The new Anniversary

At the tenth birthday of the popular role-playing game Skyrim, Bethesda will publish a new Anniversary Edition. This will expand the game among other things to extend a fishing mechanics because you have to be able to fishing in every game.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is known mainly by the large number of mods available for the title. The most popular page for mods should probably represent Nexus mods, for the special edition to Skyrim, with the Creation Club, there is even a built-in mod page, with which players can easily download a few of the most popular mods for the title.

With the new Anniversary Edition, however, many mods will probably no longer work, such as Extrwi, the developer of Skyrim Script Extender explains. According to a Reddit article of Extrwi, the Anniversary Edition Visual Studio 2019 will use, whereas the Special Edition still worked with the version from 2015:

The code modding scene around Skyrim SE will exist for about four years for the publication of the Anniversary Edition. During this time, code was developed to make many plugins for different versions of the game portable. Most plugins use the address Library from MEH321. Other plugins use code signature matching, which finds functions that resemble a specific pattern. SKSE uses an offline tool that I have developed a long time ago based on position-independent code hashing. With the AE update will break all these methods and addresses must be found from the ground up.

The reason for this is that Bethesda has decided as part of the AE update, to update the compiler with which the 64-bit version of Skyrim has been created by Visual Studio 2015 on Visual Studio 2019. This changes the species and wise how the code is generated and forces the mod developers to start at zero to find functions and write hooks. Class layouts will not change. I have not specifically in demand, but the most likely reason is that The Xbox live libraries that are used for successes in the Windows store are only available from 2017. Some games have circumvented this restriction by installing the code that interacts with Xbox Live into a secondary DLL that dynamic from the game Loading, but Bethesda has not chosen this option.

With this coding jargon, many players will probably be able to do nothing, but according to extrwi, this change makes such a difference that as well as any mod for the game at least partially has to be revised to work with the new anniversary edition. Many players can not imagine Skyrim completely without mods anymore, but the Anniversary Edition will be a free upgrade for all owners of the Special Edition. So extrvy advises all Skyrim enthusiasts to disable automatic updates on Steam first to continue to use their mods.

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Anniversary Edition will be released on November 11, 2021 for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X | S.
