I guess I should get SE while I can get it at 50% off then as I assume they will pull it on the 11th but I'll be irritated if AE is sold at a reasonable price. Bethesda has already increased the standard retail price of SE since the announcement apparently though and I can't imagine they'll pass up the opportunity to milk it one last time.

Midnight Voyager posted:But they're generally pretty easy to convert, if LE has something SE doesn't. Most of the simpler LE mods will drop right into SE without much trouble. There's a minor complication in file structure which is alleviated by opening the plugin in the SE CK and then saving it (literally that's all that you need to do, open it, save it in the SE CK, and exit), and even that's not 100% mandatory if the mod is simple enough. Some of the more complex mods either have better alternatives in SE, or have straight ports. SE, meanwhile, is native 64-bit, meaning you can toss just about as much memory-hoarding bullshit in there as you like (which was a real concern in LE, because it's 32-bit native and can thus easily hit that 4GB memory address limit), plus it's generally just much more stable and reliable as a baseline. On top of THAT, it includes support for things like ESL plugins, which are a loving godsend for things like patches and smaller mods, because they don't technically count towards your plugin limit. Generally SE is the preferred option today, both for stability and the extra features that it adds. LE is more for anyone who can't run SE for some reason, or just doesn't want to out of personal choice.

Where are you seeing it at 50% off? The UK Steam store is not discounted, is it in the US? I’m tempted to do the same myself - what I’m thinking I might do is pick it up nearer release date and not play it, so I can return it within the window (assuming they have the “less than 2 hours playtime” rule for this) if there is a good price for AE.

I was looking at the gamesplanet one as mentioned above (only 1 day left on the flash sale). Obviously steam wouldn't refund it but they do seem to have a return policy. Hopefully finding someone to send the old exe and slotting in place would work when all the mods break but I don't know if that's how it works.

I don't know much but, if Anniversary Edition modifies visual studio, affecting SKSE mods but not simple ones... does that mean that the console versions of skyrim should just update with the existing mods just fine? I only have a few QoL changes (like sprint stamina comsumption, rich merchants and so) on PS4.

You need to change something, anything in the mod, and then change it back, then save it. Otherwise the SE CK won't resave the mod in the new format.

Agents are GO! posted:Almost correct. You need to change something, anything in the mod, and then change it back, then save it. Otherwise the SE CK won't resave the mod in the new format. This is not true. You launch the CK, set the mod you want to convert to active, let it load, save, done. I've never had to change anything just to get the CK to save and overwrite Form 43 with 44. Edit: Yes, I know that most guides/posts about Oldrim to SSE conversions mention that you should change and undo something before it gets saved to the new format but if that ever was a thing it's no longer required as the CK will save no matter what.

Anyone who uses the CK to resave plugins should install CreationKit Fixes and disable some things in the skyrim64_test.ini like autoexport facegen meshes and textures https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/20061 it also adds a text field to search plugins when loading otherwise xEdit is the way to go for any kind of plugin editing because the CK is ancient and sucks CAO is better for catch all texture/mesh optimizing https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/23316 Gyoru fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Oct 31, 2021 |

what's the best place for a burner email? You now have to sign in to vector plexus to use wabbajack and I dumbly clicked the "sign in with google" button and the built in browser in wabbajack isn't secure enough for google sign in.

If it has to be purchased am I safe leaving everything in Steam alone right now or should I go in there and make sure auto-patching disabled and all that assorted stuff? I have no interest in buying AE, but also don't have a current game going and no immediate plans to start one in the near future. e;fb: answered above.

Hold on, I'm slow/stupid and trying to figure this out and this is what I have -On 11/11/2021, there will be an update for Skyrim SE (all versions) that adds the behind the scenes changes, as well as fishing/the farm/the Hearthfire Aquarium stuff -It also adds Saints and Seducers for free -If you have SE, you can upgrade it to the full AE for... whatever and that also gives you the rest of the CC stuff. Otherwise you buy it for normal retail price. -It doesn't do anything to better incorporate the CC stuff, so if you start a new file you will get like 50+ quests added to your Journal the moment you escape Helgen

That would make AE slightly more attractive (not enough for me to get it lol), I was getting flashbacks to starting a new Oblivion game and suddenly being told I have inherited a Mage's Tower and a giant Castle the moment I got out of jail.

if you buy the AE upgrade, does SE download all the AE stuff as add-ons or are you buying an entirely separate game?

So I'm poking around with an attempt at a modified version of Lexy's, and I'm wondering about quest mods. I really haven't done any quest mods before, but since I'm doing LotD, it seems a good chance to actually see what's out there. Lexy's list contains: Falskaar Konahrik's Accountrements Moonpath to Elseweyr Moon and Star (I'm not going to use this one) Teldryn Serious Gray Cowl of Nocturnal The Forgotten City The Tools of Kagrenac Wyrmstooth Interesting NPCs (probably not using this one either) Popular Follower Mods(tm) So my question is if there are other quest mods that you guys would recommend. For instance, I've heard good things about Vigilant, but one glance at screenshots shows that at least visually it is very, ahem, inspired by Dark Souls. Now, I like me some Dark Souls, but Skyrim is not Dark Souls, and basically every attempt I've seen by modders to make it so has been a car crash of frustration. If Vigilant is built for that kind of thing, then I suspect I won't like it.

Wiltsghost posted:I thought I read that the last point isn't true. I think they said they will space them out. Bethesda says a lot of things, but, if the current implementation of CC content holds, you can expect that they're gonna spam the poo poo out of you as soon as you exit the Helgen cave. Bonus: In FO4's case, this legitimately breaks the main quest of the game, and the only way around it is to either force the game not to load those plugins until AFTER you exit the vault OR install a mod that disables auto-starting of CC content. Remember when Bethesda said that CC would allow them to bug test the content? Yep. Bethesda says a lot of things. Gonkish fucked around with this message at 02:33 on Nov 6, 2021 |

Commander Keene posted:Even better; the new version breaks all the mods even if you don't pay for it - but you don't get the new stuff unless you do. This is a masterstroke of evil. It's only going to break SKSE and SKSE dependent mods, everything else will be ok. It's still bad, lots of good mods use SKSE but it's not a total disaster.
