SSE Won't Launch Through Vortex

[LoganLee1222]

Hello,

 

I've been modding Skyrim Special Edition through Vortex for a couple years now. I recently took about a nine month break from playing and decided today to get back into playing. After checking for updates and downloading the latest versions of all my mods, I tried launching the game through Vortex but I get an error message saying that I have a version of SSE that is too new for SKSE64 to run. I checked the update logs on steam and it appears the game was updated last on the 6th of January, 2022, which I'm assuming is the issue. I uninstalled and reinstalled Vortex to see if that would help but I get the same message. I've never launched the game through SKSE64 before so I'm confused as to why this is happening. I also didn't download the Anniversary Update that recently came out, so as far as I know my game files should have changed minimally. Is there something I need to do to launch the game or is it a matter of waiting for the newest version to come out?

You need to go to the SKSE64 page and download the AE version. Version 2.1.5 for game version 1.6.353

 

It doesn't matter whether or not you downloaded the Anniversary Update, the core files all got updated regardless.

Download the file and then drag it into Vortex to install.

 

However, you're going to find that you'll need to update a bunch of other mods that use SKSE so that they are compatible with the new version.

 

If you don't want your game to change at all, you can try the "Unofficial Downgrade Patcher" which will revert the game back to the earlier version, but you'll then need to make sure your game doesn't get updated again.
