EDIT: FIXED BY REMOVING «CraftingMenu.swf» from Data/Interface folder.
I recently reinstalled the entire game (after full uninstall: remove game folders, documents folders, appdata, everything) and moved to Vortex from NMM. I installed around 200 mods and started the game, and haven’t been able to run SkyUI even once. It shows the «CraftingMenu» or «MessageBox» errors. I even deleted the *.swf files from Data/Interface and re-downloaded SkyUI, but I still can’t get it to work. I reinstalled SKSE64 as well. I use BethINI (potato laptop) and some forums suggested to unlock the 60 fps thing. I did. I tried in both FullScreen and Borderless Windowed mode. I even started a new game, and still can’t get rid of the SkyUI Error Code 5. Please help 
.

SKYUI is a user-friendly mod of Skyrim that offers a better UX for PC users because of its ease of use via mouse and keyboard. However, after installing this mod, often users face SKYUI Error Code 5 while playing Skyrim. This error code shows that some file is overriding SKYUI and it mostly occurs while opening the favorites, map, and skill menu.
This Skyrim mod error (code 5) also occurs if you open charms, inventory, or preferred maps while playing Skyrim. However, in these cases, the error occurs with variations. So, let’s see all the variation messages of this error code first.
Use-Cases for SKYUI Error Code 5
Apart from the scenarios we’ve discussed so far, users have faced this error message in various other scenarios.
- Users have faced this error code while installing Amazon Follower Tweaks and German Translation mods via Nexus Mod Manager. After installing these two mods, the SKYUI suddenly stopped working and was presented with the following error messages.
SKYUI error code 5 inventorymenu.swf
- After downloading every mod, users have faced this error code while trying to open the map.
- People have faced this error code by opening the quick map or menu after installing the game.
- Users have faced the SKYUI swf error code 5 after playing the game for 5-10 minutes. In this case, the menu of SKYUI keeps breaking and changing to vanilla. So, the system has shown the following error message for this case.
SKYUI error code 5 favorites menu.swf
- On trying to install SKYUI 5.1, when users launch SKSE, the SKYUI shows up in the MCM, but they can’t open the inventory. Instead, the SKYUI gives an incompatible files error message with the following files.
skyui/bottombar.swf skyui/inventorylists.swf skyui/inventorymenu.swf skyui/itemcard.swf
Why Does SKYUI Error Code 5 Occur
So far, we’ve discussed different use cases regarding the SKYUI Error Code 5. However, the reasons for the occurrence of this error code are mostly the same in all use cases. So, let’s see the most common reasons for the occurrence of this error message.
- The most common reason for the occurrence of this error code is when a file overrides the SKYUI.
- By default, the interface runs at 30FPS. But when users use the 60FPS mod, it forces the interface to run at 60FPS, which creates conflicts with the favorites menu, maps, and Skill.
- If you don’t have a master file, then this error code might occur. Because when a user tries to start the match via the mods menu, SKYUI becomes disabled. So, the system shows this error code.
Now, you have a basic understanding of when and why this error code occurs. So, let’s move to the fixes of the error message.
How to Fix SKYUI Error Code 5
Pre-requisites: For Users who have Installed Map/Inventory Mods
Before we get to the main fixes of this error message, you can try this bonus fix and check whether this resolves your issue or not. However, if you’ve installed map/inventory mods, then you should apply this bonus fix (only).
- If you’ve faced this error code after installing inventory mods or maps like Glue Map Markers, Pastel Map Markers, QD Inventory SSE, etc., then searching and unchecking the warnings in MCM and Data Interface folder is your best option. This way, you can find and delete the corrupted files.
- Similarly, you can also disable the ‘Favorites’ menu from the settings in the mod manager section.
But if these tips didn’t resolve your issue, then let’s get to the main solutions.
1. Removing the Problematic File
If you didn’t install the maps or inventory mods, but you’ve found some culprit files in MCM, then you can try cutting off the MCM. So, apply the following steps to fix this error code via cutting off the MCM Menu.
- First, you’ll go to the ‘Skyrim Directory.’
- Then, you’ll tap on the ‘Data’ folder and you’ll see an entry named ‘Interface.’ So, you’ll select this entry.
- Here, you’ll search for the file (with .swf extension) that has appeared in your error message. For example, your file will be like ‘inventorymeny.swf’ or ‘favoritemenu.swf.’
- Once you’ve found the required file, then you’ll cut that file.
Note: You can also delete the file that appeared in your error message
Note: If you’ve deleted the file, then you don’t need to follow the next step
- After this, you’ll create an ‘interface backup’ folder (anywhere in your system) and paste the (cut) file into that folder.
Check whether this method has fixed the error code or not. If it has, then good for you, otherwise go to the next solution.
2. Uninstalling the 60FPS Mod
As I’ve mentioned earlier that the 60FPS mod causes conflicts, therefore, if you’re using this mod, then uninstalling that mod will fix this error message.
- First, you’ll navigate to the following address on your PC.
NexusModManager /Skyrim/Mods
- Then, you’ll look for a zip file named ‘60 FPS Interface Mod’ and select it.
- After selecting the zip file, you’ll delete that file.
- Then, you’ll delete the entire ‘SKYUI’ and reinstall it.
- Lastly, you should update the ‘Skyrim Script Extender’ to its latest version. So, you can head over to the following link for downloading the latest version.

