You can and still download mods. Just use a manual download.

It's probably all you non-paying entitled people who are using up the bandwidth for us paying members.

How's that for being an arsehole?

I've always downloaded my mods this way...what has everyone else been doing?

Just something I'd like to share for new and returning Nexus users regarding SSE and its future, coming from a user just like you:
***************************************************************

We, the community, need to be very patient and respectful as modders navigate this exciting but turbulent time brought on by SSE. There are many hurtles that modders will need to jump, some more than others, to bring their original Skyrim content to SSE, as well as some things many of them need to wait for (e.g. SKSE to be rewritten for SSE, etc). We need to be respectful and appreciative of their efforts and time, not only because of what they do for us, but also because if we are not then some of them, understandably so, may leave the SSE modding scene (as some of them left the original Skyrim scene). If that begins to happen then there is, in my opinion, no chance that SSE will surpass original Skyrim (even despite 64-bit, Dx11, etc).

Let us not forget the Nexus staff either! The guys who work around the clock, particularly during heavy traffic times like this, who make it all possible. Skyrim wouldn't be what it is without the modders but if it weren't for the incredible people running The Nexus what many of us have come to take for granted would have never been possible in the first place! They have worked just as hard as Skyrim's modders and I feel that they get the short-end of the stick, in terms of appreciation, because the focus is often directly on modding/modders of Skyrim, not so much on the site that hosts them. So we must also be appreciative and respectful of the Nexus staff, especially now more than ever as they are currently experiences higher volumes of site traffic than ever before and have a lot of work cut out for them to manage this situation brought on by SSE.

Spread that message/sentiment far and wide around the community because it is a very real possibility that SSE could splinter this community more than it will breathe new life into it; the deciding factor is, in my opinion, ultimately how we, the community, treat the modders and Nexus staff that have gone to such lengths to make Skyrim what is today!




THANK YOU to all modders, you guys and gals are amazing people! AND HUUUUGE thanks to the entire Nexus Mods and Mod Manager team for everything you do. This community and game certainly wouldn't be what it is without you guys too!

Correct, the new CK will be out next week but we don't really have an accurate idea as to when SKSE will be re-written as far as I'm aware. It won't be too long in the grand scheme of things I'm sure. What will really be a nail biter is what happens with SkyUI/MCM since Schlangster said he won't be doing the legwork for updating it. We were all spoiled for so long with MCM that it would be unbearable to go back to using in-game settings books and dialogue menus for users and mod authors alike so I think that at some point somebody will step up and do the legwork for Schlangster but the quesiton is... when?

For SKSE look at fallout 4 and the status of it there since the engine is now pretty similar to that.
I'm expecting a pretty similar SseKSE as F4SE is due to that fact.

So no current SKSE can't just be converted to x64. It's either a remake from scratch or a conversion from F4SE.

@ErikRedbeard

Actually, upon doing some more reading (directly from the SKSE team on Reddit) SSE is somewhere in the middle of Skyrim and F4, slightly more on the Skyrim side of the continuum. So adapting SKSE to SSE will actually not be that much like F4SE; in other words, once they finish F4SE it won't be a super quick adaptation from there to SSE.

I forget the post date of what I read but it couldn't have been
more than a few days ago... it said they have 1 guy working on F4SE and 1 guy doing some preliminary stuff for the SSE SKSE. And I think it said there was 1 guy assisting with both but I might be wrong on that. Sorry if I got that part wrong, I was in a hurry while I was reading those posts.

They did also say that they would prioritize rewriting all the hooks that are used in the functionality of some of the top mods out for SSE so that those mods can again be fully featured as soon as possible. The less frequently used hooks will follow in later releases of SSE SKSE I assume.

Anyway, bottom-line: it is gonna be A LOT of work and we should not get our hopes up for it being released any time soon. We just need to be patient and supportive. These guys rock and they'll get it to us as soon as they possibly can!
