Omg thank you so much I just started trying this out after I got a nice enough laptop(One day when I can imma get a high spec pc) but you're an amazing help

[@NapLegends]

my game version is 1.9.32.0, the only available option is for Current Anniversary Edition build 2.2.6 (game version 1.6.1170): So what do i do?

This man knows how a tutorial is supposed to work - guiding the audience through a 'click-by-click' basis, skipping or glossing over nothing, and best of all - he assumes we are all clueless about what we're doing, which 99.99% of us are! This channel is one of the most underrated on KZbin and has saved my bacon so much - THANK YOU MICHAEL!

[@nxva.3453]

So real. These videos usually gloss over a ton of stuff they expect you to know but like if I knew then I wouldn't be here lol.

[@serpentblancx2320]

clear list, no annoying extra talking in between, clear voice... i never understood a video explanation better! thank you so much :)

[@NickWayXIII]

I may not need it but I know someone out there does and I couldn't think of anyone better to teach them and lead them into the wonders of modding than GamerPoets. Love ya man, glad you're still going and looking better than ever!

[@gamerpoets]

Good to see ya, man :)

[@NickWayXIII]

@@gamerpoets Always! And you too Poets, hope your day is well! I actually started modding Skyrim again last night and I'm already at 300+ mods.

[@GrayEmme]

@@gamerpoetshey can you please make a video on SKSE engine fixes. I haven’t been able to get mine to work cuz I just can’t get engine fixes to work!

[@justinfowler5761]

I will never understand why you dont have more. When I first got into modding Skyrim, I wastched so many of your videos. In your videos everything is so clearly explained. You don't rush through things or assume everyone has the same knowledge. Thank You for your work.

[@JonahUniverse]

Every couple of years I decide to mod a Bethesda game, and every time I don't even have to try to remember your channel name. You've been my reliable go-to for so many years. Thanks for sticking with it, and even improving the production quality of these guides throughout all this time. I just want you to know you're appreciated.

[@alliminoobersvods9660]

You have no idea how crazy I was going, I had just built a new computer so I had to redownload all the mods and such, and nothing worked when I opened with skse, and turns out, the problem was that I had to copy the contents from the zipped files directly and NOT unzip the file. I had entirely forgotten that I was supposed to do that, so this helped me so much. Also, the fact that you are very clear and to the points with the steps helped a lot so future new modders will definitely love this!

[@saurovaki]

Glad to see you're uploading more often now 👊

[@gamerpoets]

Its good to be seen = )

[@danielb1828]

FINALLY!!!! I have been watching videos for days trying to get SKSE to work... Thank you so very very much sir. This video alone I sub and liked

[@gamerpoets]

Happy it helped:)

[@Gaarafan007]

Every time I want to mod and play Skyrim again, your tutorials help me set everything up again and remind me of how things work or teach me something new. These new videos are especially helpful as it seems much has changed in the year or so since I last played.

[@andersonguimaraesmaia3957]

You are a life saver, my friend. I'm just starting using MO2 and I don't know what I would do without you

[@surudoiken]

I gave up weeks ago because of crashes, errors and hours wasted with no results. But then I saw your videos about Skyrim and Skyrim modding, I watched them and started to playing Skyrim again. All your steps was working and kept working. All my errors, crashes are gone. Thank you for that, man. Really. Skyrim was my favorite game and I could not play it and you helped me. Especially your videos are relaxing in general and not confusing about giving informations. I hope your efforts will pay off and you will get where you want. Live happily, my friend.

[@BubbaNak]

literally my favorite method of a walkthrough. quick, to the point, and clear. You rock man!

[@DefamedDevil]

I was struggling SO hard to get this to work. Thank you so much

[@medivhal]

Thank you for the most clear, concise, informative, and easy to follow SKSE guide I've seen thus far. Liked and subscribed for this alone. I wish your channel nothing but prosperity.

[@Russell-k2e]

This is an absolute masterclass of the tutorial-ken technique. I wish I had this video 30 years ago.

[@alexmercer2220]

You sir have just helped a new mod user get in the scene and understand it and for that I give you a subscriber

[@ScorchMalicious]

I can't tell what's better...the voice or the helpful guide! Thanks man 😎

[@Lizzy6851]

Thank you so much, tbh i was on the verge of tears trying to figure this out and you helped so much

[@gamerpoets]

You got this :)

[@holymosey2556]

i don't know how long i've been subbed to you but it feels like it's been years. i will say this, your videos are never convoluted and so simple and that is what makes them so great. one person can take the knowledge you provide and go far in their modding journey, so thank you for that, my man 🤙

[@zhongli647]

Hi gamerpoets, it's been 2 years of my modding journey and you were the one who helped me getting started. Now I've got some cool combat mods, even heavily modded the graphic and got like 400 modlist and i really enjoy my gaming experience in skyrim. Now skyrim for me is like modding the game to my liking and play new content dlc from modders. It's been quite a journey from learning that MO2 is just better performance than vortex, installing SKSE, and I still remember when i was learning FNIS from you and now we got pandora engine behavior. It was quite a journey learning with you, thank you really!

[@gamerpoets]

You are very welcome. Glad that I was able to help along the way :) enjoy

[@Son-Son01]

I've been playing some of the more popular modlists on WabbaJack and wanted to make my own modlist. Glad I found this channel! Great narrative voice makes it easy to interpret what you're teaching!

