Download FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about downloading and installing the Skyrim Mods Launcher.

Some heuristic-based antivirus engines flag new installers as a precaution, even when they're completely safe. The launcher installer is signed with an Extended Validation (EV) code signing certificate and scanned clean on VirusTotal (71/71 engines) on every release. If you see a warning, click "More info → Run anyway" in Windows SmartScreen.
After clicking the download button, a 20-second countdown begins. Your download should start automatically. If it doesn't, a fallback "click here to download" link will appear below the button once the timer ends. You can also try disabling your browser's pop-up blocker.
No. The v4.2.1 installer performs an in-place upgrade and preserves all your mod profiles, installed mods, and settings. Just run the new installer over the existing version — no data will be lost.
The default path is C:\Program Files\SkyrimMods Launcher. You can change this during installation. Mod files are stored separately in your Documents folder unless you choose a custom mod directory in Settings.
No. The launcher requires Windows 10 (64-bit) or Windows 11. Older Windows versions are not supported because they lack the .NET 4.8 runtime and modern TLS versions needed for secure mod library connections.
Yes. Go to Settings → Mod Library → Change Directory. The launcher will offer to migrate all currently installed mods to the new location automatically. This is useful if you want mods on a faster SSD or a larger drive.
No. The launcher closes itself before launching Skyrim to free up RAM. A lightweight background service (under 5 MB RAM) checks for mod updates periodically but can be disabled in Settings → Updates → Background Check.
Use Windows Settings → Apps → SkyrimMods Launcher → Uninstall. The uninstaller gives you the option to keep or delete your installed mods and profiles. Skyrim itself is never modified by the uninstaller — your game remains intact.
