How do I access SKSE plugins in MO2?
I just recently switched to MO2 from Vortex hearing that it was far superior in many aspects. So I decided to give it a try. However, I for some reason can't figure out where the SKSE plugin folder is located within MO2. As I understand, MO2 uses a virtual directory when modding, to sort conflicts between different mods, so the data/skse/plugins is not in the default location on my drive. I've tried using the INI editor but it just has the three main INI files from the my games folder. I need to find where the folder is to make some INI edits for game stability. This is driving me crazy, please if anyone can help me find this, it would be much appreciated.

Hi Ahzrukhal, If you look on the right side of the MO2 main window you'll see the tab "data" in the middle. If you click on that you're looking at a copy of the virtual data folder as the game will see it during loading. Your SKSE folder is there along withe the included plugins sub folder.

Also remember to go to the profile pull down menu and under "manage" turn on use profile specific Save games and INI files if you're going to use profiles at all (highly recommended)

Keep in mind that from that point forward you'll have to edit the ini files from within MO2 using the ini editor, or edit them in the profile folders if you want to edit outside MO2.

Alright, I'll try that. Thank you!
