Step Guide is very good and for AE... but it is for MO2. maby it would work for Vortex to?

I am doing a playthroug with Survival Moda for the first time now and it is rather nice i think. So for me no need for iNeed anymore.

Or just install this mod... https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/79599

I use THIS mod to solve the problem.

As far as i understad it only changes behaviour. I asume you did read the description? http://ai-gamer.com/skyrim/ic-se/

Yes. Current SKSE version for AE is 2.1.4. And it works just fine About the above list a few comments... bvefore installing any mod... READ THE DESCRIPTION... XPMSSE skeleton only if neede i think (i dont use it anymore). HDT-SMP or UNP and that type of mods if you are going for a "sexier" game. Dont go with FNIS, go with more up to date Nemesis if you need it. NetSCriptFramework is not updated yet and will not work! Reacemenu for AE is aviable on the authors Patreon page (for free) LazyTools, The Manipulator and Bosse is nothing i have vere heard about or used for skyrim SE/AE. Also never seen in any guides. Interesting. Offboard tools: DO NOT GO THERE YET, learn to install basic mods with MO" first I woyuld start with these tools: Install MO2, LOOT, xEdit and BethINI, and maby Nemesis if you will be adding a lot of animations. (To be honest... the list above by @anjenthedog is very strange for a strting point modding SE/AE) Current status for some of the most used SKSE-dependent mods regarding AE: https://modding.wiki/en/skyrim/users/skse-plugins

I have played over 1k hours of Skyrim SE. Never seen the gold under misc or anywhere in my inventory i think, only down in the right corner. :o Is it a SkyUI thing maby?

I dont think updating to AE will cause you that much trouble. I did update and also even bought the extra "Aniversary Upgrade"-package. Running 304 active mods atm with no issues. Dyndolod 3 is great, doubt you will have any major problems with it, i used latest version (alpha-58) on my current list. :)

Content Picker maby? https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/58890 Or just downgrade with "best of both worlds", https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/57618

So true. It will be a mess for mod authors trying to support versions for both 1.5.97 and 1.6.342 in the long run. New players will be confused, being told to "downgrade" a game they just bought to be able to use some mods. Mod list authors staying on 1.5.97 will have a massive job telling new users how to downgrade. This is like when SSE was launched all over again. Some people will say "i will never update"... but the vast majority will.

Patreon

Yes. Of some odd and stupid reason the SKSE-team named the latest SKSE "Preliminary AE". This confuses people. The game version is the same with or without the paid CC-mod-bundle called "Aniversary Upgrade".

This is my humble opinion to.

I have stoped cleaning official plugins, that means DLCs and CC-content. I clean other mods unless author say not to.
