~ FAQ ~
What versions of Skyrim does it support?
LE, SE, AE, VR
Does it support MCM menus which require you to "Exit the MCM to continue"?

Does it support MCMs where the pages don't all show up until you "Install" or "Activate" the mod?
Yes
Does this conflict with any other mods?
Thus far, we have determined this conflicts with:
- Ye Olde MCM

These will not be compatible until patches are developed.
I can't find my McmRecorder folder with the generated files
If you use Mod Organizer 2, it's in your Overwrite directory. Go to
Settings and then the Paths tab and you'll see the path to your
Overwrite folder. It should contain your McmRecorder directory.
Can I share my recordings with others?
Yeah, for sure!
You can just put your McmRecorder folder into a .zip file. That's it! You can release it on NexusMods if you
like or just share it with friends. Folks can install it using any mod
manager and it'll show up as an available recording in the MCM Recorder
mod configuration menu.
You can even add your own name and give your recording a version number! Just edit the McmRecorder\[My Recording].json file. Be sure to distribute this file along with the McmRecorder\[My Recording] directory containing all of the .json files describing the MCM steps.
Why can you run recordings using Keyboard Shortcuts and VR Gestures?
Sometimes it could be useful to toggle different MCM options quickly, e.g. via
keyboard shortcuts. This was a request from users and it can actually be
really useful!
~ Advanced ~
The recorder puts files into folders inside of Data\McmRecorder
The files are intentionally very easy to read and edit by hand.
Simply open them up in any text editor and you will see something like this:
If you cannot guess, this instructs MCM Recorder to load the "Trained
Skills" page of the "Apprentice" MCM menu and toggle the "Light Armor"
checkbox to "on" (if it's not already on)
If you want to learn the format of these files, I recommend you simply make a
recording and then view the files that are generated.
Auto-Run Recordings
Do you want to automatically run a recording for new games that you start? (Very useful for distributed modlists!)
Open your main recording file. It can be found at Data\McmRecorder\[Your Recording].json
In the file, update "autorun": "false" to "autorun": "true". Now whenever Skyrim starts, this recording will automatically run.
Note: multiple recordings can be configured to be autorun
~ Modlist Customization ~
There are a few things MCM Recorder provides to better support modlist authors:
These can all be configured in the recording definition file, e.g. Data\McmRecorder\[Your Recording].json
Keep requesting features to make MCM Recorder one of the best mods available for creating modlists!
That's it, y'all
Enjoy <3

Note: multiple recordings can be configured to be autorun
~ Modlist Customization ~
There are a few things MCM Recorder provides to better support modlist authors:
- Autorun MCM Recordings (which run right after RaceMenu closes)
- Show a custom popup message when the recording begins playing
- Show a custom popup message when the recording completes playing
These can all be configured in the recording definition file, e.g. Data\McmRecorder\[Your Recording].json
{
"author": "Mrowr Purr",
"name": "Purrfectly Awesome Modlist",
"version": "4.2.0",
"autorun": "true",
"welcome": "Welcome to my Purrfect Modlist!\nThis is on a newline",
"complete": "Purrfect mod configuration complete! You are now ready for adventure!"
}
