📋 About This Mod
Automatic Patcher
Description
SKSE plugin that runs DIP (in the future maybe more tools) with patches before starting the game. Goal is to simplify the patching process for collections, etc. For this to work, jsons must be created in the path "Data\\SKSE\\Plugins\\AutomaticPatcher\\DIP" with the following scheme:
"patchPath": "Data\\NORDIC UI - Minimap - DIP Patch",
"alreadyPatched": false
"patchPath": "Data\\Untarnished UI - RaceMenu - DIP",
"alreadyPatched": false
To simplify this process, there is the INI setting EnableWriteJSON. If = true, a json is automatically written for all installed DIP patches. Only DIP patches with “DIP” in the folder name are detected. Deactivates all other AutomaticPatcher features.
There is also the option in the INI to display a pop-up window in main menu, which shows some information about the success of the process.
The disadvantage is that, since it opens and runs commands with DIP in the cmd, it might look like something is wrong to people who don't know what's going on.
Compatibility
SE, AE and VR.
Dead Key Fix
Description
SKSE plugin that fixes a problem with keyboard layouts where the ^ key (at least on German layout) is used to open the console. The issue is that the ^ key is a dead key and appends a ^ every time the console is opened/closed with the ^ key. With the small fix, this buffer is emptied every time it is opened and closed, so that this annoying bug is finally fixed.
After writing this, I noticed that Media Keys Fix SKSE has a better option to fix dead keys. So it is best to use Media Keys Fix SKSE with DisableDeadKeys = true in the INI. I'll leave my plugin on the page anyway, in case someone wants it anyway :D
Compatibility
SE, AE and VR.
Menu Path Logger
Description
SKSE plugin that logs the path to the swf file to the SKSE log file and the console every time a menu is opened in the game. Sometimes useful for debugging.
Compatibility
SE, AE and VR.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (617,976) shows it's widely used and trusted
- Covers multiple niche fixes in one package, saving you from hunting separate mods
- Active development (last updated October 2025) means it's likely kept current
⚠️ Cons
- Requires SKSE, so you need to set that up first if you haven't
- Niche fixes may not matter to you unless you hit those specific issues
For Skyrim modders who run DIP patches and want automation, or players with German keyboards or menu text bugs. Skip if you don't have those specific issues—this is a utility pack, not a gameplay overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have SKSE64 installed and launch the game through its loader, or the plugins won't activate.
- If you use a mod manager, let it handle the file placement—manual install can break things if you put files in the wrong folders.
- Check the mod's forum posts or comments for any known conflicts with other SKSE plugins before adding it to your load order.
