Additional Languages Instructions:
If you are looking to change the default game language, and you have not modified your 'Skyrim_Default.ini' file, it is as simple as right-clicking the Skyrim game in your Steam games list, selecting 'Properties…', and changing the 'Language' dropdown in the 'General' tab to the language of your choice. This will automatically download the language pack and .ini file which instructs the game to use it, and you are done.
NOTE: 'appmanifest_489830.acf' file must not be set to read-only (which is typically done during a "downgrade" process as well as shown in this video). You will have to first unlock this file before selecting a language. You will want to re-lock it by setting it to read-only again after download. This process will not perform a full verification of file integrity (so it will not break the downgraded Skyrim install), it will simply download the language pack and .ini file.

Was just about to finalize my Load Order when somehow after a crash my DLC.esm files vanished causing all of my mods to lose masters meaning I had to validate my game files......Unfortunately that meant my game was forcefully updated breaking all my hard work... I tried to use me .EXE backup but the game would no longer launch......I was at a loss....So glad this tutorial exists!!!! Also A suggestion for anyone in the future once you have a clean downgraded install CLEAN all of your DLC and CC content (use CC content picker to turn it into a separate file) then Create a Copy of all of your Skyrim files on another drive so you never have to do this again (just drag and drop the copy)
@circuitscore 3 ай бұрын
Glad it worked! I know how you feel. I have messed up plenty of Mod loads in my day where Ive had to start from scratch. Not a great feeling! I should have mentioned the CC Content Picker in this video. If I ever do an update to this video I will add that detail. Also good idea creating a backup copy of the Skyrim files to another location. I do the same thing now just in case.
@Cwronaga216 3 ай бұрын
@@circuitscore make sure the copy you create is after you've cleaned it so that you never have to clean those files ever again. Also it wouldn't hurt to pre-install Skyrim script extender and the latest e&b binaries into that copy so that you have a game ready for modding cleaned and preset up off the bat every time you start over

Are there any other methods aside from using the steam depot console? I have let it sit over 5 hours yesterday with no progress. I have pretty bad/slow internet all things considered, so I highly prefer a progress bar or anything that tells me where it is at or if the download has failed. Thanks! ^^
@circuitscore 14 күн бұрын
Hey there. Unfortunately if you are on the latest version 1.6.1170 the only method I know of is to use the depot downgrade. It will take awhile because its essentially re downloading the entire game. If you are on version 1.6.1130 there are downgrade patchers available on Nexus that modify the files in order to downgrade. I believe this method requires less internet however I have not tried it myself so not 100% confirmed. Unfortunately with steam updating automatically on launch most people are on 1.6.1170. www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/57618?tab=description

Hi there. Glad it worked. Also I did an extensive search and found additional instructions to download the language pack. I added it to the description and will add it here as well. I have not tried this method yet so would be worth backing up your skyrim installation. Additional Instructions: If you are looking to change the default game language, and you have not modified your 'Skyrim_Default.ini' file, it is as simple as right-clicking the Skyrim game in your Steam games list, selecting 'Properties…', and changing the 'Language' dropdown in the 'General' tab to the language of your choice. This will automatically download the language pack and .ini file which instructs the game to use it, and you are done. NOTE: 'appmanifest_489830.acf' file must not be set to read-only (which is typically done during a "downgrade" process as well as shown in this video). You will have to first unlock this file before selecting a language. You will want to re-lock it by setting it to read-only again after download. This process will not perform a full verification of file integrity (so it will not break the downgraded Skyrim install), it will simply download the language pack and .ini file.

You can decided which version you want to run. The two most popular versions are 1.6.640 (works natively with legendary content) works with most 3rd party mods. The other version is 1.5.97 which is pre legendary edition that works with almost all mods but you will have to run best of both worlds and ESL backport support to get anniversary content to work.

I have not personally tried this method however it sounds like the game is looking for ESM files that are not present. Try using the Anniversary Edition Content Picker as well as Backported Extended ESL Support. The Anniversary Content Picker will allow you to consolidate the added files from the Anniversary edition and you can decide if you want them turned on or off.

