📋 About This Mod
What is this?
This "mod" is nothing more than an empty hull holding stub files to overwrite AddItemMenu's translation files.
As of the time of writing, the base AddItemMenu is not updated for AE. AddItemMenu NG solved this problem, but with the introduction of SSE 1130 and newer, even the NG variant is crashing.
Some clever folks in the posts on AddItemMenu have determined the cause was the translation files, and manually deleting them allowed AddItemMenu + AddItemMenu NG to function without issue on SSE 1130 and newer. But what I didn't find was a mod to help "automate" this solution. I figure it's probably simpler to install this mod rather than having to remember to manually clear those files out every time you do a deployment in Vortex.
This "mod" should be set to load after AddItemMenu. Doing so will remove all translation contents, and allow the mod to load without issue.
Side Effects
Text for AddItemMenu's own menus and buttons will appear as the raw translation keys, rather than friendly human readable text. For the most part you should still be able to make sense of what things mean, but it is certainly not the prettiest thing.
This mod provides blank translation files for AddItemMenu to automate a crash fix for the old version incompatible with Skyrim Special Edition 1130 and newer. It is a small utility mod with 47 endorsements and 5,385 downloads, last updated in November 2024.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Directly addresses a known crash issue for SSE 1130+ users (47 endorsements).
- Simple utility mod that does one job: fixes the translation-related crash.
- Decent download count (5,385) shows other players hit the same problem.
⚠️ Cons
- Only useful if you're using the old AddItemMenu and on SSE 1130+; otherwise it's pointless.
- Requires the original AddItemMenu mod to be installed, which may be outdated.
- Potential conflicts with other translation mods or newer AddItemMenu versions.
For Skyrim Special Edition players who use the old AddItemMenu mod and crash on version 1130 or newer. If you're on an older game version or use a different item menu mod, skip this.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the original AddItemMenu mod installed before adding this fix.
- If you're on Skyrim SE 1130+, this fix is essential to avoid crashes when opening the item menu.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install this to keep your load order clean.
