Do not use your original saved game if this error appears when you load it in Skyrim Special Edition: This save relies on content that is no longer present.'ĭave Talamas, Community Manager of Nexus Mods, had this to say: 'Only use original saves that have never been used with mods. We've tested this a bit, and can confirm that saved games in which you used mods for the original Skyrim don't work with Skyrim SE. Modded saved games won't work at all with Skyrim SE This is only for unmodded saved games, though, and here comes the bad news. So, you'll be able to pick up in the Special Edition right where you left off in the original. Simply copy your old saves from My Games/Skyrim to My Games/Skyrim Special Edition.' 'Existing save games from the original PC game will work in the PC version of Skyrim Special Edition.