Hey, does this process imitate the "BestOfBothWorlds" version that the Downgrade Patcher has? More importantly, can i use mods of any version with your method? EDIT: Nevermind, i just realized that I can backport it to 11640 and use the Downgrade Patcher successfully to downgrade to 1157. Thank you sir
@circuitscore 2 ай бұрын
No problem! Its a different in the fact that in this tutorial we are just downloading the specific files for each version and replacing them. The downgrade patcher modifies existing files to spoof the game into being a lower version. Both methods work perfectly fine and can also be use in tandem with each other depending on what you are trying to achieve.
@ganyuwangsaff4781 3 ай бұрын
can we actually download the depot file with idm instead? or shared from another computers?
@circuitscore 3 ай бұрын
I don't think you can use IDM only in the Steam Console. Reason being is it needs to verify that you own a copy of it through Steam. Luckily though Steams servers are crazy fast. If you had the original files from another computer and owned it through Steam it should still launch. Ive copied the files to a new drive on my computer and it still launched just fine without Steam.

erase everything in main folder, unistall the game, install, then downgrade (sorry man) Before that, backup your save files. After that. never start on steam again

Make sure to wait for all depot files to download. It can take awhile. You will get a confirmation in steam console once the download is complete. Try to replace all files from each depot folder again. If none of that works backup your save reinstall the lastest update in steam and try to replace the files again. Additionally make sure you are using the correct SKSE64 for your version.

Ok dumb quest, but i don't think 1.6.1130+ will work for 1.5.97 will it? Arthmoor hide all of the previous USSEP patch files. I have 403 mods not all have updated so why im still on that. Game runs fine but i know you can play for hours, then bam just crashes. So im just curious here. Your method does work tho done it for fallout aswell.

No worries! Yeah luckily for us Nexus archives all links to old versions of mods even if mod authors try to hide old versions. The link in the description is a direct link for the USSEP for each version. Happy modding!

Should we back up our depots on a flash drive for future use in case we suddenly get a new PC or something like that just to be safe? So it can make it easier so we won't have to download it all the time? Or not recommended? Also good idea to turn automatic updates to "Only Update This Game when I Launch it" It SHOULD keep the game from FORCING Skyrim SE to AE. Hope this helps. Something I learned from another video when Fallout 4 pulled this BS. Mods got broken too. :(
@circuitscore 2 ай бұрын
Its not a bad idea to backup those depot files just in case there is ever a day that Steam does not allow us to access the old files. You could also backup the game directory files itself after you downgrade. Good idea though! Might as well do both change the appmanifest files to read only and also "Only Update This Game when I Launch it"

Sometimes the depot commands will fail and you need to retry it a day later. Also make sure you have enough space on your PC. Even if it seems like you have plenty others have said clearing space on their PC helps allow the depot command to execute for whatever reason.

I noticed you did not install the SKSE for the specific version of the downgrade. Isn't that necessary? Edit. can't get past the 'Play' Game Menu, Skyrim does not start the game
@circuitscore Ай бұрын
SKSE is necessary for certain mods. Fallout has a more strict Steam DRM where it wont let you launch the game from the official exe file without updating the game. Where as Skyrim doesn't have much for DRM so it doesn't matter. Make sure all of the depot files are fully downloaded before replacing them. I didn't show it in the video to keep it short but one of the commands took a little while to download.

Ok, i have a Similar issue, but not the Same entirely. You see, my PC doesn't have Internet, it's a fairly old PC, but can handle mods well, Only updates i am able to have, are ones that i can find on the Internet via my Phone. So do you perhaps know where i can find updates for Legendary Edition of Skyrim? I would really appreciate it! I want to update the game from Base tho, so i also don't know if I'll need every Update Before 1.9.32.0 or if I'll JUST Need 1.9.32.0 Either way, i would appreciate it if someone can help me to a site where i can download the Update files maybe.. Thanks!
@circuitscore 2 ай бұрын
Sounds like you are trying to update a non Special Edition version of the game aka the Original version of Skyrim. I unfortunately only have depot commands for the special edition of the game. By the way you would still need internet even if I had the commands. All this process is doing is re downloading older version of the game and replacing the files. Same if you found version 1.9.32 on the internet you would still need internet to update your game.
