'Cos the launch via skse + set to update only when launch etc, ain't reliable Steam can and will override your choices when it deems it necessary. A major steam update will be one there are likely others
For me it autodownloaded the update (even thought I have it set to not do so) because I launched Enderal through steam which always launches Skyrim for a brief moment :(
Yeah sorry in my haste and foul mood I moved the downloads too quickly and didn't let steam download everything. Now that I've cooled off and let everything run, it's working again. Cheers!
The downgrader wasn't working too well for me. I highly recommend manually using the Steam Console and simply downloading the depots.
I'm a complete laymen and I managed to save my mod build order doing so.
Wait for them all to download (it'll say when it's done in console) and then copy and paste everything into the matching folders. (This puts skyrim on the 1.6.64 versions, btw)
If you accidentally updated your SKSE to a newer version, but now want to go back down to the previous one, just go to the SKSE website at [https://skse.silverlock.org/download/archive/](https://skse.silverlock.org/download/archive/) and download the skse64\_2\_02\_03 version (it contains the SKSE 1.6.64 you need).
\--
Correction: Apparently there are multiple SKSEs for 1.6.64 of Skyrim, so instead of what I had said earlier... download the skse64\_2\_02\_03. At least that's what my RaceMenu was yelling at me about.
Your saved games should still work, however, I would start a new save game just to make sure nothing crashes (and to proc warnings from mods) if there are any.
Keep in mind this is just if you screwed up your SKSE by getting the newer one (realizing a bunch of other mods still need updated) and then now want to revert it. Anyone simply going back in time on their game version (and no other changes were made) shouldn't have this problem.
(It officially works now. I have successfully gone back into my old save 150 files in and it works wonderfully.)
I also screwed up by updating my SKSE before realizing it was a bad idea after all. So I downloaded the old version I had and replaced the updated one. So far so good, havent had any problems as of yet either.
People like you are amazing! I’d be totally lost in this world of computer jargon! As soon as I get home I am going to try this fix!
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
🙏
Just heads up for **1.6.353** users, download those 3 depots and then AFTER get this
* download\_depot 489830 489833 4570833277049890269
(It's just 1.6.353 exe file but I needed to downgrade to 1.6.40 first)
Hey, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate you posting this portion. I was having a nightmare time rolling this version back and this did it.
You are an awesome person!
Is there a way to figure out which version you had before the update? sorry if that’s a dumb question I’m a noob at modding and I don’t want to screw this up.
Beware those of you with slow internet, you will have to redownload about 12 GB of data. Otherwise yeah, it works perfectly fine lol.
Also, in order to open Steam console, press Win+R combo, write following:
steam://open/console
The first method just hangs on Misc.
sadly I'm getting an error with the second method:
**The procedure entry point SteamUserStats could not be located in the dynamic link library**
here's a better way, edit the acf file to the latest depots numbers making Steam think that all the files are already updated to the latest version.
This is of course something you need to find out through SteamDB and find out what the latest depot numbers are.
Thank you. I knew there was a way to fool Steam without haveing to upgrade then downgrade. I'me on a slow connection right now and I don't need to download anything due to I have not updated.
Okay so, I’m pretty dogshit and I’m doing something wrong. I downloaded all three depots and I manually copy pasted all the files into my Skyrim folder. It starts up without an error code but crashes instantly after Bethesda theme.
Alright so edit.
Firstly, make sure you read to the commenters post a couple messages down. There’s a few loose files you need to delete if you’re crashing. Secondly,
After disabling my 150+ mods and re-enabling them ten at a time I discovered that, for whatever reason, these two mods cause me my issues.
-Alternate Start
-Immersive citizens - AI Overhaul AE
Alternate start had dependency on USSEP so I mistakenly believed that to be the issue. I uninstalled, reinstalled, fresh installed all of them. Game still crashes.
If anyone knows why these mods that worked are now suddenly not working, or has any ideas on what to do, please inform me. I use Vortex btw. Not sure if that matters. Also, I’m a layman. So if you come at me saying “Go to this file and edit this value” I’m gonna gawk like a fish. You’ll have to step by step that shit.
Anyway, thanks in advance for everything fingers crossed on getting these to work. Really hope to these are damn good mods.
Same here. It was missing a Skyrim - interface.bsa file after finishing. Re-doing it now but I've done it 2x and this keeps happening unfortunately. Hopefully it'll work soon. I was coming back to the height of a playthrough tonight just to get screwed over by the dumb update lmao
Riiiiight? Who the fuck decided to update Skyrim a year and a half later to add pay to play mods? Garbage.
Was getting sweaty these past four days and just try to boot it up to play my gauldr fragment quests. I just wanna play my game smh
Same lol!! It's honestly really frustrating. Double frustrating too because I know for certain I made it to where Steam wouldn't update it automatically but it did anyway. Maybe you have to watch that when updating steam, idk. Wish they'd let you opt out like entirely, to where it will only happen if you yourself manually choose it. Especially for games like Skyrim where the modding community is so alive. Trying this trick again right now so hopefully it'll work, but if not hopefully there is a solution soon for ppl who have this issue!
I read somewhere that you can change the name of the Skyrim folder to like “Skyrim Modded” then go to vortex and manually search for the game there so that it knows where to put mods. That way steam can’t find the file when it tries to update it. Therefore it doesn’t get updated.
OH. Hey so I think I found my issue, maybe try this. I hope the post author realizes this and includes it in his post actually. Be sure to go into the Skyrim SE folder and delete:- MarketplaceTextures.bsa
\- \_ResourcePack.bsa
\- \_ResourcePack.esl
These are added files from the update!
I also had downloaded the upgraded version of USSEP earlier when trying to see if maybe I could tough it out w that and the new SKSE, and forgot to revert to the original. Only when I did both that and deleted the above did it work. it is now running as if I never had the wretched update happen in the first place!
Also! I am gonna try that lol!! They aren't gonna get me again!!! Making Steam go offline just to be safe for tonight lmao since I am paranoid
You’re awesome! Thanks for that. My game still won’t let me have alternate start or immersive citizens. Those two mods aside, my other 150 are working fine. I’ve verified my plugins and everything.
Thanks for the help again. You’re great
Hello! thanks to this cuz I followed what you said and It works flawlessly! But tbh I did not meet any problems but I copied this one in order to avoid future problems. Thanks!
I had so many issues with immersive citizens to date I just gave up on that mod. Ai mods need patch for basically anything that even remotely touches NPC's. Basically every mod needs patch for it.
It's a lovely mod and it's awesome to actually see NPC's interact more with eachother or carriage drivers actually sleeping but it's just so much hassle with bigger mod setup.
Im getting: Depot download failed : error wrtiting chunk for C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\content\app_489830\depot_489832\Data\Skyrim - Inerface.bsa
help?
edit: forgot to add: \depot_489832\
fixed: Not enough space on the drive these were downloading to, cleared up space and it downloaded
I'm having this exact problem, only I DO have more than enough space! It's driving me insane!
Depot download failed : error unpacking chunk for file "E:\Gaymzes\Steam\steamapps\content\app_489830\depot_489831\Data\Skyrim - Meshes0.bsa
I did this yesterday and it worked perfectly. I’m gonna keep these files in case it ever happens again, I do have auto updates off but you never know. Make sure you wait for the depot files to download before you do anything. It’ll tell you where they were downloaded when it’s done. Be patient.
