Current classic build 1.7.3: install via steam - installer - 7z archive (readme, whatsnew)

Current SE build 2.0.19 (runtime 1.5.97): 7z archive

Current VR build 2.0.12 (runtime 1.4.15): 7z archive

Having trouble extracting the archive? Install via Steam, use the installer, or download 7-zip. DO NOT USE ANYTHING FROM THE WINDOWS APP STORE.

If you are having trouble with the installation instructions, please watch this video.

Compatibility:

SKSE will support the latest version of Skyrim available on Steam, and only this version (currently 1.9.32 with any other numbers following). It is extremely unlikely that any future non-SE Skyrim updates will be released.

SKSE cannot support any potential Windows Store release of Skyrim. Windows Store applications are locked down similarly to consoles and do not allow the APIs necessary for script extenders to work.

Contact the SKSE Team

Having crashes on startup after a game patch? Remove the files from Data/SKSE/Plugins and try again. Mods using plugins probably need to be updated.

Before contacting us, make sure that your game launches properly without SKSE first. Also, attach skse.log, skse_loader.log, and skse_steam_loader.log (found in My Documents/My Games/Skyrim/SKSE/) to any support requests.
