imagine if by dumb luck, since the re-releases are so violently frequent, both games converge into a state where the mods are compatible with each other
Or the games just straight up bleed into one another

On the flip side, Skyrim Anniversary edition is just special edition with creation club content included, so there’s some hope mods won’t break.

Doesn’t literally every minor update to Skyrim break most of the mods?

Those that use the script extended are at greater risk of breaking, but most mods made only with the creation kit should work without issue.

Yeah. Its one of those things that increasingly annoy me.
People (rightfully) shit on Bethesda for never fixing known bugs. They ALSO shit on Bethesda because any patch potentially breaks mods that use unofficial tools.
I understand that the majority of people online aren’t developers (or are hobbyist/student at best) but… that is development. I actively dread when a major MR is pulled in because that means my merge conflicts are going to be hell. MOST of them are just eyeballing the changed file and saying “that looks right” but there will inevitably be a changed interface that involves very extensive tweaking before I can even think about running my test suite again to find the rest.
But for major forks? There is a reason that so many of them end up using a somewhat dangerously outdated base. Okay, part of that is the nature of a fork and WHY it forked. But it is also because pulling upsteram changes is a REALLY big undertaking.
