SKSE uses an offline tool I developed a long time ago based around position independent code hashing. Other plugins use code signature matching, which finds functions that "look like" a specific pattern. Most plugins use the Address Library by meh321. During that time, code has been developed to make many plugins portable across different versions of the game. The native code modding scene around Skyrim SE will have been around for about four years when AE comes out. Back up your executable now, and disable updates in Steam. The upcoming Anniversary Edition of Skyrim is going to be much more disruptive to the modding scene than is commonly believed.
