Where Does SKSE Store Logs and Settings?
SKSE Documents configs plus game-folder loader and logs.
Last updated
SKSE splits itself between the game folder (loader and DLLs) and Documents My Games (per-mod configs and logs). Updates must match the exact game build.
Version mismatch is the classic Skyrim killer. Check the SKSE build against your game version before launching a modded list.
Where SKSE stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\SKSE
Per-mod INI configs plus skse64.log and plugin logs. The loader (skse64_loader.exe) and DLLs live in the game root beside SkyrimSE.exe. Log files here name the crashing plugin after CTDs. Anniversary Edition needs its own SKSE build.
Frequently asked questions
Why does SKSE fail after a Skyrim update?
The extender build targets specific game versions. Wait for the matching SKSE release instead of forcing the old DLLs.
Where are SKSE crash clues?
In the log files inside the folder above. The last loaded plugin entry usually names the culprit.
