Does AE still break mods?

[nullpo]

Just wondering because I just install skyrim on my new PC and want to mod again, but wonder if I still need to downgrade to SE since it's been a while since the AE update.

- AE is NOT its own game app, their is only Skyrim SE.
- AE is just DLC, what you are worried about is the game version.
- If you very recently installed Skyrim SE, you have the version used by the AE DLC content to work correctly.

So if you install mods, they have to be for the latest game version, in MOST cases this really does NOT matter, UNLESS its a mod that requires SKSE.

Also take in account that more and more skse mods become version independent (NG principle)

yes I know that. What I am asking is if Skyrim SE with AE update/DLC still breaks mods, because I remember a lot of mods break with that update so it is recommended people don't update to that version. No need for jargon/technical mumbo jumbo lesson

I mostly only care about SkySA/MCO. The rest of the list I'll make it from scratch again since I lost my modlist

SkySa seems to only be an animation replacer. It's dependencies have been updated for the most recent version of the game, so if that was the only reason it wasn't working then it is working now.

I have no idea what MCO stands for. Search didn't really help.

Attack-MCO work fine on AE
Dodge-MCO, you need to downgrade it to 1.6.353

thanks a lot. I'll downgrade my game then.

I still keep my game downgraded, I'm not ready to change out my mods just yet.

Game updates don't break mods so Anniversary DLC or the Base game update is not the issue. We've been dealing with updates for several years now and the issue is with SKSE related mods and those that also have .dll plugin. The vast majority of mods that needed to be updated have been but obviously not all of them. Some mod authors are no longer modding so some will never be updated but some of those have already been replaced with similar versions by other mod authors.

The issue is people not protecting their games from updates. This way you don't miss a beat.

But if there is that mod that you must have and it's not yet updated then stick with your older version.

If a mod has been updated between now and November 2021, (i.e. updated within the last 2 years) then it should work with version 1.6+ without a hitch. (Baring Bethesda shenanigans)

If it HASN'T been updated since November 2021, then you should only run into issues specifically related to the 1.6 update if the mod uses SKSE as a dependency. (Again, baring Bethesda shenanigans)

I've used mods from Skyrim LE in my modlist before. It really depends on the type of mod it is, and what it does/changes.
