Daelyn Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 So I've been talking to people here since mid december of 2023 trying to get my older version of Skyrim AE 1.6.640 to run with 400+ mods, and I finally got it working yesterday, but when I went to load my saved game, it seemed to work but nearly all the cc content was missing. I have two installs, the one I want to use, and the bait one that steam is to update whenever it wants, which won't affect my 1.6.640 version, yet the cc files are the same in both installations. These 4 files: ccBGSSSE001-Fish, ccBGSSSE025-AdvDSGS, ccBGSSSE037-Curios, and ccQDRSSE001-SurvivalMode are the same in both installations, and are the only cc files I can find. I went into the bait install, and redownloaded all the cc content, which is supposed to be 74 cc mods, but then it was still left with the same 4 cc files afterwards, so it basically accomplished nothing. When I went to another website to look at what the cc files are supposed to look like in a normal install in the data folder, it showed me a picture listing of all of these below but I do not know how to get them. Does anyone know? I've spent a long time trying to get 1.6.640 back up and running, and finding this issue that is still stopping me from using my saved games is quite frustrating. Where are these files to be found? ccafdsse001-dwesanctuary.bsa ccafdsse001-dwesanctuary.esm ccasvsse001-almsivi.bsa ccasvsse001-almsivi.esm ccbgssse002-exoticarrows.bsa ccbgssse002-exoticarrows.esl ccbgssse003-zombies.bsa ccbgssse003-zombies.esl ccbgssse004-ruinsedge.bsa ccbgssse004-ruinsedge.esl ccbgssse005-goldbrand.bsa ccbgssse005-goldbrand.esl ccbgssse006-stendarshammer.bsa ccbgssse006-stendarshammer.esl ccbgssse007-chrysamere.bsa ccbgssse007-chrysamere.esl ccbgssse008-wraithguard.bsa ccbgssse008-wraithguard.esl ccbgssse010-petdwarvenarmoredmudcrab.bsa ccbgssse010-petdwarvenarmoredmudcrab.esl ccbgssse011-hrsarmrelvn.bsa ccbgssse011-hrsarmrelvn.esl ccbgssse012-hrsarmrstl.bsa ccbgssse012-hrsarmrstl.esl ccbgssse013-dawnfang.bsa ccbgssse013-dawnfang.esl ccbgssse014-spellpack01.bsa ccbgssse014-spellpack01.esl ccbgssse016-umbra.bsa ccbgssse016-umbra.esm ccbgssse018-shadowrend.bsa ccbgssse018-shadowrend.esl ccbgssse019-staffofsheogorath.bsa ccbgssse019-staffofsheogorath.esl ccbgssse020-graycowl.bsa ccbgssse020-graycowl.esl ccbgssse021-lordsmail.bsa ccbgssse021-lordsmail.esl ccbgssse031-advcyrus.bsa ccbgssse031-advcyrus.esm ccbgssse034-mntuni.bsa ccbgssse034-mntuni.esl ccbgssse035-petnhound.bsa ccbgssse035-petnhound.esl ccbgssse036-petbwolf.bsa ccbgssse036-petbwolf.esl ccbgssse038-bowofshadows.bsa ccbgssse038-bowofshadows.esl ccbgssse040-advobgobs.bsa ccbgssse040-advobgobs.esl ccbgssse041-netchleather.bsa ccbgssse041-netchleather.esl ccbgssse043-crosselv.bsa ccbgssse043-crosselv.esl ccbgssse045-hasedoki.bsa ccbgssse045-hasedoki.esl ccbgssse050-ba_daedric.bsa ccbgssse050-ba_daedric.esl ccbgssse051-ba_daedricmail.bsa ccbgssse051-ba_daedricmail.esl ccbgssse052-ba_iron.bsa ccbgssse052-ba_iron.esl ccbgssse053-ba_leather.bsa ccbgssse053-ba_leather.esl ccbgssse054-ba_orcish.bsa ccbgssse054-ba_orcish.esl ccbgssse055-ba_orcishscaled.bsa ccbgssse055-ba_orcishscaled.esl ccbgssse056-ba_silver.bsa ccbgssse056-ba_silver.esl ccbgssse057-ba_stalhrim.bsa ccbgssse057-ba_stalhrim.esl ccbgssse058-ba_steel.bsa ccbgssse058-ba_steel.esl ccbgssse059-ba_dragonplate.bsa ccbgssse059-ba_dragonplate.esl ccbgssse060-ba_dragonscale.bsa ccbgssse060-ba_dragonscale.esl ccbgssse061-ba_dwarven.bsa ccbgssse061-ba_dwarven.esl ccbgssse062-ba_dwarvenmail.bsa ccbgssse062-ba_dwarvenmail.esl ccbgssse063-ba_ebony.bsa ccbgssse063-ba_ebony.esl ccbgssse064-ba_elven.bsa ccbgssse064-ba_elven.esl ccbgssse066-staves.bsa ccbgssse066-staves.esl ccbgssse067-daedinv.bsa ccbgssse067-daedinv.esm ccbgssse068-bloodfall.bsa ccbgssse068-bloodfall.esl ccbgssse069-contest.bsa ccbgssse069-contest.esl cccbhsse001-gaunt.bsa cccbhsse001-gaunt.esl ccedhsse001-norjewel.bsa ccedhsse001-norjewel.esl ccedhsse002-splkntset.bsa ccedhsse002-splkntset.esl ccedhsse003-redguard.bsa ccedhsse003-redguard.esl cceejsse001-hstead.bsa cceejsse001-hstead.esm cceejsse002-tower.bsa cceejsse002-tower.esl cceejsse003-hollow.bsa cceejsse003-hollow.esl cceejsse004-hall.bsa cceejsse004-hall.esl cceejsse005-cave.bsa cceejsse005-cave.esm ccffbsse001-imperialdragon.bsa ccffbsse001-imperialdragon.esl ccffbsse002-crossbowpack.bsa ccffbsse002-crossbowpack.esl ccfsvsse001-backpacks.bsa ccfsvsse001-backpacks.esl cckrtsse001_altar.bsa cckrtsse001_altar.esl ccmtysse001-knightsofthenine.bsa ccmtysse001-knightsofthenine.esl ccmtysse002-ve.bsa ccmtysse002-ve.esl ccpewsse002-armsofchaos.bsa ccpewsse002-armsofchaos.esl ccqdrsse002-firewood.bsa ccqdrsse002-firewood.esl ccrmssse001-necrohouse.bsa ccrmssse001-necrohouse.esl cctwbsse001-puzzledungeon.bsa cctwbsse001-puzzledungeon.esm ccvsvsse001-winter.bsa ccvsvsse001-winter.esl ccvsvsse002-pets.bsa ccvsvsse002-pets.esl ccvsvsse003-necroarts.bsa ccvsvsse003-necroarts.esl ccvsvsse004-beafarmer.bsa ccvsvsse004-beafarmer.esl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indio21 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 (edited) If you purchased them through steam, then that is where you download them. After the game installs and you go to run it, a pop up window will open saying you have the CC content to download. Takes a bit as download is pretty big. I realize this area I am going to mention is not part of your question, but think you should know. I have never ever heard of a bait LO or whatever. I am not even sure how you think you are accomplishing that. I'd think you'd need two installs of the game and I have no idea how Beth and or steam would not know they were there to