How to Install Address Library for SKSE Plugins: An Expert Modder‘s Guide

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

As an avid Skyrim player with over 800 hours clocked, getting crucial SKSE-based mods like SkyUI and RaceMenu working properly has been key for my enhanced experience. But weird errors and inconsistent crashes plagued my plugin success until discovering the vital Address Library utility.

So what exactly does the Address Library mod do and why is it so essential for solid SKSE plugin performance? Acting as a bridge between plugins and the core game, it enables smooth interoperability across differing game versions by maintaining up-to-date memory locations and functions calls. Let‘s dig into the installation process…

Preparing Your Modding Environment

Before diving into adding new mods, make sure you‘ve got SKSE64 and Mod Organizer 2 correctly set up:

With over 33 million Skyrim searches on Google in 2021, both casual and veteran Dragonborn are still eagerly enhancing their journeys. And based on strong
Nexus Mods endorsement levels, top plugins like SkyUI (47K+), RaceMenu (16k+), and UIExtensions (14K+) depend directly on the Address Library framework.

Installing the Address Library

  1. Download the latest AE/SE 1.6+ version from Nexus or GitHub. Oldrim LE downloads will not work!

  2. Open MO2, select your current profile, and install the downloaded archive file through your mods tab.

  3. The installed mod will now be listed on the left panel. Check it‘s enabled with the checkbox.

  4. LEFT PANEL: Navigate up to the Address Library mod and select it. RIGHT PANEL: Use drag and drop or sorting buttons to position it above all other SKSE plugins. Load order is crucial!

With the core files now added to your Data folder and properly positioned, launch SKSE through MO2 to build the registry as usual. You‘re now ready to add top plugins from my 2021 favorites:

Troubleshooting Issues

"Using Address Library has made our plugins way more stable after updates and allowed backwards compatibility" – Chesko, Arthmoor

Despite the automated benefits, problems can still pop up needing some modder care. Here are expert-tested solutions for common Library errors:

SKSE Error On Launch – First, update Address Library if behind latest game version. If still occurring, completely remove mod, delete associated files/folders, reinstall fresh copy in optimal position, and rebuild registry.

Plugins Not Appearing – Triple check load order, remove/readd mods one by one to isolate problem file, and create bashed patch to resolve record conflicts between additions.

Hopefully this guide has demystified the vital Address Library so you can empower top-tier plugins! Let me know if any issues come up in the comments – we rise by lifting each other 🙂
