The problem I have with the new version of Skyrim is that when I don’t want to use a mod before going back to the game it always wants me to reload the mod very annoying

[@shiujiva]

Got so fed up with the updates breaking my SKSE game that I built a pc specifically for Skyrim that will never be connected to the internet. Got all my mods to a point where I’m happy with the visuals & will stick with version 1.6.640.

The new fixes list, as I read it: • controller fixes for consoles that mean nothing to me • various creation club fixes that mean nothing to me • fixes for PS5 creation club issues that mean nothing to me • fixes for Xbox creation club issues that mean nothing to me • GoG version: actually good and important fixes especially re: saves • several trivial fixes A whole lot of "fixes" for parts of the software that doesn't affect my play on GoG 1.6.659 at all.

Bethesda literally never fix anything, they just keep ruining mods deliberately...

[@DeathSithe92]

these updates believe it or not are more malicious than you might realize, they are typically released to constantly F with the 3rd party mod developers so people are more likely to get fed up with the amount of A: waiting for mod updating to catch up and B: having to fix/update said mods in hopes people just cave and go to the creation club which somehow always seems to be updated with the update.....odd....

[@DakiniDream]

@@DeathSithe92 Sure, but i play TES since Morrowind, modded the hell out of oldrim and all other versions. Now mostly if i return to my ... home, i play the Gog version. So no online requirements, fix version, and i can set-up different mod-list for different versions if i want so. I only will install a new version once the needed mods have been updated, same for the skse versions.

Bethesda must want their customers to hate them.. *sigh* I think ill leave the game uninstalled for awhile until they decide to leave Skyrim alone, and stop giving it uneeded updates

I've yet to encounter a single mod good enough to be worth moving on from 1.5.97. All the major mods like Skywind, Skyblivion, Beyond Skyrim are all using older stable versions too. I know for a fact that over at odyssey of the dragonborn we are still using the old CK, as they somehow managed to brick the old CK with the new updates too.

[@ToxicStoopid]

Ever since they released the creations update and even though I reverted it using your guide I can't get my game to work at all

[@Angelfyre.]

I can’t get my game to work either, it crashes on the BGS logo when I try to use the Steam Console to downgrade & the unofficial downgrade patcher. Thankfully I have a 1.5.97 version from fall that I had auto updates disabled & set the appid to read only. Now I just gotta pray I never have to validate local files

[@zamarickz]

@@Angelfyre.You may need "Backported Extended ESL Support" mod. They raised the file size for ESL mods in a recent update, and some newer mod take advantage of that. Trying to load those mods without that ESL support will cause an immediate crash.

[@Alphai684]

Hi, the first week after the update in December I had a lot of trial and error to get my game back to running. (1.59.7) I finally found the solution, but since then CK gives me still some headache. So I downloaded Skyrim SE again (Have stored it as Backup-Files since then) and downgraded it with BOB (Best of both) downgrade patcher. Then I installed BEES (Backported Extended ESL Support) with some other cucial mods, got the newest SKSE and USSEP. For BEES has to load in starting a game!, I now only can start Skyrim with MO Modorganizer or Vortex, not directly from SKSE in Skyrim Main Folder. Little by little I then installed all my other mods and tested, if Skyrim still is starting and running. This took a while, but it worked. Hope you find this Info useful. To prevent your game from further updates, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps and set appmanifest_489830 in Properties to "Read only". Also go into your Steam library, select Skyrim and therfor its properties and set Updates to only executed, when next time starting via Steam. Needless to say, you should then never start Skyrim via Steam again. The update is then shown as "pending". In my case forever. :)

[@TimSeraphiel]

Bethesda are stuck in a rut and have been for the last nine years or so. They need to stop tinkering with Skyrim and start creating new TES games again. As someone who started their TES journey back when Arena was first released, the wait for the next TES game has been way too long IMO. I was finished with Skyrim back in 2015! Played it to death.

[@patrickarmstrong8908]

I am done with Bethesda's updates. Too many great mods broken and whose authors have moved on. The changes which Bethesda are making are just not worth it. If they really want to improve the game, incorporate the engine fixes, the USSEP, the address lib, the SKSE... and the best features of the most popular mods no longer supported by their authors. The heavy lifting has already been done by the mod authors.

