How can I get the Steam overlay on Skyrim, if I am using the SKSE.exe to launch the game?

Question

I am playing Skyrim modded, and would like to have the Steam overlay in the game, so that I can chat with users and such.

I have purchased the game and activated it in Steam, but since I am launching through SKSE.exe, I cannot launch it through Steam. Or, is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

Answer

On the bottom left of steam there is a button that says 'Add a game' simply click that, select 'none Steam game' and find the 'SKSE.exe' which should be in your root Skyrim directory. Name it whatever you'd like, doesn't matter. When you launch it via Steam it will start Skyrim using SKSE. However all the steam stats will be added to the official Skyrim game in Steam. So everything works as it should!
