greyday01 Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 It isn't the cost. It's all the unwanted and unchosen quests you are stuck with, plus all the patches needed to make AE play with all your other mods. A lot of patches. The content maybe with the exception of Fishing is just not worth the hassle. I prefer to choose my own mod list not get something like 70 added mods that I didn't choose.

SE received an Anniversary update which added four Creation Club mods, it is still SE though. When you buy the Anniversary Upgrade, you get all the Creation Club mods, and the game is still Special Edition (but with more DLC). You don't need to buy the Anniversary Upgrade (DLC). That upgrade does not include stuff released since then under Verified Creators program, for example Arquebus and East Empire Expansion. People have called the version of SE that the anniversary update landed on "AE", but there is no distinct anniversary edition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What DLC do I NOT have if I have SE, but not AE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AE is really SE. The Anniversary Upgrade has this (scroll down to the list): https://bethesda.net/en/article/3mxTW4iQYGrVZrWRqVfomQ/skyrim-anniversary-edition-and-creation-club-content-first-look Special Edition got an update on its 10 year anniversary, but the Anniversary Upgrade is separately bought DLC. If you buy it, it installs into Skyrim Special Edition. Edited June 21 by ModEnjoyer52 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSteelRanger Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 I don't know the regular price, since if you already had a copy of SSE, you got a discount. But I think the others are right, it'd be up to you. One thing I often do before getting a game, DLC, expansion or even a mod that's free, is I find a well-displayed rundown or playthrough of the thing I'm wondering about. Personally, I fell in love with the AE content, especially the bigger quest stuff and some of the player homes (I am a sucker for both). Heavy Burns, FudgeMuppet, and I think Gopher and Brodual all have excellent rundowns of what's all in AE. Check them out first if you're unsure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