[@zamarickz]

After the last update I made the decision to revert to 1.6.640. It was a huge pain to rollback all of those DLL related mods, especially since some 1.6.640 versions of those mods are no longer readily available, but I got everything working fine. I should be able to avoid any future headaches with new updates by just refusing to get the update (or overwriting the files again).

[@danielkjm]

How? I tried that but most mods i use have no support for 1.6.640

[@Xarthys]

@@danielkjm I reverted back to 1.6.640 and was basically able to rebuild my full mod list again with pretty much all of the mods working. You might want to check in old files for some mods as that's what I had to do to find the correct versions.

[@nowherebrain]

[@OzzyMcBean]

I'd love a dedicated video tutorial! I gave up entirely on trying to mod Skyrim on my Steam Deck after trying for about eight hours. Bad timing I guess, as I only found out afterwards that they'd recently updated the game and that it had caused all sorts of problems.

[@willlane2388]

Does anyone know why they're doing this? Why not work the next game instead of one over a decades old?

[@MLPDethDealr32]

To push people to buy Starfield and inflate the number of players. I refuse to buy that game. So i went back to Modded Fallout 4 and New Vegas.

[@295Phoenix]

This shit all started when they released Creations store. Their store was buggy so they needed to fix it but broke some other things, so now they try to fix the things they broke but aren't good enough to fix shit without breaking other stuff.

[@Hardcrafter2807]

@@MLPDethDealr32 I would say they're just trying to milk Skyrim as much as they can. Especially with the new paid mods system. If they can get enough people who are willing to pay for the mods, they're going to be making bank.

[@bdleo300]

@@Hardcrafter2807 it still makes no sense why not releasing one big 'update' with all these minor CC 'patches' instead of nuking mods every few weeks. That's just pure disrespect, even open hate towards modders and players in general.

Hey Apoqsi, what's the mod(s) you're using in the video for the compass and widget in the upper left with the on-screen display of weight, gold, level, etc? I don't recognize it.

[@tracydelmere2271]

even with updates and mods i still find myself going back to the older elder scrolls games, just replayed oblivion now binging daggerfall. it still boggles my mind how much the game has been watered down over the years, you would think they would be adding stuff not removing it. we use to have spellmaking, there was a climbing skill, speed use to count towards attacking, levitation was possible, stores randomly generate wares and was not preset. it is possible to fail a quest entirely including the main quest, quests would random generate the npc you got it from would not have that same one in another run, it was possible to lose your bounty because if your reputation increases enough guards will leave you alone. its also possible vise versa if you have a bad rep npcs wont talk to you, a loan could be taken out of the bank, nudity was present and widespread, you could join different factions such as kynareth or julianos, there are soo many more great ideas they just abandoned i cant even scratch the surface..

[@raughboy188]

I won't have any trouble with updates, i migrated to GOG version so i don't have to use downgrader because GOG gives you option to downgrade or upgrade game as you please unlike steam. All i need to get inspired and mod the game again.

So salty about Starfield, that I can't even appreciate Skyrim anymore to some degree. Even Palworld feels like a better game than Starfield.

[@bjaxfl]

Bethesda screwed themselves over with the creation club paid mod content. Since they’re implementing PAID MODS, they now have no choice but to go in and fix what ever bugs or issues show up with said paid mods, and the creation store. So now the updates will never stop, downgrading is the only option for modders.

[@ladislav-galgoczi]

Bethesda not fixing the mods just read what they say ,you installing mods on your own responsibility if it breaks your game they have nothing to do with it. So when the mod isnt compatible with another mod and breaks your game you just throw out your money in the garbagecan.

[@levimcclelland]

when the last update happened, I couldn't even use any of the creations with mods because after a minute of gameplay it would become corrupted and becoming unplayable, so I just had to not use any of the creations but since this update that has no longer been an issue, but I can't use any of the address library mods like Dynamic Animation Replacer etc but it's not that big of a deal in my opinion

[@jenniferchoate5600]

I've updated my SKSE to 2.2.6 but it says that it's only meant for VR Skyrim. Which I don't have, nor will I play it in VR, but the fact remains that I can't use the new and updated SKSE for my game. I get that Bethesda is trying to make their games more console friendly. But to the point where my game breaks when I got to create a new character when I've spent nearly a full day trying to get my mods installed and working properly. Especially, since most mods are SKSE dependent. I've downgraded it and hope it'll work but it still irritates me that this happened. Thanks for creating this video and sharing it with us. Greatly appreciate it.

