Yamashi, who has worked on the project since the release of Skyrim in 2011, told Eurogamer: "We did not steal anything. The lead programmer of Skyrim Together is known as "Yamashi". Skyrim Together adds online multiplayer to Bethesda's fantasy RPG. "I think it's setting a terrible standard that is bad for the mod community," Patterson told Eurogamer. This accusation sent shockwaves around the Skyrim modding community, with subreddits packed with posts hitting out at the Skyrim Together team. It was code copied directly from SKSE with some very minor modifications."
"After the post went up, I was able to examine the loader source code and found it was exactly as my analysis showed.

dll in notepad, then search for 'skse' to find tons of hits," he said. In a follow-up interview with Eurogamer, Patterson said the copying of the code was "blatant". Modder Ian "extrwi" Patterson, who has led the script extender projects since Oblivion Script Extender back in 2006, took to the Skyrim Mods subreddit to accuse Skyrim Together of using code from SKSE and failing to disclose it. The script extender projects are tools that improve the scripting languages built into Bethesda's games, adding new functionality and letting modders do things that weren't possible with the vanilla engine. The recent controversy revolves around an accusation the Skyrim Together mod "steals" code from Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE).
