Confused regardng SE or LE versions.

[DasKebab]

While it may seem inconspicious, some SE version are also meant for the 1.6 Special Edition while some LE is for actual special edition.

The issue is that unlike nexus, mod authors here seem to not have standardisation.

in what mods are you making reference too?

[Just Don't]

LE mods available/compatible/ported for SE are tracked quite well in a couple of threads (e.g. blue links in my signature).

Differentiating SE and AE mods is only useful under two circumstances:

1. The mod contains a dll file and it requires an specific SKSE and/or Address Library version. In most cases the difference is very obvious (e.g. SOS SE / SOS AE).
2. The mod requires CC content which would require installing the free AE update or the full paid AE DLC to get the CC assets for that. If that's the case the mod should state requirements just as people stated Dawnguard or Dragonborn as required DLCs back in the og Skyrim days.

 So not a big deal tbh.

A lot, way too many to list atm haha. I've simply been trying and testing.

Currently, I'm stumped with More Nasty Critter

The issue with me is that, if I accidentally used the wrong version, FNIS will act up and cause everyone to A pose.

Exactly that, currently I am quite confused on which Nasty Critter files can be used for SE 1.6

Well, obviously this: 

I can't understand what is your problem... mods for SE are in Skyrim SE section. Some mods from LE also work in SE and that's it...

Mod authors always state the compatibility of their mods.

As I said LE/SE mods are easy to tell apart if you use the available resources to get to the SE modpages. Even a 5 sec google search including the mod name and SE somewhere yields the correct modpages. If you ever install a mod that causes FNIS to fail the behaviour generation you'll clearly see which mod is doing it (FNIS will print a warning stating the name of the mod/animations). The fix is removing the incompatible mod and getting the correct one.

Okay, but just confirming, in general, unless specified, Special Edition mods here work for Special Edition 1.6, and thats the version I would want, yes?

Like I said that only matters if the mod contains a dll. And if that's the case (or if another niche reason exists) it should be in the description/file info.

It "should be" in the description, but I doubt it is for most mods.  Especially for mods not updated since November2021.

 

You can open the archive (I recommend using 7Zip, it's free and handles everything) and look in \skse\plugins\ or \Data\skse\plugins and see if there is a file with a .DLL ending extension.  If there is (one or more), then you have to match 'AE' (Skyrim version 1.6.xxx) or 'SE' (1.5.97) with the mod.
