As you might know, Bethesda's own modding service - Bethesda.net - has been offline since 29 November for maintenance. This has meant that the in-game mod browser and Creation Club content were not available for Skyrim Special Edition players on Steam, Epic and Xbox Game Pass (GOG users are not affected as they don't have these integrations). 

At 02:16 GMT Bethesda released the following statement on their official Discord server:

Quote

Good evening everyone, and thank you all for waiting while our team worked diligently to attain a more concrete timeline. 🙇 

Our already lengthy window was prolonged due to maintenance on the server to improve functionality. This includes migrating all mods to new server architecture and due to the massive number of mods hosted, migration estimates varied. Our team is happy to confirm that tomorrow (Tuesday December 5th) we will have the final touches on our prolonged maintenance, and once complete, we will deploy a patch for Skyrim Anniversary Edition and the Skyrim Special Edition Creation Kit.

Additionally, we've been working with SKSE to ensure this popular extension can be smoothly updated following the game patch.

Any additional updates on maintenance will be provided here on Tuesday, and on our Bethesda.net status portal: https://status.bethesda.net/

 

This confirms that an update is coming very soon and will cause Skyrim Script Extender and any mods that depend on it to stop working. Further to this, Nukem's Creation Kit Fixes (and the updated version by perchick71) will most likely stop working for the updated Creation Kit. 

 

Backing Up Skyrim

If you want to be able to easily switch back to the current version, I highly recommend you back up your copy of Skyrim (provided you have sufficient hard drive space to do so!). The best way to do this would be to use the "Purge Mods" button (if using Vortex to install mods) and then open your Skyrim Special Edition install folder. You should copy this entire folder to a new location. A list of files is provided below:

Yeah, just got caught by the update, despite doing the things to stop it auto updating 😕

The downgrade patcher is currently being worked on.

My thinking as there has been no announcement/patch notes... This is prep work for more updates. Toddy's Christmas present to Skyrim modders 😉

Oh bottoms. I thought I'd set my Steam acf file to Read Only but I guess not.

Hey ho. I suppose I'll find something else to do for a day or few. Maybe even play different game..!!  Oh, the horror of it all. Literally spent about six weeks building this playthrough as well : -(
