Skyrim SE SUPER EASY Rollback for SKSE64 2.0.4

[Brance]

Thanks to the pointless Skyrim SE updates SKSE64 doesn't work anymore. YAY!!!!

Thankfully the fix is really easy - if you have the file. You just have to replace the SkyrimSE.exe file in your Skyrim Special Edition game folder with the older version.

UPDATE 1: It was pointed out that the links I shared may be in violation with Bethesda and against the posting rules of the Steam discussion forums so while I wish I could help everyone else who is frustrated that their game wont start I had to take the links down. Sorry.

UPDATE 2: There is a thread on reddit about how to do it without the file for anyone looking for a solution

Either of our opinions of CC are beside the point. The point is that the update makes it so there will be less breaking of SKSE64 in the future, thus making the update good in the long run.

If CC had free mods which supported the same features as SKSE such as SkyUI and ECE I would gladly support CC. I literally can't play without SkyUI. The normal UI is self-inflicted torture.

Then it is good that adding to CC won't break SKSE64 any more, right?

And you actually believe that?!
You really think that they won't continue to break skse?

You misunderstood me. I dit not said they'd never break SKSE with updates. I am only saying that expanding CC won't break SKSE any more as it now requires a text file that SKSE doesn't use to be updated and no longer requires the EXE to be updated to expand CC.

As long as I can continue to play the game i am happy with the way i have it modded right now and dont have to deal with downtime then yes

Thanks a lot.

Bethesda: Can't be bothered to fix 6 year old bugs, but gladly breaking everything that makes the game worth having.

Thanks OP ♥

the skse64 is meant for mod makers to test things out with. its in early alpha. dont blame bethesda for your mistake when the skse team said not to use it for main public. it also discedits the skse team if you do since they warned no to

The SKSE team is welcome to CYA, but the fact of the matter is that it works. SkyUI SE alone has over 150,000 downloads, and it only works with skse, and the conversations about. Alpha doesn't mean the same thing as unstable, especially since it had a previous iteration with at least 5 years of optimization to be compared to.

Anecdotally, I didn't bother with SE until skse dropped, and I've logged over 80 hours since then with zero problems from skse.

Also, I don't think anyone taking the leap to modding their game is part of the 'main public.'

Wow...most of you just merely had to temporarily uninstall the mods that required SKSE64. It's not like it's going to affect your quests in any way...

I can assure you that Sky UI SE doesn't work for all 150,000 of those downloads, even with the latest SKSE release as is the stated requirement, and starting from a New Game.

Sky UI SE doesn't work on my machine. I cannot change its position in the load order. I have to Enable it every time I start the game. I am not the only one of those 150,000+ downloaders having this problem. It's just not possible.


As for the SKSE team saying "do not use. it's just for modders", it should be pretty obvious to a 5 year old that if they put one out for modders to use, modders are making mods that make use of it, and the only way for players to test those mods is to have the SKSE alpha as well. I mean, you'd have to be completely stupid to think otherwise.
Sky UI SE says you need the latest SKSE. You can download the latest Sky UI SE. That means they want you to help test Sky UI SE, which means you're going to need the latest SKSE 64 alpha.
I just cannot dumb it down any further than that. If anyone still insists "but they said it's for modders only!!!! Don't download it!!!!11" then I suggest you not go near the game until you're past the age of 18, maybe 20. At least not without a mental evaluation.


There's nothing wrong with the vanilla UI. It works. It's simple. No you can't do keyboard searches and the sorting is not all that varied. It's called loot management. If you're hauling 20 different weapons and 30 different armors, stop. Learn how to properly manage your inventory.
I won't deny Sky UI LE had some useful features, but it is not "physical torture" to use the vanilla UI, and yes, you literally CAN play the game with it just fine. OCD is not a virtue, that's why the "D" means "Disorder".

Anyone know the latest depot code for the patch last night? I'm trying to find it using the guide on reddit, but it's my first time and I'm not doing well at finding things.

[NIKFS]

unless this is a weird time zones thing: the patch shouldnt be much older than a few hours at best, was playing a few hours ago

so i guess it wouldnt be updated yet, give it a day or so for the rollback method, dunno how long it will take for skse though

You can easily find the games exe codes from steamdb to do this yourselves, no need to wait for ages for someone to post the newest one on reddit.

Thank you! worked great. Stupid SkyUI is the only thing I need the SKSE64 for, but I am spoiled now and can't play with the vanilla crappy UI

There is a version that does not need the SKSE64.... it's the older 2.2 version, so it isn't as good but its better than vanilla.

THANK YOU!! The SkyUI still has not updated to the skse 2.00.19, but this version still works! You're a life-saver
