This mod should overwrite ANY mod it conflicts with
If it conflicts with another mod, it's because that mod is trying to bundle this mod with it, and they almost certainly bundled an outdated version that is going to cause you issues.
IMPORTANT: If you are using Skyrim version 1.6+, you must install the AE version of PapyrusUtil and Address Library. It DOES NOT MATTER if you don't have the Anniversary Edition DLC; any version past 1.5.97 is considered AE.
Make sure your Address Library and SKSE64 install are fully up to date.
And as always, make sure no mods are overwriting the up-to-date version of PapyrusUtil with an outdated version (such as Simply Knock and Campfire)
If you are still getting an error message somewhere, try running the default Skyrim launcher once from Steam or directly (via SkyrimSELauncher.exe in the main folder) and then go back to launching with skse and/or your mod manager.
The latest release will ONLY ever be compatible with the newest version released on Steam, currently v1.6.1170. Anything other than that is not supported, and you will have to download an older version of PapyrusUtil that matches your installed version.
Obviously, if you have the GoG version of the game at version 1.6.1179, install the GoG version.
Fairly inexperienced with modding but I've thoroughly read through and followed the instructions/FAQ/comments and various other forums but can't find any solution. Running on skyrim version 1.6.1170 and SKSE version 2.2.6, with the up to date version of the mod (4.6) installed everything runs fine until my save loads, then the framerate drops to 1 fps for a few moments before CTD. If I install 4.5 or below the game runs perfectly but skse logs seem to be disabling the dll breaking the mods dependent on it.
The only logical problems/solutions I've stumbled on have been another mod being packaged with an older version of the PapyrusUtil.dll causing conflicts, but I do not have the mods mentioned in all those cases nor am I able to find any other mod or even other files with any version of the dll inside it.
Could very much use some assistance troubleshooting & solving this, I'm positive it can't be this mod itself and has to be something on my end but no clue where to look or what to try next. Thanks to anyone who took the time to read this :)
PapyrusUtil, papyrustweaks, papyrus extender, po3 tweaks, jcontainers, fiss, UIextensions_fixed - all should be at the bottom of your mod list, so that nothing can ever overwrite their files. Some modders, for some reason, will add files from the aforementioned mods into their crappy armor mod.
Also, get the crash logger mod and use the website to paste in your crash log; it will usually be able to tell you why you are crashing.
I don't know if this will help but, I faced the same problem and after disabling PapyrusUtil SE 1 fps problem disappeared. after some time found out it was a problem with FSMP - Faster HDT-SMP. tried downloading an older version of that and it finally fixed the problem.
Hi, for a few days I've been receiving an error message when installing Papayrus Utility. The fact is that it was already installed and it was working, then while I was playing the power went out and it hasn't worked since then. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but it keeps appearing. What can I do?
I ASK FOR HELP!!!For two days now I have been struggling with an error where Ostim cannot work normally, it writes an error that PapyrusU is outdated and overwrites OSA files with older ones and asks me to move PapyrusU to MO lower, while I have all the latest versions: game version Special Edition 1.6.1170, PapirusU 4.6, Ostim 5.7, OSA 11.0. I've already tried a billion options, but it didn't help at all. Please help
First, It's an ostim thing, sounds like it is doing a version check and if it is not what ostim expects so it says papyrusUtil is outdated, even if it is not. Ask the ostim guys to update.
2nd, just thought it was funny you were asking for Ostim support on this page!
it is needed as a requirement for several mods. If it is stated in the requirement that you need it, you need to install it, otherwise you don't need it. Make sure to install the right version for your game, good luck!
Too people who are having Dll problems. Manually download PapyrusUtil, open it then go to the folder where the up to date Dll is located at, then go to where you skyrim folder is, find the PapyrusUtil mod, find where the Dll is, and drag the new one in to overwrite the old one to be able to play the game again.
If you're getting "PAPYRUS UTILS OUTDATED VERSION USE PAPYRUS UTILS VR" make sure the VR version is set to load after any other mods (look under P in Manage Rules in Vortex), as the author stated. I tried it once and it didn't seem to work, so I did the purge option in Vortex (it's non-destructive), redeployed, set Papy to load last again, and that fixed it.
It happened out of nowhere, so I think it was from when I temporarily changed Vortex to run as admin, before figuring out that messes up manually dragging in mods, and switched it back. It messed up my Fallout 4 VR too, which was also fixed by purge redeploy.

I'm begging you!!
God send.
