Error Code 1: The Skyrim Script

Extender (SKSE) is not running...


Problem
You didn't install the Skyrim Script Extender (or you installed it incorrectly).
Solution
Get SKSE from http://skse.silverlock.org/ and follow the installation instructions included in
the readme file.
If you have problems installing or running SKSE, have a look at Gopher's video
guide:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTGnQIiNVqA
Error Code 2: SKSE is outdated...
Problem
The SKSE version you are using is too old. You may run into this error after upgrading
SkyUI without upgrading SKSE as well.
Solution
Install the latest SKSE version as described in the previous solution.
Error Code 3: SKSE scripts are
outdated...
Problem
Setting up SKSE requires two steps: Installing the binaries and the Papyrus scripts.
Your Papyrus scripts are not matching the SKSE binaries. Either you forgot to install or
update them, or an update of the Creation Kit overwrote the files with their originals.
Solution
Quoting the SKSE Readme:
1. Copy the .dll and .exe files to your Skyrim directory. This is usually in your Program Files
folder under Steam\SteamApps\common\skyrim. If you see files named TESV and
SkyrimLauncher, this is the correct folder. Do not copy these files to the Data folder as with
a normal mod. The "src" folder is only useful for programmers, most users can ignore it.
2. Copy the .pex files in Data\Scripts\ into the Data\Scripts\ folder of your installation. The .pex
files are needed by all users of SKSE.
Make sure you don't forget the second step.
Error Code 4: Your Papyrus INI settings
are invalid...
Problem
One, or more, of your Papyrus INI variables are set to invalid values. There are several
tweaking guides and INI generators out there that propagate setting these to out-of-range
values. As a result, SkyUI or other event-based mods can start behaving erratically.
Solution
Open My Documents/My Games/Skyrim/Skyrim.ini with a text editor and reset the following values
to their respective defaults
[Papyrus]
iMinMemoryPageSize=128
iMaxMemoryPageSize=512
iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes=76800
You may also have to reset these values in SkyrimCustom.ini, if it exists, which is in the same
directory.
For details on the meaning of these settings,
seehttp://www.creationkit.com/INI_Settings_(Papyrus)
Also, in case you think you know better: You don't. See these recommendations from a
developer who implemented Papyrus.
Note 1: If you're getting this error even though your Papyrus INI settings are correct, re-
install SKSE. It's possible that some of your SKSE scripts have been overwritten, which
may cause INI value test to fail.
Note 2: If you're getting this error even though SKSE is installed correctly, verify the
following INI setting:
[Archive]
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
A value of 0 will cause SKSE to stop working and will make the INI value tests fail.
Error Code 5: Incompatible menu file...
There are two potential causes of this error.
Problem A
You didn't uninstall an old version of SkyUI before upgrading to 3.0 or newer.
Solution A
Make sure you really removed all traces of older SkyUI versions, then install the new
version again.
Installing SkyUI with the Nexus Mod Manager can help you with that, because it will detect
and list conflicting files from SkyUI 2.2 and 3.1-alpha.

Problem B
There's another mod that overrides a particular menu file SkyUI is using as well.
Solution B
You'll have to pick one of the two mods.
If you want another mod to be able to override certain menu files of SkyUI while keeping the
rest, you can disable these warning messages individually in the SkyUI configuration menu
( Advancedpage).
Error Code 6: Menu file version
mismatch...
Problem
The versions of SkyUI scripts and interface files are not matching. This could happen if you
manually extracted the SkyUI.bsa.
Solution
Remove any loose SkyUI files from your data folder.
