PC Players who own the full game (i.e. base game and all DLC or the Legendary Edition) will get a free copy of the Special Edition on their Steam account on release, yes. The thing above is regarding the console version, by the looks of it.

In theory most mods that don't use SKSE will work properly. However I have also heard that they will need to be converted to the new engine, as it is a 64 Bit VS 32 Bit. The new Creation Kit is rumoured to be coming out before the game to ease conversions, but that makes little sense. How would you test? You would need the game files to use the kit. Considering the quote was from Hines I am curious what his proposal is. Perhaps popular Mod Authors will get a Beta..

Here's hoping the 32 to 64 bit conversion is nothing like converting Windows 32 to 64. AKA, similar to giving birth to a buffalo: it takes half a forever, involves incredible amounts of bellowing and screaming, and you end up with a wet fuzzy bloody lump unable to stand on it's own feet at first then staggers about aimlessly for days, bawling for it's mother.

The game itself is 64 Bit, it's only the mods that have to be converted. I suspect they will convert quite fast. Most mods are really small. I am curious how large the new version of Skyrim will be. No word so far.
Edit: However as a point of reference, Fallout 4 is roughly twice the size of Skyrim...

It would seem the wisest choice will be to get the new version as a separate install to the current game and wait till the STEP comes out for it. One has to consider how many times we all have created new avatars to test new mods and then the dreaded corruption caused reinstall of the base game due to fails in those tests. My current load order is heavily modified from my previous choices with many new updates. This has required 5 restarts after testing and modifying the mods for compatibility. I really can't see not playing Skyrim with all the incredible creative modders making the game fun and interesting.
Here hoping it's a stable base to end some of our suffering. lol

It's supposed to be a separate standalone version according to what's been announced so far, so it shouldn't overwrite your existing 32 bit install. The main worry for most people regarding mods is will the things a lot of mods require be converted to 64 bit? ie. things like SKSE, FNIS etc. Another point is quite a few mod makers seem reluctant to say whether or not they'll convert their mods to 64 bit, some have retired from mod making, some have moved on to other games and some just aren't interested. |

Nearly buttnaked, do you take this new Skyrim, to have and behold, to loathe and to radish, to force you to undertake endless expensive computer upgrades unto the end of your hard drive's days... (22 seconds after your warranty expires)? |

btog46 , well Vilja will be converted and tested... My system will have little problem with a 64 Bit version of Skyrim Sniffles... At any rate it will be much more stable than the Original Skyrim, the engine is MUCH better. The Kit is MUCH better... IF they use the same one as Fallout 4 is using, and I suspect they are. Edit: Yes it is a completely separate game... You will have two versions in the end. You CAN however transfer your saves to the new game.

I think one reason why some mod makers are hanging back on converting their mods to 64 bit is that old elephant in the room 'paid mods' lurking in the shadows if they upload to Bethnet.
Hopefully they might get over their paranoia about the possibility of Beth charging for mods eventually as most of them don't seem to have any problems asking for donations on Nexus.
Speaking purely for myself, if Emma had decided to release Vilja as an exclusive paid for DLC from here I'd have had no hesitation in buying it.

I believe the SKSE team have said they'll be making a SE version of SKSE although at present they're not sure how long it'll take, obviously, as without the game files it's probably hard to know exactly how much work it'll be. I'd guess the biggest holdup for other mods will be SKSE and SkyUI, because a lot of mods require one or both, if only for MCM options. This is, of course, where the Vilja team's insistence on avoiding dependencies will shine  |

The conversion of SKSE will take weeks at best, likely months.

Well it's 10 days till Skyrim special Edition is releasing and I thought I'd ask.
How will Vilja work in in SSE. Seems I saw some info a while back but got of tired looking for a post so decided to just ask.
I mean how can we live without our best friend in Tamriel with us?
Ok who ever is dropping chocolate in my keyboard STOP IT. Gums up the keys and is terrible wasteful.
