Skyrim or Skyrim SE ?

[cleanmean]

Should I mod oldrim or special edition?

[Gukahn]

Not again! DUDE really. This Question got asked just last week for the quadrillionst time. Just google,look whats exclusive for the one version and make up your own mind. Sorry but.. Really

[spoonsinger]

There is only Zuul!

While I strongly agree with Gukahn (this question is old and common), at least @cleanmean added a poll. I have to admit that I am curious what the results will be (including just how many people actually take the time to vote).

The poll always shows up at the very beginning of the Thread so it's easy to find (back arrow). For instance, at this moment 16 people have taken the poll with 5 for LE and 11 for AE.

11 for AE

 

Hm. For me it shows 11 votes for SE. ?

True, but I "fixed" it (just as I changed "Skyrim" to "LE") since getting and playing SE (as opposed to SE) is getting harder and harder.

If you're making mods, it's generally easier to port from Oldrim to SSE than to backport.

That I would not say. The question is; what kind of mod?  SKSE to SKSE64 or back is the problem, the rest can be solved.

Had SSE looked like this on 64bit, then I would be singing a different tune. But we all know their developing skills would take 20 years to reach this level.

Mod which ever you want. The approval of others shouldn't matter.

I've modded both, but I have several years invested in oldrim, so I'm partial to it. While SE is generally easier and more new mods are being made for it, I always end up going back to oldrim, simply because my oldrim mod list is perfectly stable after hours and hours of patching and fine tuning over the years. There are also a lot of great old mods I can't be bothered to port to SE.

 

All that said... If you're new to modding, I would highly recommend starting out with SE and if your rig can handle it, jump straight into BHUNP as a female body replacer.

My problem with SkyrimSE is that some mods I really like are not working well on it.

Skyrim Enhanced Camera, now under another name...However in SE it causes crashes.

Heels, there are mods that work on LE that adjust height even when in bed, Misc Heels Fixes does fix this and it also introduces crashes found that out with Netscriptframework SkyrimSE which keeps track of crashes.

 

There are of course alternatives but these dont work as well as in LE version.

 

There have been a few other mods as well.

However I do enjoy using some of the new mods on SE version that are not present in LE so there is that.

You Americans just can't help it with the voter fraud thing, can you?

NO! And why should we? We learned from the best!!!

Skyrim SSE for me. I just get better results personally. More stability and being able to use high resolution textures and such. I personally can't do that in oldrim as it leads to a inevitable crash. I know the common defense in that regard is "Well you did something wrong" But I mean its a texture. You put it in your data folder. Theres really nothing to do wrong with it. Skyrim on my PC just can't handle it unless its SSE. Perhaps i am missing something or some fix or memory patch, but even still I prefer SSE. My only real gripe is the updates. Thankfully there is a downgrader and most modders are nice enough to include a SE and AE version of there mod now. I think the only major one that doesnt is the people behind USSEP. But thankfully the new version works so far with the SE version of the game and its somewhat easy to find a earlier version of USSEP.

There's almost zero reason to play LE now days when SSE just runs *so* much better and has way better mods.  Now the real divide is between SE and AE which split the player base yet again

Nope. This comes from an SE User: I had an LE Game way back that run pretty well. At least animation wise and people are able to make it look damn hot in skyrim if their Pc can handle it. Also still mods being made for LE and some great ones never got converted cause nobody were able to (or got converted but don't work that well. Sometimes, converting is not enough or easy. Otherwise we all would do it).

It's really a matter of "What do ya want" and how much time you can put in the setup. SE is just faster do mod and has ESL´s which are why i choose SE.^^

Wrong again, everyone who played the game before it came out hates AE, everyone who is an Elder scrolls fan this past decade doesn't understand why it even exist. Everyone else just tries to finally get it to work ? think the division is more about mod packs then Game Version in this case. 

 

Hope you don't take my writing the wrong way tho ^^

Dont know why there are people making claims that there is no reason to play SkyrimLE when I only just started playing SE this year and I am well aware of a number of mods that just dont work as well on SE, had to look for alternatives.

 

Also proper first person might not be important for some people but I often used it on LE.

Proper heel height fix mod also likely not important to all people that play Skyrim, often used it.

Devious Devices mods, there are more of them and more of them work better on LE than on SE, not everyone plays with those but I often used some of them.

 

I also provided proper ports of some mods here on Loverslab to SkyrimSE just only a few months ago....Those mods of course worked fine on LE, and sure maybe it wont find its way into everyones load order not everyone has such good taste in mods as I do afterall  , I kid I kid.  Point is that there are a lot of mods that have not been properly or even ported over to SkyrimSE.

 

What is nice is that SkyrimSE has become well developed enough and its kept Skyrim going over these years so we all get to enjoy more content and other takes on what should be modded in guys dont lose sight of that.
