Requirements
Hosting a Skyrim Together Reborn server requires a few things. First of all, you need to own a copy of the game on PC. Secondly, you need to have a decent internet connection with a minimum upload speed of 2 Mb/s. Lastly, you need to download the Skyrim Together Reborn mod from their official website.
Here’s a checklist of everything you’ll need:
| Requirement | Description |
|---|---|
| PC | A computer capable of running Skyrim |
| Internet Connection | Minimum upload speed of 2 Mb/s |
| Skyrim Together Reborn mod | Downloaded from official website |
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Port Forwarding
The first step in hosting your own Skyrim Together Reborn server is configuring your router to forward the necessary ports. This step is essential as it allows your router to send incoming traffic to the correct device on your network, which in this case, is your PC hosting the server.
You may need to refer to your router’s manual for specific instructions on how to configure port forwarding. However, the following table lists the required ports that need to be forwarded:
| Port Number | Description |
|---|---|
| 10578 | TCP/UDP |
| 10579 | TCP/UDP |
Once you’ve forwarded the ports, move on to the next step.
Step 2: Installing the Skyrim Together Reborn mod
Next, you need to download and install the Skyrim Together Reborn mod. You can download it from their official website at https://www.skyrim-together.com/.
After downloading the mod, extract the files to your Skyrim installation directory. The default directory for Steam users is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition.
Step 3: Configuring the Server
Now that the mod is installed, it’s time to configure your server settings. Navigate to your installation directory and open the file named st_server.cfg in a text editor.
Here’s an example of what the file looks like:
[General] hostname = My Skyrim Server gamemode = sandbox max_players = 8 password = MyPassword123 [Network] tick_rate = 60 port = 10578
You can edit the settings to your liking, but here’s a brief explanation of what each setting does:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| hostname | The name of your server that will be displayed in the server browser |
| gamemode | The game mode that the server will run |
| max_players | The maximum number of players that can join your server |
| password | The password required to join your server |
| tick_rate | The number of times the server updates per second |
| port | The port number that the server will use to listen for incoming connections |
Save the file and exit the text editor.
Step 4: Running the Server
Finally, it’s time to run your own Skyrim Together Reborn server. Simply double-click on the file named ServerLauncher.exe in your installation directory to start the server.
If everything is set up correctly, your server will appear in the server browser, and players can join using the IP address of the computer hosting the server.