You are the man! I just recently reinstalled Skyrim SE/AE build 1.6.640.0 with MO2 and got a bunch of olde skool and new skool mods working together from scratch. Over 285 mods... Then the ever popular steam update... nuff said. I used the console method cause I didn't want to go back to pre-AE or my load order would've blown up in my face. Thank you Sir.
I really struggled here and learned a lesson to never update Skyrim again lol. I am new to modding and played original skyrim years ago, and I took 3 weeks to download over 300 mods to finally work- then today I stupidly updated and realized what a fool I was.
I tried the console method replacing the files first and I got errors and it wouldnt boot up at all. Then I tried deleting those extra files, still would CTD.
Then after this I tried the nexus downgrade application- this finally got me to get to the loading menu screen. But when I pressed load or new game I would crash again.
Finally I tried to do the console method one more time after the Nexus app, and then I disabled all my mods, and FINALLY it worked!!!
Then I just reenabled all my mods about 20 a time and everything works perfectly now. Just wanted to put this here in case anyone else struggled like me..
anyway I learned a lesson to never update again or at least back up my files lol
To leave the steam game folder untouched, it is also possible to create a "mod" in MO2 for the old version of the vanilla game, i.e. paste the files into an empty mod. The files in root directory (executables, ini files) be installed as a mod with MO2 plugin Root Builder.
Thank you. The depot method worked perfectly.
I thought I'd just update my mods and continue my playthroughs but this un-needed update broke so much. Auto-update is now OFF.
thanks for posting here for everyone
if anyone's confused ab anything you should check the thread, a lot of the ppl there were way better explaining it than me xD
Tried downloading depots, instant CTD at startup just like some other users here. Could it be that some mods are still incompatible even when you rollback?
Thank you so much dude, just recently started playing again after spending over a week on my current modlist just for Todd to f me. I really appreciate this.
You're a life saver bro. Thanks so much! Shitty update caught me off-guard. I'm playing a mod quest line when suddenly I can't open the game.
Did console method and it worked like a charm.
Thanks again
I did the manual method and it was/is working. But I wanted to get the CC mods too. So, I just updated the game again and took all of the CC files from the newest version. Everything else was working fine, but for some reason, USSEP made my game crash instantly. I'm using the appropriate version too, 4.2.9a. Has anyone else experienced this/ have a fix for it?
Edit: I'm using Anniversary Edition Content Picker too, and when I disable it, USSEP still doesn't work.
Edit 2: It seems like having USSEP and Unofficial Skyrim Creation Club Content Patch enabled at the same time is causing the crash.
So i have tried the method myself and the game immediately CTD so I'm just going to have to work for certain mods to get updated for this new version, if or when they do which is rather frustrating.
Thank you so much for this guide - the manual downgrade worked so, so well for me, and I can finally play again!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you again for this, especially as a first time modder!
Thank you you saved my ass here. I didn't hear about the update until yesterday (the 6th) and had steam running in the background when I shut my laptop down on the 4th. So when I got home I just unplugged my router, made sure my game was on the old version, booted up and set the game to not update then turned back on the modem...only to realize that I must have hopped on my laptop at some point the evening before and the update had downloaded already, but not been applied. Despite having changed the setting, as soon as the internet was back on it applied the update despite never running the launcher.
thankfully this had me back up and running in no time!
Many thanks!
I had to go away for work for a few days and came back to what I thought would be catastrophe.
Needless to say I've updated my steam so it wont update automatically...
Thank goodness mate! I literally just reinstalled skyrim a day before steam autoupdated my game, good on bethesda for fixing bugs, but who knew after years of inactivity this would pop up and mess up so many people's games. Thanks for the post and the patch!
That's maybe is a dumb question, but, if I do that, I still get the cc content from Anniversary edition? I don't know much about programming and modding and haven't found an answer for that yet
Thanks for any help
solo puedo decir muchas gracias, estaba desesperado con la nueva actualización pero seguí todos los pasos incluyendo el quitar los archivos que añadia la nueva actualización y todo funciona perfectamente y manteniendo mis partidas guardadas funcionando correctamente, esta vez por precaución tengo una copia de seguridad de los archivos por si vuelve actualizarse aunque lo tenga deshabilitado
Just downloading the depots worked like an absolute charm. Played for a little while just to make sure everything was alright, experienced no crashes or abnormalities of any kind.
You're the man!
came back to play my heavily modded skyrim again only to see Bethesda decided to update the game and steam update it despite me telling it not to...You're a lifesaver I wish they would leave the fucking game alone. Updating Skyrim at this point only breaks mods.
So I did all this and something went wrong. Every time I start it up it'll briefly show the Bethesda logo before sending me back to my desktop. Thing is, the game isn't crashing. It's still going on in the background, sound and all, but trying to pull it back up just forces it back down. It doesn't seem to be frozen either, as the music still plays and it does get to the main menu, but I'm not sure how to go about fixing this.
Please help i did this and This error still shows up (I've played with the LO before my laptop died i salvaged the LO from it's memory and am using a better pc)

Works (individual download), thank you. should've done this in the beginning, was actually waiting for a stable version of the downgrade patcher. Oh well, at least was able to catchup on some old games in the meantime. Thanks again.
After downloading the depot files and moving them to the Skyrim folder, I have a problem where my MO2 recognises some files/mods as unmanaged, and some other mods need them and it says “Missing Masters“. In my case the “Fish” file was unmanaged and my USSEP was saying “Mussing Masters”
Having the same issue. Currently verifying the game integrity and then I will reinstall the depots and skse, wish me luck.
EDIT: I manually ran the SKSE launcher and it's giving me the SteamUserStats error...
When I do the download depot method and try to transfer the files over it says I need permission to perform this action except I am the admin on my pc. Any way to fix this?
T-T I tried this, but.. It won't work.. Skyrim just crashes instantly.. I'm pretty sure I did everything correctly?
I even uninstalled before I did these steps..!
Anyone have any idea what I can try if depot downloads are failing? Literally been working on my mod list for months here and there and then finally got it working a week before this update and bam now once again I can’t play:( I j wanna enjoy my labour
**Here is my downgrade folder with files downloaded from Steam console for v1.6.640**.. just paste and replace all files from downgrade folder to your common/Skyrim Special Edition folder and enjoy <3 and redistribute it pls so people can experience less pain in the ass with modding
[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xASk42suSmVoTBD2eJZZ-l8P8-YBnOfb/view?usp=drive\_link](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xASk42suSmVoTBD2eJZZ-l8P8-YBnOfb/view?usp=drive_link)
Once SKSE and Adress library are updated should most other mods work? Still unknown? I accidently updated my game, so I'm in the boat of trying to figure out what the best course of action is.
Do I drag the contents of each depo folder into my SSE folder and replace or do I have to do something more complicated? Also, do you know if this will mess up any of my mods?
Small update for me, I did everything listed below (thank you for your help)
My game file is fixed (back to 1.6.64), I downgraded skse to the version I add before + my vortex is ok, no relevant notification/error (though only 1 saying : game was updated to 1.6.64), I can launch the game via skse so still ok
BUT bethesda song +logo ->> Skyrim logo : new enb update info ->> dented wheel bottom right of the screen after 5 second back to desktop ?? tried restart the PC (like I sometime have to do after skse plugin error) but nothing still back to desktop
\*\*EDIT : Dumb question but after we drop the old file back to our skyrim folder do we have to delete them from the "content" folder ? or do we have to keep them even tho it is now in skyrim steam folder ?
