Select Living Skyrim: In the top-right corner, select Living Skyrim [SKSE] from the dropdown.
Start the Game: Click on the Run button.
Update Game Registry: If prompted, confirm the game’s registry path update. If you’re not asked, move to the next step.
Shortcut Option: For convenience, create a desktop shortcut using the Shortcut button below the Run button.
Start a New Game: Once Skyrim starts, choose to create a new game.
Create & Name Your Character: Choose your character’s appearance and name.
Wait for Mod Initialization: After gaining control of your character, wait. Mods will initialize, showing in the top-left. Wait until no more mods appear.
🛑 Do not load a previous save or one from another modlist. This can corrupt the save.
