Unofficial patch workaround/replacement?

[Guest]

As some of you might know, the UESSEP, a completely essential mod, is controlled on the Nexus by one of the most bizarre and toxic mod developers I am aware of. As a result, they refuse to allow or abide by distribution of any "outdated" versions of their mods, including versions which are simply built for the pre-AE versions of the game. I don't want to upgrade for a variety of reasons, so I'm unable to use the UESSEP or Alternate Start - Live Another Life mods.

 

 

 

 

Are there any mods which do the same things, AND properly function as dependencies for mods which require UESSEP/ASLAL? Obviously the unofficial patch is more critical to find a 1:1 replacement. I'd really like to hear about any alternatives, if there are any.

 

 

  

 

Here is the stickied post on the mod page, in case you haven't seen it before.

   Going to turn this into a catch-all sticky.
   
   1. WE DO NOT SUPPORT VR IN ANY WAY!!! Bethesda has intentionally not provided it with mod support. It was built from an ancient fork of SE from before the Creation Club came into existence. The price of VR gear is too expensive for members of the team to justify. Plus the master files don't match up at all. There are currently no modder supported methods to auto-patch for VR since VR does not have any of the new content from SE 1.6.
   
   2. We will not tolerate support requests for anyone using a jailbroken console. These activities are ILLEGAL and any posts on the subject will be instantly deleted, your access to this thread blocked permanently, and you WILL be reported to Nexus Staff for piracy.
   
   3. This is NOT a general troubleshooting area. This topic is specifically for support of the patch. Please keep any general troubleshooting to the forums where you will get a more useful response for yourself and others.
   
   4. Under no circumstances will we provide you with old copies of the patch. Do not ask. We will also NOT provide support for the archives which Nexus is forcing people to maintain. Do not ask about those either. All posts asking us to provide support for older versions of the game will be summarily deleted from now on.
   
   5. Regarding the "AE vs SE" misinformation that's going around, please do yourself a favor and read this: https://www.afkmods.com/index.php?/topic/5954-skyrim-anniversary-edition-and-you/ It will clear up any confusion on the subject that other forums are causing.
   
   6. If you're using any of the additional DLCs from the Anniversary Edition Upgrade, you need to also download Garthand's Unofficial Skyrim Creation Club Content Patches as these will resolve the conflicts between USSEP and the DLCs, as well as addressing other bugs in them that we are not covering.
   
   7. Yes, you understood correctly, as of the June 2022 update, fixes for the 4 free DLCs that were downloaded with the 1.6 game update are now incorporated with the USSEP.

This post has a working link to the last SE (v1.5.97) compatible version of USSEP if that's what you are looking for.

Which is why I manually download every mod so I can have a saved copy in just such a case as this. I am starting a new LE download and mod adventure, just to get Live another life was an act of Congress.

Finding it, joining the stupid site, confirming email, reconfirming account, all just to download the mod.

Why have it free for all these years and remove it, because of Nexus I would guess.

Aus diesem Grund lade ich jeden Mod manuell herunter, damit ich in einem solchen Fall eine gespeicherte Kopie haben kann. Ich beginne ein neues LE-Download- und Mod-Abenteuer, nur um Live Another Life zu bekommen, war ein Akt des Kongresses.

Finden, der blöden Seite beitreten, E-Mail bestätigen, Konto erneut bestätigen, alles nur um den Mod herunterzuladen.

Warum es all die Jahre lang kostenlos haben und dann entfernen, wegen Nexus würde ich vermuten.

 

If you use "Vortex"... it has its own archive directory.
That's why you can also choose the "automatic" installation.

You just have to be careful when uninstalling that you don't delete the archive too... there is a query for this

or you copy the packed files from the Vortex archive into another archive you created

(this is how I did it with important mods)

This is exactly why I started saving a copy of the files, I screwed up and lost everything with a stupid move when I first started trying to mod. Rookie!
