A lot of people do play Oldrim, but not the majority. Oldrim isn't even in the top 100 of the steam charts of me typing this, while SSE has surpassed it having more than double of Oldrim's peak amount.

The classic version doesn’t show up if you look for it because it doesn’t get sold on steam anymore it also stands on the store page

Helrato is talking about people actually playing the game
Special Edition has been ahead of oldrim consistently 24/7 for a few years now

nothing against oldrim but SSE is more stable. I still play both but have to admit not much oldrim. love them both.

Yeah i still play the classic version because it has the most variety of mods and the special edition probably will never catch up to those but i also play both

You play both, but you own neither on this account. Funny.
Never understood "Oldrim has more mods". More outdated trash? Sure. SSE is 64-bit and a lot of mod makers have already switched over to SE.
Oldrim is primarily for Enderal for me these days.

As I posted on your same thread in Oldrim, I will post here.
SSE is actually the better platform and actually has a more active modding community now. The only reason Oldrim (as original Skyrim is called) has more mods is because it has been out far longer. All the main mods have been ported over and are available for SSE, and as to the ones that have not, they are abandoned, outdated, or just plain crap. So, the old saw that "Oldrim has more mods" is very misleading and, for all practical purposes, simply not true.

Play both very simple but i already said that....if you prefer a variety of mods play original if you want to push the limits than special edition

Most Oldrim mods have already been ported to SSE. Plus, most of the non-ported ones can be ported yourself in a few minutes. And backporting from SSE to Oldrim is much more complex.

I play exclusively SE nowadays, because I run large mod builds and I can push SE farther then LE

Sure there is. I assume Requiem being one of them still hasn't been fully ported over yet. But are those few mods really worth playing LE with all its obvious flaws? Everyone decides for their own.

Is there a good source of a comparison between the two version?
I'm quite new to The Elder Scrolls and I always thought the only difference was technical changes (and the inclusion of the previous DLC)
