Race Menu is another popular mod dependent on SKSE. The SKSE dev team has already announced they are planning to work on a new version as soon as Skyrim AE releases and they learn what changes are needed to be made.

The popular Sky UI mod will have to wait for the updated SKSE. Will history repeat itself or do you have nothing to worry about? Let's see what we know. This already happened when the Special Edition replaced the old Skyrim back in 2016, making the current fears of fans justified. No matter if they are interested in Anniversary Edition content or not, many Skyrim fans who enjoy playing with mods (which is really most of them at this point), are worried about what will happen with the expansive library of Skyrim mods, in which numerous modders invested years of their work, and which now might get broken.

Skyrim owns its longevity to the thriving modding community. Skyrim: Anniversary Edition will cost you $49.99, or $19.99 if you already own Skyrim SE and purchase Skyrim AE as an update.
