Players and content creators have come and go. Of course, as extrwi pointed out, the worst thing about this change is the fact that not a few mods have been abandoned by their creators at this point. They expected the mod scene to be “broken for an unknown length of time” after the Anniversary Edition release.
Unlike Special Edition and the 2011 original Skyrim release with a separate listing on Steam, Anniversary Edition will be released as a patch to existing Special Edition installations. The compiler’s inlining behavior has changed enough that literally a hundred thousand functions have disappeared and been either inlined or deadstripped, to put it in perspective. We will all need to find functions again. Code signatures and hooks will need to be rewritten. Plugins using the Address Library will need to be divided in to “pre- AE” and “post- AE” eras. Some games have worked around this limitation by building the code that interacts with Xbox Live in to a secondary DLL that is dynamically loaded by the game, but they didn’t choose this option. I didn’t ask specifically, but the most probable reason for this is that the Xbox Live libraries used for achievements on the Windows Store are only available for 2017 and later. Class layouts are unlikely to change, luckily. This changes the way that the code is generated in a way that forces mod developers to start from scratch finding functions and writing hooks.
The reason for this is that as part of the update, Bethesda has decided to update the compiler used to build the 64-bit version of Skyrim from Visual Studio 2015 to Visual Studio 2019. dll files) would break because Anniversary Edition is changing the compiler to Visual Studio 2019 instead of the 2015 version used in Special Edition.

One of the developers of SKSE (Skyrim Script Extender) modding tool extrwi reported on Reddit that the upcoming Skyrim: Anniversary Edition rerelease for PC will be “disruptive” to the game’s modding scene. However, stuff seems to be changing soon. The Elder Scrolls titles, especially Skyrim, are the game to play when you want to experiment with mods.
