Here’s a solid, search-optimized content draft for a blog post, guide, or forum thread addressing the "RaceMenu Error: You are running SKSE version 0000" in Skyrim.

Part 4: Advanced Troubleshooting (If the error persists)

You have followed the steps, but the error remains. Here is what to check next.

7) Test with a clean install

• Temporarily move your Data folder and launch Skyrim with only SKSE and RaceMenu installed to see if the error persists. If it disappears, reintroduce mods until the culprit appears.

Step 2: Launch with SKSE every time

• Do not launch via Steam or the default Skyrim launcher.
• Use your mod manager’s SKSE shortcut, or run skse64_loader.exe as administrator.

The Ultimate Fix: Resolving the "RaceMenu Error – You Are Running SKSE Version 0000" in Skyrim

If you are a modded Skyrim player, you have likely encountered a moment of dread: you launch the game, eager to tweak your character’s appearance, only to be met with a pop-up notification that reads: "RaceMenu Error: You are running SKSE version 0000. Expected version 2.0.7 (or higher). RaceMenu will not work correctly."

Beneath this message is often a plea to "reinstall SKSE64" or check your install path. This error is frustrating, confusing, and has been the bane of both Skyrim Special Edition (SE) and Skyrim Anniversary Edition (AE) modders for years.

Why does it say "0000"? It means Skyrim cannot read your Script Extender (SKSE) version number at all. In this guide, we will break down exactly why this happens, how to fix it permanently, and provide you the definitive "link" to the correct files.
