📋 About This Mod
Animation Converter:
This utility automates the process for conversion of Oldrim HKX animation files. Most guides tell you to manually run HavokBehaviorPostProcess.exe on each .hkx file. This utility simply automates this process for mods with multiple .hkx files (and possibly folders). To use it:
-
[]Run Converter.bat.
[
](If necessary) Locate HavokBehaviorPostProcess.exe (usually located in SSE Install\Tools\HavokBehaviorPostProcess\).[]Locate your mod directory (or a subfolder that contains the animation files). Note that all .hkx files in the specified directory and its subfolders will be converted.
[]Let the tool do its thing.
SKSE Save Sweeper (SKSE64 users only):
This tool cleans your save game folder of loose .skse files (.skse files that aren't paired with any .ess files). These sometimes get left behind when deleting save games in game and may clutter up your save folder, as well as negatively impact the behavior of Save/Load menus in the game.
-
[]Run SKSE Sweeper.exe.
[
]If you're not using profile-local save folders, just point the tool to the default location of My Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\. If you have profile-local saves (users of Mod Organizer 2 and similar tools), point it to the appropriate profile folder (for MO2 users profiles are in %LOCALAPPDATA%\ModOrganizer\SkyrimSE\profiles\ by default). - Wait until the tool is done - it should tell you how many loose files were deleted.
-
[]Run SKSE Sweeper.exe.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 528 endorsements and over 8k downloads, so it's proven useful for many modders.
- Saves time by batch-converting animations instead of manually running HavokBehaviorPostProcess on each file.
- The Save Sweeper is a unique tool that addresses a common annoyance with leftover .skse files.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in May 2018, so it may not be actively maintained for newer Skyrim SE versions or modding tools.
- Animation Converter requires manual location of HavokBehaviorPostProcess.exe, which might be tricky for less experienced users.
- The Save Sweeper is only for SKSE64 users, so it's not useful if you don't use SKSE.
This is for Skyrim SE mod authors and modders who frequently convert Oldrim animations or deal with save folder clutter. If you're a casual player who doesn't mod animations or use SKSE, you can skip it. But if you're deep into porting mods or managing many saves, this toolkit is a handy addition.
💡 Beginner Tips
- When using the Animation Converter, make sure you point it to the correct mod folder—it will convert all .hkx files in subfolders, so double-check you're not converting unintended files.
- For the Save Sweeper, if you use Mod Organizer 2, select your profile folder under %LOCALAPPDATA%\ModOrganizer\SkyrimSE\profiles\ to avoid missing saves.
- Run the tools as administrator if you encounter permission issues, especially when accessing files in Program Files or protected folders.
