No need for it to be separated like it is on the consoles. The 'next gen' update, if it includes features for the PC version as well, would probably be best included with the 'fishing' patch as part of the free upgrade.
It would be a matter of converting a bunch of CC patches into a single super-patch. A lot of mods will be completely unaffected while a mod like Legacy of the Dragonborn will likely require an extensive patch due to all the duplicate item content. If that's true then how it affects mods will depend on the mod itself. The 'Anniversary Update' might just be a content DLC (with any necessary executable changes included in the 'fishing' update patch). How difficult that might be to create and how long it takes is unknown. The 'fishing' update will be a game executable update and will definitely require a new version of SKSE and therefore a new Address Library. However, It may have other features as well that could be included in the PC version going forward. Those options already exist in the PC version. This is for consoles and will do things like unlock the framerate and increase the resolution options. This seems like it will be an optional, purchasable update.ģ. This is a free update and will be pushed to everyone.Ģ.
The 'fishing' update and whatever else is included with that. From what I've read/seen, there seems to be three elements:ġ.
