modorganizer VS temurin8-binaries

Use a mod manager – pick either Vortex : https://www.nexusmods.com/about/vortex/ Or MO2 : https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/6194

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.

I highly recommend Mod Organizer 2, but Vortex is an acceptable alternative. As a rule of thumb, the more advanced you want to get with your modding, the more strenuously I recommend MO2 as there are some differences in its technical approach that make a bigger and bigger difference as the complexity of your build increases.

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.

MO2 is Mod Organizer 2.
