Script extenders now install the build that matches your game. If you deliberately downgraded Skyrim or Fallout 4, Step 1 installs the SKSE or F4SE built for your exact game version instead of the newest one, read from the game's own executable.

Script extenders now appear in the Updates tab. They never did before - the mod everything else depends on was the one thing the plugin never checked. It also tells you when your game needs an older build than you have, which is the normal case after a downgrade.

And when no build exists for your game at all, it says so. Bethesda's 27 August Skyrim patch (1.7.104) is newer than any published SKSE, so mods cannot load on it yet. The plugin now tells you that plainly rather than leaving you to discover it from the game's own error box.

Mods with per-version files pick the right one. Where a mod publishes separate files per game version - Engine Fixes, Address Library and friends - the file naming your version is now the default, and the mod page says "Chosen to match your game".

Mods split across several files install whole. SSE Engine Fixes ships its plugin and its preloader as two separate downloads that install to different places; only installing the first left the game refusing to start. Both now come together, and the preloader is correctly skipped on game versions where its author retired it.

FOMOD installers stop offering coin flips. When an installer declares which option suits which game version, that option is now preselected and labelled "matches your game (1.6.1170)", with the others marked for the versions they target. Engine Fixes' wizard offered an "Anniversary Edition" and a "Special Edition" dll as equal choices, and picking the wrong one killed the game at launch.

Also: Skyrim's ContentCatalog repair now runs when the game panel opens rather than only from the Health page, and Baldur's Gate 3 joins the requested games list.
