No one is going to give it to you on here, that's for sure. Besides, what exactly is stopping you from updating SSE to 1.6.1130 and then using the Best of Both Worlds downgrader on the Nexus to get a hybrid of 1.6.640 exe+dlls and 1.6.1130 esm, esl+bsas? That way, you can use non-SKSE mods for 1.6.1130 on SSE 1.6.640.

As has been stated, you will not be able to get the older version of Alternate Start here, and since the older, outdated, and no longer supported version of Alternate Start has been removed from the sites where it was legally posted, any public sharing of it would be considered mod piracy.

As to downgrading, of course you are free to do as you wish, though be aware that with regard to downgrading and using current CC content, it is strongly NOT recommended.

As to using Best of Both Worlds which states that you can use current CC content with the old .exe, there is this
"anyone running the game with the current CC content and who has downgraded, is running the game in a broken state because the new content requires the updated executable."

"As to using the old EXE and the new content ... it's basically a broken game courting instability"

I am getting a CTD whenever I choose one of the options that that Lady Mara provides me. I just upgraded to the latest to the latest version of SEE (1130) and validated that all mods that I have which contain a DLL have also be updated. This validated because if I had a mod that contained an outdated DLL the game crashes on me soon after I see the Bethesda Logo. I am currently in the abandoned prison and have modified my characters appeareance to my liking. I have also allowed all of the mods that I have loaded to install/enable/update before attempting to go to the Statue of Lady Mara. No matter which option I choose from the list that Lady Mara provides...........I immediately CTD.

Any ideas on what could be causing this?

I figured out what the issue was several days ago and I am just now responding in hopes that this may help someone else in the future. My culprit mod(s) were ConsoleUtilSSE NG-76649-1-5-0-1702650471 and Dragonborn Voice Over-84329-1-1-1-1691780943 from Nexus. Both of these two mods required an update due to the latest and greatest release of SSE but were not displayed at start-up like the mods that required an official DLL update. Once the mod authors of these two mods updated their respective mods, my issues went away and I am a happy camper once again. Again my issue was not related to this mod..........

Actually they can. 1.6.1130 is a free update, just like all the others before it.

"AE" is an additional content DLC that's purchased separately from the main game distribution. Anyone who tells you otherwise is giving you false information.

I think (after a couple days of toiling because this is my first time modding PC Skyrim) that this mod currently conflicts with SSE Engine Fixes. I've been following Vlad's guides, and with some trial and error, it appears that when SSE Engine Fixes is running, LAL does not. No idea why, that's just what I've been able to find so far. The other bug fix mods appear to be working. It may potentially have something to do with Engine Fixes' .dll's, because I do not have an Intel processor and those files come from Intel. Not sure how that affects this mod, but I'm seeing colors from staring at this monitor all day, so that's all I've got. Probably just a skill issue on my part. *shrug*

Fixed by following Wolfpack49's instructions on the Engine Fixes Nexus page. Toml file requires new edits for 1.6.1130

Alright, so, I have an issue.

When loading the game (even with ONLY having USSEP and LAL active in Wrye Bash) and starting a new character, I still end up on the path to Helgen. I don't know exactly how to fix this (very green in the Skyrim modding scene), and any help is nice. Using latest GOG version.

alternate start plugin not found. ??

AE 1.6.1130.0 and USSEP is installed.

this has probably been suggested before but it would be amazing if there were specific voice lines for immersion added to race specific starts, like being the guard for a khajiit caravan and other khajiit actually refer to you as their guard, or even simply removing the mentions of "outlander" starting in orc strongholds. doesn't necessarily have to be voiced at this point i just think it'd be pretty cool to see other npcs refer to you as if you belong there.

Does this version of the mod also support the GOG version of the game (game version 1.6.659)? And if so how do i get it working?

GOG has been updated to 1170 now so there's no need for copies that aren't up to at least 1130 anymore.

Same issue here

If you're using Engine Fixes, in the EngineFixes.toml file:

EnableAchievementsWithMods
SaveAddedSoundCategories
SaveScreenshots

Those 3 options need to be disabled as they do not work and will cause the game to disable ALL of your mods, not just LAL. This is STILL broken despite the 1170 update fixing achievement integrations for both Steam and GOG.