update. It's not like its going to quit looking after one if steam knows its installed twice. This is beyond my exposure or thought process so I am not even sure I am explaining it right, lol. Bottom line is, there are established ways to protect your system from updating. I know there is a thread pinned in general discussions for SSE on steam and I think there is a thread here in the SSE forum on nexus. Hope it helps and happy modding! EDIT: And you have to have an account with Beth. Edited March 1 by Indio21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: And you have to have an account with Beth. Bethesda will keep updating Skyrim this year and possibly over the next few years. The change in version number is messing a lot of people's mods up, and causing a lot of mayhem with saved games. I have a save (several of them) that I am playing off of that I am recording a long character story for my YouTube channel since January of 2023. There is only one official way to prevent Steam from updating a single install, and that is to set it to not have it update unless started directly from steam. In my case, I have been using Vortex and wasn't launching from Steam, however in early December, it did update my installation after I had ended playing a session, regardless of me not using Steam to do so. Others have also had this issue. But there is another way to do it as well to prevent this. A seperate install where you have all your mods and your stable non-changing playable version of Skyrim is the best answer for this, however it is not connected to Bethesda and cannot access the mods from there as it is not recognized by steam. Well, this is why you'd have an official install for Steam to use, which i referred to as a bait install. Steam can update it all they want and it won't affect your current modded installation. As I wrote, the issue is that the non-official installation doesn't connect to Bethesda. But then when looking at the official installation and the cc mods there, they are the same as the non-offcial installation. So it makes no sense to me. Where are all of the 74 cc mods that come with the anniversary edition? They are not there in the official installation either, and in my non-official one, the only one I care about, my saved game cannot detect a whole host of missing cc mods. There is no file in the official install data folder that my non-official one doesn't have, as I have copied and pasted them all. As I wrote, in both installations there is only the four cc mods. So this makes zero sense to me, especially after today when I went into the official installtion, launched from steam, re-downloaded all 74 AE cc mods, and the only mods showing up in the data after that are the same four cc mods that were there before. So this is where I am, and I am left highly confused and wondering what the heck is going on. There has to be an easy answer for this to get the cc mods back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daelyn Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 Alright, so when I logged back into the steam install of Skyrim AE, it downloaded all the cc files I was looking for. But now when I copied and pasted them into my other install with the older game version, Skyrim crashes upon start up at the logo screen. I've deleted them all from the data folder, and left the original 4 cc mods in, and then it started again. Why would the cc mods cause the game to crash when launching from vortex? I wish this was going smoothly. I feel everytime I progress, I run into another roadblock shortly after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7531Leonidas Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Are you running BEES in your 1.6.640 LO? If not, the CC stuff you d/l were probably ones with the new 1.71000 header, OR the newer CC stuff doesn't play well w/the 1.6.640 versions of unofficial fixes for the game and/or CC fixes...

Thanks, all I needed at this point was to use the mod: the Backported Extended ESL Support - BEES-1_2 mod: And it all works perfectly fine now. Thanks for all the help from before, 7531Leonidas. It's much appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mistake, I thought the subject title and OP was your question......"I have a working version of Skyrim AE 1.6.640 now, but nearly all the CC content is missing? Where do I get them from?"......It seems by your reply it was answered, your welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronOfMpls Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 @Daelyn -- Completely optional, but, you can edit the first post to add "solved" to the title if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyxYiz Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I am not so sure that you have to have a Beth acct 1st. You get CC content from Steam because you paid for it with AE. Start Steam with internet access. From the Steam settings click Go Online if you are currently set at Offline. Start your Skyrim game. At your loading menu you will see Creations down below Continue - New - etc;.. Click that to go to the CC content page. You can d/l your stuff one at a time and are not locked into d/l all at once. Anything that has already been d/l and enabled will be marked as Owned. Anyone should be able to figure out the rest from here. I also seem to remember something about starting a game and quitting 1st then do your CC stuff, although I may be wrong about that. Try it both ways and see. AND... do not click Creations while in game, it will break your Skyui, set your level at novice without you knowing it and you can't permanently set it back until you have enabled it again in your Mod manager.
