If your landscape texture loads into SSE and looks like it's wet when it's not supposed to be, you found one that needs to be fixed.Īnimation files for 32 bit will not work out of the box. Some landscape textures will need to be fixed manually. SSE Nif Optimizer should be able to detect these issues with the 'Scan Textures' option. This seems to be most common for folks using Windows 7. If this is not done, some installations of DirectX 11 will not be able to process it and SSE will crash. Textures originally saved in either the A1R5G5B5 format or the B5G6R5 format must be resaved in A8R8G8B8, R8G8B8, or an equivalent compressed format like DXT5 or DXT1.

If you have assets using these, they need to be converted into proper DDS files. SSE seems to handle those flags differently and plenty of vanilla stuff had to have this done as well. If you some across one of your files that has translucent parts that shouldn't, this is probably why.

If you have any files that use decal flags (the SLSF1_Decal or SLSF1_Dynamic_Decal flags) these flags may need to be removed. Grab Nif Optimizer and follow its instructions to convert your files. Unpack your files to a temporary location somewhere. This step should be done before trying to load your mod into the CK as well since the same problems will occur with the CK - it'll either hang or crash. The game will either hang or crash at the opening menu. If your mod uses a BSA file (and pretty much any decent one ought to be if it has assets to provide), you can't simply use that file with SSE. If you have meshes, you'll need a copy of the SSE Nif Optimizer program. You'll need to have access to the current SSE CK and a copy of 圎dit 4.0.1 or higher at minimum. It also assumes a certain level of familiarity with the packaging of files relating to the mod.

This guide is intended for mod authors to use as this process is not suited for end users to follow due to the details that need to be addressed to do the work properly. The following rough outline of the process should be enough to guide you through porting your mod over to SSE. They must be properly converted over so that they will function correctly in SSE and not lead to save corruption or CTDs. Due to differences between LE and SE, they can't simply be dropped in. Many fine mods have been created for the Skyrim Legendary Edition (aka Classic) over the years and not all of them have been brought over to the Special Edition.
