📋 About This Mod
A port of doodlum's Screenshot Helper to CommonLibSSE-NG that also fixes the longstanding issue of screenshots overwriting each other if taken during the same ingame minute and in the same location (such as when using the console command tfc 1 to pause the game).
Differences to the original:
-
[]Ported to CommonLibSSE-NG so one .dll works with all game versions.[/]
[]Instead of a FOMOD with multiple installation options an .ini file has been added which allows toggling Wabbajack mode on and off. Defaults to off.[/]
[]The bug of screenshot files overwriting each other has been fixed.[/]
Mod overview:
In the vanilla game all screenshots are saved in the game folder with an increasing counter: Screenshot001.png, Screenshot002.png, Screenshot003.png, etc. With Screenshot Helper the screenshots are instead sorted into subfolders found under Screenshots, with each subfolder named after the name and race of your character. Each screenshot file name is formed based on the (ingame) date and time and the location it was taken in. In case a file with the same name already exists, an index suffix will be appended to the file name.
With Wabbajack mode on (set "Wabbajack = true" in the ini) the top folder is named " Screenshots" instead. This prevents the folder from being removed if the mod is used in a wabbajack list installation and the user updates the list.
Requirements:
Skyrim Script Extender
Address Library
SSE Engine Fixes
Compatiblity:
Has been tested and confirmed to work with game versions 1. 5. 97 and 1. 7. 104. Probably works with others too. VR compatibility unconfirmed, as I don't own VR and can't test it.

Screenshot Helper NG is a port of doodlum's Screenshot Helper to CommonLibSSE-NG, fixing the bug where screenshots overwrite each other when taken in the same in-game minute and location. It organizes screenshots into character-named subfolders with date/time/location-based filenames, and adds an ini toggle for Wabbajack mode. Requires SKSE, Address Library, and SSE Engine Fixes.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fixes a real annoyance—no more lost screenshots when spamming tfc 1.
- One DLL for all game versions thanks to CommonLibSSE-NG, so no version-specific downloads.
- Wabbajack mode is a nice touch for list users, keeps screenshots from being wiped on updates.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires three dependencies (SKSE, Address Library, SSE Engine Fixes), so it's not a drop-in mod.
- VR compatibility is unconfirmed—if you're on VR, you're rolling the dice.
- Only tested on 1.5.97 and 1.6.1170; other versions might work but no guarantees.
For Skyrim screenshot enthusiasts who want organized, non-overwriting screenshots without fiddling with file names. Also great for Wabbajack list users who want their screenshot folder to survive updates. Skip if you don't take many screenshots or are on VR—compatibility is unverified there.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have SKSE, Address Library, and SSE Engine Fixes installed first—this mod won't work without them.
- If you use a mod manager, let it handle the ini file; otherwise, edit the ini manually to toggle Wabbajack mode.
- Test with tfc 1 to see the fix in action—take multiple screenshots in the same spot and check the subfolders.
