As of today, what is the best gameplay experience for a overmodded Skyrim run?

1) Skyrim LE
2) Skyrim SE

strawpoll.me/18058428

Proponents of LE state that superior ENB and graphics capability make for a more immersive experience, and that more mods are available.

Proponents of SE state that the game's x64 architecture allow for better stability, and the utilization of hardware allow a superior modding experience.

Which camp are you in, and why?
I'm aware Skyrim is shit, but modding it and pretending you're actually going to play it is fun

I feel like I've gotten to the point many players have, where even mods can't cover the dullness of the game anymore.
But anyways, I use LE solely for the last point: there are mods I want that do not have a SE port yet.

Which mods?

LE because fuck bethesda and their CC bullshit. Also if you don't know how to optimize your game on LE then you are a shitter.

oldrim getting btfo

Post mods i want to laugh at your shit taste

I was gonna say GDO but apparently that shit has been ported for months.

SE

you can't really "overmod" SE yet
however it's got that Fallout 4 stability, e.g the most stable modable Bethesda game to fucking date, so it's much less autistic to make not crash every 5 minutes even if you toss mods in like fucking firewood
as far as graphics go, the only thing where you could make any distinction is that yes, Oldrim ENB is still better, but it's already running on fumes and the simple reality being that SE is running on DX11, just completely does away with any doubts about which game will end up looking better in the long run, and with minimal performance impact to top it off
the 64bit is just a cherry on top, the game has obvious leg up in both RAM and VRAM usage loooong before it becomes relevant
and most great most are already ported
make of it what you will

post the waifus with fat juicy tits, faggots

Witcher 3

The One Mask, for one

LE because there are important mods that still haven't been ported.

What Oldrim's ENB have over SE's ENBs?
SE enbs have particle lightning
Also you can effectively port a ton of Oldrim mods with just a click through the CK and/or running them through Optimizer.
I have over 500 mods on SE right now and I'm not quite finished yet

No there aren't.

How do people feel about installing mods right from the menu? Is this generally seen as worse than using a mod manager?

it's unhealthy to say the least

lmso dude

Everything is worse than MO2. Everything

Imagine needing a mod manager to hold your hand and install shit for you

*makes life intentionally harder for no reason*

>votes are in favor of LE
>posts are in favor of SE

Hmmm...

i like to manually install mods, but skyrim special edition doesnt have a data files option in the main menu.

Did you even read the thread? Besides, people just vote then move on. Stop trying to justify your shit thread.

>getting this mad

LE has more ENB, HDT physics (the SE versions is discontinued as far as I know since the author dropped the project), far more content if you want loverslab mods. SE has better stability which IS a pretty big deal so it really depends on what you want. When it comes to mod availability it has more than enough, unless you want the specific things I mentioned.

You're retarded if you really think manual is best in current year.

LE voters don't even play the game. They just dress waifus up all day.

SE's worse ENB is still very good

besthesda games aren't good, you need a million mods to make it below average. That being said, LE is the way

I guess the results are pretty accurate ratio of who plays what at the moment

The lack of essential Skyrim mod compilations is distressing.

Actually it's great with all the right mods. Yes even the combat. They even fixed the 3rd person camera lately
Se is the way to play without crashing while running all these mods though.

If you aren't a potato or an idiot, you should'n't be crashing to begin with

*bottlenecks your RAM*

Nothing personal kid

SWITCH WITH BIGGER TREES MOD

SE fag here
I'm actually running the game right now and it's RAM usage currently hangs at ~1,8GB
it's pretty fucking amazing considering what I stuffed in

Do porn mods work on se?

yes

Daily reminder that Boris is an exaggerating fag. Parallax with be input into SSE ENB eventually

Ok se it is then

>*halve your GPU mem*
>*stutter*

if you have SE is there any point to getting a mod manager, and not just putting in mods from the menu

>SE zoomers BTFO already

Yes;
Follow a good guide.

Skyrim VR, which is SE at heart
Playing it right now and am having fun

> does away with any doubts about which game will end up looking better in the long run

Can you elaborate your opinion on this?

>Follow a guide
>Use MO to manage conflicts
>Use LOOT to manage load order
>Clean with TESVedit
>Merge plugins when appropriate
>CTD every 10 minutes anyway
Why the fuck do I bother?

I'm just downloading things with MO and letting it sort plugins.
I don't use loot or TESVedit or merge shit
Got about 50 mods that focus on gameplay rather than graphics so maybe that's what fucking you up

I cannot wait for Elder Scrolls 6 just for the possibility of nodding it with a much better stability

models and textures can be the same in both versions
the only difference is performance, rendering, and post-processing
DX11 BTFO's DX9 in all of those
oldrim ENB is duct taping shit from DX11 onto a DX9 game
do I REALLY have to continue?
