Skyrim Special Edition

# Description

Probably the largest collection regarding essential fixes that don't require SKSE, so it works for both AE and SE.
If you're looking for essential mods with SKSE please check one of my other essentials collections:

- [(SE) SKSE and Behaviours Essentials](https://next.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/collections/tokqpx) (For 1.5.97 Downgraded Game Version)
- [SKSE and Behaviours Essentials](https://next.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/collections/h2uqa3) (For 1.6.640 Game Version)

If you're just looking to play the full vanilla game with fixes this is the collection for it, or if you want to build a more stable load order. This collection is frequently updated and it'll download the latest version of required mods.

***

## What are the optional mods?

The mods that are optional are not bug fixes but are essential mods I can't imagine playing without, so check if it is for your taste.

***

## Requirements

- Skyrim Special Edition updated (Anniversary Edition or Downgraded 1.5.97 Edition)

***

## Compatibility and patching

- USSEP sometimes requires patches, each case is specific and sometimes it is irrelevant.

eFPS requires patches for modded towns and etc, you can download them through its pages:

- [eFPS - Anniversary Edition](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/58727)
- [eFPS - Official Patch Hub](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/54998)

<details><summary>❕important warnings</summary>
### ❗ Every collection of mine is tested on a brand new Steam installation (downgraded to 1.6.640) before upload, so, they all absolutely work and I ensure it. All of my collections are semi-compatible with each other (except the SE and AE counterparts, of course), you can use as many as you want to build your modlist and then manually tweak them, and make your bashed patch. If you have any questions or uncertainties, feel free to contact me on Discord or here on Nexus.

### ❗ If you intend to use several of my collections, please, test one at a time, and for now, if you are a noob at modding, try not to install all of them, think of a character and make a modlist around him/her/they/it.

### ❗If you're going to install several collections, you will come across FOMOD Installer options, please, look at the options carefully, and ALWAYS pay attention to individual mod installation instructions I provide with the collection installation, I'll suggest patches and required options for you to select.

Bug Fixes & Optimization (Non-SKSE)

Only bug fixes and optimization mods that don't require SKSE, nor SkyUI, so, it is completely version-independent, working on both AE and SE downgraded best of both worlds. It only contains meshes, textures and plugins, practically impossible not to work.
