The SkyUI team got burned terribly during the paid mod fiasco which is probably the main reason they don't want to do it anymore. It was a lighting rod of what was wrong with Beth/Steam paid mod.

• Skyui Skyrim Special Edition 2019

With the release of Skyrim Special Edition back in October of last year, most mods became incompatible with the new 64-bit version of Bethesda’s open world RPG. I’m sure many mourned the loss of their Macho Man Randy Savage dragons, their reskinned mudcrabs with top hats and monocles or the ability to run around Whiterun wearing Master Chief’s armour while wielding a lightsaber.

Queue up some great Skyrim mods for when SKSE gets its update.

The most grave of these casualties was the loss of Skyrim Script Extender, which is vital to running many useful Skyrim mods as it increases the amount of commands that Skyrim can handle and manage.

One of these such mods was SkyUI. This mod not only vastly improves Skyrim’s menu system, but it provides players with the ability to easily customise and toggle mods on and off. While mods do work without SkyUI, some features may not work in game and it is harder to change what mods you have active while playing.

Seeing as SKSE was vital for a large number of mods, the team are planning to release an update sometime in mid-March, allowing SKSE to work with Skyrim Special Edition. Based on a developer update back in late December that you can watch above, progress is coming along well but it won’t be until March before a compatible version of SKSE will be available. Even then, the SKSE release in March will be for a beta version, with a completed Script Extender to be ready some time after that.

Skyui Skyrim Special Edition 2019

Once finished and SkyUI is back up and running with this new version of SKSE, expect an explosion of mods both old and new on Nexus Mods and Steam Workshop. A current build of SKSE is available on their official website, but it will only work with the 32-bit version of Skyrim.

Thanks, MCV UK.

So, I'm in a bit of an odd spot here. I don't have the Special Edition. Nor do I have any of the DLC. I have just the original base game, which I have picked up again for the first time since the DLC came out. Checking Steam, the Special Edition costs just as much as the DLC for the base game, which you'd think would make it superior. However, shiny graphics are no match for a shiny UI, and I understand that Sky UI is not available for the Special Edition, am I correct?
I know very little about the Skyrim modding community, and I'm not currently all that interested in it. Right now, all I'm using is Sky UI and Acquisitive Soul Gems (otherwise, my Bound Bow would be shoving petty souls into Grand Soul gems, without careful management). I just want my nicer menus.

Is it really the case that there is no nicer menu mod for the Special Edition? Am I really going to have to make a choice between better graphics and better UI? At this point, I'm somewhat tempted to not get the DLC at all, and maybe only enjoy it only on the Nintendo Switch (because hey, it's portable at that point, I can deal with limited UI). I'm particularly bothered, because right now, the Special Edition is 25% off on Steam, and it's actually cheaper than just buying the base game DLC.
