Following the release, the modding scene split into two primary camps: skyrim skse 1.6.640

This fragmentation lasted several months. Many popular plugins (such as SkyUI, Racemenu, and various MCM mods) were initially broken. Users attempting to run old plugins on the new SKSE 1.6.640 would encounter "plugin version mismatch" errors. Author: [Generated AI Assistant] Date: October 26, 2023

Unlike earlier SE versions where offsets were hardcoded, SKSE 1.6.640 works in tandem with the Address Library for SKSE Plugins (version AE). This library maps IDA-style signatures to actual memory addresses, allowing a single plugin compiled for 1.6.640 to work across minor AE updates (e.g., 1.6.640 → 1.6.659) without recompilation—provided the vtable layout remains unchanged. This fragmentation lasted several months

Versions after 1.6.640 introduced more aggressive Steam-integrated Creations Club updates, which added unwanted "mods" to your load order. Staying on 1.6.640 allows you to use the Downgrade Patcher to remove the Creations menu bloat while keeping AE content.
