Skyrim Special Edition VS Oldrim with graphics mods

[lithan1]

I'm gonna say something, and i'm sure someone is gonna b&@*$ at me and disagree, but you know what? I think Skyrim Special Edition is better than Oldrim with graphics mods, not because it looks better, but because it performs better cause you know what? I've run Oldrim with ENBs before and saw my load times get horrendous, and I had constant freezing, plus I could feel my PC overheating, plus I could see my Framerate drop, and trust me, my PC is a f*#@ing beast

 

But with Skyrim Special Edition I can run it on Ultra and still get buttery smooth 60 FPS, in fact the only time my framerate drops is due to all the mods I run on it, with decent load times and my PC does not even come close to overheating, so you tell me which is better in that department, not that I care for which one looks better but i'm just making a point

Matter of opinion for now 64 bit vs 32 bit two different platforms. How you mod and how well you use what you have makes the difference for now. If and when certain utilities get to SSE i'll use it but I will pass for now. I will used the 32 bit game as I can run it will no issues my game runs great and looks better than ever no frame drop or computer issues again it is how you mod. I never run an ENB as I never seen the point or real difference save for game issues load times ect.. again it is how you mod.

 

I believe SSE was a test as no developer gives things away no money in it.. they did it to see how quickly the gaming community could adapt the game.. and that has been answered. I believe a new Elder scrolls is coming in the near feature as the developer seen how quickly and easily this platform was used by us the mod community.

I run the old game just fine thanks.

The new engine upgrade comes with pros and cons. It definitely runs better for me, but visually the old one is still superior :-/ at least in my opinion. And I also never had problems with the original skyrim. No frame drops, overheating or anything. It even was less demanding then SSE.

However, the main dicision for me goes with the mods. So if there's no skse and so on, I will not invest much time in it.

 

Oldrim or SSE is somewhat a personal thing for everyone. Most errors, bugs, or performance problems are user created and no fault of the game. Like upgrading to windows 10 and therefore limiting the dx9 engine.

 

But hey, the creation engine never was the best optimized or stunning engine in my eyes... But it runs Skyrim, so I will take it and love it :P

The instability and horrible load times is why I am seriously considering reinstalling the Special Edition. My have is having the occasional CTD for reasons I can only assume is the engine crapping out for no reason, and I didn't have any of that with Skyrim: SE with almost the same load order and amount of play time. Also, I too think SE looks a lot better than Skyrim (at least the Vanilla Skyrim).

To use SKSE with this game, you need to have a clean steam and no games running with Mo and avoid logins on Beth while doing so.

 

The origins is your current steam where the game resides. That steam is "profiled", you need to isolate the "profile" and keep it isolated.

 

Mo does this but only if it targets just the games software. A fresh install of seam can be placed on a flash drive and ran and NEVER initiate a download with it.

With IT running, that's all that's needed for the engine to allow the game to run, Now you can run the script extender and the fresh steam won't see anything.

 

Think it thru, look at what's going on. What you can't do is login to beth and have SKSE running.

 

As for the CK? things can get really thick in the tech dept.

 

all you need is steam to be running and NO games installed but are installed else where with Mo in charge.

you can not do this with Nmm so don't bother trying it.

You can definitely run skse with mod organizer, the installation is just a bit different.

Also I'm not sure what you're talking about there, but what as bethesda.net to do with skse? Bethesda.net only affects skyrim SE and skse only Oldrim or however you want to call it.

Also Steam won't do anything. You install the game and fine. From there on steam will never do anything with the game. Except updating it maybe, but that's not the case with Oldrim, only maybe with SSE.

Maybe I'm just a bit confused at the moment, but your post makes no sense to me :O

there are things we don't speak about, tricks to fool things so we can use scripting.

But any way, the information is posted.

my current classic skyrim mod list is linked in my signature.

 

On my current save i have about 15 hours or so now with that exact mod list........only ONE CTD in 15 hours. I would say thats pretty stable and on CLASSIC skyrim. So many senior members here are still pretty clueless about modding and its pretty surprising.

 

With that said SE will definitely be a much more stable platform and take the game to new heights. many people just havent switched yet due to no SKSE and SKY UI which makes many mods incompatible. I am in that boat.

 

People need to quit making it a competition between the 2 games. I am happy people are testing, playing, and working on SE. We need those people to get it up to date mod wise.

 

Most people who cant get a good modded experience from classic are just pretty clueless modders. Again not saying SE isnt or wont be more stable tho. Soon as requiem and SKSE and SKY UI are ported over...ill be jumping ship.

You clearly didn't read all of the first post cause I made it clear that those framerate drops and overheating and stuff is a result of my trying to run Skyrim with an ENB, without an ENB I have no problems
