📋 About This Mod
Framework for hooking upon the Skyrim process functions. Supports shared storage between users.
SSE Hooks is a modder resource for Skyrim Special Edition that provides a common base for hooking functions or variables in memory, using JSON files to map names to addresses. It aims to prevent patch mods from breaking after SKSE updates by allowing runtime address updates without rebuilding. Includes automatic merging of JSON patches and supports overpatching with user profiles.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community trust with 423 endorsements and over 12k downloads
- Solves a real pain point: patch mods breaking after SKSE updates
- Flexible JSON system means you can update addresses without recompiling
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020, so it might not play nice with newer Skyrim/SKSE versions
- It's a modder resource, not a plug-and-play mod—requires coding knowledge to use
- Potential compatibility risk with other mods that hook the same functions
For Skyrim mod developers who are tired of rebuilding patches every time SKSE updates. If you're a player looking for gameplay or visual mods, this isn't for you—it's a backend tool. Skip if you're not comfortable with JSON and code.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're a modder, check the GitHub repo for full API docs before diving in.
- Place your JSON patch files in Data\SKSE\Plugins\sse-hooks\ and they'll auto-apply on startup.
- Test your hooks on a separate profile to avoid breaking your main save.
