Hello Dev, are you tired of playing Skyrim alone? Do you want to experience the game with your friends? If so, you’re in the right place. In this article, we will guide you on how to host a Skyrim Together server, so you and your friends can play the game together. Let’s get started!

Introduction

Skyrim Together is a mod that allows players to play Skyrim together online. The mod is designed to be easy to use, and anyone can host a server with just a few steps. However, hosting a Skyrim Together server can be intimidating, especially for those who don’t have experience with server hosting. In this guide, we will break down the process into simple steps and provide tips to ensure a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience.

What You Will Need

Before we begin, let’s go over what you will need to host a Skyrim Together server.

Now that you have everything you need let’s move on to the next step.

Step 1: Port Forwarding

The first step to hosting a Skyrim Together server is to port forward your router. Port forwarding is the process of opening a port on your router, which allows incoming traffic to access your computer. Without port forwarding, other players won’t be able to connect to your server.

To port forward your router, you will need to access your router settings. The process for accessing your router settings varies depending on the router you have. You can find instructions on how to access your router settings on the manufacturer’s website.

Once you have accessed your router settings, find the port forwarding section. In this section, you will need to add a new port forwarding rule for the port that Skyrim Together uses. The default port for Skyrim Together is 10578.

FAQ

Q: What if I can’t find the port forwarding section on my router?

A: If you can’t find the port forwarding section on your router, you can try searching for your router model on Port Forward. This website provides step-by-step instructions for port forwarding on many router models.

Q: What if my ISP blocks the port I need to use?

A: If your ISP blocks the port you need to use, you will need to contact your ISP and request that they unblock the port. Some ISPs may charge an additional fee for this service.

Step 2: Configure Skyrim Together

After port forwarding your router, the next step is to configure Skyrim Together. Launch Skyrim and go to the Skyrim Together menu. In this menu, select “Host Server” and configure the server settings.

You can set the server name, password, maximum players, and other settings. We recommend setting a password to prevent unwanted players from joining your server. You can also choose to enable or disable mods for your server.

FAQ

Q: Can I use mods on my server?

A: Yes, you can use mods on your server. However, all players who join your server must have the same mods installed to avoid conflicts.

Q: What server settings should I use?

A: The server settings you use depend on your personal preferences. We recommend setting a password and limiting the maximum number of players to ensure a smooth gaming experience.

Step 3: Invite Players

After configuring your server, the final step is to invite players to join your server. Share your server name and password with your friends, and they can join your server through the Skyrim Together menu.

Once your friends have joined your server, you can begin playing Skyrim together.

FAQ

Q: How many players can join my server?

A: The maximum number of players that can join your server depends on the server settings you chose. By default, the maximum number of players is 8.

Q: Can I play on my own server?

A: Yes, you can play on your own server. However, we recommend playing with other players to experience the full potential of Skyrim Together.
