Tamriel Online is a wip mod that will let you play Skyrim with your friends. This mod aims to allow multiple people to play together, with/without the same mods, in the simplest way possible.
This is NOT an MMO mod. It is not designed for thousands of concurrent players, or to do consistency checks on people who might “cheat”. I believe that Skyrim is a wonderful game, one that would be even better with friends playing alongside, and affecting the world with you.
This mod also aims to add interaction, and interplay between games as much as possible.
If you find any bugs/glitches/problems with the mod, Please post your findings on the bug page.
Before posting a bug, please make sure that the problem isn’t covered on the FAQs.

Open the downloaded Tamriel Online Client folder, and copy the following files to the steamapps/common/Skyrim folder: the Data folder, and the contents of the “fomod” folder.

HOST PLAYER
Signup at: https://www.photonengine.com/en-US/Account/Signup
Sign in: https://www.photonengine.com/en-US/Account/SignIn
Click “Create new app” .
Set “Photon Type” to “Photon Realtime”.
Set “Name” to whatever you’d like.
Leave everything else blank, and click “create”.
That should take you back to the dashboard, if not, click here: https://www.photonengine.com/en-US/dashboard
On the dashboard, find where it says “App ID”, double click the word, and copy the text that looks something like this
“oc22b2y3-8ea4-9795-21b2-fd93b68oop57”
into notepad, or write it down.
Open steamapps/common/Skyrim/TamrielOnline.ini and find “appid=a84EXAMPLE8-e060-4f32-b30c-e87dEXAMPLEf1a63”. Replace “a84EXAMPLE8-e060-4f32-b30c-e87dEXAMPLEf1a63” with the “App ID” that you wrote down.
Launch Skyrim with SKSE
Load or Start new game.
After your character has loaded, press the ‘MINUS’ key to connect.
CLIENT PLAYER
(Connecting to host)
Open steamapps/common/Skyrim/TamrielOnline.ini and find “appid=a84EXAMPLE8-e060-4f32-b30c-e87dEXAMPLEf1a63”. Replace “a84EXAMPLE8-e060-4f32-b30c-e87dEXAMPLEf1a63” with the “App ID” of the HOST PLAYER.

*You can save while online, when you load the save (offline) the other player characters will disappear in a few seconds.
*Disconnect (press home again) before loading a new save while online, or you may crash.
None of these servers are run by me, please report if a server is down.
(if you would like your server listed here, just let me know)
One of the mods features is not working properly.
Try running SKSE as administrator, instead of running it normally.
I do not have a MINUS key.
Change the “key=0xBD” (aka MINUS) in “TamrielOnline.ini” to another key listed in “TamrielOnline.ini”
My character is not synchronizing on other computers.
Double check that your firewall is not blocking outgoing UDP traffic, and try reconnecting. Try increasing “startuptime” in “TamrielOnline.ini” to a longer time period (the value is in seconds).
Other people’s characters are not synchronized on my computer.
Double check that the other person(s) firewall is not blocking outgoing UDP traffic, and have them try reconnecting. Ensure that your server is accessible, and that incoming UDP traffic is not being blocked by your firewall.
I am getting frequent crashes, and the game is chugging.
This may be caused by your ENB. Some ENB’s enter framelimiting mode when you press “home”. To solve this, change the “key=0x24” (aka “home”) in “TamrielOnline.ini” to another key listed in “TamrielOnline.ini”
Crashes can also be cause by selecting object/actors/etc… in the console window. When selecting something for use with a console command, clear it before closing the console.
I get “failed to connect” when trying to connect to the server.
Ensure that your firewall/av is not blocking the Skyrim, SKSE, or TamrielOnline.asi. Check and make sure that there are no spaces on the line with the ip you are connecting to. To help determine the source of the issue, try connecting to a public server. If you are unable to connect to a public server, then you may want to go through the process again to ensure that everything is setup properly.
I don’t ever get any messages telling me to press “home”.
Make sure that you are running the game, as admin, through SKSE. Check that both “TamrielOnline.asi” and “ScriptDragon.dll” are not blocked (check each file’s properties for an “unblock” option). Ensure that ALL files from the zip are installed, that you have met all the requirements listed at the top of the page.
I’m having trouble connecting via port forwarding.
Try using hamachi instead. Make sure that everyone has hamachi, connect to one another through hamachi, and have everyone (except the host) use the hosts HAMACHI IP in their “TamrielOnline.ini” settings. The host can leave the ip set to “127.0.0.1”.
Duplicates of my character are appearing, and mirroring what I do.
Double check your server settings, and ensure that “testing” is set to false. If the issue persists, it is likely a known bug, which has yet to have a permanent solution. In the meantime, you can try connecting through another computer, or internet connection.
There are clones of people everywhere.
It’s a bug that occurs when people close out of skyrim without first disconnecting from the game. To get rid of clones, you can use “markfordelete” in the console. This bug is being worked on.
Other players are not appearing when I enter “xyz” building, or when I fast travel to “xyz” location.
Try reconnecting, or have the other players reconnect. This is a bug with the position synchronization, that is being worked on.
I crash when I load a save while connected.
To prevent crashing, it is best to disconnect from the server before loading a new save.
I do not get the start-up message.
[A] Make sure all of the Tamriel Online files are unblocked, and make sure you have Microsoft Visual c++ 2015
