For those who don’t know, the Creation Club is a system by which modders can apply to create professional-quality, curated mods for Bethesda Game Studios’ titles like Skyrim and Fallout 4. These modders, if selected, are paid for their work, which has to go through a QA process, unlike regular video game mods.

Anyone who owns Skyrim Special Edition is getting a free upgrade to a lot of what Skyrim Anniversary Edition offers, but not everything. These include the current-gen technical improvements for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PS5 players, as well as the Fishing, Survival Mode and Saints and Seducers questline.
