Apocalypse Magic (Mod) Questions

[skeet1983]

Hi guys. Now that Skyrim has updated again, and that we need to wait for SKSE64 to update, lets talk about Skyrim Magic! :)

Anyway, I primarily use Magic in Skyrim AE, mostly Destruction Spells. I have heard about Apocalypse Magic Mod, and have a few questions before proceeding:

- Does it work with Skyrim AE?
- Can I still go through Mages Guild questline when using said mod?

Thoughts and help appreciated :)

Never use PSB it will break your game. That black aura is the Ebony Mail effect which counts as a magic effect which gets applied to you when using that command. Having all these extra spells added will just cause even worse issues.

If you just want easy access to all the spells use the Additem mod, it will let you take whatever you want from the mod, any mod and anything from the base game as well.

Thanks for the help and info! You don't recommend using Odin or Apocalypse Magic?

No, the opposite, I use Apocalypse myself. I suggest using the Additem Menu mod if you want the spells over using PSB. Although the cheat chests should be enough as it is.

Alright, thanks so much for the help and info! I do have a side question though:

I have heard about the mods disappearing issue with latest Skyrim SE/AE version, and that is what I am currently on. I heard that Bethesda is planning a fix soon. My question is, should I start a new playthrough with latest SKSE and mods, or should I wait until Bethesda updates game again, and SKSE updates again? Also, is there a way to launch game with SKSE active, through Vortex Mod Manager? That is the MM I use. Further thoughts and help appreciated :)

When Bethesda updates the game the game version changes and makes SKSE incomparable and mods that rely on it fail to work.

There is no need to start a new game, it's not clear when Bethesda will do another update, this most recent on came out of nowhere. Just download the latest version of SKSE.

I don't use Vortex but I do think it has an option to Lanuch with SKSE active. How I launch my game is using a Shortcut on my Desktop that is the SKSE_Loader.exe you get when you install it. In your Skyrim folder you can find that then right click, make a shortcut and drag that onto your desktop, then use that, you won't have to open your MM every time you wanna play, just Steam.

Also to prevent updates in the future right click your game in your library then properties then updates and select "Only update when I launch" then as long as steam is already running using the SKSE shortcut will not cause the game to update.

If you want to expand the set of spells for yourself (and or enemies like I did) you can add Apocalypse with Odin. When you're loading the mod for the first time, Odin is detecting if Apocalypse is running, making it compatible.

On top of that, I also included Triumvirate.
