Buying Skyrim Legendary Edition while already having Skyrim

Hello guys I want to buy Skyrim Legendary Edition because it will be cheaper than buying all the DLCs. But I already have Skyrim. What would happen if I buy Legendary Edition that including Skyrim. Will there be any problem or Steam add me only those DLC's ? [Sorry for English :D]

Best Answer

Steam considers Skyrim and Skyrim: Legendary Edition to be separate games. You won't be able to gift or trade the Skyrim base game, but you can purchase it and you'll have two Skyrim games in your Steam Library. I've done this several times for Deluxe/GOTY editions as well.

Edit: You can tell steam considers them to be separate games because they exist separately in the store. (Search for Skyrim and you'll see what I mean.)

Can you play Skyrim together with Legendary Edition?

Despite mods now being available on Xbox and PlayStation, Skyrim Together is not one of them. They have also been forced to drop support for older versions of the game, so you also won't be able to use it with the original or Legendary versions on Steam, it has to be the Special Edition.

Can you transfer Skyrim saves to Legendary Edition?

Yes, but with some conditions. Existing save games from the original PC game will work in the PC version of Skyrim Special Edition. Simply copy your old saves from My Games/Skyrim to My Games/Skyrim Special Edition. Only use original saves that have never used mods.

Is Skyrim Legendary Edition the same as original Skyrim?

Legendary Edition is the original 32 bit version, and is the version that is compatible with mods dating back to the Skyrim's initial release. Special Edition is the 64 bit version, which broke compatibility with old mods when it came out.
