Should I switch from oldrim to SE

[TisForThePorn]

I'm thinking about re-downloading Skyrim for a modded playthrough, but I was wondering if the SE is worth getting. Did the modding community shift to it or should I just stick to Oldrim? Both from a lewd and non lewd perpective

[Grey Cloud]

How many times do we have have this question?

Do some fucking reading and make up your own mind.

as the title says im looking for only adult play using sexlab n some other mods (hydra lair,Hydra slave girls) i love skyrim special edition over oldrim but whats good for adult playthrough??

[Darkpig]

And now we're back to this...

 

I'm pretty sure Nioverride is still broken over in SSE and Creation Club updates are still a thing. I dunno.

I just asked cause I find people recommending both, plus most in favor of Oldrim are older threads so maybe things changed, I don't know

No clue and unfortunately it is. With new crap content incoming!

 

OP, your question would be better served by asking in the SSE section of the boards.

[DigitalP]

It's easy to avoid the auto updates. Just load through SKSE/F4SE and have SSE/FO4 set to update on launch. 

 

Personally it's bloody awesome not having CTD's or infinate load screens.

Skyrim is a game where you role play as an adventurer exploring new places and things, taking risks, conquering beasts and bandits. Will you go on this adventure of Skyrim SE or will you play it safe and stay in Whiterun? I heard Anoriath didn't return from his last hunting trip and his stall is up for sale.  Talk to Mallus over at Honningbrew Meadery, there might be an employment opportunity that just opened up.

Considering the current state of modding, and that I have space and patience for only one version which should I go for - Special or Legendary?

So far I can see that the bare necessities are available for both editions, but there is new content being made for both and I see that much of the original mods are also being ported to special edition, yet it somehow feels too early for SE, am I wrong or should I indeed stick to LE?

With Skyrim LE, i dont have to stress myself with each new creative club update that arrives

[Alter Native]

Gameplay -> Special Edition as it's more stable and runs better overhaul, all the important mods are ported

Screenshots etc. -> Normal Edition as it has way more mods for character customization, outfits etc.

[landess]

I had to look up 'legendary edition' only to realize it's basically a 'GOTY' version. (Base game + all DLC/unlimited leveling).

 

Since the SE has a graphical upgrade, I guess the answer lies in : Do you want to use a few of your 255 mod slots to include your own graphical upgrade mods? Also : Are specific mods you may be interested in available for SE?

 

Disclaimer : I realize not all mods require the addition of hexadecimal file addresses.

 

Regarding your hidden contents : Why did God put our hands so close to our 'privates' then?

The general consensus a few years back was that LE is more unstable than SE, though if you're savvy you can mod LE into being pretty stable with all the memory fixes and whatnot that came out. SE also has more refined killcam animations and a built-in graphics stuff that performs similarly to ENB and all that.

Mod-wise, LE has the bigger library, period. However, a lot of the popular mods have been converted to SE already. SKSE for SE has had time to mature, but I am unsure as to how complete it is compared to LE.

 

I can't say how SE compares to LE when it comes to sex mods.

 

If you already have an LE installation, I'd say that it might not be worth buying SE just for the alleged benefits. It's still essentially the same game.

 

If you're worried about modding and all that other stuff, LE is probably the safest choice. However, SE seems to be catching up or caught up already in most of the popular mods.

i'm planning to start a new playthrough, i've always played the classic edition, because i didnt have a video card capable of running skyrim at full, now that i have a decent pc that can run it well, i was wondering, how advanced is the sexlab modding for the SSE?

i haven't played skyrim for a little more than a year so im a bit lost, also i've never played SSE, i know it has better graphics than classic and is actually 64bit or something like that, so here is my question
Should i stick to the classic edition for heavy modding + sexlab? or should i get SSE?

also i'll be very grateful if you can tell me your opinions or tips

Sexlab isn't available for SE.  In my opinion, LE is far superior than SE, i.e. more mods, HDT, etc.   And SE doesn't have better graphics. It might if comparing unmodded games - one from 2011 and one from 2016.

It is and it works fine.

 

HDT is also available and also works fine. Almost every mod that requires real porting is ported by now. There is little reason to use LE anymore.

 

Here is the conversion tracking:

Well then I stand corrected.

 

[SensualLust]

HDT does work in SE? Didnt know that. I thought SE used a different version havoc physics that was never released to the public.

[endgameaddiction]

Well, I stopped taking Skyrim serious because no matter how well I patch the game, it's just a dysfunctional POS. Tired of trying to play with really nice mods only to always run into problems. I can't for the love of me return to a basic boring style Skyrim. So I just tinker with meshes and try out outfits

 

I don't have the drive or energy to move over to SSE. I don't feel like downloading and backing up Skyrim mods all over again. And I don't have the drive to port over mods that haven't been ported.

 

Shifting from one game to the same game to do the same thing ingame sounds very lame when I can do the same on the one I currently game...

 

Now pardon me. I'm off to America's Got Talent only to be boo'd off stage.

[FauxFurry]

Most of the major mods have already been converted and there is a growing list of mods which are either exclusive to SE or work best on SE since they don't have any of their features cut to better function with the 32-bit version of Skyrim so you might as well go with SE.

 

Now, if you plan on using a bunch of mods which require the Script Extender, then you need to know that every month or two, there may or may not be a new version of the executable released which breaks all of those mods. If that happens, your options are:

1. Wait for the mods to be updated.

2. Try to update the dll files yourself.

3. Scrap any mods which have been abandoned and start your play through over.

4. Play Legendary Edition instead. 

[Zorrow]

Thanks all for your suggestions, as i feared, some mods that i used to use are either "finished" and/or don't have a SE version, i'll wait a bit longer to make up my mind
And thanks for the conversion link, now i can compare my mod list to see what i can do with it

[Ernest Lemmingway]

Another suggestion--and one a lot of people here would recommend--is disabling auto-updating of SSE in Steam. Every time Bugthesda releases a new "patch" (read: support for new Creation Club crap) it invalidates SKSE64. Which kills mods and frameworks like Sexlab that add scripts until Silverlock and co. update it to work with the new version.

 

I'd switch to SSE just for the additional stability and whatnot. But some key mods haven't been ported (or never will be), my Oldrim is plenty stable if a bit finicky at times, and I hate the CC so much I'd have to play with Steam in Offline Mode to avoid it.

59k mods vs 14k mods. :thonk:

 

Less Mods, worse graphics, incomplete and godawful excuse for enb, cretin club and repeated breaking of SKSE because of said club and the "it's more stable" myth, because memory patches and enboost didn't fix that half a decade ago

 

If you choose SSE, well then, I have a bridge to sell you :]

Well of course a 7 year old game would have more mods than it's newer incarnation. Also the SSE is more stable because a 64 bit program can handle it's memory a lot better than a 32 bit.

[Zorrow]

yes, you are right, i had the same issue with fallout 4 and the CC, seems i'll be playing LE again, i had a very stable game last time, i hope i can achieve that again
