Getting Started

Requirements and Installation

Beeing Female NG runs on Skyrim Special Edition / Anniversary Edition / VR. These mods are hard requirements -- each one must match your exact game version:

  • SKSE64 -- and the game must be started through the SKSE loader (or the SKSE entry in your mod manager), not the vanilla launcher.
  • SkyUI -- the full mod; it provides the MCM where all settings live.
  • PapyrusUtil -- the 1.5.97 and 1.6.x builds are different downloads. If another mod bundles an older copy, make sure PapyrusUtil wins the file conflict (the file to watch is StorageUtil.dll).
  • Address Library for SKSE Plugins -- needed by the bundled BeeingFemale.dll.

Install the archive with a mod manager (MO2 / Vortex) so the FOMOD installer runs, then make sure BeeingFemale.esm is enabled in your plugin list. SexLab, OStim, Bathing in Skyrim, SlaveTats, and the bundled patches are all optional.

The Mod Does Not Show Up in the MCM?

Work through this list -- it covers nearly every case:

  1. Is BeeingFemale.esm active? Installing the mod adds the files, but the plugin still has to be ticked in your plugin list.
  2. Was it installed through a mod manager? The game files live in a Core subfolder that the FOMOD installer maps into Data. If you extracted the archive by hand and ended up with Data\Core\BeeingFemale.esm, the game never sees it -- install through MO2/Vortex, or copy the contents of Core into Data.
  3. Are you launching through SKSE? Start the game via skse64_loader.exe (sksevr_loader.exe on VR) or the SKSE entry in your mod manager, not the Steam play button.
  4. Do SkyUI and PapyrusUtil match your game version? A wrong-version PapyrusUtil is the most common silent killer. Check which mod wins the conflict on StorageUtil.dll.
  5. Give SkyUI a moment, then force a rescan. New MCM menus can take a minute to register after loading a save. Open and close the journal a few times, save, reload. If it still does not appear, open the console and run setstage SKI_ConfigManagerInstance 1, then close the console and wait for the "Registered new menus" notification.
  6. Remove leftovers of the original Beeing Female. The old LE/SE-ported mod shares script file names; an old copy overriding the NG files breaks loading. Uninstall it completely and ideally test on a save that never had it.
  7. Confirm the SKSE plugin loaded. Look for BeeingFemale.log in Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\SKSE\ (Skyrim VR on VR). If it is missing, open skse64.log (sksevr.log on VR) in the same folder and search for "BeeingFemale" -- it will say why the DLL was rejected (usually a wrong game version or missing Address Library).

If none of that helps, report the issue together with SKSE\BeeingFemale.log (or skse64.log if it is absent) and Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\Logs\Script\Papyrus.0.log -- a missing requirement shows up there as Failed to load script FWSystemConfig or "is not a valid type" lines. See Troubleshooting & Logs for the full log paths and how to enable Papyrus logging.
