🎯 Tips & Tricks
If you're a mod author, integrate FISSES into your scripts by following the included documentation—it's designed to be simple.
Make sure your users have SKSE64 installed, as FISSES relies on it to function.
For players, you don't need to install this manually—it comes as a dependency with mods that use it, so just let your mod manager handle it.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing without checking requirements
👍 Pros
- Massive community trust: 52,067 endorsements and 7.2 million downloads—this is the go-to for config saving.
- Simple API for modders: drop-in solution for saving MCM settings without reinventing the wheel.
- Stable and mature: last updated in 2022, but still widely used, proving it works reliably.
👎 Cons
- Not updated since September 2022—might have compatibility issues with the latest Skyrim updates or newer modding frameworks.
- Requires Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE) and its dependencies, which can be a hurdle for mod authors new to scripting.
- As a modder's resource, it offers no direct gameplay content—end users won't see any benefit unless they use mods that depend on it.
