dannisderdraugr Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Hello,im german so at the beginning please excuse my english which may not be "the yellow from the egg" :laugh: As I said on the Topic Title:I installed Skyrim again. The last time i played Skyrim (about 1 year ago) I played the "normal" edition with the DLCs "Heratfire, Dawnguard etc." I also started to play mods which made this game much more interesting and fun than it already is.But many problems started to occur because i didnt use the special edition. Some mods crashed regularly and with hours of problem solving (of course with the help of many people on this forum and downloading many additional files and trying tips and tricks) i was able to fix some errors. But still there were some mods which just won´t run.So this time I installed Skyrim Special Edition and here we get to the question:Can I use my old save games from the "normal" Skyrim? I read some articles which said that it´s possible but just when there were no mods installed.But I have no save games without installed mods (I was dumb enough to erase many save games back then and it looks like I erased everyone were I didn´t used mods).But there is one save game were I installed only mods with additional "contents" like some items but no additional quests or big story lines with new maps or things like that. I already tried it and it worked! I can load the savegame but it says before loading: "This save uses content that no longer exists. Some items may no longer be available. continue anyway?-Cloaks.esp-HighResTexturePack01.esp-HighResTexturePack02.esp-HighResTexturePack03.esp-winterholdreborn.esp I think that those "mods" are just minor additions, so maybe i can use this save game without worrying that my game will crash later? But I am no expert so I hope you guys can give me some awnsers. As I said i just downloaded skyrim today after a long time and there are many things i have to read again in order to play some mods (downloading mod organizer, how it works and stuff like that).I hope this can work because my charakter is lv. 62 and i already waisted many hours in collecting rare stuff and decorating my homes etc. and if I have to start over again that would be... Not so nice. Sorry for the long text.Live long and prosper^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anjenthedog Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Afaik, you can't use LE saves in SE. Could be wrong but that's my understanding. Since you've already played enough to reach the 60s, methinks you could get there again quick enough, even from ground level. If you're frustrated because of losing items you have, that might have been "lucky finds", well, I know it's a cheat, but Add-Item-Menu comes to mind. If it's because of a bevy of followers or player homes you had, or whatever, (ex: artifacts), well, you can always get them back the way you got them in the first place, that is, if they even exist within the SE framework. I'd recommend looking at this as a different game, if for no other reason than to not fall into the (imo negative) habit of comparing them to your previous 32-bit game (or even transitioning from "SE" to "AE"). Some things are better, some things aren't. I've been forced to start over in SE several times during the past 3 years, due to my own carelessness or a game revision (or both). And not to condescend or anything, but It's not the end of the world, even if it's a bit frustrating. Best wishes and good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
