journey VS AutoHotkey

I've been using Journey's modlist via a Wabbajack installation (https://github.com/SiraMirai/journey/blob/main/README.md)

Though if you want Skyrim to look prettier, and remain mostly true to it's roots with slightly improved combat then you want Journey here: https://github.com/Lost-Outpost/journey/blob/main/README.md

So I found that using a pre-existing modlist was the way to go. I stumbled upon Skyrim: Journey, downloadable via Wabbajack, a tool which will handle the downloads for me. The “Journey” modlist promises to be “A lightweight modlist designed to act as a cohesive gameplay and graphical overhaul to play an improved Skyrim that looks and runs beautifully.”. Here I will retrace my steps in a brief form to hopefully help out some impatient gamers who just wanna play an optimized Skyrim mod on their everything-is-possible handheld. I would say you need about 1-2 dedicated hours for reading and config and about 8-16 hours for downloading/moving files.

Journey is the modlist I'd recomment to anyone doing a regular Skyrim playthrough. It has very vanilla feel — unlike all those Skyrim Ring and Tamriel Souls mod lists that completely ignore first-person stuff. It also manages to fix up a lot of vanilla issues. Especially with combat.

All you have to do (other than have autohotkey installed) is

But, if you just install AutoHotKey, you can run these two scripts to select a first and a second dictionary: Select Dictionaries Zipfile

You could try (and I have no affiliation with) http://autohotkey.com - then allocate the key to something like ctrl-F13 (often unused - but reachable via sending system keystroke).

Honestly, it's a bit silly of autohotkey.com to have such strict protections, especially on its downloads. You may be able to workaround by using the github releases instead which are far less restrictive.

try out autohotkey.com

autohotkey.com Go to the ahk website, click download, then choose 'Download v1.1 (deprecated)'
