Plugin List

Use the Quick Auto Clean shortcut to clean the following plugins one by one:

Launch xEdit from MO2 and load all plugins. You can quickly find the plugins to edit below using the search filter bar at the bottom of the left side of the xEdit window, and/or also sort plugins by name.

LOOT

Copy the userlist.yaml from the Skyrim Unification Project - Conflict Resolution[MOVE to LOOT]\ folder to (your user)\AppData\Local\LOOT\games\Skyrim Special Edition.

Sort your mods with the LOOT executable shortcut from MO2.

Dynamic Interface Patcher

Add mods/Dynamic Interface Patcher/DIP/DIP.exe as an executable in MO2 and run it.

It should automatically detect the game virtual data folder and the path to the DDDM RaceMenu patch in the data folder. If not, select them.

Click Patch. When the popup appears, click Close DIP.

You now have interface/racemenu/bottombar.swf, buttonart.swf, and interface/racesex_menu.swf in Overwrite. You can leave them there or put them in a new mod.

EasyNPC

For this step, enable all mods in NPC - Retextures, and place the esps somewhere above Consistency Patches.

Launch EasyNPC from MO2. Click OK to confirm the load order.

Once all plugins have loaded and the Profile window appears, click the open folder icon at the far right. Select the EasyNPC txt file from the Skyrim Unification Project - Conflict Resolution folder. There will not be a visual confirmation, but the profile will be loaded.

Click Build at the top of the window. Some warnings (npc conflict, suspicious masters) are expected due to the way the mods are organized. Click the large Build button at right.

Allow the build process to complete. Close EasyNPC, refresh MO2, and enable the new mod. Completely disable all mods in NPC - Retextures other than Modpocalypse - Resources, RS Children/Realistic RS Children, RS Children/RRSC patches, and Project ja-Kha’jay and associated direct patches.

If using Project Arch, also disable RTDocks - High Poly Head.esp.

Edit the NPC Appearances Merged.esp file in xEdit and set the header version to 1.71.

Synthesis

Run Synthesis (download the required dependencies if you do not have them already installed. Synthesis will tell you if do not have them installed)

Select ‘Git Repository’ from the top left toolbar (middle button). Scroll down to Experience Patcher and click the + button. The patcher will be added to the list, will say ‘Compiling’ on the right side which should turn to ‘Ready’.

If the patcher shows a red dot for an error, make sure a Project is selected, and it is set to last successful run.

Do the same for:

Khajiitearsshow (if you choose)
NoDragonLods
HighPolyHead-RaceMenuPatcher
HighPolyHeadVampireFix
MortalEnemies
SynSetESL

Select the icon on the bottom left to run the patchers

Exit out of Synthesis after the patchers complete.

Create a new mod from the Overwrite and name it Synthesis - Output.
(It should contain Synthesis.esp and SKSE/Plugins/Experience.)

Bodyslide

Run Bodyslide from MO2. You may have to select the Skyrim Special Edition directory manually (Stock Game/Data).

Towards the top right corner, click on the magnifying glass and select ‘Choose groups…’

Check the following groups:

 3BA
 3BA HDT GEMLING
 3BBB
 AVEOutfits-CBBE
 CBBE 3BA Creation Club (Im Physics)
 CBBE 3BA HDT Amulets
 CBBE 3BA LOTD (if using Adventures)
 CBBE 3BA Vanilla (ImPhysics)
 CBBE 3BA WACCF+ACE (ImPhysics)
 CBBE 3BA Wyrmstooth
 Hands Redone
 Hands Redone - Clothes
 [3BA] Volkihar Knight Armor
 Unassigned

Under ‘Outfit/Body’ select “CBBE 3BBB Amazing NeverNude”.

Under “Preset” select - Zeroed Sliders -.

In the bottom left corner check ‘Build Morphs’ and make sure meshes\actors\character\character assets\femalebody_0.nif is checked.

Control+Click ‘Batch Build…’

!!! IMPORTANT !!! If you do not hold Control, you will overwrite all of your installed mods with the generated outfits.

In the next window, right click and Select All. Disable all “HIMBO” sets. You can also disable any CC sets you do not own. (default: Golden Saints and Dark Seducers)

Click Build. In the folder selection popup, select the MO2 overwrite folder.

In the next popup, select Hands Redone F for each option where it appears. For each additional option, select Physics, Im Physics (Immersive Physics) or No Physics as you prefer.
Select CBBB 3BBB Amazing NeverNude for the body set (typically towards the top). If other options appear, prioritize any option that states 3BA in the name.
Also prioritize hdt_amuF (gem where present), AVE, and WACCF.

