Hey bud I just set it to update when I launch the game through steam but I just launch it through the skse it's still the 2.2.20 version I believe that's still good right?
@christopher That is fine enough for preventing updates, correct. Just remember to not accidentally click play on Steam when there is an update and ensure Steam is always open before launching with SKSE, otherwise an update can still trigger (which is why I showed the other method in the video).
@Apoqsi thank you so much man you're so awesome quick response and everything thanks for all the updates and walk throughs
You are a Saint thank you
@lumpofmeatsack2013 Love the name! lol. And just happy to help. 😊
But why would you do that? I love breaking my game/load order just so master Todd can shove useless data on my SSD.
Its obvious the game is going to be patched its been only 12 years
@@drill_don684
Simple, straight to the point, informational and a nice voice. You sir, have earned yourself a subscriber.
Yes, me too!
Likewise
Me too. Not the bad propaganda kind.
Spend 30 minutes stopping Todd from destroying you're mods.
Spend 2 hours installing mods.
Play the game for 15 minutes, get bored, close game, and repeat after 4 months.
Same. Download adult, meme, etc, and still get bored for less than five minutes.
Don't want to sound crazy but I have more fun searching rather than playing it. I'm probably just getting old.
Edit: I need to stop buying games because I never do finish it. 😂
Now this is a good tutorial. Concise, no BS and informative. Very impressed. Got my game back up and running. Very much appreciated. Subscribed.
Just to let you know This is exactly how do a Skyrim instructional video great job. It was nice to see a reminder of the read only file action I did mine a different way but yep it was really great job
Thank you! Happy you think so. 😊
@@Apoqsi well of course I think so I’ve been modding an making mods for long enough to know if anybody gets it on how to present an instructional video with clarity in a world that can be confusing. We always have to remember there’s newbs, people with learning difficulties, people that learn easier via picture, written, or watch as I do. I think you just about hit all the marks.Gamer poets and my dear Gopher would be proud of that presentation.
I agree. I have enough of a professional background to know when the content is more than just a dump of assumed knowledge. Even though I'm having a few issues, this vid is so clear and well presented. Really hope that people tag it into Nexus and other sites so others get to see it.
@@igavinwood iI it comes up we’ll send people his way on one of our videos. it’s nice to see people who know what they’re talking about. We’ve always found Apoqsi to be worth the coffee beans
I can't thank you enough. I could not get the game to work even though I nuked and had a fresh install. Your tutorial was so simple and was perfect in every way.
I'm not upset of new complete install as over the years it had become so cluttered.... just before the update I had compiled the perfect mod list, so I know what I have to do.... but the last few days/week had been a nightmare of absolute frustration - and yup, even bringing this grizzled old biker close to tears!!
So thanks mate from Down Under... Best Christmas present ever ;)
YES BRO U DID IT U SAVE MY MOD LIST. FOREVER SUBSCIRBED TO YOU, YOU GAVE YOUR OPINION ON THE GAME, AND CREATE THIS TUTORIAL. I WAS WAITING FOR IT
Just glad to help, I hope you enjoy getting back to your modlist! 😊
Byłem w niemałym szoku kiedy się dowiedziałem o tym patchu
Dude I cannot thank you enough for this. I'm currently in the middle of making my first mod ever and having some issues, then on top of that my computer suddenly crashes and when I restart I find my steam updated the game without my permission, breaking tons of things in the process. Needless to say I was super frustrated as I was already having issues. This saved me though, now I can get back to modding! Thank you again! :)
Your tutorial was clear, straight to point and thorough. Your helpful tutorial got me out of this massive update mess with everything now functioning as it did before. Thank you and subscribed
Great video which clarifies everything perfectly. 👍😎 That being said, based upon the fact there's obviously more patches coming through in the very near future, I think it's probably best for the time being to hold off for a bit until things settle down and all fixes are firmly established. Personally speaking, it stopped being entertainment when 90% of my time was devoted entirely upon fixing things that weren't broken prior to this "upgrade".
thank you so much i just started playing skyrim on my pc (played skyrim all my life on xbox until now) and i had a hard time installing mods but once i found the issue which was to downgrade your tutorial helped me so much i cant thank you enough came here for help will be coming back to your channel for any future help i might need
You're a life saver man! I usually don't comment on videos (or like them because I'm a horrible person) but you deserve it; thank you!