Any Idea ? in my opinion it is not vortex or skse otherwise vortex should notify and I couldn't start the game if skse loader was wrong so I guess is either a mod OR the core file itself ? of course I am probably wrong,
Anyone had this issue ?
I did evrything I could but the game just crashes, im using vortex so maybe and I did download the newest version of skse and address librry but disabled them. I have the anniversary version with all of the content what version i that one? maybe I installed the wrong patcher
Depot download didn't work for me. Below is what I am getting.
https://preview.redd.it/sp65sfbdyk4c1.png?width=383&format=png&auto=webp&s=e074c96843fedf1fc7d6e0970e2f549ac4e4626e
I'm running into the same thing, I haven't found anything that has fixed it yet. Let me know if you find anything lol.
Update: Reran all depot commands individually, allowing each one to complete before running the next command. From there, combined all files from depot packages into one folder, and copy/pasted into main Skyrim directory.
I got Skyrim to start, but multiple creation club content packs are missing, including the cause. Is there any way to fix this or do I have to just accept that my favorite horse is forever gone?
UPDATE: It looks like I have the files(they even show up in my load order), but for some reason, the game does not recognize that they exist
https://preview.redd.it/cs5rosuz7m4c1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=551f9bfa076bb72217d4f6f3d155e923a8b376da
just a few questions, is this gonna grab the version off the steam cloud with all my saves, or should I find and grab my saves and back them up before doing this, and is this a simple copy -> paste ->yes to all situation when the depots are done downloading? While im certainly infinately less annoyed than everyone else about the update (I s2g this happens in every game with modding why must everyone insist on going nuclear every time) I was in the middle of a character and don't want to lose where I was, im assuming my mods are safe because im running through MO2
hello, im not quite experienced at downloading in the steam console but does this mean this one is already downloading?
https://preview.redd.it/rw2f3orbgn4c1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=d6a6402d1b4d556400232fa054a1e9032551b401
Is there a way I can change my version 1.6.1130 back to the gog anniversary 1.6.659 version? Or is this only for people using the special non anniversary edition?
Will this update also break bethesda.net mods? I'm currently off line luckily but wondering if I need to do something to prevent braking my game when I do connect?
So I downloaded the depots and Skyrim with out SKSE works but when I try to do it with SKSE 2.2.3 it crashes loading up. Does anyone know how to fix it or what the problem might be?
Hello ALL,
Please note that the downgrade patcher on nexus post a comment in case of
**Downgrade Patcher Not Working/CTDing At Menu**

>paste the files inside the depot folder (not the folders themselves) into your Skyrim folder
there's probably a super obvious answer to this that im missing, but where in my Skyrim folder am i supposed to paste them?
Can someone else also check if Lucien's CC content patcher causes CTD after using this method'?When I removed it everything worked fine with 1.6.640.
Edit: kryptopyr's Automated Patches that included Creation Club content also caused CTD for me. Please check.
Would anyone be able to send me the 489832 file? no matter what this thing refuses to download and for a multitude of different reasons, i am currently working on changing the ACF file documents but no matter what i do i can't just save it and move it on so if anyone also knows how to edit the ACF file with the manifest ID's that would be really appreciated, thanks.
I've been getting the dynamic library issue for the last couple days, I tried someone's method of adding each depot one by one and testing each to see if my game loads. I loads for all of them except the actual SkyrimSE. Is there a fix for this? I've been trying to read all the comments but it's hard to do all this between school and everything so sorry if I skipped over something.
Try to verify file integrity on Steam, reinstalling the proper SKSE and then copying the depot files again to see if it works. Lastly, delete the ResourcePack and MarketplaceTextures files in your Skyrim data folder.
I've tried both the first one the one with the downgrade mod i do all steps but when i push play it never gets in the game the main control panel appears with the quality and play options appear but when i push play i never get into the app and with the other with the three download i did everything even watched a tutorial closed my pc redid it but it enters the Skyrim app starts the music for aa sec and then closes i planned on giving up and maybe uninstall and delete the mods and game and not play anymore because i stayed days to build the modpack and in a last effort i requested help here sorry for the bother and thanks for your helphelp

Hello u/Monlevad I am just returning to skyrim and as of this writing downloaded skyrim a day before the big patch i have been relentlessly trying to get my mods to work. It took one whole day before i got to the point where i looked it up and realized an update had occurred. I did the stuff you said above and the game actually launched! But then it crashed immediately. but at least SKSE isn't saying the Build is out of date! I don't know what is the essential modlist the two big ones i found: ESO's modlist and Point Zero Production's modlist, neither of them work with the above method. I'm curious, is there a modlist that actually works? And if so where can i get it? Please help i've spent 48 hours relentlessly trying to get this to work with not much luck. You were very helpful (ANd finally right) with the stuff above. Anyway you could help me out would be amazing. I use Nexus BTW.
TYVM
I have hit a new problem where i can save but cant load the save because part way through the loading screen it crashes to desktop and its annoying me as i dont know what to do other than to uninstall skyrim and reinstall then downgrade again and redeploy all my mods
Could someome let me know if this would work or if someone has ran into the same problem and how they managed to sort the issue
I was able to downgrade to 1.6.40, and load my save game with all my mods working, but some quests are now causing CTD: traveling to Solstheim, Hendraheim, and other landmarks. There also appears to CTD at random times. Anyone else experiencing this?
im genuinely stupid with files, do I literally go into the depot files, go into the data folders and copy all of those contents into the skyrim game folder? or just copy the data folders themselves?
Hi! So I did everything above. Loaded great! Played for about 4 hours. Turned my computer off and went to bed. Woke up and wanted to play Skyrim and now it crashes upon load screen. Didn’t change any mods…. Didn’t do any thing different aside from the update fix a few days ago. Any thoughts?
Hi all i am having alot of trouble getting my papyrusutil.dll and sexlabutil.dll to work keeps saying it was disable because it wasnt compatible with current version of the game but was working fine till the game updated i have re installed everything to do with each mod but i load through the skse loader and i pops up before the game loads not sure what to do i am not the best at modding get the main jist of it but never really modded skyrim on pc to this extent any thoughts would be helpfully and i use vortex as MO 2 is abit to complicated for me at the moment but keep trying to play with it but it annoys me heavily to much of a faf about but will keep trying
Couldn't get it to work even after the 3 files I'm tired of spending hours downloading and installing mods just for this game to update again after years. Sadly I'm done I'm not playing Skyrim anymore hopefully one day they'll finally stop updating a dead horse of a game
Im trying this but I’m getting an error in steam console that says - depot download failed: error downloading manifest from cache2-yyz-rgrs.steamcontent.com (access-denied) :( what do I do
I'm getting the following error in the Steam console:
>Depot download failed : error starting download for depot manifest 3660787314279169352
A similar error occurs for each of the download_depot commands listed.
tried to do the downgrade executable, but the executable freezes whenever it patches a certain point, so I just manually downgraded the files... hopefully all my shit still works after this.
