Another new problem

[gregnewman2202]

I've had to download my game again for the 5th time . Now when I open My ( Vortex ) mod manager , I getting a '' Invalid Primary tool '' message on the top right corner .

then when I start a new game , my controller is now not recognised by the game . both my wrists are pinned , fingers still have full movement so for me it's much easier for to use a
controller . I did check in the '' local files - properties controller '' which is turned to default ,
because I don't have a mouse ( this is why I own a laptop ) I know there is a controller setting in the game but i can't get there to check the settings .

What did you do before you encountered this issue?

Which tool are you trying to use when the message '' Invalid Primary tool '' pops up?

just downloaded the game , SKSE64 Skyui ( I think you the one I mean ) and a heap of mods . It was all running perfectly except I forgot to turn off the update '' stuff '' .

Not one , The second I activated the game in my mod manager this message turned up .

Since the first post , I've downloaded the game again and even a new Vortex manager in case somehow I did something wrong I'm not yet aware of .

This is getting interesting by the second . My controller now works but now it looks like none
of the AE '' download stuff '' was there , so do I have the SE or AE version installed ?

All versions of the game are SE. AE refers only to the DLC of 70 or so Creation Club mods bundled together that can be bought. If you bought the AE DLC, you have SSE and the AE DLC.

For purposes of SKSE, the SKSE team wrongly calls the current versions (1.6+) of SSE Anniversary Edition, and when asked back in November, why, as it was a source of confusion, they responded, and I quote, "It's more convenient for us."

But SKSE using the wrong nomenclature aside, it is all SSE.

At least now my game does run with the controller now . I think I know what the '' Invalid Main file '' is . I tried installing the SKSE64 first via the mod manager , It looked like it installed correctly , but upon starting the game i could find the game version written up anywhere . I then tried installing SKSE64 Manually ( I tried 3 versions of this ) and every time
I hit the loader button a pop-up would keep coming up to the effect of '' a .dll loader file won't load '' and if I clicked ''yes '' , stability problems may occur in my game .

I now going to disable the mod manager SKSE64 content ( i'll contact Nexus to see if there
is a workaround for this ) , delete the the loader files from my local files , And to be a lot more selective about my mod '' intake '' in the future .
