[ANNOUNCEMENT] Moving to SSE in 2025 (Patreon)
Content
My dear fellow gamers,
As the title of this post indicates, I will finally stop offering support for 32-bit Skyrim. The last single mod I will personally release for this version will be in December this year.
A few months ago I already made a poll regarding this topic and your votes were practically unanimous: The vast majority of you agree that I should focus my time and effort on continuing to release mods for Skyrim Special Edition.
Download counts have skyrocketed in SE while remaining the same for LE. Now the 64-bit version has surpassed 4.7 bn downloads, while the 32-bit version is still stuck at 1.9 bn. New frameworks keep being released for Skyrim SE as well, versus the now limited engine of Skyrim LE.
While I know that there are still people playing Skyrim, don't lose hope, as there are some users who are able to backport Special Edition mods to Legendary Edition. I will not put obstacles for those users who want to do it in an altruistic way. My mods are and will always be for everyone to enjoy.
I must confess I've been using the SE version for a while. In the last years I only used LE to test that my mods work properly so the 32-bit users can also enjoy it. But I believe the time has come to move forward. I no longer have as much free time as I used to and I need to focus my resources to continue to pursue my hobby of making mods.
I have made the decision to set the date for 2025 since as many of you may know, I am currently doing a series of NPC replacers/overhauls. I don't want to let LE users be left hanging with this project, so I have scheduled all remaining releases in this series.
I have finally closed the list of NPCs. In total there will be over 80 replacements if you count the first 3 mods I made in 2020. Several packs are also scheduled to be released, however there is no release date yet. Surely the AIO packs will be released in 2025, and will be the only exception I make for LE users due to the scale of the project.
I hope to continue to receive your wonderful feedback, which is always welcome!
