Question about new computer setup and vortex and a sub question about SKSE

[7oggle]

So I know i can just copy my Skyrim SE game folder and put on my new computer but can I do the same with vortex? Because it would be pointless if I couldn't. The reason I want to do this is because I installed SE through steam on my new computer and apparently SKSE doesn't have a version for the newest SE.

 

 

 

 

My other question is I did notice that the latest version of SKSE for Aniversary Edition is for the same game version the new SE (1.6.353) is so would that work for SE?

 

*****EDIT******

 

Okay so I went ahead and just installed the Aniversary Edition version of SKSE and it did work. I know none of the SKSE mods will work though unless updated for it. Just wanted to share this info..

Anniversary Edition is Special Edition. It is a marketing name only.

TBH, I'm not sure about migrating Vortex to a new system. AFAIK, you can't only copy the game folder. You also need the whole Vortex mods folder. Vortex won't work without its dedicated mod folder. You'll probably also need the installation data from your system drive (usually C:). The files shouId be in "users/[your user name]/AppData/Roaming/Vortex. I successfully moved a Skyrim SE install with hundreds of mods to a new computer some time ago. But I can't remember how I did that exactly. Maybe someone else can give more precise instructions.

 

Regarding mods dependent on SKSE: IN fact, most of them DO work in AE. There are only some more complex mods, that won't run, especially those depending on .dll files. These definitely won't work without an update. A lot of stuff that needs SKSE works "out of the box" though, e.g. SkyUI (and most other hud mods).

 

Here's a comprehensive overview:

Alot of those mods that are showing incompatible on that list never even worked right on the original SE.

@Algabar Thanks for the reply, I think thats the most important folder to copy over the one in the "Roaming" because thats where all the downloads are staged etc. It should work but who knows. Worst case senario it doesnt work and I gotta install from scratch which is where Im at now anyway right?

 

I havent been in the mods section in a while are any authours updating for the Anniversary Edition skse?

I'll have to check it out. Either way I'll post back here to let ya'll know if it worked. Gonna take a while to zip up and move about 350 gigs though lol.. Not looking forward to that.
