The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition — The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition - Update 1.7.99

Today's update to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition increases console mod storage limits and brings more Creations improvements and fixes.

Added and Updated Features

Game

• Increased mod storage to 15 GB for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox.

**Due to differences in platform storage systems, PlayStation 4 Creation storage is changed in the following ways: **Creations storage expanded to approximately 16 GB, but download size may not match space used because of technical details of the PlayStation 4 console hardware; This may cause download size vs. installed size discrepancies. Storage usage may appear larger than expected when managing Creations; Due to the storage system partitions, PS4 users may experience a practical limit on the number of large Creations installed at once.

• Added localized strings fixes for UI and platform terminology.

• A Creation’s Details page now includes instructions on how to report abusive or problematic mods.

• Added bundling of Creations in the Skyrim Creations Menu to bring it to parity with Fallout and Starfield.

• Changed storefront UI to support Creations box art at 3640 x 900 and 900 x 506 to be consistent with Starfield and Fallout 4. Older image sizes will still be supported and do not require immediate resubmission.

• Added support to sort Creation categories by "Most Popular".

• Creations flagged as WIP can now be viewed when bookmarked.

Creation Kit

• Added Localization export support.

• Updated "Search and Replace" to align with Starfield, adding buttons for "Select Form in Object Window" and "Open Form Editor".

• Creation Kit will now allow multiple master loads by default. This can be configured as normal.

• Skyrim Creations released through the Verified Creators program will have the option to be Achievement-Friendly (Xbox) and Trophy-Friendly (PlayStation). This means that certain Creations will no longer block achievements, but it requires starting a new game for this functionality to work on updated Creations.

• Bink files can now be added to Creation uploads via an Extra Files browser.

• Expanding beyond scripts, archives are now supported on PlayStation. New file types are available (.nif, .dds, .bink, .wav, and .fuz (with embedded .wav)) for PlayStation Creations.
