SkyrimNet Integration

SkyrimNet is a game modification plugin for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim that brings AI-powered NPC interactions to the game. It uses large language models to generate dynamic dialogue, behaviors, and narrative events, creating a more immersive and responsive game world.

SkyrimNet supports custom LLM endpoints, allowing you to point its AI backend at LLM API for access to a wider range of models.

Prerequisites

An LLM API account with an API key
SkyrimNet installed or accessible

Setup

Get Your LLM API Key

Log in to your LLM API dashboard
Click Create Key to Start
Copy your new API key immediately — it will only be shown once
Store the key securely (e.g., in a password manager or .env file)

LLM API is an OpenAI-compatible gateway that gives you access to dozens of AI models through a single API key and endpoint.

Configure LLM API in SkyrimNet

Locate the SkyrimNet configuration file in your Skyrim mod directory.
Open the config file (typically SkyrimNet.ini or a JSON configuration).
Set the API endpoint and key:
- API URL / Endpoint: https://api.llmapi.ai/v1
- API Key: paste the key you copied from app.llmapi.ai/api-keys
- Model: the model ID you wish to use (e.g., openai/gpt-4o)
Save the configuration file.
Launch Skyrim with SkyrimNet enabled --- AI interactions will now use LLM API.

Test the Integration

Verify that SkyrimNet can successfully communicate with LLM API by sending a test request. All requests will now be routed through LLM API.

Faster models like GPT-4o-mini provide quicker NPC response times for a more fluid gameplay experience.

Benefits of Using LLM API with SkyrimNet

Multi-Provider Access: Use models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more through a single API
Cost Control: Track and limit your AI spending with detailed usage analytics
Unified Billing: One account for all providers instead of managing multiple API keys
Caching: Reduce costs with response caching for repeated requests
