Using TES5EDIT without Steam Skyrim installed? - by DanielCoffey

Posted: 03.03.2019 17:23

I have just removed my Steam installation of Skyrim since I didn't need it cluttering up the disk and despite TES5EDIT working perfectly with Enderal up to that point, now it refuses to load with the Fatal: Cannot find INI" message. Steam Enderal is installed of course.

I have added the "-I:PathToEnderal.ini" parameter to my TES5EDIT shortcut but still cannot get TES5EDIT to let me in. Any clues as to what I need to do next? Is it the space in the My Games folder?

Code Select all

I have installed Skyrim and use tesvedit for Skyrim and enderal without any problems.
Therefore I only copied the TES5Edit.exe and the corresponding -.txt files into the Enderal game directory, nothing adapted or changed.
Depending on which one I choose now, whether \Enderal\TES5Edit.exe or \Skyrim\TES5Edit.exe, this version will be used.

Maybe tesvedit also needs the original Skyrim-Ini´s to work at all, but I don't know that.

I copied the Enderal.ini and EnderalPrefs.ini into the My Games\Skyrim folder, renamed them to their Skyrim names and TES5EDIT worked. Thanks.

I do notice that Enderal is making files in the My Games\Skyrim folder. It is creating Papyrus logs, SKSE logs and the RendererInfo.txt file which is untidy.

I must remember to report it in the tracker.

no need to, that's a known issue.
