Currently, I am over 300 plugins. Game runs at a flat 60 fps and is smooth and responsive. The author did a great job detailing every step. I've only found a couple of the fomod installer pics to be outdated, but following the guide instructions I have had VERY minimal problems. I'm also not having a problem finding mods not in the guide either on nexus for SSE.
If you do decide to try it, as it is using the latest versions (CC stuff optional), I recommend reading this post I made to help another get going on it. There is links there I recommend reviewing first before beginning. Sort of some beginning setup and modding info, but very beneficial. https://forums.nexusmods.com/topic/13466492-mods-that-work-with-v161170/page/2/#comment-130386030
Also note, the author does state the AE has important fixes and updates not available elsewhere, and one reason I purchased it. Twenty bucks probably wouldn't buy me three beers at a tavern for entertainment, so I didn't care. Just my two cents.
Not sure why so many want to go back, and don't care, but things will only keep moving forward. I was just reading on JK's Interior mods before this and this is noted on them:
JK's mods are plugins (and meshes) only, so they work perfectly fine on any version of the .exe. However, a few of them (Castle Dour and the College of Winterhold, off the top of my head) use base definitions which were added to Update.esm as part of the AE release - so if you are attempting to be on plugin versions from prior to AE's release, you will crash.
To me, seems as though Beth and mod creators are moving forward is all I am saying.
Many who have been modding for a while will hold off for a short time and monitor our mods to see if these are updated and read the posts to get an idea if whether a mod will continue to function. If a mod does not get updated, we find an alternative or just move on.
I currently run 1.6.640 with about 460 mods.
I know that, just as I did when updating from 1.5.97 to 1.6.640, I will have to update my game to the current version. This will happen in the next few months. When the time comes, I will wipe the game completely and start over. It is better to start with a fresh install than just performing a game or mod update.
If anyone stays on an older version, as some do, they will eventually run into an issue and their favorite mods will no longer be available for the older game.
For the OP, the guide author noted above also has one for a clean install. This provides the best possible environment to run the game. You will want to start small with modding. Review the resources in the pinned topics as these have been compiled by those that have plenty of experience with modding this game. It takes a lot of patience.
Good Luck!
Yes, anyone newcomer's should play the vanilla game first. Modding should come later.
As for downgrading via the patcher or SteamDB downloads through the console access these are not a viable long term option.
I have never used the patcher and never will. I do have a full vanilla version backup of 1.6.640 as well as a backup of my modded version. When I finally upgrade, I will do the same thing regarding backing up the game.
