Yet another new SE Steam update (December 5 2023)?

[THUGGISMAXIMUS]

Just checking to make sure I'm not crazy and the official LL recommendation is not to click the "update" icon in Steam? December 5, 2023.

[Shonen17000]

The official ll recommandation will always be "wait". Right now, almost all skse dlls not using the adress library are broken, this includes the dlls of sexlab framework, aroused, utility+ and others on loverslab (including schlongs of skyrim) And it will probably take months before those are updated, and we still may have new small updates of the game .

 

I'll add a warning, the new downgrade patcher doesn't work very well, some users have systematic ctds on launch of the game.

ESL Range has been doubled to 4096 records.

 

WHEW, going to need to be extra careful grabbing .esl files now if you're still on 1.5.

For people still sticking to SE-1.597 land; set steam to offline mode when you want ot play Skyrim.

Here is some of what that update entails.

 

[Fotogen]

Thats "Microsoft". Age of Empires II is like 20 years old and MS is still pumping out "patches".

 

I would not be surprised if in a couple of month we get another one. And then another one. And another.

 

Because of nonstop upgrades, binary based mods are in danger of going extinct. I mean, do you really think modder will want to be stuck non stop upgrade loop?

[Celedhring]

Imagine the anger when Bugstheda tries to update Fallout 4 after so long to try to ride the wave from its Fallout 4 TV series without giving players a way to opt out of updates to avoid wrecking their carefully curated modded games.

This bit caught my eye:

A newly added Resource Pack has also been included to get Creators’ feet wet with a selection of art and scripting assets.

 

I'm guessing this just means some function calls and a handful of textures, but adding support for newer modeling and animation libraries so people don't need to resort to 3DS Max 2005 or something would be pretty rad.

[Just Checking]

Yeah I got stung by the update.  Comments on the downgrade patcher have some pinned instructions by the creator to manually download the last skyrim version's files from steam's console though.  Just tried it out and it works so if you're having trouble rolling back, go to that page and follow those instructions.

I sent this file to Bethesda with a critique on their "update" 

Taleworlds did it right..and saved themselves alot of shit from their updates breaking mods.   That way players can stay on the version they prefer with their mod setup..and it works as an offramp to avoid their updates.

But if they did that, who would ever update? No, they need eyeballs on their new Creations system so people can start spending Bethbucks™ ASAP!

I *always* have Steam in offline mode. Skyrim is the only Steam game I play and I'm constantly messing around with a couple mods. I also have my game in a non-default location on my computer. I'm getting old though (71 this year) and if Skyrim gets broken I'll probably just leave it behind and do something else.

Stupid question but are the modders of some essential mods (like SOS) still active?

 

Would be a shame if the last update would send the game to rest because important mods don't work anymore and won't get updated.

There is a dll free version in case an update ever breaks SOS. It might be time to move on to another alternative if worse comes to worst, be it SOSAM or the SOS successor, The New Gentleman (which even has patches for some of the female add-ons).

[robert_d_negro]

this update broke everything... i made it even worse by copy/paste different skse versions in my skyrim folder breaking the game completely, even patch back did not work... before i even consider to reinstall everything fresh i need to know how to disable updates on steam and if its even worth it, did this update break all the adult mods ?

[nux581]

I could have sworn that I had updates turned off, but the December 5 crap-storm caught me anyways. I reverted to the previous Skyrim.exe, and so I do not get the mismatch notice regarding the version of Skyrim versus SKSE.... but Skyrim does not start. Nothing happens. Did Bethesda do something to kill user mod use?

The only updates I'm still waiting for are Devious Devices and Fuz Ro Doh.  Everything else I use—700ish mods—is either version-agnostic or has been updated to 1.6.1130 at this point.

Is it possible to Use New Gentleman instead of SOS?

Still waiting for SOS , Fuz Roh Da and CBPC  but I also use Faster HDT-SMP so not sure if CBPC is still needed or if I can just remove it.

The New Gentlemen is meant to be used in place of SOS, not in concert with it.

CBPC is up to date.

Well, Fuz Ro Doh just landed.  Now it's just Devious Devices holding me back; I guess it's time to try to figure out how to MacGyver it with DDNG.

[Chlodwig]

Nice so for me only   SOS,

Estrus,  and Honed Metal but both are more or less optional so I hope someone will update SOS soon.

Are your mods showing up in the game? Mine aren't at all....

 

Disregard.... Found a thread that showed me how to fix it...
