These mods are considered “core” because many of the other mods rely on them.

This list is only relevant to Skyrim Special Edition. If you see out of date or missing information, please help out by editing this article. This page serves as a list of the known native code mods and the compatibility information for each. As a result of these dependencies, many of these mods are likely to require an update each time the game (or SKSE) is updated.

These mods are often tightly tied to the game executable version, the Skyrim Script Extender version or both. As well as conventional mods, it is possible for mod authors to create “native code” mods that hook into the core game processes and unlock additional functionality which is not normally available through the Creation Engine.
