Is the anniversary upgrade worth it?

[Alfdog]

Does it inhibit me from downloading mods? Or is it a scam and do mods do the job £15 would for free?

All things that are purchasable are ploys to get you to spend money, Elder Scorlls 6 is a ploy to get money, do you seriously think game developers in general make games for free and have no intentions of making money?

Elder Scrolls 6 will be a NEW GAME
Is Anniversary Edition a NEW GAME?

NO
IT'S THE SAME DAMN GAME RELEASED FOR THE 9TH TIME
9TH

Wake the hell up already

[HazakTheMad]

I haven't spent a single penny on this very game, Skyrim has been something I have never spent money on excluding that time I bought it as a Christmas gift for my brother.

Anniversary is NEW dlc, not all of it but 26 of the 70 items were brand new never before released.

Which you can buy off the creation club without getting AE edition.

[HazakTheMad]

So I am a troll because I don't agree with you?

For far more than it would cost to buy alone.

Anniversary Edition is still just a Creation Club bundle.
Again, if that's your thing, enjoy it.

I prefer my mods free, with the occasional donation to a good modder.
Question from OP was 'is it worth it'?

My short answer.
No. Go to Nexus for more content instead of bethesda bundles.

[HazakTheMad]

Or get both, nothing stopping them from using both.
I still can't understand why it keeps being looked at as a either or sort of thing.

[FauxFurry]

Creation Club content is BGS' equivalent of content such as Cities: Skyline's Art Deco pack, The Sims 3's Store Content, Serious Sam 4 Siberian Mayhem, third party content curated by the developers then made available for purchase as official add-ons.

There is nothing to prevent these add-ons from functioning alongside non-curated content unless they alter exactly the same records or occupy the same space in the game world.

[Vlad 254]

I'm in the camp of having both. Modding allows us to do so much with this game along the lines of not only improving gameplay and graphics but tailoring it to our likes. Tweaking, tailoring, that's what we do.

[Handsome young man]

Yes its worth your money. Ultimately, all the SE mods on Nexus will be updated to the AE versions.

[Uscari]

I kind of like purchasing the Anniversary Upgrade because I feel like it's an endorsement by Bethesda that all that content is "cannon" in the sense that it can now be included in discussions of game balance and build viability.

I don't like modding this game because I tend to prefer playing as the developer intended it to play, and testing what builds do the best. I do use quality of life mods like the Unofficial Patch, Sky UI, Alternate Start, and Open Cities.

But yeah, Anniversary Edition gives me an excuse to add new content without feeling like I'm cheating myself of an "authentic" skyrim experience.

[aramew]

i think anniversary edition (AE) is a steal if you're interested in the creation club content, however if you want to get into modding it might be difficult at the moment since not many mods are updated for AE.

regardless, even if you do buy AE and want to mod, there is a patcher available on Nexus to downgrade your version to the latest Skyrim Special Edition version that is compatible with most mods.

all depends on what you wanna do

[gnewna]

Actually, the vast majority of mods don't need updating, and I would say at this stage a large majority of the mods that DO need updating, already have been.
