Safe to upgrade directly. Just uninstall the old version, and install the new one.
The three main components of Frostfall are Hypothermia, Cold Water Survival, and Camping.
The primary objective of this mod is to add a deep, immersive level of gameplay to Skyrim, while keeping tedium to a minimum. An immersion mod should never get in the way of having fun.
Frostfall uses a sophisticated system to track your location, weather, time of day, worn clothing, and more, to determine your current condition, in a seamless and immersive way. Combined with Campfire, it also features a large variety of craftable camping equipment, including craftable torches. It is highly customizable, and very compatible with most other mods food, timescale, lighting, werewolf, and vampire mods.
Differences between Classic Skyrim and Special Edition
Any features that relied on SkyUI, such as hotkeys, Settings Profiles, and the SkyUI Interface Add-On, are not available. Everything else should be fully intact from the original Skyrim version. Enjoy!
