Can't find my main Skyrim SE .exe?

[Metal_Fishman]

Hi, thanks if you came to help. This is my first time posting, and I'm quite desperate. This is a bit difficult for me to explain, but I'll try.

I've been trying to mod, but am taking it slow. When I installed Nexus, that seemed to work, so I tried to launch Skyrim SE. But it said there was no .exe in my files. So I checked, and the only thing I found in the main Skyrim folders was a Launcher file. I can't go anywhere beyond the first loading screen. I know I have the game downloaded but nothing is recognizing it, modded or not, and I am very lost. I haven't found a thread about experiencing this problem so I have no frame of reference.

right Click on the game in Steam got to properties and find the local files. Or got to C Drive Program files 86: Steam: Steam Apps: Common: Skyrim folder. The EXE files should be there.

If that not work just buy the game :)

Thanks for replying.
First of all, my pc doesn't have a c drive, and second, I've already done the browse local files numerous times. I know where everything is, the problem is the only thing that's loading is just SkyrimLauncher.exe. And then nothing. And Nexus, despite finding the game yesterday, doesn't register it now.

Things to try.
- Make sure that your security software haven't brainlessly quarantined your Skyrim.exe. That has happened before.

If that is not the case, then:
- Steam Library: Right click the game.
- Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Cache.

If that does nto solve the problem and you suspect client itself is bugged:
- Steam client: Steam: Downloads: Clear Download Cache. (Prepare to sign back in to client.)
- Verify Integrity of Game Cache again.