Hopefully, this method will resolve the SKYUI ERROR CODE 5. But if this didn’t prove useful, then reinstalling the game completely is your last resort.

No matter what mods you use, you’ll often find them causing problems especially when they interact with other mods. SkyUI is no exception and it too causes some errors.
For those who don’t know, SkyUI is a user-friendly mod of Skyrim that offers better UX services for PC users through the ease of using a mouse and keyboard. However, a lot of times users experience “SkyUI Error Code 5” while playing Skyrim. This error code shows that a file is overriding SkyUI, and it often happens when you open a map, skill menu, or favorites.
This error code may also arise when you try to open inventory, charms or preferred maps while playing Skyrim. However, in these cases, you get the ‘SkyUI Error Code 5 incompatible menu file’ message with variations. Let’s see what those various scenarios can be:
- Users have encountered the error message ‘SKYUI error code 5 inventorymenu.swf’ which causes SkyUI to suddenly stop working after installing Amazon Follower Tweaks or German Translation mods via Nexus Mod Manager.
- Some users have faced issues after downloading the mod when they are shown the error code once they try to open the map. It can either be the quick map or the menu. In this case, the error message that the system shows is ‘SKYUI error code 5 favorites menu.swf’.
What causes the SkyUI Error Code 5?
Now that we have spoken about some common messages that players are shown when trying to use this mod, let’s talk about what triggers this error. There are a few reasons why the Error Code 5 shows up, and it’s more or less the same no matter what error message you receive.
- One of the most recurring reasons for this error is when the SkyUI is being overridden by other files.
- By default, the game interface runs at 30FPS, and if any user tries to use the 60FPS mod, this creates conflicts with the favorites menu, maps, and other features of the game.
- Another common reason for this issue is the lack of master file set in the SkyUI. When you don’t have this master document and you try to start the match via the mods menu, SkyUI becomes disabled.
So what can you do to fix this error code? Let’s discuss a couple of methods.
Before we start discussing the main fixes, here is a trick for those who have installed inventory mods or maps.
- First, you need to make sure that you got the error code after you tried to download either inventory mods such as QD Inventory SS, or maps like Pastel Map Markers. If yes, then search for the warnings in the Data Interface folder and MCM, and then uncheck them. This will help you delete all corrupted files.
- Similarly, you can go to settings in the mod manager section, and click to disable the ‘Favorites’ menu.
If these tips have not solved your problem, let’s move on to the main solutions.
Fix 1: Discard the Corrupted File
This solution will work best if you were not downloading inventory mods or maps, yet still found an issue in the MCM files. What you need to do in this case is get rid of the MCM files and here is how you can do it:
1) Go to the Skyrim Directory.
2) Browse for the Data folder, click on it, and then choose the Interface entry.
3) Search for the file with the .swf extension that has appeared in your error message. For example, the file will be called ‘favouritemenu.swf’ or ‘inventorymenu.swf’.
4) After you’ve found the required file, just cut that file.
5) Once you have done that, create a folder for ‘interface backup’ and paste the previously cut file into it.
Check to see if this method has fixed the error code for you. If it has, then congrats, otherwise move on to the next solution.
Fix 2: Uninstall your 60FPS Mod
As stated above, a 60FPS mod will cause issues as it forces the interface to run at 60FPS. In this case, you have to uninstall the mod to get rid of the error. For this:
1) Navigate to the following address on your PC:
NexusModManager /Skyrim/Mods
2) Look for a zip file named ‘60FPS Interface Mod’ and click to delete it.
3) Next, delete the entire SkyUI and reinstall it.
4) Lastly, update the ‘Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE)’ to its latest version. You can download the latest version of this tool from here.
