“I can probably sit there over a few nights and bang out an updated version of SKSE,” the SKSE developer writes, “but my main concern is for the rest of the plugins out there. While SKSE gets updated shortly after Skyrim does each time, other plugins aren’t as well-supported. And it’s apparently going to be even more of a problem for modders than the regular updates. Rather than a separate entry in Steam, it’ll be an update to the existing version. Even if you don’t, the Special Edition will get some free creations (fishing, survival mode, and the Saints & Seducers quest). When Skyrim’s 10th anniversary rolls around next month, you’ll be able to buy the Anniversary Edition, which is basically the 64-bit Special Edition plus everything currently in the Creation Club and 26 more creations yet to be released. This changes the way that the code is generated in a way that forces mod developers to start from scratch finding functions and writing hooks.” If you don’t, the Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE), a critical plug-in required by several of the finest Skyrim mods, will be broken every time the Bethesda Creation Club releases new material.Īs one of SKSE’s developers explains, “Bethesda has decided to update the compiler used to build the 64-bit version of Skyrim from Visual Studio 2015 to Visual Studio 2019. If you’re using modifications with Skyrim: Special Edition, you’ve presumably got Steam set to “only update this game when I launch it” in the properties menu, and you’re running it from a separate exe via your mod manager of choice.
