A thought or two on Anniversary Edition and/or Special Edition.

[Brett41]

First off, I do not post in the Forums here very often so if this is redundant and has been brought up elsewhere, I aopogise for wasting your time. But This occurred to me shortly after the details of AE were announced, and I have been thinking about it ever since.

 

I am not a particularly skilled mod creator, nor am I a script wiz=-kiddie, but it seems to me that Bethesda and Toddy "IT JUST WORKS" Howard are trying to kill off user made modding, by making mod creators relearn the same (BUT Different) stuff all over again. It took me 18 months to learn the ins and outs of SE after having modding LE for 5 or 6 years, and now I find they want to do that same S**t all over again?

 

Thanks But I will keep SE for now. (and refuse to update it.) If I do get AE it will be a buy on a new Steam accounts deal. Especially as I just spent about a week installing 3 different Wabbajack modlists! -I have arealife job, y'know!)

 

Which brings me to the point: What do others think of the Admins CREATING a NEW "Skyrim Anniversary Edition" Game Topic in the Nexus, so there will be game options for Skyrim LE, Skyrim SE (As at present) and (New) Skyrim AE?

 

Because folding AE into the SE topics is only going to "muddy the waters" significantly. God knows, there are still LE/SE mod entries in both of those options where someone has produced both versions and posted in one (or other option) , making finding it a bit of a chore. (Especially if you cannot recall the Mod's effing name!)

 

My 2c worth....

It's an update to SE, not a new game. There is very little to "relearn" and the vast majority of mods do not need an update.

 

The only thing that is going to "muddy the waters" is people believing in stupid "Bethesda is trying to destroy modding" conspiracy theories.

Well spoken! +1

I personally think they should create a new anniversary page because I know a large portion of modders will stick with SSE pre-AE and new mods that will be released might not be created for AE. It's gonna be an added chore to see if mods have been updated for AE. With a new page for AE at least people will know straight away if a mod is added/updated for AE. With that being said it's too early to jump to conclusions and see what the authors do so for now might as well just sit back and wait at least a month.

Since the vast majority of mods will work on both the 1.5.97 version and the 1.6.318 version, where would you put the mods? Duplicate pages? Seems way easier to just have two files on any page that actually needs different versions, which will mainly be SKSE DLL type mods and any mod that makes use of the CC content.