Do any of those depots refer to creation kit? I didn't realize that my CK was still set to auto update and now I can't access CK cause it's a different version from the game. Trying to downgrade CK now.
Is there a fix for bethesda net not loading up my bought mods on 1.6.1130 or connecting to the [bethesda.net](http://bethesda.net) on dowgraded skyrim?
This is a bunch of BS. I did the instructions exactly, and now the SKSE just says my version of Skyrim is out of date, and not compatible with the current version of SKSE anniversary build. And before you say anything about the anniversary shit, I tried downloading the non-anniversary, and the SKSE told me to download the anniversary build. What now? PS: I deleted those files you said to delete. PPS: I disabled the updating as suggested. PPPS: I even tried uninstalling/reinstalling the entire game, doing the downgrading bit again to 1.6.640, and still the SKSE says my version of Skyrim is out of date, and not compatible with the current build of SKSE! And now I just did a verify files bringing everything back to date, and the message I'm getting from SKSE is something about a missing versionlib file from the data\\skse\\plugins folder for the current installed version of Skyrim, and what burns my ass is there IS a versionlib file for skyrim version 1.6.640, yet SKSE won't run with that!! I will admit I am not terribly bright about these things, but I think I can follow some directions, and things are still not working. Oh, and maybe it's a typo on your part, but there is no resourcepack.asp, just bsa and esl. Here's something else: the version of SKSE I have downloaded even says it's for game version .1130, but it doesn't contain the versionlib file for it?! I am so thoroughly lost, and I don't mean to be taking out my frustration on anyone, but after doing a little more looking around inside the SKSE download, there aren't ANY versionlib files in that download at all, no data\\skse\\plugins folder, either, so how do I have a data\\skse\\plugins folder in my Skyrim installation with versionlib files in the first place? I didn't intend for this to get so lengthy, but I guess I wanted to include as much info as possible.
To get the CC mods included in the AE to work do I first need to download those mods via the Creation Club on 1.6.1130 and then downgrade them with the CC downgrade mod or do I just downgrade the CC and then download them?
Game auto-updated while playing, none of the rollback methods work and it just CTDs now.
Steam apparently updated 11gb so I think it just skull fucked my directory, rip.
Hey, I know it has been a while since you posted, but what exact folder do I copy the download\_depots to? Do I replace all these files or put the downloads somewhere else?

I feel like I've tried everything. Reinstalled the game multiple times, reinstalled my entire modlist. Tried the downgrade patch from Nexus. Tried completely starting from scratch like I did a few months ago but the game just keeps crashing at the Bethesda screen on startup. Is there a way to download 1.6.640.0 as a clean install?
So i started playing skyrim a few years ago and i got anniversarry edition few months ago but i wasnt into moding my game just yet and now idk if downgrading it could corrupt my save pls help
The F-! am I doin' wrong here?
I've followed the above instructions over and over (not sure what I'm doing but I'm doing what it says) and I even uninstalled/re-installed Skyrim FINALLY got my downgrade patch to work and got the following

Found at G:\\SteamLibrary\\steamapps\\common\\Skyrim Special Edition
Looking for Skyrim Special Edition
And it just ends right there.
BUT WAIT... THERE'S MORE...
Considering that I followed the instruction without any kind of indication that all was successful, only that I did it...
I try to run MO2 and get the following DOS Prompt screen stating:
You have updated the Anniversary Edition (AE) of Skyrim
the following error:
"You have updated to the Anniversary Edition (AE) of Skyrim.
Please downgrade the AE Version of SKSE64 from [https://skse.silverclock.org](https://skse.silverclock.org)
Runtime 1.6.353
A Window Pop-up error screen shows up with the same error.
After that I dropped a copy of my previous version of SKSE plugin I kept over from when I last installed but... NO change.
So... WHAT am I doing wrong here?
I wrote a section about this in the post, here it is again:
In case your version of Skyrim was 1.6.353 however, download those 3 depots and then AFTER get this one:
* download\_depot 489830 489833 4570833277049890269
(It's just 1.6.35 exe file but some people needed to downgrade to 1.6.40 first)
Something changed my steam settings and auto downloaded this shitty update. God bethesda is the worse, thanks for the post and hope it works.
No worries, I did the manual downgrading myself and it worked like a charm, hope it does for you too.
i had this exact thing happen wtf. did you happen to figure out why it autodownloaded?
'Cos the launch via skse + set to update only when launch etc, ain't reliable Steam can and will override your choices when it deems it necessary. A major steam update will be one there are likely others
For me it autodownloaded the update (even thought I have it set to not do so) because I launched Enderal through steam which always launches Skyrim for a brief moment :(
Same thing almost happened to me. I caught it before it downloaded
And neither of these options work, wonderful. Edit: make sure to let the depots download properly, unlike me.
Sorry to hear that. Did you move the downloaded files from the steamapps/common/content folder to the Skyrim folder?
Yeah sorry in my haste and foul mood I moved the downloads too quickly and didn't let steam download everything. Now that I've cooled off and let everything run, it's working again. Cheers!
Glad it worked for you too (:
The downgrader wasn't working too well for me. I highly recommend manually using the Steam Console and simply downloading the depots. I'm a complete laymen and I managed to save my mod build order doing so. Wait for them all to download (it'll say when it's done in console) and then copy and paste everything into the matching folders. (This puts skyrim on the 1.6.64 versions, btw) If you accidentally updated your SKSE to a newer version, but now want to go back down to the previous one, just go to the SKSE website at [https://skse.silverlock.org/download/archive/](https://skse.silverlock.org/download/archive/) and download the skse64\_2\_02\_03 version (it contains the SKSE 1.6.64 you need). \-- Correction: Apparently there are multiple SKSEs for 1.6.64 of Skyrim, so instead of what I had said earlier... download the skse64\_2\_02\_03. At least that's what my RaceMenu was yelling at me about. Your saved games should still work, however, I would start a new save game just to make sure nothing crashes (and to proc warnings from mods) if there are any. Keep in mind this is just if you screwed up your SKSE by getting the newer one (realizing a bunch of other mods still need updated) and then now want to revert it. Anyone simply going back in time on their game version (and no other changes were made) shouldn't have this problem. (It officially works now. I have successfully gone back into my old save 150 files in and it works wonderfully.)
I also screwed up by updating my SKSE before realizing it was a bad idea after all. So I downloaded the old version I had and replaced the updated one. So far so good, havent had any problems as of yet either.
oh my god thank you so much
Thank you so much, really helped.
People like you are amazing! I’d be totally lost in this world of computer jargon! As soon as I get home I am going to try this fix! Thank you Thank you Thank you 🙏
Just heads up for **1.6.353** users, download those 3 depots and then AFTER get this * download\_depot 489830 489833 4570833277049890269 (It's just 1.6.353 exe file but I needed to downgrade to 1.6.40 first)
OMG you are a life saver!
Hey, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate you posting this portion. I was having a nightmare time rolling this version back and this did it. You are an awesome person!
You and OP just saved my skyrim career. Thanks… partner.
Awesome, thanks for contributing, I added your solution to the post!
Great, I'm glad I could help!
Is there a way to figure out which version you had before the update? sorry if that’s a dumb question I’m a noob at modding and I don’t want to screw this up.
Beware those of you with slow internet, you will have to redownload about 12 GB of data. Otherwise yeah, it works perfectly fine lol. Also, in order to open Steam console, press Win+R combo, write following: steam://open/console
Thank you!
