FAQ for SSE

[Davoodinator]

quick PSA:
If you didn't already have "oldrim" (original skyrim) Legendary edition before the launch of Skyrim Special Edition. You will not receive Skyrim Special Edition for Free. This is true of having hte DLC+Originals as well. The promotion is over.

That said, if you are a first time buyer wondering which game to get.

If you have a DX11 compatible card - you should get Skyrim Special edition as it has alot of technological upgrades and will make better use of your resources.

If you have an older system, then get the older skyrim.

This is not just the resolution fix, it is the UI fix.

I just published this in a guide, easier to edit and keep organized that way.

did we hear anything from the beta testers about how difficult the transfer was?

Will we in the future download all the stuff from beth directly and no longer use the nexus? i guess you can still activate the plugins through nexus mm but download from beth? I am also wondering if nexus will also add the special edition as a separate game with a separate mods page - probably easier than to mix the two

Nexus is preparing for Skyrim SE, yes. Bethesda Workshop also has PC versions.

This is what we know about transfer:

I suggest to add this in the first post https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/wiki/sse as it explains alot of things about Skyrim Special Edition

Every single post on here is full of repeat and misinformed questions - so let's create a FAQ that really doesn't do much but repeat what is on the store page, and some stuff from the community that is factual. ill add evidence/links when possible later if it gets stickied.

1) Skyrim Special Edition (SSE) WILL NOT over-write classic skyrim. it is a SEPARATE GAME

2) If you have classic skyrim+ all DLC, then you will get Special Edition for Free

3) No new content is being added

4) From what we can tell - they have made the game 64 bit and added support for mods on consoles
but maybe not on ps4
http://www.polygon.com/2016/9/9/12861416/fallout-4-ps4-mod-support-skyrim-ps4-mod-support

5) They have effectively made sweetFX/ENB part of the vanilla game and native too which means excellent peformance (?)

6) Valenwood and other imagined new content was not advertised, do not go into this update looking for that experience.

7) Mods will be broken, but for the most part will be immediately convertable using the new version of the toolset

8) SKSE based mods will require the SKSE team to update SKSE - they don't work for bethesda and aren't paid salaries to do it. So don't stress over when it will be ready. They did say they would look into it. And it wont be BEFORE SSE is released.

Good to see that others are following the progress as well.

We have been following this in Skyrim forum and I have mirror post in this forum as well.

So what happen if you will own the Legendary Edition after Oct 28? no more free special edition?

you need to own it BEFORE the release @ oct28 so buying it afterwards wont give it to you

That is reflected in the latest news update from bethesda:

Special Edition will not connect to original installation. Achievements will not be carried over from previous version to new one.

Hi @ Vlad
Thanks for that very solid answer.
I know this to be true with free games from Steam as I have also done these things you describe.
But this is a Special Edition, no ordinary free game.
I done the same thing with COH2 Special Edition, and after 2 -3 weeks of sitting uninstalled in my library, . . . . It vanished.
Apparently it was an automated response and non recoverable.
.
Can you confirm.
Thank you.

I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled both Skyrim/oldrim and Skyrim Special Edition so many times it's unreal, maybe 50 times to be conservative. I do so each and every time I build a new load order and I do not perform a simple uninstall reinstall as I completely wipe every trace of Skyrim off my PC because it's that important when modding your game and is a big reason why my load orders run so smoothly (of course you also must properly build a load order afterwards). Matter of fact the guide HazakTheMad linked for you is what I use so I wrote it out in guide form including the video from GamerPoets which is key. and it's also in all my load order guides meaning hundreds have done the same. I'm sorry but I don't know what else to tell you really.

[HMS Huntingtonnz]

Hi @Hazak @Vlad
You have both uninstalled your Free complimentary copy of SkyrimSE. It remained un-highlighted in your library, then you reinstalled it. (re-highlights it).
That's all you needed to say.
.
i've lost one free SE game, I don't want to loose another.
Thank you.
.
Thanks @Bomb Bloke for your knowledge.
.
@Hazak, I sense a little BS, first you tell me "It shouldn't", "you don't think so", "I don't believe it will", "I've never heard of it before". Now you're saying "you've done it"
Which is it?.
.
Anyhow, Thanks all, i'll try it.

[HazakTheMad]

I can't know what will happen for everyone, and don't get lippy with me over me not saying everything with complete conviction.

[HMS Huntingtonnz]

My Apologies @Hazak, I retract all "Lippy" conversation.
And it's simply, . . . if you don't know, then don't say anything.
Thanks again.

Had you owned all the DLCs you would have, also Bethesda does not monitor pinned topics.
On the plus side, on sale the game goes for 13ish USD.

See my response above. Skyrim stores more than what you mentioned. It stores script data. This is the problem.

ok then it goes back to the fact that this is a separate installation. the saves dont have to be compatible.

Bethesda will likely direct any complaints to "well you can still play your old saves withi the old game".

fine with me. i was going to use SSE as a way to replay the game from 0 :D

No you cannot play the original oldrim anymore .. and it is straight out "#¤%&YU/" with you guys that you dont give out the players that allready own the original skyrim a free permanent upgrade to their accounts ..

Sorry but i am never going to buy a Besheda product ever again after this treatment of their players and i am also a beta tester of the online version of Skyrim, I supported Besheda ! but now it is just Bleh gfysa

So, you posted an angry comment, in reply to a post from 7 years ago, made by someone who is not a Bethesda employee, claim to be a beta tester of an online version of Skyrim which does not exist unless you think ESO is a form of Skyrim, and are claiming the original version of the game does not work when plenty of people still play it.

To sum it up, I think you are having a issue with the original game, came to the conclusion that Bethesda is the reason it is having issues for you, and have now gone to the steam forum of the updated version of that game to vent.

I suggest you head over to the forums for the original version of Skyrim and ask for help on fixing your game.

if you could fix all your damn bugs and glitches within the game, then we would be more happy to play it ..

Allso if we could get it multiplay ? and no not like Elderscrolls online .. because that game they allready ruined from the start by limit the combat´s scenes with only weapon skills ..

Are hawks supposed to be invincible the second time I shoot them? I'm worried that other creatures (fish, etc.) might become so after I kill them once.

It makes it hard to get feathers, beaks, etc.

That is a known glitch in the base game.
Maybe there’s a mod to fix it out there.

How come there are no recent updates mentioned in games update history page?
latest of '23 is not there (the one that messed up all the moding scene and cancelled achievements tracking), and now i see another update pending download !?!?!?
