I have found an alternate method that may be a little easier for some people.
This example will show how to get the last version of USSEP intended for Skyrim Special Edition version 1.6.659
• Open NexusMods to the mod page (
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ?tab=files )
• Log in to NexusMods if you aren't already logged in.
• Copy the URL at the top of your browser, then leave the NexusMods tab open until you finish downloading so as to avoid potential permission issues later.
• Open Wayback Machine (
https://web.archive.org/ )
• Paste the URL you copied into Wayback Machine.
The example we are using is
Code: Select all
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/266?tab=files
• Navigate to the date you want the snapshot from and click it to enter it.
For the example, we see:
4.2.9a is the one we want, so that's good.
•
RIGHT click the MANUAL DOWNLOAD button and select "copy clean link" from the menu
• Paste it into your browser's URL entry field, but do not press enter/return to go there yet.
• Using your mouse, select the section from the beginning of the first, leftmost HTTPS to the beginning of the second one. It will contain "web.archive.org".
It will be the section "
https://web.archive.org/web/20230803010922/" in our example above.
• While the Wayback Machine section of the URL is selected, press the delete key, then the enter/return key. It will take you to the normal NexusMods download page for the file you want, ignoring all restrictions.
Check again that the file you wish to download is the one shown on the current page. In our example, it is.
• Use slow or fast, as your account allows.
• Just for fun, say "Thanks for the patch, but fuck you Arthmoor, you control freak asshole."
• You can close all the open NexusMods tabs now.
