Click "Install" on the Enderal Steam page. It downloads as a completely separate, standalone game and will not interfere with your existing Skyrim installation. Manual/Nexus Mod Version (Advanced) Link: Enderal SE on Nexus Mods
Never install Enderal directly into your main Skyrim folder unless you are using a mod manager; the Steam version handles this automatically by using its own folder.
Download via a mod manager like Mod Organizer 2 (MO2) or Vortex . This version is often preferred by modders because it is compatible with the latest Skyrim versions (like AE) and is actively maintained outside of Steam's version locks. 💻 System Requirements
Skyrim SE does not need to be installed; you only need to have it in your library.
Enderal uses its own save directory ( Documents\My Games\Enderal Special Edition ). Do not try to load Skyrim saves in Enderal or vice versa, as this will cause crashes.
There are two primary versions of Enderal SE , each with a different installation path: Link: Enderal: Forgotten Stories (Special Edition) on Steam
