SSE Making a mod to play old SE now AE is here

[dizietemblesssma]

Having backed up my SSE folder (after purging mods), I am going to create a mod for Vortex that will overwrite updated files with the 1.5.97 versions so that I can keep my mods, until such time that SKSE64 and oters catch up - assuming they do:)

However, I have seen different lists of files that are necessary to put back, some list just the exe fies, some list all the esm and bsa files.

At the moment I'm making a mod for each set, but I wondered if anyone here can enlighten me?

I haven't allowed steam to install the free update to Skyrim yet while I sort this out.

Related question, would the list of files be different for getting version 1.5.97 back if the paid for AE is installed?

I thought about copying the whole install folder to a new location and running from there, but I would like to keep space usage down if I can.
