Welcome to SkyrimCharacterHelper!
I love playing Skyrim, especially exploring the world with different characters is a great pleasure. But as much fun as this is, as much do I hate how the savegame folder
gets flooded with hundreds of files and the annoyance of cleaning this mess up. As a result, I wrote a tool which is able to read Skyrim's savegames (thanks to the
savegame format description given here) and handle them in
a character-centric manner. I hope you find SkyrimCharacterHelper useful. You may also want to check out
the official thread at SkyrimNexus.
Features
SkyrimCharacterHelper is a fully localized Java7 application and offers a clean and reactive UI. All of the settings, especially those concerning the application's layout,
are memorized and restored on next startup. SkyrimCharacterHelper offers the following:
- Copying and moving of savegames or complete characters between Skyrim's character folder and a backup folder
- Deleting of savegames or complete characters
- Sorting the savegame display by character location, character level, date or filename
- Automated conversion of Skyrim's quicksaves and autosaves into regular character savegames while playing Skyrim
- Displaying the savegames' thumbnails and copying them to the system clipboard
- Launching Skyrim "stand-alone" or for a decicated savegame or character
- User-defineable launch target, thereby supporting SKSE and other extenders

TinyJavaTools
This subpage hosts a bunch a tiny java applications I wrote. Currently, there are eight tools available for download. All of them are written in Java, completely
localized and distributed under the BSD Open Source licence. Usually, they were created when I had to deal with a particular annoyance, such as the need to
compute MD5 sums from files or to memorize lots of passwords. To check them out, please follow this link
or click on the image below.
...where size does not matter!
GridLife
SkyrimCharacterHelper is a subpage of my GridLife website. GridLife is a pure Java application
which serves as a virtual lab for John Conway's
cell simulation Game of Life.
It combines an easy-to-use interface with rich functionality and offers - amongst lots of other features - free rule set definition, cell matrix size definition, loading and
saving cell generations and cell patterns, screenshot support and extensive cell painting support. Below, you see GridLife running on my PC under
Windows7. To check them out, please follow this link or click on the image below.

Thanks!
I'd like to thank a lot of people who contributed to the software used for creating SkyrimCharacterHelper: NetBeans,
Better Swing Application Framework,
NotePad++,
Gimp and SimpleScreenshot. And of course, thanks to the guys who gave us Java (JDK 7u2 was used for
development).
Then, I am indepted to Andreas Viklund for creating the design
template I used for this webpage, to James Gill for his wonderful icons
and to FreqMan for the .wav-file, which SkyrimCharacterHelper uses to incidate
the conversion of autosaves and quicksaves.