Glad I could help! Appreciate the comment and like. 😊
a new update came out today, this video came massively in handy to revert my skyrim. thank you for all the help. if at all possible i would still appreciate it that if and when a new update sets of patches like BEES and the downgrade patcher is released that you post a video detailing the update there and how to go about using them, as they were massively helpful to me when i first discovered the BEES mod. thanks again
I always keep my coverage and tutorials as up date as possible, so you can expect videos as things are updated. 😊
This was great, straight to the point no fluff and even added tips if anybody has problems.
Awesome tutorial, straight to the point and helpful with loads of extra information like how new patches are coming soonish. Also you didn't need to go into the detail about how to turn off auto-updates, but you did. And it was super helpful! Keep it up!
Really nice and quick tutorial. Most internet tutorials go too fast and or talk to you like you should know everything about what your doing already. Subbed
Great video just wish I’d have found it before I updated SKSE, the libraries, Unofficial patch, etc. Would’ve been so much quicker and easier. I especially like how you showed us how to prevent future updates. Thought I had that covered by selecting “Update only when I launch the game” setting within Steam but that setting was just overridden by the latest update. I only recently returned to the game and got my load list set up just right days before the update.
You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar! So many hours of game saves, rescued.
Dude, thank you so much for this. I have been trying for days to get this to work, made a post about it on reddit, found a few post on reddit and still couldn't get it to work but after this video it did. Thank you, I just subbed to you and liked the video as a thanks for helping me out and by the looks of the comments here, a lot of other people.
GOATed video brother, this info is top tier and u made this whole process so easy. The best part was learning how to disable auto updates since you cant do it easily through steam. Plus having all the different versions of the depots below meant that I was able to find the exact version I needed. Most helpful tutorial on the internet +rep.
bro this was insanely informational and helpful. thank you so much for this tutorial!
Happy it helped! 😊
Great video, informative, straightforward. I don't really need the tutorial since I'm an expert modder but I really appreciate all the helpful 101 videos that people post for new modders who most likely are kind of lost at the start of their journey. The community can only stay alive and healthy when everyone helps each other. Good job! Liked.
Do you have a discord by chance? Im a new modder and have been struggling with different aspects such as downgrading (why Im watching this video) but there have been other problems I have faced and was hoping for a guide
Thank you for the tutorial! I'm staying at 1.6.640 for the time being it seems. I'd really like to use the new East Empire Company Expansion/mod, but it's just not worth the hassle when my game is running perfectly atm. Maybe later when all the mods I use are updated and things are running smoothly again. But if something fails and goes fubar, I'm glad to have the instructions you presented here. Very clear, precise and easy to follow/understand. Thank you! 😎👍
Thank you for this. I returned to Skyrim a few days ago after a very long break and wondered why all the mods were broken. I have done all you said and made backup copies of the downloads\depot files, the install directory, and the manifest file in case some update gets through again.
Cool trick, if you were playing on SKSE 1.5.97 with the Best Of Both Worlds patcher to use CC content you purchased, use this guide. Download the stuff exactly as he does, and then use the old best of both worlds patcher to downgrade the game the remainder of the way.
Only issue is trying to get the improved camera mod working properly if you use that mod. Otherwise, you can completely revert to 1.5.97 best of both worlds pre update
Thank you man 👍
Dude, thank you so much for this video. I was almost giving up about my game.
