However, if you ran Skyrim with mods, there is a very strong likelihood that the saves will not work. Here's how you can do it too.Īs we noted last week, the Skyrim Special Edition will load up Skyrim saves, via the simple act of copying the files from My Documents - My Games - Skyrim - Saves to My Documents - My Games - Skyrim Special Edition - Saves. It has been a long and tiresome job, but I have achieved it.
But, for reasons that are part bloody-mindedness and part wincing at the prospect of having to redo so much armour crafting from the start, I have been absolutely determined to get my old saves and characters working in last week's The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition. I cannot in good conscience pretend to recall what my motivations were the last time I played it - what quests I cared about, what guild or weapon or house I was pursuing. My most recent Skyrim save is three years old.
