There's a free *update* to Skyrim SE. Not the same as Anniversary Edition. The update adds 4 CC mods, and breaks all the mods in your game. lol! J/K some people seem to get it to work ok.

Well, *I* don't think it is. But, I'm sure a lot of people will disagree.

Only breaks mods that use Skyrim Script Extender. All other mods should be unaffected.

Um....yes, I know. I was only kidding about the "breaking all the mods in the game".

Ohh so it only breaks all the ESSENTIAL mods. I wouldn't even be able to tolerate playing the game without the myriad of UI fixes like SkyUI. Or did they take SkyUI etc. and generously include it in 'their' 'update'?

No. There are no vanilla game fixes. There are a couple of changes, but nothing included like that. Once SkyUI is updated (I don't know, it might already be as of this writing) then things should get back to "normal". I don't plan to update for a LONG time, and I will STILL never have SAE. I am keeping my SSE EXACTLY how it is.

I loaded an old vanilla save from 2017 using the new SKSE64 and the updated SE and added some mods. The only problems I had were with mods that need papyrus or were hard coded for a specific version of SKSE64. SkyUI worked fine. I only got an hour or so in, to tidy up loose ends and create a save to branch the game off in a couple of different directions using the same mods.

The old save is a Dark Brotherhood and Dawnguard storyline, both at stopping points before the full questlines, with a character who is Dragonborn but hasn't been to High Hrolgar yet, even at level 40ish.

I started a new unpatched vanilla game with the updated game to create some saves for playthrough with mods in the future. So far, no problems. Haven't done any of the main quests in years with or without mods, so a couple of new vanilla quests is making things interesting, despite the boring hassle of leveling up a new character again.
