Guide to removing all 3rd-party mods and other files from your Skyrim installation -- by torminater, wikified by Farlo
- The best way of course is to use your zip file that you made of the Skyrim Directory as you followed the Skyrim Installation Guide, just delete the whole directory and unpack the zip. This is the only method to restore a previous version of Skyrim.
- If you don't have a vanilla zip, its relatively simple but takes a minute depending on your internet speed, first click enable in Skyrim Unplugged if you are using it.
- For a quicker although rougher guide, seeReverting Skyrim to a Pristine (Vanilla) Installation

- The remaining folders in the root Skyrim directory should contain the following number of files (including hidden ones):
- DirectX10: 146 files
- DotNetFX: 1 file
- reslists: 2 files
- Skyrim: 1 file
- VCRedist: 1 file
- In Steam, navigate to the Workshop and unsubscribe from every mod.
- Navigate to My Documents/My Games/Skyrim and delete all files and subdirectories (after making backups of course).
- In Steam, click 'Verify integrity of game cache...' under the Local Files tab in Skyrim's Properties window. This will do a CRC check on every file in the Skyrim directory and download any files that are corrupted or missing. This process may take some time depending on internet speed.
- Launch Skyrim from Steam, thereby creating new INI files. Set your preferred settings in the game launcher.
- Make a full archive/backup of your newly-pristine Skyrim directory so this guide isn't needed in the future.
- If there are any saves you wish to revert to a vanilla status see the Clean Save Procedure in the Troubleshooting guide.
Optional: this procedure ensures that you have a stable Vanilla installation.

I'm not exactly sure about this, so you might want to double check, but couldn't you just drag and drop the 'Scripts' folder into the Data folder of Skyrim? From SKSE's Data folder? User Info: Zukkus. Zukkus 8 years ago #3. Make a Scripts folder? 'I just wasted a bullet. Don't waste your life.' I thought it was a vital component of vanilla.

Skyrim Data Folder Steam
- Start a new game
- Skip through the tutorial level, up to leaving the cave, by ignoring combat or using God Mode (enter 'tgm' in the console).
- (This is just a test, so don't bother setting up your character.)
- Once you've completed the tutorial (when Ralof/Hadvar tells you to head to Riverwood), enter the following in the console:
- 'tmm 1' - Unlocks all map locations
- 'psb' - Unlocks all spells and shouts
- 'player.modav dragonsouls 100' - Gives 100 Dragon Souls
- Activate all your shouts.
- Fast travel to any location you'd like (preferably main cities) and try out various spells and shouts. Basically, give the game a little stress test by wreaking havoc to make sure everything's solid.
