SkyUI Not In The Works for Skyrim Special Edition

The developer behind SkyUI has made clear that he and his team are no longer active nor interested in porting their mod for the new Skyrim Special Edition.

Considering if you have a decent PC the only real upgrade appears to be the god-rays (everything else they did was already done, and way, way more, by modders) it makes sense. Not worth dealing with getting everything re-installed just for that.

Actually, the major improvement is 64 bit, which makes modded games more stable by allowing the use of more than 4GB of RAM (modded games reaching the RAM limit is responsible for most crashes).

So the major benefit is modding. Most mods require SkyUI. Hence, this news is awful.

The only solution is for someone else to somehow take the mod forward, or for a new SkyUI alternative to be created.

I have no doubt at all that another modder will pick this up and update it for the SE. Same goes for any of the 'essential' Skyrim mods - they'll all show up for PC sooner or later.

I have 128 mods installed and still haven't hit the 4gb limit. I don't know wtf you'd have to do to hit it, but I'm suspecting the answer is "nothing smart or necessary."

It's if you have lots of script-based mods. Papyrus stores information on the RAM, and when it goes over the 4GB limit ENBoost gives you, the game crashes.

Mods like Frostfall, iNeed, Civil War Overhaul etc. Also many quests.

64 bit should in theory allow more complex scripted mods.

Can we just get CBBE?

You can use the existing cbbe and it will still work for Skyrim SE. It's in my load order right now.