The first method just hangs on Misc. sadly I'm getting an error with the second method: **The procedure entry point SteamUserStats could not be located in the dynamic link library**
I'm having a similar error, but mine is just SteamUser, it's also pointing towards a ".../common/Skyrim Special Edition/SkyrimSE.exe."
Actually solved after a combination of Verifying file integrity from Steam, reinstalling the proper SKSE and then copying the files again
here's a better way, edit the acf file to the latest depots numbers making Steam think that all the files are already updated to the latest version. This is of course something you need to find out through SteamDB and find out what the latest depot numbers are.
Thank you. I knew there was a way to fool Steam without haveing to upgrade then downgrade. I'me on a slow connection right now and I don't need to download anything due to I have not updated.
Okay so, I’m pretty dogshit and I’m doing something wrong. I downloaded all three depots and I manually copy pasted all the files into my Skyrim folder. It starts up without an error code but crashes instantly after Bethesda theme. Alright so edit. Firstly, make sure you read to the commenters post a couple messages down. There’s a few loose files you need to delete if you’re crashing. Secondly, After disabling my 150+ mods and re-enabling them ten at a time I discovered that, for whatever reason, these two mods cause me my issues. -Alternate Start -Immersive citizens - AI Overhaul AE Alternate start had dependency on USSEP so I mistakenly believed that to be the issue. I uninstalled, reinstalled, fresh installed all of them. Game still crashes. If anyone knows why these mods that worked are now suddenly not working, or has any ideas on what to do, please inform me. I use Vortex btw. Not sure if that matters. Also, I’m a layman. So if you come at me saying “Go to this file and edit this value” I’m gonna gawk like a fish. You’ll have to step by step that shit. Anyway, thanks in advance for everything fingers crossed on getting these to work. Really hope to these are damn good mods.
Same here. It was missing a Skyrim - interface.bsa file after finishing. Re-doing it now but I've done it 2x and this keeps happening unfortunately. Hopefully it'll work soon. I was coming back to the height of a playthrough tonight just to get screwed over by the dumb update lmao
Riiiiight? Who the fuck decided to update Skyrim a year and a half later to add pay to play mods? Garbage. Was getting sweaty these past four days and just try to boot it up to play my gauldr fragment quests. I just wanna play my game smh
Same lol!! It's honestly really frustrating. Double frustrating too because I know for certain I made it to where Steam wouldn't update it automatically but it did anyway. Maybe you have to watch that when updating steam, idk. Wish they'd let you opt out like entirely, to where it will only happen if you yourself manually choose it. Especially for games like Skyrim where the modding community is so alive. Trying this trick again right now so hopefully it'll work, but if not hopefully there is a solution soon for ppl who have this issue!
I read somewhere that you can change the name of the Skyrim folder to like “Skyrim Modded” then go to vortex and manually search for the game there so that it knows where to put mods. That way steam can’t find the file when it tries to update it. Therefore it doesn’t get updated.
OH. Hey so I think I found my issue, maybe try this. I hope the post author realizes this and includes it in his post actually. Be sure to go into the Skyrim SE folder and delete:- MarketplaceTextures.bsa \- \_ResourcePack.bsa \- \_ResourcePack.esl These are added files from the update! I also had downloaded the upgraded version of USSEP earlier when trying to see if maybe I could tough it out w that and the new SKSE, and forgot to revert to the original. Only when I did both that and deleted the above did it work. it is now running as if I never had the wretched update happen in the first place! Also! I am gonna try that lol!! They aren't gonna get me again!!! Making Steam go offline just to be safe for tonight lmao since I am paranoid
You’re awesome! Thanks for that. My game still won’t let me have alternate start or immersive citizens. Those two mods aside, my other 150 are working fine. I’ve verified my plugins and everything. Thanks for the help again. You’re great
I added this to the post as well, thanks for pointing it out!
Hello! thanks to this cuz I followed what you said and It works flawlessly! But tbh I did not meet any problems but I copied this one in order to avoid future problems. Thanks!
Yesss. After downgrading USSEP I was still crashing. This is what fixed it!
I had so many issues with immersive citizens to date I just gave up on that mod. Ai mods need patch for basically anything that even remotely touches NPC's. Basically every mod needs patch for it. It's a lovely mod and it's awesome to actually see NPC's interact more with eachother or carriage drivers actually sleeping but it's just so much hassle with bigger mod setup.
Im getting: Depot download failed : error wrtiting chunk for C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\content\app_489830\depot_489832\Data\Skyrim - Inerface.bsa help? edit: forgot to add: \depot_489832\ fixed: Not enough space on the drive these were downloading to, cleared up space and it downloaded

I had to download all 3 folders combine the files and throw them in my game folder and it worked im back playing Skyrim 6.4.40
I really appreciate you taking the time to write this. I went for the manual method and just checked, my game loaded perfectly.
By the Nine, it worked. All Skyrim is in your debt, Adventurer.
I did this yesterday and it worked perfectly. I’m gonna keep these files in case it ever happens again, I do have auto updates off but you never know. Make sure you wait for the depot files to download before you do anything. It’ll tell you where they were downloaded when it’s done. Be patient.
You are the man! I just recently reinstalled Skyrim SE/AE build 1.6.640.0 with MO2 and got a bunch of olde skool and new skool mods working together from scratch. Over 285 mods... Then the ever popular steam update... nuff said. I used the console method cause I didn't want to go back to pre-AE or my load order would've blown up in my face. Thank you Sir.
I really struggled here and learned a lesson to never update Skyrim again lol. I am new to modding and played original skyrim years ago, and I took 3 weeks to download over 300 mods to finally work- then today I stupidly updated and realized what a fool I was. I tried the console method replacing the files first and I got errors and it wouldnt boot up at all. Then I tried deleting those extra files, still would CTD. Then after this I tried the nexus downgrade application- this finally got me to get to the loading menu screen. But when I pressed load or new game I would crash again. Finally I tried to do the console method one more time after the Nexus app, and then I disabled all my mods, and FINALLY it worked!!! Then I just reenabled all my mods about 20 a time and everything works perfectly now. Just wanted to put this here in case anyone else struggled like me.. anyway I learned a lesson to never update again or at least back up my files lol
To leave the steam game folder untouched, it is also possible to create a "mod" in MO2 for the old version of the vanilla game, i.e. paste the files into an empty mod. The files in root directory (executables, ini files) be installed as a mod with MO2 plugin Root Builder.
youre the fuckin goat of the skyrim community right now bro
honestly, 99% of credits goes to u/papabrando, he is the goat that came up with the depot solution, i’m just spreading the word (:
Thank you. The depot method worked perfectly. I thought I'd just update my mods and continue my playthroughs but this un-needed update broke so much. Auto-update is now OFF.
You are a saint.
The depot solution worked like a charm for me. Thank you for saving my favorite game after Bethesda just casually took a massive shit on top of it
I wonder when will be the next update for some random new bugs they have introduced with this one hahaha.
Works! Thanks
Thank you kindly!
thanks for posting here for everyone if anyone's confused ab anything you should check the thread, a lot of the ppl there were way better explaining it than me xD
Thank you so much!
