Why does Vortex keep forcing auto updating of Skyrim SE to AE

[Grizzly02281961]

Why is Vortex insisting on updating Skyrim SE so you are forced to install Skyrim AE? The file in particular that is being force updated is the Unofficial Skyrim SE Patch. The previous version of this file has been archived and no longer available on Nexus making a lot of mods nonfunctional. Is Bethesda paying Nexus to help force players to pay for a lame regurgitated version of the game?

 

Lets face it, the Skyrim AE release is an attempt by Bethesda to cash in on a popular game by adding 4 lame mods to it that would never stand on their own and say it's new and approved. It is not. Please make the older version of USSEP available again and stop the forced auto update.

That pdf you posted is for an informational message. You are free to ignore it.

Also: You can have a forced update, or an auto update. "Forced auto update" does not make sense in English. And Vortex does none of those.

Apparently your game has already been updated to Skyrim AE. That update would have come from Bethesda through Steam or GOG or wherever you got the game. As rmm200 has pointed out, Vortex is simply notifying you that it has detected that you have a new game version incompatible with at least one of your mods.

 

If you wish to downgrade to a previous version, there are a several ways to do that, as has been discussed in several Skyrim SE forums. One way that looks promising is this one: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/57618. Use at your own risk.
