~ FAQ ~
What versions of Skyrim does it support?
LE, SE, AE, VR
* In VR, once you hit 'Record', everything begins recording. There is no popup with information. Similarly, when you click on a recording to play it, it may seem like nothing happened. Please exit the MCM and a popup will appear prompting you to play or continue that recording. Sorry, I can't seem to get popups appearing over the MCM menu in VR
Does it support MCM menus which require you to "Exit the MCM to continue"?
Does it support MCMs where the pages don't all show up until you "Install" or "Activate" the mod?
Does this conflict with any other mods?
Thus far, we have determined this conflicts with:
- Ye Olde MCM
- SkyUI - Resort
- MCM Limit Upgraded
These will not be compatible until patches are developed.
I can't find my McmRecorder folder with the generated files
If you use Mod Organizer 2, it's in your Overwrite directory. Go to Settings and then the Paths tab and you'll see the path to your Overwrite folder. It should contain your McmRecorder directory.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive community adoption (10k+ endorsements, 4M downloads) — this is a proven tool.
- Saves time by automating MCM setup, perfect for modlists with many configurable mods.
- Active enough to have a solid user base even if not updated recently.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in January 2022 — may not support the latest game version or newer MCM frameworks.
- No detailed feature list provided, so you'll have to test compatibility yourself.
- Requires understanding of JSON and MCM structure, which might be intimidating for casual users.
For Skyrim modders who juggle multiple MCM-heavy mods and want to save/restore settings quickly. Also for modlist authors who want to distribute pre-configured MCM setups. Skip if you rarely touch MCMs or prefer manual configuration.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if your game version is compatible with the mod's last update (Jan 2022) before installing.
- Use a mod manager like MO2 or Vortex to keep track of the generated JSON files.
- Test on a single mod first to ensure the generated JSON works before applying to your whole load order.
