How To Install Cbbe Skyrim Special Edition

(Sorry for the long initial post. I feel I need to explain my current state of affairs with modding: semi-sorta-kinda-noobish? I also apologize for this being probably TLDR for most folks. I believe in giving as much evidence as possible for resolutions to problems...it stems from doing help desk work and dealing with people who have no damn business owning a computer! HRNK!)

May 01, 2017  It was out. It was on the Skyrim Special Edition Nexus and it said it was a SE version. I downloaded it a few weeks ago and have been using it with no probelms. It appears to have been taken dwon from the site, I cannot find it now.

Cbbe Body Skyrim Special Edition

I seem to be having an issue getting CBBE and Caliente's other mod, BodySlide and Costume, set up to work properly. I didn't have issues in FO4 with Caliente's mods, however, I used NMM to take care of mods. I think I have something like 1500+ hours into FO4 and had to learn everything about modding from (well below) the ground up. I think for a 52 year old fart I have done fairly well with the learning curve

I finally started playing SSE in March and have found out modding is somewhat more in depth with tools and digging into files. No big deal...I kinda enjoy futzing around like that. I decided to give MO2 a shot as my mod organizer and, Holy crappers!, I prefer it over NMM! (I'm curious how the next iteration of NMM is going to turn out and I'm waiting for Gopher to use it more before tentatively giving it a shot...I digress.)

Now...my issue may be a misunderstanding of how, or, if, CBBE works well with MO2.

I downloaded the CBBE mod manually and followed Caliente's instructions to the 'T', I believe. I went to get the shortcut set up in the 'Pick A Program To Run' box just left of the play button in MO2. I couldn't find an .exe file for CBBE anywhere. I went ahead and installed Caliente's BodySlide and Outfit mod properly and was able to find the .exe file for that and was able to put that shortcut into the above mentioned short cut box. I just couldn't seem to get CBBE to run for me. I also cleaned out the manual install and allowed MO2 to install the mod, but the files didn't wind up in the spots where Caliente said they should be, but resided under desktop>ModOrganizer2>Mods. Yes, I run MO2 off my desktop. It works for me. I think I have a decently powered gaming computer, as well.

Am I going to have to run CBBE another way? There are a few mods I have that are handled by NMM, actually. I don't seem to be having conflicts and crashes (except around now Winterhold, for some reason. If I even get close to it, CTD. If I fast travel there, CTD. I'm getting a message at the beginning of SSE play that my SKSE is out of date and SkyUI won't work properly, but LOOT says SKSE is up to date...but that's another issue).

I do use SSEEdit, FNIS (as of recently), I have Wrye Bash downloaded, but not installed yet, and can generally figure out issues before bothering y'all. I'm newish to modding SSE, but not a noob with computers. RTFM works well most of the time, right?

I will post my (laaaaaaarge) mod list if y'all want, but please forgive me if I misuse the way to hide the damn thing under the 'spoiler' function...that still fummfers me for some reason. I do understand quite well that a big mod list creates issues different from one player to the next. I have overwritten files, but that hasn't posed issues as far as I can tell. (The Winterhold thing started after I began getting the 'SKSE out of date' message in the game but not in LOOT. And, Yes, I know LOOT isn't perfect but more of a guideline for mod order. I frequently move mods around when needed after LOOT-ing.)

Thanks for any advice, in advance! Please forgive me for typing in full sentences and hopefully coherent paragraphs, also. It's a generational-thing, I guess.

Have fun and play well!
