Skyrim Special Edition Mods Achievements
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition, a remastered version of the original game, is finally out on Xbox One, PC and PlayStation 4. This special edition of the game comes with all the three DLC contents and a complete graphical upgrade for both PS4 and Xbox One, with mod support. But, the launch on PC is not as smooth as everyone of us expected because the game suffers from a lot of launch issues such as Crash at startup, Low FPS, 30FPS lock, Game Not Starting, Black Screen at startup, and many such issues.
But if you’re an Xbox One or Ps4 only gamer I’d recommend it. There’s a reason this game has an enduring and influential legacy. And Skyrim: Special Edition comes with the DLC too, so you’re looking at dozens if not hundreds of hours of gameplay. And an ongoing mod community that will keep it fresh for years to come.

If you already own The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and are thinking of trying Skyrim Special Edition, you may have questions about how the improved version of Bethesda's RPG will work in terms of mods, saved games, and most importantly, modded saved games.Here's what we know, and it's not all good news. We'll update this post with any additional information we discover.Skyrim and Skyrim Special Edition are two separate gamesYou probably know this one, but just in case: if you own Skyrim and its expansions, you'll get Skyrim Special Edition for free, and you don't need to worry about Skyrim SE overwriting or replacing your original copy of Skyrim.They are two completely separate games.
If you have saved games and installed mods for Skyrim, you will still be able to play them with your original copy of Skyrim after the Special Edition appears. Existing unmodified saved games can be used with Skyrim SEIf you've got saved games from the original Skyrim, you can use them with Skyrim SE. According to an email from Bethesda, it's just a matter of copying and pasting the files:'Existing save games from the original PC game will work in the PC version of Skyrim Special Edition. Simply copy your old saves from My Games/Skyrim to My Games/Skyrim Special Edition.' So, you'll be able to pick up in the Special Edition right where you left off in the original. This is only for unmodded saved games, though, and here comes the bad news.
Modded saved games won't work at all with Skyrim SEWe've tested this a bit, and can confirm that saved games in which you used mods for the original Skyrim don't work with Skyrim SE.Bethesda told us this in their email:'Only use original saves that have never been used with mods. Do not use your original saved game if this error appears when you load it in Skyrim Special Edition: This save relies on content that is no longer present.' Dave Talamas, Community Manager of, had this to say:'Though there is a remote chance that very particular save files which only depend on mods which have a SSE equivalent installed may work, this will not be relevant to the vast majority of mod users because their modded files will have one or more dependencies with a currently incompatible mod.' Our advice for mod users is to expect to start fresh when it comes to playing SSE.' Skyrim SE versions of SkyUI and Skyrim Script Extender are in the worksis a tool many mods rely on, as it expands both scripting capabilities and functionality for mods. Thing is, SKSE was created for the 32 bit Skyrim, and Skyrim Special Edition is 64 bit, meaning the current version of SKSE won't work with the Special Edition.
There is now an alpha being tested for the SSE, however., one of the best and most popular mods for Skyrim, and a mod that many other mods require for configuration, depends on SKSE to work. So, until there's a version of SKSE for the 64 bit version, there won't be a completely workable version of SkyUI for Skyrim SE (though there's ). There are plenty of mods for Skyrim SE alreadySince Skyrim and Skyrim SE are two different games, modders who post their Skyrim Mods on Nexus Mods need to essentially create duplicates of their work. Many have done this already—and Nexus Mods is making for them., so you can see what's currently available. Thankfully, prolific modder Arthmoor has a number of his mods ready to go, including an, which like, will fix a number of bugs that were present in the original Skyrim and have been carried over to the Special Edition.
Nexus Mod Manager now supports Skyrim SEIf, like me, you use Nexus Mod Manager, the Nexus Mods tool for managing your mods, it now supports Skyrim Special Edition.We'll update this post with any additional information we come across.
