Skyrim vs SSE
I am thinking of going back to old Skyrim. Honestly. more mod options. Even though SE is catching up fast, I just seem drawn back to old Skyrim. Is this normal?

Out if curiosity. What exactly you are missing for SSE, compared to LE.

Nothing except maybe more mods, but that is not as true as it was even a year ago.

LE of course has more mods. It has been around far longer than SSE has. LE has about 10900 obsolete patches, character presets and mods that have not been updated since version 1.2.

What I was after if there were any commonly used quality mods that were lacking from SSE. Only thing I can personally think of is Disparity, which Kryptopyr has not yet translated for SSE.

There are probably more, but in general I would say that games are in par with actual moddability, unless someone is using very specific mods that have been lacking author's input.

After playing all day I realized something that has great appeal. Any bad weather and the game looks like the mods people use to make Fallout 4 so dark and dreary. I did not download any texture or weather mods, so that's kinda cool.

Other little things, the Cathay-Raht mod is an old favorite of mine. A Khajiit that can play with the tougher bandits and wildlings mods. I was dissapointed to see that it didn't come to SE.

I am also free of creation club and from the bad decisions I made with that.

Well, they are not updating CC in foreseeable future. BGS announced themselves. We also have Address Library for SSE, so resuming updates would hardly matter anymore.

Cathay-Raht was new to me. I think people re currently getting all of their Kahjiit madness out from Inigo.

Both LE and SE are well playable. With SE you just avoid constant problems with memory management. Game avoids the issue crashing from filled VRAM as well. Boris didn't need to include enbhost.exe file for SE ENB, which is used to counter issues from 32bit game.
I made the same decision to remove SE from my library and go back to good old fashioned skyrim. Perhaps its not as "optimised" as the newer versions, but the ridiculous direction the updated skyrim is taking with the new anniversary edition...the choice was easy.

Anniversary Edition is not updated to SE, unless you especially purchase the upgrade.

SE owners get few items available for them anyway, but they do not need to set them active.

SAE doesn't really affect SE players in any way.

I am wondering if it is just me! LE over SE, Fallout 3 and NV over 4, Civ5 over Civ 6. And if I could get my original Bauldur's Gate series to work right, I would be playing a Paladin with Saerileth as my companion right now. (I RP her as the same age as my character, not 16, great mod just bad choice in age for the NPC)
