I have problems with getting mods to work with Skyrim. I have done the following:
- Installed Steam at
C:\My docs\Apps\Gmz\Steam
(that is to say, not Program Files) - Got Skyrim Special Edition as a gift on Steam. Installed it.
- Installed Skyrim Script Extender for Skyrim SE
- Installed Nexus Mod Manager
- Installed mod/plugin SkyUI (and also others) and activated it/them
- Starting the game through
skse64_loader.exe
My problem is that the game does not load. When I click skse64_loader.exe
to run it, it does not run. When I disable the mods/plugins in NMM, the game launches as usual. I really don't get what's wrong. I have tried re-installing everything 100 times now. No difference.
Thanks!

This is an extremely common issue. It means that one or more of your mods is malfunctioning, usually because of a conflict between two mods. This is why the order of how your mods load in Skyrim is important, as well.
Example:
Mod A adds NPCs, and homes them at Pinewatch. It mods Pinewatch in a way that makes sense for the mod.
Mod B replaces Pinewatch with a 12 story wizard tower. It appears lower in the load order.
Skyrim then loads A, and B, and when the assets for mod A are replaced by those from B during startup, the game crashes.
That's a really rudimentary explanation and a situation that doesn't always cause a crash, but you get the idea. Other things that can cause this include trying to load an Oldrim mod into Skyrim Special Edition, major game overhaul mods conflicting, or even a patch to Skyrim that breaks certain things.
To prevent this, I follow the following steps:
When it's already happened and I'm crashing on boot or on entry to an area, I do the following.
