1.5.97 or 1.6.353 ?

[BossSauron]

I just come back to this game.....
3 month ago I played 1.6.353 and some people say I should go 1.5.97 so now I restart my PC delete everything and start new again so what version I should?

1.5.97 (SE) or 1.6.353 (old AE)

[Ihateeverybody]

I never left 1.5.97 (after taking longer then alot to upgrade to it). I can't say as I regret it. Nothing so far has come along to change that belief. So far everything I have added since still works (thanks to the Modders who still put 1.5 versions up).

I abhor having 4 things I didn't want forced on me. I DON"T CARE IF THE DOG TURDS ARE FREE, I DON"T WANT YOUR DOG POOPING ON MY LAWN.

So yeah, thats how I feel about it.

There is no reason not to use 1.6.353. It's the last version supported by DAR, and SKSE has had some bug fixes.
Latest version is 1.6.640, which has some CTD fixes and SKSE fixes, but sadly it's not DAR supported.

Dynamic Animation Replacer (DAR) is the entire reason you might wanna play on a version lower than 1.6.640. Should DAR ever be updated, all previous Skyrim versions will become instantly obsolete.

That's right... If skyrim had only one update since SE xD The dream.

I truly hope 1.6.640 is the last version. The update to AE was worth it because Bethesda's new compiler is actually a bit more efficient. People might say that nothing changed but it actually helps those playing on lower end systems quite a bit with script lag.

The problem with 1.6.353 is that it natively has some loading issues which can cause scripts to load faster than they should. It might cause crashes or events to happen out of order with certain mods. This was fixed in 1.6.640 but sadly DAR was abandoned.

Lets be honest here now several mods maintain multiple versions ..... however at a certain point there will be NEW mods that will only work on 1.6.640 or even later. You can't expect that mod authors make in 1 or 2 years 3 versions.

Speaking as someone still running a 1.5.97 build, you should not run obsolete versions of the game unless you personally are informed and capable enough to maintain personal mod and tool archives, patch and repair mods, and generally sort your own problems out. You cannot assume that mod authors or the community at large will be willing to spend a bunch of time helping you resolve your self-inflicted backwards-compatibility issues.

I'm not sure where these "always use the latest version" "always better to go forward" comments are coming from, dude's picking between 2 old versions, I guess it's more important to reinforce their opinions over bethesda then just take 3 seconds to actually read the post
Don't see the reason behind using 1.6.353, both are older runtimes, neither is getting stable support from newly made mods, and if new modder not making separate version for 597 is a serious concern for you, then they'll be even less interested in making a 3rd one for 6353
So here are the two possible reasons my utterly unimaginative brain finds in defense for 1.6.353
-You are absolutely attached to the 4 CC mods
-You have the "If my current game is not broken I'm not fixing it" mentality, which I respect enormously

Expect; No. I don't expect to wake up each morning.

Be grateful if they do; YES! Also about the waking up part, can't play Vidja Games if dead (or asleep)

I give 1 other reason if there are important changes in USSEP (some important bug fix) and you're on an older version than the latest game version you have a problem, because new USSEP releases ONLY work on the latest game versions ...

The over the top devil may cry Japanese anime hack n slash combat animation and bouncy boob physics mod doesn't work for the newest version, that's why people are telling you to go to the older version.

If you don't use such a mod, you got nothing to worry about

These mods work just fine on 1.6.353 (they require "DAR"). lol

.Net Script framework is pretty much the only thing that only works up to 1.5.97, it's needed for things like "No Grass In Objects".

Are there alternatives of No Grass In Objects?

Because some things in the latest game version are different than older version also the Latest USSEP relies on the 4 CC to be present so 1.5.97 won't do and older versions are not to be found on the nexus.

1.5.97 works just fine with latest USSEP. You need to have used the Best of Both Worlds patch to downgrade. That keeps you the CC content and latest ESMs, so far as USSEP is concerned you're on the latest version.

I'm still on 1.5.97 in case you didn't guess by that segue. There's quite a few mods in my load order that are dependant on legacy mods such as DAR and .net script framework and there are still some newer mods that explicitly still only support older versions (such as SCAR).

Its a nuisance no matter which version you choose, because either way you can't guarantee a mod will work with your version. Nice work Bethesda.

Ok didn't know that one sorry

Skyrim modding is weird at the moment so no need to be sorry! The problem is you can't even recommend new modders to stick with the current version (although that is probably the best advice). The update issues mean there's no version you can guarantee to work with new mods...
