Skyrim: Anniversary Edition will be released on November 11th, 10 years after it was released on November 11th, 2011. Therefore, if you choose to upgrade, your favorite mod may never work in the game. This means that many mods will not work unless the author decides to update the creation. This basically forces mod authors to start searching for functions and creating hooks from scratch. In layman’s terms, the anniversary release updates the compiler from Visual Studio 2015 to the 2019 edition, changing the way code is generated. This is because the Anniversary Edition is an update, not a new release, with changes to Skyrim Script Extender, a plugin that makes mods work in the game. This is because other mods, such as those available on Nexus Mods, may not be compatible with the release due to new updates. If you want to pursue a particular creation, read the steps included in the store description.įortunately, Skyrim: Anniversary Edition includes a lot of Creations. This means that both old and new creations will no longer be initialized at startup, making it much easier to encounter creations organically during your adventure. Upon release, Bethesda is coordinating all Creation Club quests to match the rest of the game. If you already have Skyrim Special Edition, you can purchase Anniversary Upgrades or purchase the pieces individually at the time of release.
