I bought Skyrim SE a month ago, and installed the Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE) to play with certain mods, but noticed that the game gets updated and breaks my SKSE installation.
Is there any way to prevent this from happening?
How do we ensure that Skyrim SE doesn’t update so we don’t have to reinstall SKSE

Two things you can do:
Firsty, you can just launch Steam in offline mode so there's no way for anything to update
Secondly you can try this:
steam\steamapps
you'll see a bunch of .acf files, openappmanifest_489830.acf
(this is the Skyrim .acf file) in notepad (right click .acf > open with > notepad)AutoUpdateBehavior
and change it to-1
and make sureBytestoDownload
is set to0
appmanifest_489830.acf
) > properties > read-only > press OKThis should fix this issue. If not, may have to use Steam offline.
If in future you want to update the game, revert all these settings, default values for
AutoUpdateBehavior
is0
andBytesToDownload
is also0
and make sure you deselectread-only
