This Skyrim LE mod is very outdated compared to the version available for Skyrim AE / Skyrim SE. If you want to play this mod, in its fully updated state, I recommend buying Skyrim AE.
Project Proteus (“Proteus”) allows the user to make edits to weapons, armors, spells, weather, NPCs, and even the player in-game. Normally to make these changes, one would have to use a set of console commands or use the Creation Kit to make a patch or new mod. This is no longer the case, you can make edits to content in-game without ever leaving your Skyrim instance. You can edit content found in vanilla Skrim as well as content found in any Skyrim mod.
I want to just maintain one guide, so please read the Skyrim SE guide for this mod.
The only difference between the Skyrim LE and Skyrim SE editions at this point in time is that the Skyrim LE has less compatibility patches.
Upon starting the game with Proteus installed, the player will automatically have the following spells added to their spells list:
phenderix – created all content not otherwise noted below
expired6978 – created the amazing UIExtensions and RaceMenu mod which many Proteus menus rely upon to function properly
silvericed – created JContainers which is a framework Proteus uses to permanently save and load edits to armors, weapons, and spells
SKSE – adds many features to the game that make a mod like Proteus possible
SkyUILib – adds the text entry menu that many features of Proteus rely upon (these files are included in the Project Proteus mod)
