Using Old Skyrim mods with SE, question

[Murielkai]

So... I read a couple of guides on converting old skyrim mods and they seem fairly simple for normal files that have only an .esp. Before I start updating the few oldrim files I want to use I would like to ask...

 

Is there a downside to using oldrim mods such as CBBE armor sets or follower mods that "seem" to work fine -without- updating?

Any mod that only affects textures should work just fine. Anything else is a bit of a crap-shoot depending on the mod's complexity.

Using your examples, -armor mods may not translate over perfectly, resulting in missing meshes. I've never tried an "Oldrim" follower in SE. All the ones I'm interested in (Inigo, Sofia, etc) have already been ported by their authors. But I suspect that NOT converting a follower will result in hidden issues down the road. Best to do the conversion process.

 

Here's a good guide right here at the Nexus for converting "Do's and Don'ts". Langeston is good about answering questions in the posts section.
