SKSE Launch Patch
Tiny program. Execute it once to enable running Skyrim+SKSE from any shortcut, from Steam client, from Skyrim Launcher or even by starting TESV.exe directly.
Works with ANY SKYRIM/SKSE VERSION.
HOW TO USE IT
1. Make sure you have SKSE installed.
2. Install my patch (by running it, double-clicking it’s EXE file).
WHAT IT DOES
This patch allows you to run Skyrim+SKSE:
– from your regular Desktop shortcut
– from Skyrim Launcher
– from Steam client
– or even starting TESV.exe directly
– SKSE-made shortcut will work as well 🙂
HOW IT WORKS
When you run this patch:
– it extracts its own version of TESV.exe, which not only starts SKSE, but also hides its ugly command line window
– right before extracting its own file, renames official TESV.exe to TESV_original.exe
– it edits or creates from scratch an INI file (SKSE.ini), which tells SKSE to work on TESV_original.exe instead of TESV.exe
WHY IT’S SO AWESOME
1. Because this patch will work with any version of SKSE, including those yet to come
2. Because it doesn’t conflict with mods, that use their own SKSE.ini file, since it edits the file, instead of placing a new one
3. In case of new Skyrim version you only have to run the patch again
4. If you overwrite SKSE.ini with some mods or new SKSE version, executing patch again will solve the problem
5. Although this patch is written in English, it will work with any language version of the game
CHANGELOG
v1.1 – Added 1 check to make everything even more idiot-proof.