For people who might have installed the new SKSE 2.2.5 (game version 1.6.1130) and think it won't work, just download the previous version (on my case, skse64 1.6.640), make the downgrade and return other mods to the version 1.6.640 if necessary.
"It just works"
How do you get skse for 1.6.640?
@SS_3082 Scroll down to “Old Files” www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/30379?tab=files
@@Apoqsi Thank you very much. May the new year bring you joy & prosperity
Does the address library mod work?
@@ayanifyc346 yes, if you choose the right version for your Skyrim. So for example, I use the SKSE for 1.6.640, I'll take the Address Library for the version 1.6.640.
This was so helpful! Thank you! Its been the biggest piss off trying to figure out where in my load order things went wrong or what files weren't up to date
Thank you so much for making this video. I was worried I'd never get the patcher working. Happy modding!
I just came back to playing Skyrim less than 2 weeks ago. You Sir just saved my last 10 days of hard modding! Respect. straight to the point video, with detailed instructions and no BS. SUBSCRIBED!
same. I was not trying to have my over 400 mods not work because of bethesda's nonsense right after getting them to work
You are amazing, thank you so much, I just got into this modding stuff and thought I took an arrow to the knee. TYYY. Wish you all the best and Happy Holidays my man.
No problem. Happy holidays to yourself!
Man thank you so much! Yesterday i wanted to play a couple of hours of skyrim and then i found out it had a new update. I thought my entire modded game was screwed but luckily i found your video. Super simple and clear instructions. Thanks again!
Avoid all this by giving up completely
Haha, that’s always an option. 🫣
If only. Unfortunately, the more frustrated I get, the more determined I am to win. You will not defeat us, Todd! Really though, I'm convinced they keep forcing updates so our mods do break. Why get awesome free mods when you can give Bethesda money for relatively lackluster ones?
@@Apoqsi I have a question, can you do this on GOG? The website download for games
Thanks! You’re a life saver man.
I’m happy it helped. Thank you for the insane support! 😊❤️
Absolutely amazing guide! Thank you, you helped save my save file that I've been playing on and off for 3 years now.
You are a legend bro thank you so much for making this video, been struggling to get this to run for 2 days now, finally don't have to deal with the crashes anymore
Perfectly explained although I don't need it, my game is locked (since the release of AE) down tighter than the thieves guild vault.
Haha, you love to hear it! Thanks for dropping in to the video and leaving a comment, even though you didn’t need the tutorial. 😊
Same thing happened in 2019. This time I've set Skyrim to "only update when i launch it" on Steam, and since it's launched through SKSE, it doesn't trigger the download.
*Big middle finger to Bethesda*
Thank you for this video, still very helpful for the future
Just remember to have Steam opened before launching SKSE, otherwise it can occasionally still trigger a download without the manifest set to ready only as shown in the video.
@@Apoqsi didn't know that. Thank you very much
Video was just so straight to point and high quality. I think you deserve a sub
This was very helpful thankyou. And thanks for keeping the description updated.
I hate that Bethesda keeps updating their 12+ year old game just to introduce more micro-transactions.
Thank you
Much love! Hope you enjoy diving back into your modded Skyrim on 1.5.97. ❤️
Because of you, i can 🙏🏽
This worked like a charm! Thank you so so much for saving my playthrough. You're awesome
Glad I could help! 😊
Hi again; I just checked about +/- 100 messages bellow and... you deserve many more subscribers, as I see how many responses and help you spent time for ( I can only imagine 'a lot' ). Great guy; and thank you again for helping us with this tip and messages ! Wish you Merry Xmas and Happy New Year ! 👍👍👍😉
I try my best to get back to as many as possible, so it means a lot that you recognized it. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year! :)
I'm sorry to be a dummy but which version of skse? I'm getting an error "you are using Skyrim 1.6.640 which is out of date and incompatible with skse64 2.2.5. Update to the latest version."
I just downgraded using the instructions in the video. Any help greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Nevermind. You had it in the video, just didn't highlight it.
