Here's how you can do it too.Īs we noted last week, the Skyrim Special Edition will load up Skyrim saves, via the simple act of copying the files from My Documents - My Games - Skyrim - Saves to My Documents - My Games - Skyrim Special Edition - Saves. It has been a long and tiresome job, but I have achieved it.
But, for reasons that are part bloody-mindedness and part wincing at the prospect of having to redo so much armour crafting from the start, I have been absolutely determined to get my old saves and characters working in last week's The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition. I cannot in good conscience pretend to recall what my motivations were the last time I played it - what quests I cared about, what guild or weapon or house I was pursuing.
My most recent Skyrim save is three years old.