Close out of Bodyslide and create a new mod with the newly created body meshes with the name Bodyslide Output - Female.

Nemesis

Navigate to mods\Project New Reign - Nemesis\Nemesis_Engine, right-click Nemesis Unlimited Behavior Engine.exe, click Properties. Under the Compatibility tab, select Run this program in compatibility mode for -> Windows 7.

Create a new mod in Mod Organizer named Nemesis - Output

Open up the Executables within Mod Organizer 2 and select Nemesis

Create a new empty mod named Nemesis - Output.

Select ‘Nemesis - Output’ for ‘Create files in mod instead of overwrite (*)'

Select Ok and exit the menu

Run Nemesis

Select: ‘centurionOAR (sdsd)’, ‘Payload Interpreter’, ‘GP Offset Movement Animation’, ‘Ice skating fixed for real’, ‘Some Creature Behavior Bug Fixes’, ‘Slow sprint bug fix’, ‘True Directional Movement - Headtracking’, ‘TK Dodge RE / Ultimate Combat’, ‘Animation Teleport Bug Fix’.

Click ‘Update Engine’

After the ‘Update Engine’ finishes, click ‘Launch Nemesis Behavior Engine’

Note: If an error occurs after launching ‘Launch Nemesis Behavior Engine’ about missing hkx files, simply ‘Update Engine’ and ‘Launch Nemesis Behavior Engine’ again without closing Nemesis.

When the log window says ‘Behavior generation complete.’, close Nemesis.

xLODGEN

Activate SSE-Terrain-Tamriel-Extend.esm and load it as the last ESM.

Run xLODGEN from the executable dropdown menu in Mod Organizer 2.

Right-click in the Worldspace window and Select All.

Check only Terrain LOD. (uncheck others)

For the dropdown box that says LOD4, enter the settings below for LOD4, LOD8, LOD16, and LOD32.

Select Generate

When xLODGEN finishes generating deactivate SSE-Terrain-Tamriel-Extend.esm.

Move SSE_LODGEN folder to your MO2’s mod folder and activate it as a mod.

If you are using Flat World Map Framework, delete meshes/terrain/tamriel/tamriel.32.0.0.btr.

Grass Cache (Optional)

Note: Only do this step if you plan to enable Grass LOD. The grass cache may take up several GB on your drive.

Download the script here: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/55152 and place it into your xEdit scripts folder.

Load your entire LO in xEdit and rightclick any mod, Apply Script, “List worldspaces with grass”, OK.

When the script finishes, copy the output string and edit your No Grass In Objects config.txt via Windows:

OnlyPregenerateWorldSpaces = "<output string>"
UseGrassCache = True
OverwriteGrassDistance = 12000
OverwriteGrassFadeRange = 8000
OnlyLoadFromCache = True
DynDOLODGrassMode = 1

Select the Utilities dropdown in MO2 and choose PreCache Grass. Click Yes on the popup. Skyrim will run at a loading screen; it may crash and restart several times. Don’t close the popup; you can open console and see its worldspace progress. If it repeatedly immediately crashes after launching, abort the process and check for Net Script Framework crash logs, and correct whatever error is causing the crash. In this case, it will restart from the beginning.

If you want to increase the speed it generates the cache, you can disable Septentronial Landscapes (remember to reenable it after this step!) and disable ENB with Shift-Enter each time the game starts. Disabling other texture mods may have diminishing returns, as 4K landscape is present in every cell but other objects are much less frequent individually.

Once the process completes, move the overwrite/grass/ to a new Grass Cache mod folder and refresh MO2.

DynDOLOD

Note: Some AMD users experience a very slow run of DynDOLOD or Texgen if Adrenalin is installed. If your DynDOLOD seems to hang for a very long time between operations (eg more than 1 hour total for the guide content) then try a driver-only install.

IMPORTANT: If you disabled texture mods for Grass Cache, turn them back on!

Launch Texgen from Mod Organizer 2, and configure it as shown:

Additionally, if you are generating Grass LOD, check the Grass box. (Direct 186, Ambient 11)

Click Start. When the log file says complete, choose “Zip and Exit”, and then install the zip file as a mod in MO2.

Open your DynDOLOD install directory, and edit \Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\DynDOLOD_SSE.ini. Set Wizard=0.

Launch DynDOLOD, right click in worldspaces and select all, click ‘High’ button at right, configure remaining checkboxes as seen below.

Additionally, if you are generating Grass LOD, check that box.

IMPORTANT: Some mods provide seasons inis, so the Seasons box may be checked automatically. Uncheck this box. This list does not support Seasons.

Click start.

After it completes, choose “Save and Zip and Exit”, then install the zip as a mod in MO2.
