Why is my SKSE broken by Anniversary Edition if I don't have the said update?

[☧ Voievod]

Why?

[Blake]

Well if you haven't updated then you won't have AE so you have an other issue

[Lady Aeleanor]

The only way you get Anniversary Edition is if you *buy* it. If you are referring to the SSE free *game* update, and you didn't take steps to prevent it happening, then yes, your SKSE64 will be broken.

Wait, if I buy AE my SKSE will break?

[☧ Voievod]

I didn't buy AE but I think I updated the game. If I downgrade to 1.5.97 will my mods work?

Dude - it happens with every update - since launch - every single update - why would this be any different...? There are ways to protect a modded Skyrim that i thought were common practice (they sure used to be) but it seems no one is doing it these days - so they cry when a new update comes out lol...

Because it is 10 years. This game has last been updated 10 years ago. And now Bethesda, after 10 years .... adds fishing .... and try to maximise of this profit for adding fishing??

What are you talking about...? - There have been updates right up to at least 1-2 years ago at least... I know its been a while - but it happens with every single update in history and there have been loads of updates - Plus if anyone just did a little research/home work before modding they would know its common/good practice to protect a modded Skyrim...

Dude, 2017 was final update, and that only added

General performance and stability improvements
Improvements to Reporting mods categories
Fixed occasional crashes while scrolling through Load Order menu
Improved Bethesda.net error messaging

The game was even working fine at 2016 with SKSE and even after updates.

Thats not true - there were 'creation club updates' until way later... These were not big updates but they still broke SKSE - My point is regardless of when the last update was, is that this is NOT NEW and it always happened... If people want to mod a game they should educate themselves a little bit first dont you think...?

To be fair, this one is a little bit different. Usually, the update means SKSE just needs a version check update and the rest of your DLL plugin mods will work just fine.

The recent patch updated the compiler to Visual Studio 2019, meaning even after SKSE is updated, other DLL plugin mods will still need a bunch of work.

There are a couple fix mods that are casualties of this. A popular engine fixes mod won't be receiving an update to the new version at all per it's author, for instance.

edit: in the long run I think the growing pains will work themselves out, but mod makers and players will see a lot of changes as a result

Those updates affected Skyrim CC, not Nexus.

A quick version check of SKSE fixed those issue and mods worked perfectly.

As it is now, some mods are COMPLETELY broken, all because of fishing?

My game is broken as well and it's not due to the update. I was playing one day and then the next it decided to not load at all. I'm not surprised. This company makes great games but does not update things well or sometimes at all. Very frustrating. I was enjoying playing this game again.
