Your Skyrim save was created on a "later" version of Skyrim.

So up until this point, I've LOVED Skyrim and I was that type of guy who hated medieval games. I've done 100+ quests, 1,000+ Misc quest objectives, etc. Anyways enough about my fetish for Skyrim, here's my problem. So I recently decided to remove the latest patch to accomplish the "overpowered weapons glitch". Upon loading my save I came to realize it wasn't able to load because it was made on a LATER version. This completely ruined my love for the game. Then after many minutes of searching I was able to find somebody on the 360 version was able to clear his cache and manually download update 1 on xbuc.com. So I thought Id try downloading update 1 on the PC to see if that would work. So I'm wondering if there is A WAY to load my save on a previous patch. Don't let this be a game breaker for me guys. And for the love of god, or Satan, whoever you feel like worshipping, don't you dare tell me to play it with the latest patch and enjoy it.

Nope!

As far as I am aware its not possible. Its always safe practice to backup saves before trying a new patch. All you can so is play on newest patch and hate it.. :p

If you were like me and keeping backups of all the files that changed, you could simply revert. Of course, at this point, I just run the latest version for a number of reasons (mainly because I like the latest USKP).

 

1.5: Supports using bsa files with plugins <-- pretty much essential with Skyrim, lately

1.6: Broke the F out of navmeshes

1.7: Sort of fixed navmeshes but then broke the F out of AI

1.8: Dawnguard, *yawn*

1.9: Legendary (Fail, as opposed to merely Epic or Superior Fail) edition
