As it stands, Bethesda could potentially eliminate thousands of SkyrimВ mods or more with the new update and fewer mods could potentially hurt the appeal for some players to return to Skyrim yet again.

Additionally, it is possibleВ some mod authors have already moved on from modding or arenвЂ™t willing to update their creations.

As a result, extrwi suggested players stop automatic updates on Steam or elsewhere to prevent the mod-breaking update next month.ДЇorcing the rewriting of mods again isВ likelyВ to frustrate both players and modders. According to them, the developers have not offered any solution yet.

While the code switch updates the game's compiler, it also eliminates hundreds of readable functions for Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE)В - meaning that modders must rewrite from scratch ifВ their mod uses SKSE.ДЄ vast majority of Skyrim mods on Nexus use SKSEВ -В or another script extension mod called 'Address Library'В - to function.В Seeing as those mods will become unusable once the Skyrim Anniversary EditionВ releases, extrwi said they have been in contact with Bethesda since the announcement of Anniversary Edition. As a result, many of the game's mods use this code and if Skyrim Anniversary EditionВ isn't compatible with the SKSE, then these mods won't function properly.В The issue lies with the code of Skyrim, which Bethesda updated for Skyrim Special EditionВ and will be updated again for Skyrim Anniversary Edition. The SKSE is a tool that aids SkyrimВ mods by increasing scripting capabilities and game functionality, and has been frequently used for native code modding SkyrimВ since its release around four years ago.

Examples include The Forgotten City, a quest mod, and Enderal, a standalone game built within Skyrim. Other creations have taken a life of their own outside of the game.

Because of the quality of some of these mods, Bethesda has hired their mod authors for positions at the company. Vanilla Skyrim already offers hundreds of hours of content, but mods have propelled that figure into the thousands. Mods are a huge part of why Skyrim has remained relevant almost a decade later. Anniversary Edition will integrate these new additions on top of the graphical updates introduced with Skyrim Special Edition. Bethesda also announced that Skyrim Anniversary Edition will include a new fishing mechanic for the Dragonborn to use along bodies of water.

Developer Bethesda is celebrating SkyrimвЂ™s 10th anniversary by releasing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition, an updated version of Skyrim Special EditionВ - the latter of which already includes many additional features with over 500 Creation Club mod elements. The Anniversary Edition of Skyrim will break mods despiteВ serving as an updatedВ rerelease followingВ the recent Skyrim Special Edition.
