📋 About This Mod
Description
A script functions resource. I noticed I was using similar script functions in multiple mods, so I decided to make a script resource for convenience and thought some others might find them useful. This will be a requirement for most of my mods in the future. Note that these functions are papyrus only, (there's no skse .dll).
In Version 4. 6 I added DbSkseFunctions.psc and corresponding .dll thanks to mrowrpurr's excellent tutorial series on creating SKSE plugins, Ryan-rsm-McKenzie for CommonLib, powerofthree for CommonLib SSE and CharmedBaryon for CommonLib NG.
Most functions in DbMiscFunctions.psc require skse. Some require papyrusUtil or Papyrus Extender. The source script is well commented on with examples of how to use the functions, as well as their requirements.
Version 1. 9
Added DynamicArrays.psc. Used to create arrays of varying length. Like Utility. CreateStringArray(i) ect but doesn't require SKSE.
DynamicArrays.psc and DynamicArrays_b.psc must be attached to the same form in the creation kit to use.
Note that arrays created must still be between 1 and 128 elements in length.
Version 2. 0
Added Join, Push, RemoveAt, Clear and Count functions to DynamicArrays.psc.
Version 2. 1
Added Sort, Resize, InsertAt, InsertArrayAt, SubArray and CopyArray functions to DynamicArrays.psc
Similar to PapyrusUtil but doesn't require SKSE.
There's an example of how to use DynamicArrays in the download section under optional.
Version 8. 0
Added PapyrusUtilEx.psc which allows you to resize papyrus arrays of any type (no size limit) or otherwise alter (slice, merge, copy).

A script function resource for modders, providing reusable functions to simplify mod development. With 6,628 endorsements and 1.1 million downloads, it's a widely trusted utility. Last updated July 2025, ensuring compatibility with current game versions. Ideal for mod authors looking to streamline their code.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive adoption (1.1M downloads) — this is a staple for mod authors.
- Regular updates keep it relevant for current game patches.
- Endorsement ratio (6.6k) shows modders genuinely rely on it.
⚠️ Cons
- Description is sparse — no detailed feature list or usage examples provided.
- As a resource, it's useless for players; only benefits mod creators.
- No documentation on dependencies or installation steps in the description.
For mod authors who want to save time by using tested, community-vetted script functions. If you're a player, skip this — it won't change your game directly. But if you're tinkering with mod creation, this is a solid foundation.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're new to modding, check the mod's forum or comments for usage examples — the description lacks details.
- Ensure your modding environment matches the game version this was last updated for (July 2025).
- Since it's a resource, you'll need to integrate the functions into your own scripts — not a plug-and-play mod.
