mormegil27 Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 I set Steam to never update Skyrim unless I tell it to. Well, it updated it anyway, because of course it did. My game is now broken, crashes immediately to desktop. I would like to find out the latest version of Skyrim that any of my mods can handle so I can find the correct version to role it back to. How would I go about this? Is there a setting in Vortex that can be turned on to show the compatible game version for each mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormegil27 Posted October 13 Author Share Posted October 13 This is strange. So I think I found my old game version, but now SKSE is saying its the wrong version. There must be a way to make all your mods, SKSE, and game file all the same version. This is clearly a problem, why not just list the compatible game versions with everything in Vortex?

mormegil27 Posted October 13 Author Share Posted October 13 I'm still chasing this and considering it's a mod patch. Some mods don't seem to have old versions, but clearly my mod manager had an older version before. For example, it appears that I somehow patched the Unofficial Skyrim patch from 4.3.0a to 4.3.2. But If I go to versions in Vortex, it shows earlier versions before 4.3.2, but not 4.3.0a. Well clearly I had 4.3.0a installed or it wouldn't say in the history "Revert to 4.3.0a". So are all versions in the Vortex folder? I note that if you simply click "Revert to 4.3.0a" this appears to just change the label in the mod list, it doesn't actually do anything like reapplying/deploying the mod. Which is not useful.

mormegil27 Posted October 13 Author Share Posted October 13 (edited) I think it is too complex for me to sort this. Looks like I've lost months of game time, and it's not great. Can anyone suggest a place / forum where maybe I can attempt to either: (1) Learn how to read the skse64.log files and determine the crash reason. (2) Extract my character data / all the quest advancement from a save file and port it into a repaired version of skyrim? Thanks!

7531Leonidas Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 There is a nexus.wiki that has a spreadsheet-style compatibility display here ( https://modding.wiki/en/skyrim/users/skse-plugins ). As to reverting your Skyrim installation, search for 'downgrade', or 'downgrader' on the Skyrim SE mods section. For SKSE, the compatibility for each Skyrim version is displayed at silverlock.org. WRT the Unofficial patch, you can only get the latest version from official channels, but there are more than a few who could help you find older versions (sadly, I am not one of them). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mormegil27 Posted October 14 Author Share Posted October 14 Yup, the Unofficial patch says it is only compatible with the newest Skyrim version. So I either need to update all my mods to the newest version or somehow get the older Unofficial patch version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormegil27 Posted October 15 Author Share Posted October 15 After going through my mods, and updating them, it appears the game is running smoothly with the latest Skyrim SE version. This has allowed me to recover my saved game - so far so good. Thank you again for your recommendations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, old versions are only "hidden" (not publicly listed on the downloads page), but can still be downloaded if you can find the file's URL.* I'd share any if I had them, but I haven't had much reason to track them down.** * Nexus Mods lets you hide older downloads on your mods. But it doesn't have an easy way to actually delete them, so as not to break mod collections that need that specific file. (I think you have to contact site staff to have them delete your file, if you absolutely need it.) ** I didn't have Skyrim SE set up until the latest version anyway, for reasons I've documented here.
