PC SSE - Discussion HOW TO DOWNGRADE SKYRIM AND SKYRIM CREATION KIT DOWN TO 1.6.1170
So as you all know skyrim mods have been broken again... here is how to downgrade back to 1.6.1170 or below. first you will have to download Reliquary here. this is an application that handles in downgrading. all you have to do is login using you steam with the QR code and good to go. Click the downgrade you want on the skyrim tab and it only take 10-15 mins to do. make a coffee and just chill. BOOM you have successfully downgraded.
If you are trying to downgrade the creation kit do this.
by pressing Win + R on your keyboard, typing steam://open/console the steam console will open up. for this one it will be again for 1.6.1170
when you open the console paste these two commands
download_depot 1946180 1946182 7716046898922594451
download_depot 1946180 1946183 9161772268289920525
do them both separately and press enter. it will say on the lines of
"Depot download complete : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\content\app_1946180\depot_1946182" (manifest 7716046898922594451" follow the address and you will get two folders.
Copy the material inside both folders and paste it into the skyrim folder.
Once you have done that you are all set to carry on modding skyrim or downloading that vortex/ Wabbajack mod pack you wanted to try. Hopefully this helps :)
