The problem with mods can be solved by yourself

Problems with mods in Anniversary Edition stem from the fact that this version is not available as a separate production. It only replaced the old Special Edition through an update. Fortunately, one fan has developed a project to roll back the game to a version that all modifications work with. It is available in two variants:

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition was released on November 11 this year on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