Skse64_2_02_03.7z on the silverlock archive dated 2022-10-11 worked for me.
You show the same version when using the console command getskseversion.
Thank you!
Apoqsi’s name might as well be Loki, because he saved my whole Multiverse!! Thank you so much!!
I am forever grateful that you were able to save my games/characters 🙏🏽
Wow... I don't even know how to express my gratitude for this INSANE level of support. Seriously... Thank you! ❤
I was desperate for a video like this! Thank you so much.
I love you dude! You saved my butt. I was trying to fix my game for 2 days and finally stumbled across your video!
What's frustrating about the constant updates that Skyrim gets is that the base game is over 10 years old and special edition is 7 years old. These updates are not meaningful either. They dont add anything to the experience aside from a way to make more money. Yeah you can support mod authors but you could already do that with websites such as Ko-Fi. At least when an old game like Left 4 Dead got its update Valve introduced a new map.
Most of the updates previously, I’d definitely agree. But I wouldn’t say the most recent update didn’t add anything meaningful. We got extended ESL support, Creation Kit upgrades, good number of bug fixes (especially vital for console), ultra wide for PC, Steamdeck support, updated Creations system which makes it so the game no longer requires updates every time new Creations are added (this is a big one), etc. And not everyone wants or even can mod their game with SKSE64, which is the only group of mods typically affected by updates (due to version dependency). What BGS does need to do though is offer multiple builds via the beta functionality on Steam.
@@Apoqsioffer a beta? Like what cdpr did with Witcher 3? Asking Howard to take after a developer that’s shown gratitude towards its fans might be a bit much
Bedhesda should be ashamed
This really helped me out. This was a very helpful tutorial to the issues on my mod list. Thx for the information and the tips.
God bless you, I got updated mid modding and this saved my evening! 🙏 I'm sure this video gonna get thousands of view soon enough! Great concise and easy to follow guide!
didnt work for me idk whats up
May the algorithm bless you my friend, you're doing god's work! :D
I wanted to come back to Skyrim after few months break and been met with many game version problems. Your video saved me time fixing those issues.
Thank you very much for your help!
Thank you so much. i have had so much trouble getting my game back up and running and you saved my play through!
I wish I had known all this before AE broke my game originally. But, thank you, I know now and can benefit.
BTW, the close-captions are hilarious.
Thank you! ❤
Dude, thank you so much for this. Liked, comments, subscribed. You are a legend, really appreciate it!
you save my game BRO! i subscribed to your channel, thank you very much!
thanks bro I was watching your last tutorial on this, appreciate the update 👌
No problem 👍
Great video brother! Just end a 4 day quest of mine to figure out how to get my game back. Lol new subscriber now! Cheers to ya bro, thanks again!
Haha, happy to be of service! Thank you!
Thanks again for going out of your way, i've been struggling with skyrim for over a month now and if i get it working i might shed tears of relief, none of it possible without your help
Happy to help! Thanks for the super thanks. 😊❤️
Yup followed these instructions, ran the downgrade patcher, everything works just like before. Thanks man!
This is a life saver thank you so much. Finished getting my mod loadout stable and the update dropped no kidding 3 hours after.
I just started playing Skyrim again after a long, long break and came across so many issues "thanks" to the latest update. Thank you so much for the tutorial video on how to properly downgrade Skyrim and how to prevent Steam from auto-updating it! Really solved all the issues I faced!
I just came here to thank you! Really thank you so much, you just saved my entire mod list, my hero!
Bro thank you so much haven't been able to play Skyrim through vortex for many of months didn't know how to fix it until I watched your video much appreciated
Awesome guide thanks for putting everything right in the description!
Thank you so much. This update dropped as I was half way through the latest STEP method. Think you've saved me
You're welcome! Hope you enjoy the rest of your modding journey. 😊
Thank you so much for this ! Quick and easy as all tutorials should be
Extremely helpful and to the point, thanks. Liked and subscribed.
