The skyui error code 5:
The skyui is a mod that is used for enhancing the user interface of Skyrim. This mod basically makes the interface more suitable for a keyboard and mouse and the screen on the computer is free. But many users who have already installed this mod are facing the issue mentioned above which is error code 5. The most common reason for this issue is a file that overrides skyui.

Delete the .swt files:
- This piece of advice is for those who are using NMM, or MO. Here are some instructions that you should follow for doing it:
- Open the data of the mod and then click on Interface.
- There you will find *.swf files. Deleting those files will fix this issue.
- This trick will not work for those who have the newer version of SkyUI. Here are the instructions to do it on the newer version:

But when you have installed this mod it can conflict with the other features like skills, maps, and other features like the main menu. You can uninstall this mod to fix the skyui error code 5. Here are the instructions that you should follow to do it:
