Code signatures and hooks will need to be rewritten. Plugins using the Address Library will need to be divided in to “pre-AE” and “post-AE” eras. Some games have worked around this limitation by building the code that interacts with Xbox Live in to a secondary DLL that is dynamically loaded by the game, but they didn’t choose this option. I didn’t ask specifically, but the most probable reason for this is that the Xbox Live libraries used for achievements on the Windows Store are only available for 2017 and later. Class layouts are unlikely to change, luckily.
This changes the way that the code is generated in a way that forces mod developers to start from scratch finding functions and writing hooks. The reason for this is that as part of the AE update, Bethesda has decided to update the compiler used to build the 64-bit version of Skyrim from Visual Studio 2015 to Visual Studio 2019. Back up your executable now, and disable updates in Steam. “The upcoming Anniversary Edition of Skyrim is going to be much more disruptive to the modding scene than is commonly believed. However, rather than releasing the game as its own version on Steam, the Anniversary Edition will be available as an update to the existing entry, and this is a cause for concern in the modding community. The Skyrim Anniversary Edition release will include the Special Edition version of the game, along with all mods available in the Creation Club, and more yet to be announced. The issue lies in the Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE) plugin, something the best mods use for Skyrim, and whenever the Bethesda Creation Club receives a new update of content, the SKSE can break. The legendary Skyrim modding community is facing potential downfall with the upcoming Skyrim Anniversary Edition, a game that will use incompatible code, and in a detailed Reddit thread, a mod developer laid out all the facts, and warned fellow developers “scary things incoming if you use SKSE plugins.”
