With the release of SSE it is now clear as I feared that a number of older mods will not run on SSE in spite of official statements that most older mods would just work (which, as a professional programmer I never believed). In the case of SKSE based mods this was expected. I am however, greatly concerned about older mod compatibility. I personally use a number of older mods which have not been updated in some time and are not likely to be ported to SSE because the authors feel the mods are complete, they are busy and can't mod, etc. What will happen with these mods? Will people who wish to use these mods in SSE simply be out of luck?

It seems like we are heading for a scenario where lots of great mods will not be available for SSE for whatever reason but newer mods, or newer versions of mods, will only be available for SSE.

I would greatly appreciate some *detailed* news/explanation/FAQ addressing this issue (or links if they already exist). What kinds of modes will need to be upgraded/ported? Will all mods need to go through the new CK? Just certain mods, like those using BSA? What about scripted mods? What about older mods that work just fine but probably wont get ported?

If I missed news answering these questions I apologize but so far I have been unable to find good answers to these questions, and what info I have found has been unclear.

I would also like to take this time to thank the modding community for all their hard work. Your efforts have greatly enriched Skyrim and made it one of the best gaming experiences ever. Thank you.

However, many mod incompatibilities are mainly due to the fact that SSE is running on a 64bit engine, which SKSE is currently incompatible with due to it being 32bit. It is logical to say that many mods whom require SKSE will be compatible when SKSE is update for use with SSE - but that isnt a garuntee.

all you can do is hope!

It's really just stumping me on how else we're going to get some great mods to come out for skyrim SE... meh. what to do...?

New mods seem to be appearing fast, and all the ones I've seen so far are very useful. Yes, there are a couple of important ones missing, mainly SKSE and SkyUI, but once those two appear, I'll be very happy!

I'd also like to thank the great people who put so much time and effort into making these mods, so that my Skyrim experience is more enjoyable, and of course, the guys at Nexus Mods who make installing and managing mods so simple and painless. I don't think I'd still be playing Skyrim if it wasn't for you guys.

Theres no need to hope if apple playing steam games that are made from Microsoft iso is possible I strongly and honestly think we have the power to do this.

They stated clearly: then we'll shut NMM login and download services off until things cool down.

ok so let me get this right
step 1 get the bleach
step 2 drink the bleach

I was wondering why NMM was so slow last night when I was downloading mods for FNV.

Also they never said old mods would "just work". They said at the very least ESPs would need to be resaved in the new CK. Which is true. They just didn't provide the rest of the details outline in my post in a concise way :P

Thank's guy's for the heads up,love this site keep up the great work :}

[anujgamer343]

I appreciate your guys' dedication to helping us!

[AMilli0NliGHTS]

Even though I can't currently use NMM for my SSE, i'm oddly very happy that so many people are using it, I think that bodes well for modding on the new SE! Also, thanks for moving so quickly to get NMM set up for us to use, and for letting us know what's going on with the site.

Why didn't the team plan for this ahead of time?
