modding with AE free upgrade quick question

[raz]

Hey all, im currently modding skyrim and there is a question i have..

i play the version 1.6.1170 and some mods ask you what version you're using so you check the box whatever you got.

but a few mods only show you Skyrim SE 1.5 xxx and Skyrim AE 1.6.6xxxx and above

as example the powerofthree tweaks it only has the option with 1.5 or AE with version 1.6.6+

but im in between.. do i just dont download the mod at all or is one of them working?

Quick answer: powerofthree’s tweaks works with 1170.

Generally, exercise caution. If a mod advertises itself as 1170 compatible it’s 100% safe (or as safe as a mod can be).

If it’s 1.6.1130 it could be safe, might not. Same for 1.6.6xx it might not be okay. It might be fine.

If you have a mod you’re not sure about, add it by itself, load up the game and test. Then you’ll know if it’s good or not.

ahh. I see what's going on... no, you're not in-between, you're confusing yourself...

in PO3's 1.6.6+ and in "Skyrim AE 1.6.6xxxx and above" examples above, well, 1.6.1170 is "+" and "above" 1.6.6xxx... you're padding the xxx with 0s in your mind, thinking it's 6000 when it's 639, 640, etc. 1170 is the current and highest.
