Special Edition Vs Anniversary Edition

[Setsuna]

Which Edition should i get? Its enough to go with Special Edition or should i go for anniversary edition? I wanna add some mods from Nexus mod and i hear with Anniversary some mods wouldn't work anymore (can't confirm, its true)

Just for reference, Anniversary Edition is simply the Special Edition with the Anniversary DLC.

My recommendation? Just get the Special Edition. AE adds so much stuff, (junk), everywhere, its hard to tell where the actual game is. Then later get the AE on sale.

Most issues with AE and mods have been resolved.

Anniversary all day long. The extra content is great. Why anyone would recommend against this edition is bonkers.

Regardless of what you purchase it will be Special Edition as far as the base game is concerned. That's because there is no base game called "Skyrim Anniversary Edition".

The base game comes with the same 3 DLC's it always has but as of 11/11/2021 they added 4 Creation Club (CC) mods to it:
Fishing
Saints & Seducers
Rare Curios
Survival Mode
So they have become part of the base game.

They also introduced a new Anniversary DLC on 11/11/2021 which consists of 70 CC Mods.

Mods are of course plentiful for the above content.

If you already own Skyrim Special Edition and haven't updated your game since before 11/11/2021 then you do not have the 4 Free CC mods. A simple update will bring those 4 items along with some other enhancements. The latest version is 1.6.640

If you're just now purchasing the base game you'll be up to date (1.6.640).

The good news is pure texture and mesh mods for Skyrim Special Edition work on all versions. Matter of fact unless a mod has a .dll plugin you can use the vast majority of existing mods for Skyrim SE will work on 1.6.640 so in your case if pure texture mods are all you're adding you are good to go.

You really have to pay close attention when adding mods that are dependent on the Script Extender (SKSE64). Those mods must be for your game version.

I am enjoying it, but for someone who has not played the game, I think it would be overwhelming to the point of confusion.

Also you don't need the DLC and the 4 free CC mods that come with the base game really don't get in the way because the one that does, Survival Mode, you can choose to never turn on. There's even a mod to stop the prompt for it.

Adult mod. There is many adult mod that isn't compatible with the cc content.