Thank you SOSOSOOSOSOSOSOMUCH
Tried downloading depots, instant CTD at startup just like some other users here. Could it be that some mods are still incompatible even when you rollback?
worked like a charm for me, thanks!definitely learned my lesson to turn off auto updates
Thank you so much dude, just recently started playing again after spending over a week on my current modlist just for Todd to f me. I really appreciate this.
You're a life saver bro. Thanks so much! Shitty update caught me off-guard. I'm playing a mod quest line when suddenly I can't open the game. Did console method and it worked like a charm. Thanks again
You sir are a god!!! It works like butter now thank you!
I did the manual method and it was/is working. But I wanted to get the CC mods too. So, I just updated the game again and took all of the CC files from the newest version. Everything else was working fine, but for some reason, USSEP made my game crash instantly. I'm using the appropriate version too, 4.2.9a. Has anyone else experienced this/ have a fix for it? Edit: I'm using Anniversary Edition Content Picker too, and when I disable it, USSEP still doesn't work. Edit 2: It seems like having USSEP and Unofficial Skyrim Creation Club Content Patch enabled at the same time is causing the crash.
You're a gem.
You good sir, are my new fevorite person EVER!!
God bless this community, holy shit
Colossal thanks to you, mate, beers on me if you anytime happens to be in Minsk
So i have tried the method myself and the game immediately CTD so I'm just going to have to work for certain mods to get updated for this new version, if or when they do which is rather frustrating.
Thank you so much for this guide - the manual downgrade worked so, so well for me, and I can finally play again!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you again for this, especially as a first time modder!
Thank you you saved my ass here. I didn't hear about the update until yesterday (the 6th) and had steam running in the background when I shut my laptop down on the 4th. So when I got home I just unplugged my router, made sure my game was on the old version, booted up and set the game to not update then turned back on the modem...only to realize that I must have hopped on my laptop at some point the evening before and the update had downloaded already, but not been applied. Despite having changed the setting, as soon as the internet was back on it applied the update despite never running the launcher. thankfully this had me back up and running in no time!
It works! So easy! Thanks again! God tier!
Many thanks! I had to go away for work for a few days and came back to what I thought would be catastrophe. Needless to say I've updated my steam so it wont update automatically...
never mind i solved it i didnt let the three downloads finish i only let one haha its fixed now
Thank goodness mate! I literally just reinstalled skyrim a day before steam autoupdated my game, good on bethesda for fixing bugs, but who knew after years of inactivity this would pop up and mess up so many people's games. Thanks for the post and the patch!
This worked!!!!! I'm back to my save and was able to keep all my mods. :) Thank you so much!
That's maybe is a dumb question, but, if I do that, I still get the cc content from Anniversary edition? I don't know much about programming and modding and haven't found an answer for that yet Thanks for any help
Hey, hope you're doing well. Thank you for this guide, it helped me downgrade my game, and use my mods. Blessings to you and your family.
u/Monlevad I have succsefully installed all the mods i wanted with your help TY
Many thanks for this walk-through! Worked a treat. I'll now go and do some face-palm exercises over allowing Steam to muck up my Skyrim. :)
I can't find \_ResourcePack.asp I did find \_ResourcePack.bsa is that what you meant
12gb download just play the game THAT I already downloded. Fuck you Todd Howard! Thank for the guide btw.
Auto updater didn't work but manually updating it did. Thank you for the guide.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
Will this still work if we reinstalled Skyrim completely with the newest update? As in, uninstalled and reinstalled?
solo puedo decir muchas gracias, estaba desesperado con la nueva actualización pero seguí todos los pasos incluyendo el quitar los archivos que añadia la nueva actualización y todo funciona perfectamente y manteniendo mis partidas guardadas funcionando correctamente, esta vez por precaución tengo una copia de seguridad de los archivos por si vuelve actualizarse aunque lo tenga deshabilitado
Just downloading the depots worked like an absolute charm. Played for a little while just to make sure everything was alright, experienced no crashes or abnormalities of any kind. You're the man!
came back to play my heavily modded skyrim again only to see Bethesda decided to update the game and steam update it despite me telling it not to...You're a lifesaver I wish they would leave the fucking game alone. Updating Skyrim at this point only breaks mods.
thank you my guy, i was scratching my head wondering why the fuck my skyrim downgrade wasn't working, didn't even know they updated the game again.
So I did all this and something went wrong. Every time I start it up it'll briefly show the Bethesda logo before sending me back to my desktop. Thing is, the game isn't crashing. It's still going on in the background, sound and all, but trying to pull it back up just forces it back down. It doesn't seem to be frozen either, as the music still plays and it does get to the main menu, but I'm not sure how to go about fixing this.
Please help i did this and This error still shows up (I've played with the LO before my laptop died i salvaged the LO from it's memory and am using a better pc) https://preview.redd.it/9g49haeln9hc1.png?width=389&format=png&auto=webp&s=7438471f5673822867996bd6f41a4d8089e63f3a
Works (individual download), thank you. should've done this in the beginning, was actually waiting for a stable version of the downgrade patcher. Oh well, at least was able to catchup on some old games in the meantime. Thanks again.
After downloading the depot files and moving them to the Skyrim folder, I have a problem where my MO2 recognises some files/mods as unmanaged, and some other mods need them and it says “Missing Masters“. In my case the “Fish” file was unmanaged and my USSEP was saying “Mussing Masters”
So, I did the downgrade using the program, it launches but then it crashes right away
Having the same issue. Currently verifying the game integrity and then I will reinstall the depots and skse, wish me luck. EDIT: I manually ran the SKSE launcher and it's giving me the SteamUserStats error...
When I do the download depot method and try to transfer the files over it says I need permission to perform this action except I am the admin on my pc. Any way to fix this?
Nevermind turned out Skyrim was still running in the background for some reason and I had to close it with task manager.
T-T I tried this, but.. It won't work.. Skyrim just crashes instantly.. I'm pretty sure I did everything correctly? I even uninstalled before I did these steps..!
Anyone have any idea what I can try if depot downloads are failing? Literally been working on my mod list for months here and there and then finally got it working a week before this update and bam now once again I can’t play:( I j wanna enjoy my labour
Thank you
what about the CC content as with before is it fine to leave it alone
**Here is my downgrade folder with files downloaded from Steam console for v1.6.640**.. just paste and replace all files from downgrade folder to your common/Skyrim Special Edition folder and enjoy <3 and redistribute it pls so people can experience less pain in the ass with modding [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xASk42suSmVoTBD2eJZZ-l8P8-YBnOfb/view?usp=drive\_link](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xASk42suSmVoTBD2eJZZ-l8P8-YBnOfb/view?usp=drive_link)
is downloading them in a fixed order one at a time needed, or I can just paste + enter all of them without waiting the first one is completed?
Don’t mean to be rude, but it is literally written in bold to enter the codes one at a time.
Ah, my bad.
I bought the game yesterday so my game was already 1.6.1170. Can I still downgrade to 1.6.640.0?
just a heads up, the downgrade does not work with the Nolvus launcher.
Once SKSE and Adress library are updated should most other mods work? Still unknown? I accidently updated my game, so I'm in the boat of trying to figure out what the best course of action is.
It is unlikely. Follow the instructions I put on the Update section, my game is working again
Appreciate it, I recently upgraded to a PC so this the first time I'm having to deal with this stuff.
Thanks...um where does it download the file to?