Glad it helped!
This guide saved me man !
I appreciate your effort over 9000.
Thanks
THANK YOU! This was driving me insane, easiest guide to follow and straight to the point.
I'm not planning to play anytime soon but I keep seeing that Skyrim keeps getting updated. You just helped me future-proof my game. Just tested my 1.5.97 and looks like it's now loading again properly. Thanks very much!
That worked! I thought I had to give up on this game but now it works again, thank you so much!
Bro this is the clearest tuto of em all on the tube, like almost the shiny one thank you so much instant sub
I've been trying to fix my mod list for two days. You are a lifesaver
Doing gods work my man! subbing for this, and to see what other useful info you have
A lot coming! Hope you enjoy. 😊
Thanks so much for this man, great tutorial, super easy to follow xx
Thank you so Much!!!
This helped a lot, my 90gb load order was obsolete after the updates and I'm happy I'm able to play again with my Khajiit tysm :3
Thanks. I knew most of this and already had set skyrimSE to only update on launch and since I launch it with MO2 it was not updating and already still at the version you identified. However, I was unaware of the manifest files, mine is now at read-only, thanks a bunch.
Thank you so much))) you, and everyone who is fighting for downgrading skyrim are lifesavers!!!
Hey man I just want to thank you, I built my first and new pc and was tryna play modded Skyrim but it kept crashing, this fixed it
Thanks! Someone get this guy more subs, you should be 100k+ top quality video, real clear and concise right to the point a million thanks man
Thank you so much for doing a video on this it helped me out a lot❤
I once saw a tutorial doing this that was 10+ minutes long, while this one has everything I wanted on the first 4 minutes, thank you so much sir, nice vid
Ayy, it worked! You're a lifesaver, man
Thank you so much for the tutorial, I was going crazy trying to figure out how to downgrade my Skyrim SE. Steam auto updated to the lastest version and made all my mods on MO2 useless with the latest patch.
i gave up so many times on trying to get my old saves back from the collection i was playing on until this, thank you so much
Thank you, Apoqsi, for the help. It worked, and I was able to play my collection again.
Hello I'm Brazilian, and I'm definitely grateful to you, I did everything to fix it and I couldn't, not even downloading downgrade on nexus, I was going crazy already, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Glad I could help! 😊
This is really how Tutorials should be done, no wasted time, clear and easy to follow information. The fantastic voice does help too.- sub for future content
Thank you very much for this video I had to start another play through but my game is now working which is amazing
You sir are my hero!
A new update for skyrim apparently hit yesterday (feb 2024), and my skse completely broke. I can comfirm this indeed still works in 2024, and all my mods and my abillity to play the game itself is saved.
Great guide dude!
Which version did you downgrade to? Still trying to decide which one after years of not playing skyrim
Dude, i love you so much. Thank you. I lost my hope and you brought the spark :)
Glad to hear it! 😊
You are the GOAT! Thanks for your time in making such an easy to follow and concise vid about downgrading Skyrim. 🙏
Bruh, you saved my Skyrim so much. Thank you! Subscribed!
Since I got all the files for the modpack I was using, now I can use them without trouble. Thanks!!
A MASSIVE THANK YOU!!!! Followed your instructions and have the game running Only down side is my saves a corrupt.😁
Mind explaining your save issue? This wouldn't corrupt your saves unless they were made on the new version or you're missing content you used to have on the save (and they aren't actually corrupt, just need to be compatible with what you're running). Either that or you didn't install the backported ESL support mentioned in the video.
I found that I had to take out all the files from my Skyrim folder and replace them with the ones downloaded through the console. Either I missed that in the video or it was not mentioned. Putting in the right SKSE and SSE engine fixes it worked perfectly. It even fixed some in games bugs. Again thanks. Bethesda SUCKS!!
