FAQ
Everything about the Skyrim Anniversary Edition
Creation Club content is missing from the game
Normally the procedure should be as simple as possible for you: You buy the Anniversary Edition – either at full price or as an upgrade, install the game including the new mods and you’re good to go. But even though the game shows you that all content has been downloaded, it does not appear in the game.
Above all the lack of survival mode is currently causing annoyance as many players were looking forward to reliving the familiar adventure in a new, harder way. But not that: the mods are nowhere to be seen and there are no ads in the game either.
Technical problems: Some players also complain that their screen simply remains black after installation or that they cannot load their savegame. So if you want to be sure that your> 100-hour score is not damaged, you should be careful! Frame rate issues are also reported.
That is the current situation
11:00 o’clock: We have now at Bethesda asked for a statement and of course we will inform you immediately when it comes to us. In the meantime, the situation is worsening despite the actually optimistic tweet from Bethesda Support. In the answers, many players report that they can no longer load their saved games. Logging in with the Bethesda account is also not possible, the connection is simply broken off.

The mod list also remains orphaned. So it’s unclear whether the paid DLCs are really active or there are other technical issues that Bethesda needs to fix. There is currently no solution. However, we always keep an eye on the situation for you and inform you about approaches after we have verified them.
