While playing with a large modpack I always have the same problem, I use really strange Keybinds so half of them dont work and cant be bind so I created a litle script that fixes that ... maybe it will help somebody else so i decided to share it.

I'm not going to stay up all night I promise.

Beyond Skyrim needs volunteers of all kinds.

Think you have what it takes visit our website at https://beyondskyrim.org/volunteer to send in an application form!

While we need anyone we can get we especially need Dungeon Designers and QA testers.

I hope to see you in the project.

If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Hey — fellow modder here. I build software for a living, and in my own modding I keep hitting the same wall: the creative part is the fun part, but everything around it — wrestling the toolchain, re-figuring out my own setup every time I come back to a project, the publish-and-update grind — quietly eats the hours.

I'm building something to make that part hurt less, for mods on any game (not one scene), and before I build the wrong thing, I'd rather hear from people who actually ship mods — whatever you make, however big or small.

If you've got ~5 minutes:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScKEu5gz9o4vqTIPhEg7UqZ1NqDr87pFxCIOx_bJjC7EGuvuA/viewform?usp=header — every question is skippable, no sales pitch, no mailing list.

What you get back: I'll post a summary of what I learn right here in this thread, so it's not a one-way extraction. If your answers shape what I build (they usually do), happy to credit you as a design partner and get you early access.

(Mods — thanks for letting me post; happy to move or remove it if I've got the wrong channel.)

And if you know other creators with strong opinions on this, pass it along. Cheers 🙏

I've been trying to install skse and every time i attempt to launch from the mod organizer it, it hits me with a error message telling me

please help...

I'm encountering an incredibly annoying bug in the CK, and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way to fix it.

So I'm making some interior cells and moving meshes around all the time. Then, randomly, the movement gizmo disappears. I can't get it back by pressing the hotkey, but when I press it I can only move the selected mesh in 1 horizontal direction. If I press it again, I can move it any way horizontally, but not up or down. And this is only by dragging the mesh itsself, there are no arrows. I can still get the rotation and scaling gizmos without issue.

The only way I've found of fixing it is just closing and reopening the CK entirely. But since it takes so long to load my esp it's super annoying to have to do so. I've encountered this bug once in a while for years, but recently it's been happening more. Three times in the last hour, and it's driving me insane.

Can anyone help?

just installed Vanilla PBR running on community shaders and the landscape texture distortion is crazy. I already ran PGPatcher. Out of ideas on a fix.

Hello All,

I have an idea floating around in my head and was wondering if it would be feasible to me made into a mod.

In many of the playthoughs of Skyrim, ive always noticed how empty the domestic side of lifebis in the Dragonborn's house. No mater the spouse, no matter the child, no matter the housecarl... no one really interacts with one another, and the few interations with the player are lacking.

My idea is how hard would it be to make a series of interactions, (such as the spouse reading telling bedtime stories to the children, the housecarl sparing with the kids, the kids trying to hide a broken vase, the spouse taking care of a sick child, etc) and script them to randomly occur upon entering the home/homestead? I know animations, rigging, and dialogue would have to be written, and I have no experience in doing that.

Some examples would be a nordic spouse telling the children stories from a Elder Scrolls version of the Poetic Eddas (seeing as how the nordic pantheon is loosely based on its real world equivalent) If the spouse is Redguard or Kahjiit, it could be based on arabic tales, and so on. Or If the cultures of the Spouse and Housecarl are different, they could duscuss the differences of their culture.

I think it would be a great way to explore some of the lore that isnt directly told to the player, and would greatly increase the immersion into the domestic side of the playthrough.

I just came back to Skyrim after a while but when I opened my normal Skyrim MO2 instance, it now says it's managing a different game (Fallout 4). All the mods are still there but I can't do anything because it now thinks it's managing Fallout 4. I was modding Fallout 4 a while back but I have no idea how this happened. Does anyone know how to change the managed game back to Skyrim? When I go to settings -> paths and open the "managed game" path it's only looking for the Fallout 4 .exe, I can't change it to Skyrim. Thanks:)!

SOLUTION: Hey thank you very much to those who helped me. This is the only thing that worked for me, I tried quite literally everything else.

I uninstalled Fallout 4. If you don't want to uninstall the game that your instance is incorrectly linked to then I suggest hiding that game's folder location (Fallout 4 for me in this instance). When you reopen Mo2 it will give you an error saying the game for that instance is not detected and will ask you to select the game you want to manage for, this is where you select the game you actually want it to manage for (hoooray!!). This seems to be a very niche issue and of the few posts I've seen about it the responses are unhelpful or not descriptive enough. I hope this helps. Feel free to message me if you're having issues with this.

Hello all, Im asking for some guidence.

Ive had this idea brewing in my head for some time now. to basically expand upon the concept of doing something like Capital Whiterun Expansion. But changing some things up a bit.

I noticed that the in game dialogue dosent seem to match the in-game terrain. I wanted to create zones that reflected it.

•Plains District: Outside the cities main walls hold the farms, commoners, laborers, and poor.

•Wind District: holds the Craftsmen, shops and markets. •Cloud District: holds the Elite and luxury class amenities (Wealthy Land Owners and Thanes).

•Dragonsreach: sets atop the Cloud district. holding all the governing class.

My Idea is to expand each zone to the highlighted areas and put them in their own cell. Thus allowing me to add more structures and people and not stress out the engine too much.

I have no experience with the creation kit, so i was wondering if there was a way to "cut and paste" all of whiterun into Blender, where i can map out these new districts, chop up existing ones, and terraform to my hearts content without potentially screwing things up in Skyrim's actual game files. Then once Im done, I can replace the cells and LODS with the creation kit.

Hi! I just want to share the Resources library I've been working on for the last year or so with more modders!

Here it is! Have fun, and always remember to credit the ones involved with your project!! (Directly or not)

Hello! This is mostly for me so I can come back to it, but I wanted to post this here as well so others can come across it and use this modlist if they'd like. It is centered around a paladin player. Primarily a Vigilant of Stendarr. It introduces the Vicn quadrology as of 12/24/2025, and is an offshoot of the "Skyrim Modding Essentials" Wabbajack playlist. This is not perfect, but I have only crashed about 3 times over my entire 130 hour playthrough.

It is stable and my most memorable and fun playthrough I've had!
