Very cool!  So.... Are you going to buy this?   I think you have a ridiculous amount of time in Skyrim if I remember right.    You only had it on PC / Steam, right?

I have Skyrim on Steam along with the Hearthfires , Dawnguard, and Dragonborn expansions.  I then got Skyrim: Special Edition and modded it out with about 90 active mods from Nexus mods.  At some point, I also got a PS3 version, but it did not see as much play time as the PC versions.

Current and future owners of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition on any platform including Xbox Game Pass Subscribers will receive access to three free pieces of Creation Club content: Fishing, Survival Mode and even new quests with Saints and Seducers. Additionally, Skyrim Special Edition owners on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S, as well as Xbox Game Pass subscribers on Xbox Series X|S will receive a free upgrade to an enhanced version on November 11 for their respective PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S systems!

We're also excited to announce the most definitive version of Skyrim to date: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition. The Anniversary Edition includes Skyrim Special Edition and 74 creations, all 48 currently available and 26 to be released. These showcase over 500+ individual elements such as quests, items, armor, houses, etc.

So as a prior SE owner, I get some of the content automatically.  I guess that I am waiting to see what is and is not included.

So, I am back to spending time in Skyrim.  The Anniversary Edition is essentially a bunch of creation club content that is already available in the Special Edition.  The Creation Club is basically the Bethesda-endorsed way to install mods.  I already have a ton of mods for extra armors, but the fishing mod (already added for SE owners) is a really nice touch.

After downloading the included Creation Club content for adding armor to war horses, I found the choices of steel and elven armor a bit boring.  I went back to Nexus and got some more horse armor mods, so now have Frost decked out in leather armor and Shadowmere sporting Daedric.

So, Core i7, 16 GB DDR3, and an RTX 2060 and I am running... uh.. 146 active mods outside of the expansion, SE, and AE content.

I had to share this video.
