Is it just content or are the texture's etc getting a boost ?
I think mods will still handle that. They're not going do too much themselves, they need to finish ESVI.

I'm happy with what I have (86.2GB of installed mods) though.

So I don't need to buy anything for this new version? I just stick my Special Edition copy into my Series X and it should just allow me to download the new version when it's out? Could do with another run through Skyrim again.

No it’s a bit confusing … I think..

If you already have the Special Edition you get a bit of new content.

You will need to buy the new version to get all the content and bells and whistles.

Not sure if the older version will get the graphical updates.

It’s very confusing, either way it should be on Xbox games pass shouldn’t it? Don’t think I’ve seen a mention of it being on there.

Upgrade purchased cost 15 quid. Looks like hardly any graphical improvements though which is a shame.

I purchased the upgrade on Xbox for 15 graphically its lots better than it was on the 360 load times are much much better too.
Loads of graphical anomalies when panning though makes me feel a little I'll

Lots of new bits though that I have never had when I played it last like backpacks and bone wolves and moonstone ore I'm only level 10 just got to falkreath with 2 words learned I'm gonna hold off starting on the main quest for as long as possible again out of the intro just turn left smile

Did you have the special edition on Series X or PX ? I did look but the graphics seemed exactly the same as the SE. I’m playing on Series X

No well yes but no havent had the se version I thought I had [I do twice on pc] but seems not as I got the achievement when I finished intro

I had run the previous one with mods but a few years ago now and I'm sure it looked better still I'm only running it on a one X though

I've started another play-through using survival mode. It's certainly making it more interesting. I'm trying not to mod it as want the vanilla experience for the first time since I "completed it" when it was launched. No fast travel is the thing that I think will get a little dull but is also causing me to play so differently. So far I think it's a decent little package to recognise a decade of the game

Trying and failing to get the Khajit to appear at Whiterun to start Saints & Seducers.
I even rode from Markharth to the city to try to find them. To no avail. frown

On pc you can use the T key to wait for a set amount of time.
That's how I got them to appear.

Thanks. I'm on Xbox Series X. You can advance time too. However nothing.

Where exactly near the stables did they appear? I've met them on the road between it and the windmill in the past. But, nothing yet.

Not tried it, but is it an experience levelled quest? So will only trigger after you have levelled up enough.

I don't think so. I'm level 49. I assume that's plenty high enough. I'm going to ride from Windhelm to Markarth. See if I can track the sod down. hehe

I now have the dreaded "black screen" bug. I've done everything suggested to fix it. But, nothing works so far.

Far Cry 6 it is then.....

Does anyone know how I get my old PS4 special edition to be upgraded to the PS5 super duper one? (I see it in the store for £35 mind)
