Support

You can follow the general setup guide at https://crowdcontrol.live/setup for extra help with the Twitch Extension, the Crowd Control Desktop Client and other options.

If you have any questions or need help with this setup, please head over to our discord, forum or email us for additional support!

Setup

We recommend using the One Click Setup if you are new to modding with this game. If you want to apply the mod yourself, feel free to follow these steps.

If you are confused about what version you have, check the in game pause menu. Under SYSTEM, in the bottom left you should see either 1.6.640, or 1.5.97.

Anniversary Edition Support (v1.6.640)

Use the Crowd Control desktop app to automatically install our mod!

If you want to manually add the mod, follow the below steps:

  1. Download the full skse + Crowd Control mod here.
  2. Copy the contents of this zip to the Skyrim Special Edition steam folder. (Right click Skyrim SE in Steam > Manage > Browse local files)
  3. “Replace files in the destination” if asked.
  4. Copy the CrowdControl.ini file from the zip to Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\.
  5. Select “Skyrim Special Edition (PC)” from the Crowd Control desktop app, and Launch gam!
  6. Confirm you see “CrowdControl.esp” from the title screen Mod menu.
  7. Press START in the Crowd Control desktop app.

Anniversary Edition Support (v1.6.659)

Use the Crowd Control desktop app to automatically install our mod!

For a manual setup, follow these steps:
1. Download the full skse + Crowd Control mod here.
2. Find you install of Skyrim and copy the contents into the folder.
– This should be where you find “SkyrimSE.exe”
– If you are not sure, try “C:\GOG Games\Skyrim Anniversary Edition”
3. Copy the CrowdControl.ini file from the zip to Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\.
4. Select “Skyrim Special Edition (PC)” from the Crowd Control desktop app, and Launch gam!
5. Confirm you see “CrowdControl.esp” from the title screen Mod menu.
6. Press START in the Crowd Control desktop app.

Pre-Anniversary Edition (downgraded) Support (v1.5.97)

This is the same process as above, but we are using a different plugin dll to support v1.5.97. You can also use the One Click Install, just replace the files as needed.

  • Use this full skse + Crowd Control mod instead of the one listed above.
  • You can also run the One Click as normal and replace the new plugin with this one. Just exact the dll to Skyrim Special Edition\Data\SKSE\Plugins and replace CrowdContro.dll.

Mod Organizer

We assume you already have SKSE installed as part of your instance, if not, run our Mod Setup and create a new instance. This is currently fully tested using Skyrim Special Edition v1.6.640.

  • Run our Mod Setup to grab the ccver which installs the base install of Skyrim.
  • From there, install this stripped down version of our mod, MO2-CrowdControl-SkyrimSE-1-6-640.zip using “Install a new mod from an archive” in MO2.
  • Make sure our mod is set as Priority 0.
  • Select Skyrim Special Edition from the Crowd Control desktop app, which activates the connector.
  • Launch Skyrim with SKSE from MO2.
  • Press Start Session from the CC desktop app.

A working setup example looks like this:

Gameplay Notes

  • Mouse or Controller: We have disabled PC/mouse type effects by default in favor of controller effects. You can disable or enable your specific input effects from the effect pricing page.
  • Overlay Note: The default is to display Crowd Control events using the in game text. You can disable this by editing the CrowdControl.ini included in our zip. Change bEnableCommandNotify=1 to bEnableCommandNotify=0 from your Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition folder.

Troubleshooting

  • “Crowd Control v” in game message: This means the Crowd Control script is not running. Make sure you are using the Launch Game button in the CC desktop app or using “skse64_loader.exe” to start Skyrim. You will also want to make sure you have the correct version of our mod installed, 1.6.353 or v1.5.97, as noted above.
  • Getting “Crowd Control stopped while player is bound” issue: Use this version of the mod instead. Just copy the contents to your “Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition” and replace when asked.
  • Mod Order: If you are playing Crowd Control with other mods, we suggest making it the first in your load order. Other mods can work, but we will only be able to fully support the CC mod working by itself.
