skse64 VS CommonLibSSE

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.

and the original implementations in https://github.com/ianpatt/skse64/blob/master/skse64/

Check your Skyrim game version, and make sure you have the correct SKSE version: https://skse.silverlock.org/

Download the new version of SKSE from one of these links: Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE) (silverlock.org) or Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE64) at Skyrim Special Edition Nexus - Mods and Community (nexusmods.com)

Go here for older version of SKSE for 1.6.640: https://skse.silverlock.org/

Go here: https://skse.silverlock.org/ and download the version for Skyrim 1.6.640, at work so I cannot view the version you need, its like 2.2.3, there a 3 on the end. There is a mod on Nexus as well but I have never used that and not sure the older versions are available. SKSE has already been updated for 1.6.1130.

Questions - which one is NEW update? http://skse.silverlock.org- Current Anniversary Edition build 2.2.4 (game version 1.6.1130)

SKSE updated yesterday to 2.2.4 about four hours after the game update: https://skse.silverlock.org

Because SkyrimSE.exe has a Steam-related code inside. There's a solution though, you can use Steamless to disable it. This is safe even for SKSE DLL plugins and SKSE itself, more to say - many authors use this solution for develop purposes because it allows to attach VS debugger. Ryan aka Fudgyduff also mentions it in his CommonLibSSE Getting Started guide.

Since this small class is used by a lot of things (including the ones I mentioned), a lot of classes have also have their size / layout changed. This may be useful to check: https://github.com/Ryan-rsm-McKenzie/CommonLibSSE/commit/84070934c639a4c1eb074a29124387f5c29b600e

SKSE plugin development doesn't get any easier than CommonLibSSE. The NG fork has significantly more documentation and lets you compile SKSE plugins that support Skyrim SE, AE, and VR simultaneously.

That's not correct anymore. CommonLibSSE-NG is a fork of CommonLibSSE that allows plugin developers to build SKSE plugins that support Skyrim SE, AE, and VR¹ simultaneously. No need for separate builds or separate downloads. Plugins that were already built on CommonLibSSE need very few changes, and the vcpkg-centric workflow vastly simplifies building projects.

If you're looking to go for an SKSE DLL plugin in C++, I'd recommend basing it on CommonLibSSE which abstracts the SKSE API pretty nicely.

Are there any resources to get started with SKSE plugin development? I watched this video but it was mostly about setting up the development environment. I also read this from the Creation Kit wiki which led me here but the docs in this tutorial are a little advanced. As far as I can tell, the example plugin doesn't interact with the game itself so I still have no idea where to start 😔

SKSE DLL plugins that base themselves on CommonLibSSE as opposed to basically fully custom reverse engineered don't tend to have nearly as many issues porting to newer builds of the game, FWIW.

My error log looks like this. I have also tried to follow this tutorial, but I assume it is outdated. I got stuck in it in the build phase as well, and the errors were mostly about missing "common_v14".

If you want to try it out, download the SKSE source and try making something with it. SKSE has a decent amount of the game reversed, commonlibsse has a lot more (alandtse also has a version of it for VR). A huge amount of the game is still unexplored, but a lot of it has been figured out. The VR-specific things less-so, because the RE scene for the vr game is very very small. My mods are all open source, but they are probably pretty hard to get to build as they require things like headers that have the havok object definitions.
