There are two files just saved after you exit the secret escape route from Helgen. One save is escaping with the Imperials and the other save is escaping with the Stormcloaks. Once installed just load the file and edit your character and name and begin playing Skyrim. This way you will not have to go through the intro of the game. These saved game only requires Skyrim Special Edition.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have Skyrim Special Edition installed, not the original version.
