Installation

Spoiler:  
Show

Use a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager if you have one. Manual installation is the same as for every mod: Drag and drop into your Skyrim directory, replacing the “Data” folder.

If you install manually, enable the mod by launching Skyrim via Steam, going to “Data Files” and checking the box next to Burning Skies.esp. However, always launch this mod using the SKSE Loader!

If you can’t access one of these methods, e.g. because Skyrim is running under Linux via wine, you would have to manually edit your plugins.txt
- Win 7: C:UsersAppDataLocalSkyrimplugin.txt
- XP: C:Documents and SettingsLocal SettingsApplicationsPlugin.txt
- Linux: /home//.wine/dosdevices/C:/users//AppData/Local/Skyrim/plugin.txt
(if running Skyrim with Wine compatibility to Win7 or else if the compatibility settings are for Win XP change to Win 7 or use the Win XP path)

Add a new line: Burning Skies.esp

You must make a clean save.
Clean save instructions:

1. Load your save, transform back into normal form if you haven’t and wait a few seconds to let the scripts run to completion.
2. If you have the MCM menu, press "Uninstall" under the "Settings" page.
If you don't, open the console (~ key) and type,

(for version 3.1.0 onwards)
----------------stopquest FDR

(for version 3.0.2 and below)
----------------stopquest blubquestinstalldragonmod

3. Wait a few minutes, then save your game in a NEW slot. Don’t overwrite an existing save.
4. Exit the game and deactivate the .esp file.
5. Return to that new save and let your game idle for a couple minutes.
6. Make another save in a new slot.
7. Delete the .esp and .bsa file, preferably using your mod manager to uninstall.


If you have done manual installation -
---------Go to "Sounds > Voice" and delete the folder named "Burning Skies.esp," this is where the shout voices are stored.
AND IF you're uninstalling version 3.0.2 -
---------Go to "Data > Scripts" folder and remove

----------------blubdragonmodoptionsmenu.pex
----------------blubdragonspellgeneralcastscript.pex
----------------blubrapidfirespellscript.pex
----------------blubscriptbecomedragonhuman.pex
----------------blubscriptbedragonscript.pex
----------------blubscriptflying.pex
----------------blubscriptinstalldragonmodscript.pex

At this point you've uninstalled Burning Skies. You can now use the newest update, and please use the newest save from there.
