Alright, this is going to be a bit of a link dump, but these will tell you everything you need to know about the AE update for Skyrim Special Edition on Thursday.

First of all, let's get the really important info out of the way, with the FAQ:

Elder Scrolls | The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition FAQ

We’ve got more details on Skyrim’s upcoming Anniversary Edition.

What is the price of the Skyrim Anniversary Edition and the Anniversary Upgrade?

• The MSRP for the Skyrim Anniversary Edition on digital storefronts will be USD $49.99/EUR €54.99/GBP £47.99/AUD $79.95/RUB 3399 at launch.

And here's the articles to see some information on the new content. FWIW, Bethesda have said there are two Creations still not yet revealed.

There you go.

Also, if you have heard any speak of rumours of mods breaking, I have this information from SarthesArai, the modder behind such mods as ESO and Legends Imports:

Most mods will work fine with the update, only SKSE and dependent mods will stop working
SKSE-dependent mods without a custom .dll will continue to work once SKSE is updated, which "shouldn't take too long" according to Cartogriffi

This was posted earlier today on the Official Bethesda Discord by him. The Cartogriffi he refers to is one of Bethesda's CM's. It is far from a case of "all mods are about to break", for those who might have heard such.

EDIT: Also, the upgrade will include all Creations already available, as well as all the alternative armours which are not featured in the links above.

Will I be able to load in my previous saves?

Will I be able to load in my previous saves?

Yes. It's literally the same game as SSE, so all your saves won't even need to be moved anywhere.

Just think of AE as a Creation Club bundle, as that is what it is.

Very tempting 🌶

Having played it for the last few days, the new stuff is alright.

There's a couple dumb bugs, such as Ash Spawn potentially attacking anywhere. But the only reason there hasn't been a patch for this yet is that it's been a weekend. There's supposed to be a new patch tomorrow so we'll see if this and other bugs gets fixed.

Also, SKSE already has a preliminary build for AE out, so hopefully that should be out with a full-release build in a reasonable time.

I am a latecomer to the Skyrim universe. I started off playing the SE version then upgraded to the AE version and now only play in the survival mode. The beginning interests me most, playing very cautiously and trying my best not to get killed with limited health and low power weapons. Having a companion and also using the Undying Ghost conjugation spell helps a lot! On a recent playthrough I managed for the first time to complete the main quest without a single death.
