SE or AE

[MarcusPyy]

Since both are still viable options for modding, which one should I choose?

You should pick the version you want to play.

 

No one knows your preferred way to play and since both are still viable options for modding, the decision is yours.

 

If you are looking for recommendations here's one: GOG $19 AE.

 

Mine is running just fine with 533 mods but it took awhile to add them.

There are a few GOG compatible collections available which makes things much easier, especially for premium accounts.

 

Let us know how it goes, OK?

I prefer 1.5.97. Others prefer the newer 1.6x ("AE") flavor. Each to his or her own. There are circumstances where you *might want 1.5.97 over 1.6x (or, visa versa). I can't speak to your personal choices.

 

AE includes content (like the newly included Bruma game vector) that 1.5.97 doesn't. 1.5.97 has (afaik) more support for older mods, and adult mods, if you're into that sort of thing)

 

Also running over 500 active mods (although I don't keep count much any more)