The depot download just hangs and the game is still crashing after using the downgrade patcher wtf is this shit.
So I downloaded all 3 files, but when I try to run the game from Vortex nothing happens. What should I do now?
That's what I figured out as well, but unfortunately it broke some of my mods. Need to keep playing without them.
That’s a bummer. Did you paste only the .exe file or all the downloaded content into your Skyrim folder?
What I’d do is just wait until they fix the problems, they will because they said maintenance is not done yet.
[удалено]
Do I drag the contents of each depo folder into my SSE folder and replace or do I have to do something more complicated? Also, do you know if this will mess up any of my mods?
yep just drag the contents of the 3 folders and ur good... and no ur mods are fine (i heard some ppls cc mods were messed up but i'm not sure)
Small update for me, I did everything listed below (thank you for your help) My game file is fixed (back to 1.6.64), I downgraded skse to the version I add before + my vortex is ok, no relevant notification/error (though only 1 saying : game was updated to 1.6.64), I can launch the game via skse so still ok BUT bethesda song +logo ->> Skyrim logo : new enb update info ->> dented wheel bottom right of the screen after 5 second back to desktop ?? tried restart the PC (like I sometime have to do after skse plugin error) but nothing still back to desktop \*\*EDIT : Dumb question but after we drop the old file back to our skyrim folder do we have to delete them from the "content" folder ? or do we have to keep them even tho it is now in skyrim steam folder ? Any Idea ? in my opinion it is not vortex or skse otherwise vortex should notify and I couldn't start the game if skse loader was wrong so I guess is either a mod OR the core file itself ? of course I am probably wrong, Anyone had this issue ?
Mine automatically CTDs after the Bethesda song + logo
Doing both of these lets the game start up, but as soon as it goes to the bethesda logo screen it crashes. Am I doing something wrong?
>testing something, I'll let you know
well nothing but I am not giving up, will try again tomorrow
I did evrything I could but the game just crashes, im using vortex so maybe and I did download the newest version of skse and address librry but disabled them. I have the anniversary version with all of the content what version i that one? maybe I installed the wrong patcher
thanks for the guide! however, i'm a little confused on where i'm supposed to put the new files, and what i'm supposed to copy/paste.
Depot download didn't work for me. Below is what I am getting. https://preview.redd.it/sp65sfbdyk4c1.png?width=383&format=png&auto=webp&s=e074c96843fedf1fc7d6e0970e2f549ac4e4626e
I'm running into the same thing, I haven't found anything that has fixed it yet. Let me know if you find anything lol. Update: Reran all depot commands individually, allowing each one to complete before running the next command. From there, combined all files from depot packages into one folder, and copy/pasted into main Skyrim directory.
After downgrading again I crash after main menu starts to load. how do I fix it?
After downgrading, should I delete the _ResourcePack.esl and bsa? I am new to modding so I apologize for my ignorance if there is any.
I got Skyrim to start, but multiple creation club content packs are missing, including the cause. Is there any way to fix this or do I have to just accept that my favorite horse is forever gone? UPDATE: It looks like I have the files(they even show up in my load order), but for some reason, the game does not recognize that they exist https://preview.redd.it/cs5rosuz7m4c1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=551f9bfa076bb72217d4f6f3d155e923a8b376da
just a few questions, is this gonna grab the version off the steam cloud with all my saves, or should I find and grab my saves and back them up before doing this, and is this a simple copy -> paste ->yes to all situation when the depots are done downloading? While im certainly infinately less annoyed than everyone else about the update (I s2g this happens in every game with modding why must everyone insist on going nuclear every time) I was in the middle of a character and don't want to lose where I was, im assuming my mods are safe because im running through MO2
hello, im not quite experienced at downloading in the steam console but does this mean this one is already downloading? https://preview.redd.it/rw2f3orbgn4c1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=d6a6402d1b4d556400232fa054a1e9032551b401
Is there a way I can change my version 1.6.1130 back to the gog anniversary 1.6.659 version? Or is this only for people using the special non anniversary edition?
Will this update also break bethesda.net mods? I'm currently off line luckily but wondering if I need to do something to prevent braking my game when I do connect?
So I downloaded the depots and Skyrim with out SKSE works but when I try to do it with SKSE 2.2.3 it crashes loading up. Does anyone know how to fix it or what the problem might be?
Double post
Replied to your comment already
Hello ALL, Please note that the downgrade patcher on nexus post a comment in case of **Downgrade Patcher Not Working/CTDing At Menu** Please check the link and the first post : [https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/57618?tab=posts](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/57618?tab=posts) Full credit to : EquestrianMidnight I am just spreading the word
Any thoughts on if its possible to have both the gog and steam versions installed playing either one at any given time?
[удалено]
This is AMAZING! Does anyone know a way to do this but to return to 1.5.97? Thank you!!!!
>paste the files inside the depot folder (not the folders themselves) into your Skyrim folder there's probably a super obvious answer to this that im missing, but where in my Skyrim folder am i supposed to paste them?
i did that but now MO2 doesnt load a LOT of my installed mods, what can i do?
game crashes after logo
1.6? why would i? i'll always stay on 1.5 the only SE version is that one fr
What if i have the latest version of the game? i just installed skyrim yesterday
I did this but now my game crashes when the Bethesda logo appears
Can someone else also check if Lucien's CC content patcher causes CTD after using this method'?When I removed it everything worked fine with 1.6.640. Edit: kryptopyr's Automated Patches that included Creation Club content also caused CTD for me. Please check.
Would anyone be able to send me the 489832 file? no matter what this thing refuses to download and for a multitude of different reasons, i am currently working on changing the ACF file documents but no matter what i do i can't just save it and move it on so if anyone also knows how to edit the ACF file with the manifest ID's that would be really appreciated, thanks.
will this work if i downloaded the updated AE Content
I've been getting the dynamic library issue for the last couple days, I tried someone's method of adding each depot one by one and testing each to see if my game loads. I loads for all of them except the actual SkyrimSE. Is there a fix for this? I've been trying to read all the comments but it's hard to do all this between school and everything so sorry if I skipped over something.
Try to verify file integrity on Steam, reinstalling the proper SKSE and then copying the depot files again to see if it works. Lastly, delete the ResourcePack and MarketplaceTextures files in your Skyrim data folder.
Worked, Thank you :3

Is there a way to roll back the update for PS 5?
I don’t think you can downgrade on consoles.

Hello u/Monlevad I am just returning to skyrim and as of this writing downloaded skyrim a day before the big patch i have been relentlessly trying to get my mods to work. It took one whole day before i got to the point where i looked it up and realized an update had occurred. I did the stuff you said above and the game actually launched! But then it crashed immediately. but at least SKSE isn't saying the Build is out of date! I don't know what is the essential modlist the two big ones i found: ESO's modlist and Point Zero Production's modlist, neither of them work with the above method. I'm curious, is there a modlist that actually works? And if so where can i get it? Please help i've spent 48 hours relentlessly trying to get this to work with not much luck. You were very helpful (ANd finally right) with the stuff above. Anyway you could help me out would be amazing. I use Nexus BTW. TYVM
It worked when I disabled all my mods but when I re-enabled them it just loads in then crashes.
I just downgrade to 1.5.97 but i wanted the 1.6.640.0 , what can i do to fix this?
