Should I update to AE ?

[EFHT]

I didn't play Skyrim for long time. What version does SE community mainly use?SE or AE??

[Gukahn]

avoid AE like the plague as someone once mentioned and be happy with SE as it works and the mods doing really well for LE And SE. I don't Follow the AE development but i just asume it still has mods that aren't updated for it and are must haves for many users.

(nobody needs Fishing in their game. Honestly.. If i wanna play things like fishing in a game i play Zelda.. At least there it's fun)  Every now and then someone asks this question, just take a look at the support threads and count the number of problems listed only from AE User. Speaks for itself.

Thank you for reply.I just worry about compatibility.Actually SE is good enough for me .Happy to know community still mainly use SE and i don't need reinstall my mod list.

And of course, I don't care about fishing in skyrim.Not my thing.?

Problem are SKSE based mods, .dll. Mods that go into data/SLSE/Plugins folder. Same have been ported to AE, some not. YMMV.

 

The rest is not a problem.

 

Me: not all SKSE based mods that I use have been ported. For same I found an alternative(different mod that does the same thing). But not for all. So I'm still on SE.

 

Check whats in your data/SLSE/Plugins folder. Which SKSE mods you use? If you find replacement, go fo AE, if not, then don't.

If your setup is working fine then NO. There is no reason to. Also some mods hasn't been update to AE yet.

ooh just the topic I was looking for, I just got a new pc. Should I be using one of those downgrade patchers on nexus to lower it from version 1.6 to 1.5?

Unless you use iFPV/Improved Camera (1st person mods), there's little reason now to stay on SE.

 

I run a fairly SL/script heavy installation with some mods that haven't even converted from LE (i.e. custom conversions), but at this point the only non-compatible mod I'm waiting on is Improved Camera.

 

iFPV isn't getting an update, but Improved Camera is in the next few months, at which point I plan to switch over.

That's highly dependent on each user modlist. Out of the 83 mods using a dll I have atm, 24 are not compatible with AE. And most likely some mods won't be updated at all, so it would need to be updated by someone else or replaced by a different mod.

 

No, there is no reason to update to 1.6+/AE. You can still use all the CC stuff if you do a partial downgrade and the amount of mods that only work on 1.5.97 is way higher than the amount of mods that only work on 1.6+. And yes, there will be a point at which staying on 1.5.97 won't be recommended because more mods will be updated and released for 1.6+ only, but it is not this day.

Wow this all sounds very confusing. I thought i had a good plan in my head after downgrading skyrim to 1.5 se. Then the first thing i see on Nexus is the unofficial patch for se description page in huge red letters says it requires 1.6 or higher. I was like fuck.. 

 

I think I was expecting every page on nexus to have multiple downloads for older versions. But ya ill keep lookin into it.

[Just Don't]

You can use the latest USSEP version if you did a partial downgrade (the ~300mb instead of the ~3gb patcher file).

You must use the corresponding version of every single mod with a dll for your specific game and SKSE version.

 

Either way you'll have to read the mod description, file info, changelog, etc.

[kralgar1]

Yup its gonna be rough starting from scratch again on this new pc!!  Oh and i did use the 3gb patcher so apparently im making lotta mistakes early lol. Also not sure if you saw the 2 edited lines i added but i was mistakin on fuz ro -silent voice being a requirement of sexlab. its actually a requirement of one of the mods i really want to add which is radiant prostitution.

 Waiiit i just checked Fuz ro dah - silent voice for SE and it requires 1.6 too. This is a requirment of sexlab. Now im wayyy confused.

 

Unofficial patch for 1.5

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/266?tab=files&file_id=209150

 

Fuz Ro D-oh also has older version you can download. For version 1.5 just pick the latest before nov 2021. 

[Just Don't]

You can use the full one if you want, you'll be 100% pre-AE patches so you might lose a few mods using the 4 free CC things 1.6+ gave to everyone. And maybe you'll have to use a previous version of USSEP for safe measure.

 

Fuz Ro Doh 1.7 is what I use for game 1.5.97 and SKSE 2.0.20. Some mod files are easier to understand and tell apart than other. Fuz Ro Doh in particular has the version info in the changelog, but no, not the actual changelog you can expand that most nexusmods have at the top of the mod page, it's in the manually written changelog in a spoiler at the end of the mod description. Others are way easier and have it written in the file info so you can 100% confirm the file you need is the one you're about to download.

Wow thanks everybody! I might actually have a skeleton of a nicely modded game up and running soon with this info and links.

 

Err I may have more questions. This isnt even my thread. Cool if keep askin here?  Ill make it less spammy by taking a day or two to get confused on which older versions of things i need and do 1 bigger post. As Inga Rasen pointed out Nov 2021 is when anniversay update came? Ill definatly see if mods have old versions from before then.

This is actually more for dll files that are not compatible with 1.6 (AE)

So if a mod doesn't has a dll file that goes into skse plugins, you should be fine installing the latest up to date version. Unless mod author tells otherwise. 

Fuz ro doh is a skse plugin wich requires the correct skse.
