Because of that, Cal says the team that works on SKSE is optimistic that we’ll be seeing it running soon in Special Edition. Instead, Cal says people he’s spoken with have said that it’s somewhere in between Skyrim and Fallout 4. Contrary to what you may assume, Skyrim Special Edition isn’t running on the Fallout 4 engine. “The team that does that is having to do a ton of work, and they’re starting from scratch,” Cal says. Most notably, SKSE, the Skyrim Script Extender tool that many of the game’s more ambitious mods currently use, isn’t going to be ready at launch. That’s not to say that mods won’t be available – you’ll have plenty of things to choose from on day one – but the transition won’t be seamless. The biggest thing to keep in mind is that some of the tools that people currently use to mod Skyrim won’t be available at the Special Edition’s launch. I spoke with Cal to get a sense of where modding is at on the new game, how things are shaping up on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and to get some recommended mods for players who don’t know where to start. Both of those developments open up new possibilities for modders, but they also mean those developers are going to have to either retool or rebuild some of their creations to work in the new versions of the game. In addition to appearing on current-gen consoles for the first time, the PC version of the game has been reengineered for 64-bit versions of Windows. The release of the Skyrim Special Edition marks the end of an era for Skyrim modding, as well as the beginning of another. Cal’s YouTube channel is loaded with helpful tips and overviews of some of the biggest mods around, as well as alternative choices for people who want to stray from the path a little bit. Fortunately, I stumbled onto a fantastic resource: Dirty Weasel Media’s extensive step-by-step video tutorials covering how to do it all in exhaustive detail. My new gaming machine could handle it, so the only thing holding me back was my complete ignorance of how it all worked. After jealously looking at screencaps of mods for the PC version of the game for years, I was going to dive into that scene myself. When Bethesda announced the current-gen special edition Skyrim, it lit a fire underneath me.
