In this video I cover how to add support for Nvidia DLSS / DLAA, AMD FSR & Intel XeSS in Skyrim Special Edition using the Skyrim Upscaler mod.
This mod requires using the Skyrim Special Edition script extender, meaning it will only work with the Steam version of Skyrim Special Edition, and not the version included as part of Microsoft Game Pass.
Step 1. Install Skyrim Special Edition Script Extender (SKSE).
http://skse.silverlock.org/
You can download the latest version of SKSE from the official website, just make sure that you choose the correct version for your installation.
Once the download has finished, extract the archive, take a copy of the files and folders inside the extracted folder and paste these files and folders into the game’s installation directory.
In most cases, this will be located at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition
I recommend creating a shortcut to the skse64_loader.exe file so you can load the game with the script extender enabled.
Step 2. Install Dependencies & Chose an Upscaling Method.
The Skyrim Upscaler mod has some dependencies that need to be installed for it to work.
The first is Address Library for SKSE Plugins mod

This can be installed automatically using Vortex Mod Manager if you click on the Mod Manager Download link on the Files page.
The second dependency is the Upscaler Base Plugin mod, which needs to be installed manually.

On the Files page, click the Manual Download option.
After the download has finished, extract the archive, and move the UpscalerBasePlugin folder to Data\UpscalerBasePlugin.
The final dependency is your upscaling technology, either DLSS, FSR or XeSS.
The download links for all these libraries at located at the bottom of the Description on the UpscalerBasePlugin mod page.
In either case, once you have downloaded and extracted the required libraries, and copy the DLLs inside the UpscalerBasePlugin folder.
Step 3. Install The Skyrim Upscaler Mod.

The Skyrim Upscaler mod can be installed automatically using Vortex Mod Manager if you click on the Mod Manager Download link on the Files page.
Step 4. Turn Off TAA and DOF.
Make sure to disable both TAA and DOF in Skyrim's graphic settings as this will blur the input for the upscalers.
At this point, everything is installed and ready to go.
Step 5. Using The Skyrim Upscaler Mod.
Whilst in game, if you press the END key, it will bring up the Skyrim Upscaler Settings menu.
From here, you can enable or disable the upscaling, sharpen the image, or select the Upscaling Type you wish to apply.
