Initial public release
My personal guide (Skyrim Untold) akin to Dark Lexy's LOTD, but offering a focused, nuanced, and stylized experience. It's a lighter weight and user friendly alternative with the goal of building on and enhancing Skyrim SE. I've been working on this for over two years.
Requires the 1.5.97 SE EXE and the free AE DLC content. Will not work with the 1.6 EXE and does not support the purchasable AE CC content.
I supply the patches to resolve all conflicts, for a cohesive, compatible and stable experience. I have included a number of my own original mods that are currently available on nexus. This guide offers step by step instructions of all required downloads, installations, and settings... Overall it will be fairly easy and straight forward to setup, just time consuming with all the downloads, installations and steps. It is very important you follow these instructions and have patience. Thank you for your interest and support.
Please start by downloading the the main guide document in the file section and carefully follow the instructions step by step! Main Files: "1. Skyrim Untold Guide Documentation and Instructions" ... Don't download or install the other files yet. I'd like to do a wabbajack sooner or later, but I could really use a hand with that.
Here is an overview of the mods used in the guide if you want an idea.
