Marenkai Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) Hello, I was wondering if playing on the Special Edition had some perks that would make it worth modding instead of staying on the "old" modded version. If it is, how far can I go with modding S.E. on this machine: CPU: i5-4670GPU: RX480 GX 8Go8Go RAMWindows 10 Thanks !

Lisselli Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 It's really up to you to stick with "Oldrim" or move on to SSE. The former has tons of mods out and the latter is slowly getting said mods converted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutLaw666 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 From my experience there is absolutely no reason to stick with oldrim. (Maybe with the only exception of enb presets, - there are very few enb's for SSE due to its enb limitations.) Oldrim is 32bit which makes it unstable, slow, a lot of work and trouble to mod. Oldrim without mods chrashes more often than a heavely modded SSE. And SSE is insanly fast compared to oldrim! You will notice that loadtimes are often about 10 times as fast. Try SSE and you will never go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisselli Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 The above post is based on his/her setup."Oldrim" has never crashed on my laptop, unmodded or otherwise.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutLaw666 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Yeah, i just gave you my own opinion based on my experience. Again, here are my pros and cons about Skyrim special edition. Pro:no crashesfaster loadtimes Contra:less mods available and so far no SKSE supportvery limeted enb's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfandrews Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 To me it depends on if you have a 64bit or 32bit machine. I see very little advantage to playing SSE on a 32bit machine, might as well stick to Oldrim. However if you have a 64bit machine I have found that SSE is more stable and runs smoother with better graphics right out of the box. AS always it comes down to personal preference.

Marenkai Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Thank you all for the infos and opinions. I'll just go ahead and start a new game in S.E.I think I'll follow the SEPTIM guide for the mods and see how that goes performance-wise on my PC. I'll just hope it'll be more stable than my modded Oldrim... I'm having hard freezes at least once every couple of hours and random FPS drops that I couldn't solve through ENBboost.If it's the same on S.E., I'll stay on Oldrim (not worth losing my character).

LeddBate Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Just want to point out that behippo (of the SKSE team) has been keeping us updated on his teams' work on SKSE and SkyUI for 64bit SE. When those two mods are ready, this will allow a lot of mod authors to port (or re-port) their mods that relied on SKSE and MCM menus. Then SE will be truly awesome. I'm not saying you should wait, only that the best is still to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep an eye out for SKSE ! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulobrito Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) Just a small point - SE is only 64 bits - you can't play it on a 32 bits machine / OS. In my personal experience - i have played Skyrim Legendary a lot and play SSE now - if you have the hardware for it and don't want a particular mod that don't have yet been ported, then SSE is way more stable.In my particular hardware - I5 6500 (3.2ghz), 16gb ram, win10x64 and G Force 1050Ti - SSE is much faster. And right now i play with 100 + mods. Edited February 6, 2017 by paulobrito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
