  • Skyrim AE pirated help

    I'd grab the one from gog-games.to, I can't link directly as that's against the rules. It's compatible with MO2 (Mod Organizer 2) as well as having a version of skse64 (Skyrim Script Extender x64 available for it.
  • OBSE Loader (mod loader for Oblivion) keeps crashing when loading/starting game
    2 projects | /r/SteamDeck | 8 Jul 2023
    I’m not running OBSE by itself. I’m running it alongside Mod Organizer 2. This script will setup MO2 for you and set it so that Steam launches it automatically when you press play. Then, you’ll need to follow this doc to install OBSE alongside MO2. Hopefully that would setup all of your pathing correctly.

    Try some of the solutions described here and here. Unfortunately because these games and tools were made for Windows, you'll often have to jump through extra hoops to get things to work.