[@Apoqsi]

You installed the VR version of SKSE. You need SKSE64, non-VR.

.Net Script Framework and No Grass in Objects are not the only mods that 1.6.640 doesn't support. Some additional mods not supported on the 1.6+ versions of Skyrim include Combat Pathing Revolution and any mod made by maxsu. Sure his awesome SCAR mod is patched for AE by someone else, but a lot of his other mods are not. That said, if someone could let me know what the advantages are of using 1.6.640 over 1.5.97, besides the more widespread mod support, I would really appreciate it.

How do you know what mods support 1.6.640? I lot of them dont say what old version supports it.

[@RevanKnight56]

@@danielkjm I either use the list that Apoqsi linked in the video description or I just look on the mod description and guess. It is true that a majority of mods these days support 1.6.640 version of Skyrim, but the mods I listed in my original comment alone are making me hesitant to switch from 1.5.97 to 1.6.640. It also helps that some of the mods made with 1.6.640 in mind have been backported to 1.5.97, like the SimonMagus mod Stormcrown.

If Bethesda wanted to stay in player's good graces, they would make an Official Patch Mod, downloadable from the Bethesda website, when at all possible.

[@The_fox_of_christmas]

Yes please Make a detailed tutorial on how to downgrade Skyrim. I am not very tech savvy and I'm just now jumping into mods and I don't have a lot of resources that I understand clearly. Thank you for your time.

[@mintymalty]

An individual video covering what mods you'd neef dor what versionof the game would be extremely helpful!

[@stefanstoyanov7460]

Every new "update" makes Oldrim look more and more appealing. So far I have updates disabled but if Steam and Bugthesda somehow find a way to sneak upon me I'll uninstall Skyrim for good.

[@darrelljohnson1319]

everything Microsoft owns turns to crap all updates are downgrades. I can't even get thalmore execution order anymore with new character so it's not worth playing anymore

[@wilsonng7554]

i dont know why skyrim always updates after updating, i even cant launch the game

[@mrfishsticks266]

Well, it didn't fix my crashing problem in creations menu

[@feywinterfox9630]

I don't get the people that are around now at Bethesda, and I say it that way because we have to be clear that these are NOT the same people who made Elder Scrolls 1, 2 and 3, they are just meat riding off the name of those that came before them like so many Devs now days. That said regardless of which generation of Devs you are, you would THING one thing has always been clear with Bethesda and it is that the Modding community is their LIFE BLOOD, hell more so when you take into count that after the REAL good people left and we have the ones making games that can hardly run day with with a stick of gum holding it together with some pocket lent, a hope, a pray, and a dream, only for the Modding community to come in a outright FIX your game AND give it a life line of over of 10 to 20 plus years and STILL going strong, you would think that at best they give a smile, nod and a wink, and not try to piss said group of people off.

So, you are correct, but the plugins for 1.6.1170 are still not working is what I'm telling you.

[@DanteKurosaki]

Dude, I bought the new CC Mods, and they disable achievements! Like, are you fxcking serious!?

[@stevenlaboe3585]

Very enlightening video as usual, thanks. However, Bethesda's insistence in issuing these additional updates has in all fairness ruined the gaming experience for this platform. I'll stick with the version I have and play with the mods I KNOW function properly, and that's all she wrote. Thanks Bethesda, thanks for destroying the modding capabilities of one of the best games ever created. Sure hope it was worth it. That's one hell of legacy you've established.

[@havenkoff189]

bethesda is the only company that will punish the extensive work of modders by pushing these updates adter 10+ years. If not for mods skyrim would've died a long time ago. I myself had to downgrade to 1.5.97 because i wanted to have the most options for modding. Just leave the game alone and move on with your corpo-rat bullshit bethesda!

[@MLPDethDealr32]

I uninstalled Skyrim after this crap and went back to Fallout 4 and New Vegas.

[@israelisanarphartheidstate]

i really hope beyond skyrim works for 1.5.97, i dont to be forced to use version 1.6

[@willparkinson3723]

If they haven't fixed it in 10+ years, obviously it's not that important.

[@Phantom_Knowledge]

Thank God I still haven't updated from the pre-creations version