[@Gravytrain894]

My friend. I just wanted to say I appreciate you for such a simple tutorial on how to install and verify if SKSE works with the current Skyrim. I was having such a hard time with it and Reddit really didnt help me with it (when it usually never fails). Again thank you and did I say I fucking love you? Because I do.

[@djembd.premel2440]

Damn what a soothing voice ! And you couldn't make it any clearer. Thanks a lot man

[@MonolithTMA]

Another clear and concise video. You're killing it, bro!

[@gamerpoets]

[@NathanJohnson-e1u]

My goodness this guys knows how to do a step-by-step guide, my guy to got my problem fixed on the first try. Where have you been all this time???

[@Nick-tl7ts]

I'm not even modding right now but watching just for how pleasant your videos are❤

[@gamerpoets]

Thank you for the support:)

[@Darkrunn]

Absolutely awesome, professional-grade tutorial. This channel makes the arduous task of getting back into Skyrim every other year or so far less daunting. 😅

[@Faultyist]

So glad to see that you are keeping your videos up to date. You are the best......and keep walking those miles, a healthy body keeps a healthy mind.....and we modders need you....

[@gamerpoets]

Thanks for the kind comment = ) Appreciate ya

[@NorthMiPatriot]

Thank you for making these videos. I am new to modding and these have great. Please keep them coming.

[@DragonsValkyrie]

when I first modded skyrim almost 2 years ago you were the man the guided me thro how to install stuff and now I am getting that skyrim ich again and of course the mad man has an up to date SKSE install for Vortex, nice one my dude hope you have a great day :)

all tutorials i have seen were all confusing yours was perfect thanks man

[@HadesTheSecondGR]

I always use this video on how to do it (I have the brain fish of a memory so i forget easliy) and it always helps this man's a legend

[@Sheodinis]

Thanks for a quick and concise tutorial! While I didn't need the instructions on how to install SKSE myself. It's always good to have a refresher :). I did not know about creating an ini for it, so thanks for that. There is always something to takeaway from your videos! Great Work as usual Michael!

[@gamerpoets]

I appreciate ya = )

[@erebosthemogoreg]

Man. No matter what I've been doing for SKSE for Vortex or MO2 and following numerous tutorials, it never seems to work for me. But I'm here watching this tutorial and reattempting. I have 1.6.1170.0 skyrim special edition steam version. And every time I run the game, skse is not detected. HOWEVER this is very likely my error considering I am mentally challenged. My disorders can make it difficult for me to do things correctly which is frustrating to me at times, but I don't give up, I try to do my best I can possible. I will just do a fresh reinstall and follow directions with your video, thank you for this anyhow. Very appreciative for anything helpful.

[@gamerpoets]

Make sure you are downloading this version "Current Anniversary Edition build 2.2.6 (game version 1.6.1170):" . Open the archive that you download. A folder will be there that says "skse64_2_02_06. Open that folder. Drag and drop everything inside that folder (Data/src/skse64_1_6_1170.dll, skse64_loader.exe) into the skyrim game folder. Once you do that MO2 and Vortex are suppose to auto detect it. Shut MO2 or Vortex down completely. Then reopen it.

[@TasonSavarn]

It's like you're a professional or something mate! Real nice work!

[@gamerpoets]

Tason! 😉 hey buddy

Along with skse, there's also BETHINI which allows you to tweak the ini file without much trouble. Everyone playing skyrim or going to play should be familiar with this magical wand called BETHINI. Great video BTW 🎉

No wacky 20 second dubstep intro or 3 minute yap sesh before you give me the information I need to finish my 5 minute modding adventure that's lasted about 3 hours. Short, sweet and to the point. You are a godsend.

Guard: "could you conjure me a warm bed?" Dragonborn: "Sure, but first let me check nexus"

[@_AshB45_]

Got a recommendation for this from SkyrimPlus. And now I am subscribed. I've been looking for someone that talks like they are indeed explaining things to a noobie and not someone that took classes in computer programming. I do have a question though: What is the purpose of the .ini file?

[@gamerpoets]

.ini files are settings. You might find that some games have ini files (other games may not). Some mods might. Some may not. Its just a file that lets you tweak things.

I keep getting this error: You are using Skyrim version 1.5.97, which is out of date and incompatible with this version of SKSE64 (2.2.6). Update to the latest version. I am on version 1.6.1170.0 so I do not understand why its telling me Im using 1.5.97. I have tried to download the 1.5.97 but it gives the same error. Any help would be appreciated.

Question: do you intend to do some of those updated tutorial videos on Fallout 4 as well? i mean, considering it's back in trendings because of the series and all. I wanted to play it with mods but it seems that Fallout 4 guides on the internet are quite old and few use MO2, so i would really like if you made one. Thanks for the video as always

[@gamerpoets]

Not sure what fallout game I'm interested in yet, but the series has peaked my interest.

[@Ricardo_Rick]

@@gamerpoets I see, no worries, thanks for the answer

[@scorched8136]

[@wonder777warrior6]

Vortex makes all this so much easier 😂.

[@DuhVirus]

Love to see the more frequent uploads lately, I have a question though it's Probably a no due to being kinda niche but I have to ask anyway, is there any possibility for you to do these modding tutorials for the steam deck one day, even if it's no time soon? Edit: My bad spelling

[@gamerpoets]

I don't own one :) maybe one day but not something that I'm currently thinking about.
