Install These Mods in Order. After Bug Fixes, the choices are yours. But you will want these SKSE Plugins and Bug Fixes. I will continue the Load Order based on my LO, so you can get an idea of not only good mods, some adult mods, but also where they go. I’m no expert, but this worked for me. I’d love to get feedback in the comments if you have a better way of doing things. 1. SKSE Plugins (Address Library, Papyrus Extender, JContainers, Base Object Swapper) Address Library for SKSE Plugins PapyrusUtil - Scripting Utility Functions (Get Version 4.4) Papyrus Extender Console Util Console Commands Extender More Informative Console Scaleform Translation PP ENB Helper ENB Helper Plus ENB Input Disabler Better Jumping JContainers (Get Version 4.2.3) FileAccess Interface for Skyrim Scripts - FISSES Fuz Ro D'oh (Get Version 2.2) Base Object Swapper Custom Skills Framework Time Format Changer dTry's Key Utils (Get Old Files SE Version) Spell Perk Item Distributor Dynamic Key Action Framework NG *FormList Manipulator (Requires MergeMapper, But I don’t have it [I’m working on it]) Watch THIS video and follow the instructions to install the DLSS/FSR2/XESS Upscaler (These are currently not working for me. I suggest skipping them unless you want to try to figure it out for yourself) Upscaler Base Plugin Skyrim Upscaler 2. Bug Fixes and Tweaks (Engine Fixes, MFG Fix, USSEP) SSE Engine Fixes Bug Fixes SSE Fixes (DO NOT download DLL Plugin Loader. SSE Engine Fixes has it’s own loader) SSE Display Tweaks (Also grab the High Performance Config if you can handle it) Mfg Fix (Download Main File, then the optional MCM) Dead Body Cleanup Script Crash Fix Chillwind Depths CTD Fix Dragon Mounds CTD Fix Scrambled Bugs Survival Mode Prompt Removed Recursion Fix (Choose the Bottom-Most Recursion FPS Fix) Powerofthree's Tweaks Papyrus Tweaks NG Disable Auto Vanity Mode NPC Stuck in Bleedout fix Stuck on Screen Load Door Prompt Fix Southfringe Sanctum Crash Fix Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch Unofficial Skyrim Creation Club Content Patch 3. Alternate Start Skyrim Unbound Reborn (You will need to reinstall this after/if you install Guard Dialogue Overhaul, Relationship Dialogue Overhaul, Cutting Room Floor, Book Covers, Audio Overhaul, Sofia, Timing is Everything, Trade and Barter, WACCF as they need patches from the installer) At this point, delete the SKSE Folder in your Overwrite. It crashes the game for some reason. Now right click your Overwrite tab and Create New Mod for the SSEedit Folder. 4. HUD and UI (SkyUI, QuickLoot, iEquip, TrueHud) Sky UI MCM Helper (Choose MCM Helper SE (1.6.659) SkyHUD UI Extensions Infinity UI Add Item Menu MORE COMING SOON. I'm literally typing it up on another tab.
