Lost in Skyrim SSE

[Redflyingmonkey]

Hi, so i couldn't find answers to my quest. I went away for a few years and decided to come back to skyrim, but in the meantime, Skyrim SSE came up. I'm simply wondering if i should just get rid of SSE and go back to classic Skyrim for easier mod support, or if y'all are modding for SSE now and i should just start from scratch ? 

In short : will i be able to recreate the Skyrim i had 4 years ago, with the enb and all, in skyrim SSE, or is this a PG redo  of the game made for consoles ? 

Thanks guys. 

 

Edit : Wow i put this in general discussion ... Any moderator kind enough to move me to Skyrim ?

Nobody knows that but you. Check if the mods you used before are available on SSE. A lot of LE mods have been ported, others have been replaced with new similar mods. This topic should be a good start, but you will have to do the job and check most of the content manually.

Why on Earth would you want to recreate an "Oldrim" install on SSE?

 

The modding community is very, very active for SSE. Most mods have been converted from LE and a plethora of new mods has been created as well. Most SexLab mods have also been converted or are easy to convert yourself.

 

As far as I have noticed: SSE is much more stable than LE ever was, even without mods. But, it is still Skyrim. Most quirks have been ironed out by mods.

Have a look at the SSE Conversion Tracking post and see if the mods you find essential are converted (though it is mainly aimed at SL mods). Also have a look at the Nexus SSE. Maybe follow an install guide from the Nexus. (I am partial to the Nordic Skyrim one atm. Just pick and choose what you want)

 

Ultimately it all comes down to personal preference. But personally I see no reason to not at least try SSE out before deciding if you want to delete SSE and go back to LE.

and trust me: it most definitely is not a PG redo

Thank you for answering ! Also, I've seen the SSE conversion tracking post, my question was more of a modding question. I like to create content here, and I'm wondering if SSE allows as much tweaking as Oldrim (just learned the new name, it's funky), allowed. As in, HDT-PE works on it ? Can I use the old Face Editor, the same SKSE plugins as in LE ? If i spend hours modding SE, will i achieve the kind of crazy graphics you could create with well organized mods 3 years ago ? 

 

I don't have a "feel" of how SSE looks when modded by a loverslab member, I like my characters shiny, my skyrim filled with sexual content AND "proper" mods. Kinda sceptic to how SSE looks on youtube videos, looks like a vanilla Skyrim with better textures to me, as if the modding scene went back 6 years in one go. Is it like this or not ? Could you show me some screenshots before I start making animations and code for a game I won't play ? 

 

Thank you again you guys. 

 

PS : Thank you too moderator for moving my post to the correct thread

many of us are sticking with LE/classic, but if you want to use SSE then the Conversion Tracking thread is the place to be.

 

but do note that most of the mod updates on LL are made for LE first and then get ported to SE later, also the CrapClub updates tend to kill everything that uses SKSE every few months.

Thanks, that was the answer I was looking for. Will make the change in a year or two. Back to 32bits and chaotic CTDs Oldrim it is then, oh the nostalgia !

SSE is a bitch to deal with, Eg: meshes are a common problem because SSE is super fucking picky about them, any small errors will crash the game or spaghettifie the mesh.

SSE has a different HDT system than SLE, they are not compatible.

i assume no, because meshes.

no, it needs it's own version (it's on the same download page as the SLE one)

if your talking about HKX files they need to be converted to work in SSE (there's a program for that)

[Redflyingmonkey]

Holy shite, so basically you can't do shit, if you try to you'll need twice the work ? Hell nah. 

Also I can't touch this game without HDT PE, I just saw the physics system for SSE and this is sad. We spent 3 years trying to make HDT-PE work for it to become almost impossible to implement in SSE. 
Converting HKX files is a pain too. I think i'm thoroughly convinced to keep SSE for SFW playing. People are still modding for Oldrim right ? It's not just a few guys modding and the rest converting ?

opinions on that will vary, my own is "can't do shit" but you should still try for yourself to see if that's actually the case for you.

some people like the new one more, apparently it's easier to make stuff for it.

actually it's easy to do, so it's not really a problem (and FNIS checks to make sure they are in the right format)

You mean clothes ? How about the other things HDT-PE used to do, can they do it with the new one ?

EDIT : I think I was too posh, I forgot I was on sexlab and could speak openly, here i go : if a properly rigged character's vagina gets destroyed by a 8 inches dicked orc in my game, will the collision work as it used to, and go full hentai with belly, vaginal and butt collision and friction ?

Wow, 4 years since I last made a sentence like this, feels FUCKING GREAT.

 

That and Racemenu, with the very high poly meshes, Citrus Head it was called I think is this still a thing ?

 

Also, last question before I stop bugging you, let's say I make a mod that needs SKSE, like a real-time physical modifier in a scripted scene, could I do that with SSE's SKSE ?

don't know, i'm too deep into creature mods to care about human meshes.

i'm a Dragon fucker animator, not a scripter, so i don't know about that stuff.

Wait Dragon Fucker ? Did you change name ? I forgot your old one but you made more nasty critters right ? I rigged one of your dragons' dicks to HDT-PE man ahaha

Thanks for all the answers.

are you sure it was one of mine? according to your post you left the site around the time i started to work on meshes (and a year before i started animating)

[Redflyingmonkey]

I thought you were dentarr ! Didn't know he left, I made a rig for his mesh then (was a prototype for dragon's dicks I believe, with HDT it used to stretch characters belly to hilarious proportions). We also had a ahegao mod in the works with another dude, that we wanted to make especially for this and integrate in Sexlab, but facial animations in Skyrim... Yeah... Imma finish it this time, I saw a new code to equip some items during targeted scenes, I can add the tongue from that chinese modder and voilà, ahegao dragon fucking with belly collision !

he stopped working on MNC at the end of 2015 (around the same time that SLAL was released), but once in a while he shows up for a bit before disappearing again.

that mesh (that was made by Eternal Black) is no longer used by anyone (at least not in it's original form), and olebronkosrak has SOS based dicks in there "Animal SOS" mod + it's probably just a matter of time before factoryclose goes off and dose there own thing in there "Animated Beast's Cocks" mod.
