Is there a list that shows which mods are outdated,incompatible etc.?

[CheersMate]

Gonna start a skyrim run with mods and ım looking for a guide that tells me which ones to avoid.I have the ''se'' version

[UsernameTaken666]

that would be impossible to compile.best bet is to follow the guides in the
pinned topics in this forum. Then add whichever mods you want.

when you are looking at mods; read the mods front page. Many will address compatibility. Look at the BUGS tab, the POSTS tab, and the FORUM tab.

A prejudice of mine, but if the mod author has locked comments? I am highly unlikely to DL that mod.

Use a mod manager, and use LOOT. No, it is not infallible, but LOOT has pointed out more times than I can count, about a specific compatibility patch being needed and where to obtain it.

Pretty universal always mods for me; these being utility mods:

SKSE64
Unofficial Skyrim Patch
SKSE64 Engine Fixes
Address Library for SKSE
Unofficial Skyrim Modders Patch
SkyUI
MCM Helper
Powerofthrees Tweaks
Papyrus Utilities
Powerofthrees Papyrus Extension (I think it's called)
Racemenu
bodyslide

and I may be missing one or two. Check also the REQUIREMENTS on the front page of each mod. It will tell you if the mod you are looking at, has prerequisites that it needs.

Should ı download ''Unofficial Skyrim Modders Patch'' this after ı download all my other mods since it seems to contain multiple fixes for them?

Some mods are version-dependent on your version of the game executable which is SkyrimSE.exe (it doesn't matter if you have the AE Upgrade or not, all current game versions use this executable). The modpage will generally say so if this is the case. If you are new to the game and/or modding you should be using the most current executable (1.6.640). If you aren't certain what version you are running, it is displayed in-game in the lower left corner of the System tab under "Quit". You can also find your game version number in SkyrimSE.exe's "Properties" in Windows.

You mostly don't need to worry about this unless the mod is skse-dependent and/or contains a .dll file.

if you use Nexus to find mods, it shows what version of the game they are compatible with. I recommend the Vortex Mod Manager app to pair.

Personally I would not recommend using that - the overwhelmingly vast majority of fixes are contained within USSEP and Engine Fixes. And as to it containing "fixes" for other mods - you should be sticking with those patches specifically mentioned by the mod author themself, or a patch that is dedicated to patching just the one specific mod.

If there is such a list, then by now the list is outdated and incomplete......

[Sep]

That would be hard to define....

Just because a mod is no longer update doesn't mean it is broken.. many mod have gone thru several years since the last update and still working fine..

That wouldn't make them outdated.
It's only when an update renders the mod or at least some parts of it, nonfunctioning that it would be outdated.

Which means you need people testing them, and even then you get some people saying a mod doesn't work and others saying it works fine.... which in turn leads to arguements and the list becoming outdated or even wrong.....

[SpeedFreak1972]

Also take into account that a substitute mod is not always better

For instance it can lack of features present in the older mod
