Likely safe for 1.7.99
Every runtime bump breaks SKSE64 and native SKSE plugins (DLLs) until SKSE, Address Library and plugin authors catch up.
Likely safe
No breakage evidence for 1.7.99: Engine Fixes, PapyrusExt have no release that names the patch, but there are post-patch releases or no breakage reports since. Probably fine; skim the notes. Also check Address Lib manually (Nexus-only, not counted).

Statuses are inferred from public release data (Steam news, GitHub, Thunderstore, Mojang/Fabric/Forge/NeoForge/Modrinth APIs). They are not guarantees — verify on each project's page before updating. Items marked “Check manually” are not counted in the verdict.
Current verdict: Likely safe. No breakage evidence for 1.7.99: Engine Fixes, PapyrusExt have no release that names the patch, but there are post-patch releases or no breakage reports since. Probably fine; skim the notes. Also check Address Lib manually (Nexus-only, not counted). Latest patch tracked: 1.7.99 (2026-08-20).
Every runtime bump breaks SKSE64 and native SKSE plugins (DLLs) until SKSE, Address Library and plugin authors catch up.
Automatically: Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE64), SSE Engine Fixes, powerofthree's Papyrus Extender, Crash Logger SSE AE VR. Linked for manual checks (no public release API): Address Library for SKSE Plugins.
Safe: a release explicitly supports the current patch (release notes, the maintainer's official page, or a stable build for that game version). Likely safe: a release is dated after the patch but doesn't name it, or the patch is over a week old with no breakage reports on the project's issue tracker. Just patched, wait: the patch is under 7 days old and the framework hasn't updated. Breakage reported: open issues report the framework broke after the patch. Not ported yet (Minecraft): no build exists for that version. Not affected by patches: version-agnostic tools such as mod managers or generic loaders; they don't count toward the verdict.
Game patches come from official Steam announcements (app 489830). Framework data comes from public release APIs (GitHub, Thunderstore, Fabric/Forge/NeoForge meta, Modrinth). ModSafe does not scrape Nexus Mods or SteamDB.
