In fact, it's quickly become one of the absolute must-haves no matter if you're playing vanilla Skyrim or not. You have to download the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch.

To install the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch, drag it into the Skyrim Data folder, as well as using LOOT to determine the optimal load order so you don't crash your game constantly, much like most Skyrim mods.