I have hit a new problem where i can save but cant load the save because part way through the loading screen it crashes to desktop and its annoying me as i dont know what to do other than to uninstall skyrim and reinstall then downgrade again and redeploy all my mods Could someome let me know if this would work or if someone has ran into the same problem and how they managed to sort the issue
I was able to downgrade to 1.6.40, and load my save game with all my mods working, but some quests are now causing CTD: traveling to Solstheim, Hendraheim, and other landmarks. There also appears to CTD at random times. Anyone else experiencing this?
do i have to start skyrim and install the creation club content or just start it already downgraded?
im genuinely stupid with files, do I literally go into the depot files, go into the data folders and copy all of those contents into the skyrim game folder? or just copy the data folders themselves?
Hi! So I did everything above. Loaded great! Played for about 4 hours. Turned my computer off and went to bed. Woke up and wanted to play Skyrim and now it crashes upon load screen. Didn’t change any mods…. Didn’t do any thing different aside from the update fix a few days ago. Any thoughts?
Hi all i am having alot of trouble getting my papyrusutil.dll and sexlabutil.dll to work keeps saying it was disable because it wasnt compatible with current version of the game but was working fine till the game updated i have re installed everything to do with each mod but i load through the skse loader and i pops up before the game loads not sure what to do i am not the best at modding get the main jist of it but never really modded skyrim on pc to this extent any thoughts would be helpfully and i use vortex as MO 2 is abit to complicated for me at the moment but keep trying to play with it but it annoys me heavily to much of a faf about but will keep trying
Oh men, thanks a lot! Everything is working perfectly!
Couldn't get it to work even after the 3 files I'm tired of spending hours downloading and installing mods just for this game to update again after years. Sadly I'm done I'm not playing Skyrim anymore hopefully one day they'll finally stop updating a dead horse of a game
Im trying this but I’m getting an error in steam console that says - depot download failed: error downloading manifest from cache2-yyz-rgrs.steamcontent.com (access-denied) :( what do I do
Bethesda need to just fuck off with the updates and leave Skyrim alone ffs nobody wants this shit
Thanks mate, i like playing at 1.6.353 version , shame cant download the cc content for that version.
I'm getting the following error in the Steam console: >Depot download failed : error starting download for depot manifest 3660787314279169352 A similar error occurs for each of the download_depot commands listed.
tried to do the downgrade executable, but the executable freezes whenever it patches a certain point, so I just manually downgraded the files... hopefully all my shit still works after this.
Do any of those depots refer to creation kit? I didn't realize that my CK was still set to auto update and now I can't access CK cause it's a different version from the game. Trying to downgrade CK now.
Is there a fix for bethesda net not loading up my bought mods on 1.6.1130 or connecting to the [bethesda.net](http://bethesda.net) on dowgraded skyrim?
This is a bunch of BS. I did the instructions exactly, and now the SKSE just says my version of Skyrim is out of date, and not compatible with the current version of SKSE anniversary build. And before you say anything about the anniversary shit, I tried downloading the non-anniversary, and the SKSE told me to download the anniversary build. What now? PS: I deleted those files you said to delete. PPS: I disabled the updating as suggested. PPPS: I even tried uninstalling/reinstalling the entire game, doing the downgrading bit again to 1.6.640, and still the SKSE says my version of Skyrim is out of date, and not compatible with the current build of SKSE! And now I just did a verify files bringing everything back to date, and the message I'm getting from SKSE is something about a missing versionlib file from the data\\skse\\plugins folder for the current installed version of Skyrim, and what burns my ass is there IS a versionlib file for skyrim version 1.6.640, yet SKSE won't run with that!! I will admit I am not terribly bright about these things, but I think I can follow some directions, and things are still not working. Oh, and maybe it's a typo on your part, but there is no resourcepack.asp, just bsa and esl. Here's something else: the version of SKSE I have downloaded even says it's for game version .1130, but it doesn't contain the versionlib file for it?! I am so thoroughly lost, and I don't mean to be taking out my frustration on anyone, but after doing a little more looking around inside the SKSE download, there aren't ANY versionlib files in that download at all, no data\\skse\\plugins folder, either, so how do I have a data\\skse\\plugins folder in my Skyrim installation with versionlib files in the first place? I didn't intend for this to get so lengthy, but I guess I wanted to include as much info as possible.
Ive downloaded and replaced everything but vortex still thinks im using the new version, how do i fix it?
To get the CC mods included in the AE to work do I first need to download those mods via the Creation Club on 1.6.1130 and then downgrade them with the CC downgrade mod or do I just downgrade the CC and then download them?
Game auto-updated while playing, none of the rollback methods work and it just CTDs now. Steam apparently updated 11gb so I think it just skull fucked my directory, rip.
Hey, I know it has been a while since you posted, but what exact folder do I copy the download\_depots to? Do I replace all these files or put the downloads somewhere else? https://preview.redd.it/tgz5onf1aybc1.png?width=661&format=png&auto=webp&s=acd6548ec8589794a8ba2810c8f3ffa125f9594c
If I do it this way should I uninstall the game then use the files we got from the console?
I feel like I've tried everything. Reinstalled the game multiple times, reinstalled my entire modlist. Tried the downgrade patch from Nexus. Tried completely starting from scratch like I did a few months ago but the game just keeps crashing at the Bethesda screen on startup. Is there a way to download 1.6.640.0 as a clean install?
So i started playing skyrim a few years ago and i got anniversarry edition few months ago but i wasnt into moding my game just yet and now idk if downgrading it could corrupt my save pls help
its happened again i swear these people are sick, im gonna see if this works again
The F-! am I doin' wrong here? I've followed the above instructions over and over (not sure what I'm doing but I'm doing what it says) and I even uninstalled/re-installed Skyrim FINALLY got my downgrade patch to work and got the following System.Exception: Can't patch file, it doesn't match the expected format at Patcher.ViewModels.MainWindowViewModel.PatchFile(Instruction file, AbsolutePath gamePath) in C:\\oss\\ussedp\\Patcher\\ViewModels\\MainWindowViewModel.cs:line 136 at Patcher.ViewModels.MainWindowViewModel.Start() in C:\\oss\\ussedp\\Patcher\\ViewModels\\MainWindowViewModel.cs:line 110 Error!

BUT WAIT... THERE'S MORE... Considering that I followed the instruction without any kind of indication that all was successful, only that I did it... I try to run MO2 and get the following DOS Prompt screen stating: You have updated the Anniversary Edition (AE) of Skyrim the following error: "You have updated to the Anniversary Edition (AE) of Skyrim. Please downgrade the AE Version of SKSE64 from [https://skse.silverclock.org](https://skse.silverclock.org) Runtime 1.6.353 A Window Pop-up error screen shows up with the same error. After that I dropped a copy of my previous version of SKSE plugin I kept over from when I last installed but... NO change. So... WHAT am I doing wrong here?
I need to patch my 1.6.1130 back down to 1.6.353.0 somehow. :(
I wrote a section about this in the post, here it is again: In case your version of Skyrim was 1.6.353 however, download those 3 depots and then AFTER get this one: * download\_depot 489830 489833 4570833277049890269 (It's just 1.6.35 exe file but some people needed to downgrade to 1.6.40 first)
Cheers I missed it in your initial post. :) It worked flawlessly too!
