Patch 1.15.222 Broke everything
For Patch 1.15.216 (May update)
i suggest updating and using address library, but for those who want to downgrade.....

From eXeAmarantha on Starfield Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/Starfield/comments/1milngo/guide_reverting_to_update_115216_until_mods_are/)

Step 1: Backup your SFSE folder so you don't have to manually reinstall your plugins/presets steamapps\common\Starfield\Data\SFSE

Step 2: Backup any custom made ESP you might have in steamapps\common\Starfield\Data

Step 3: Backup Starfield.ini ,StarfieldCustom.ini and any batch file you might have in steamapps\common\Starfield (so you don't have to waste time post-install)

Step 4: Delete everything in steamapps\common\Starfield folder should be totally empty afterwards. This is very important, if you don't want to end up with a botched install

Step 5: Open the Steam console by pressing Win+R then enter steam://open/console

Step 6: Type download_depot 1716740 1716741 6270867041624635278 then wait for the download to complete as in the screenshot. It's very quick.

Step 7: Type download_depot 1716740 1716742 9055339130498423803 then wait for the download to complete as in the screenshot. This is the whole game being redownloaded, it's definitely not that quick.

Step 8: If you have the Digital Premium Edition Upgrade (and only if), type download_depot 1716740 2401180 1350450549444461803 then wait for the download to complete as in the screenshot. It's very quick.

Step 9: If you have the Preorder Bonus (and only if), type download_depot 1716740 2401181 9009164480135609609 then wait for the download to complete as in the screenshot. It's very quick.

Step 10: Head over to the Steam\steamapps\content\app_1716740 folder, you should see folders in there named depot_XXXXXXXwhich correspond to the downloads you just completed.

Step 11: Copy everything from INSIDE the depot_1716741 folder (not the folder itself, only its contents) to steamapps\common\Starfield

Step 12: Copy everything from INSIDE the depot_1716742 folder (not the folder itself, only its contents) to steamapps\common\Starfield

Step 13: Skip unless you have the Digital Premium Edition Upgrade. Copy everything from INSIDE the depot_2401180 folder (not the folder itself, only its contents) to steamapps\common\Starfield

Step 14: Skip unless you have the Preorder Bonus. Copy everything from INSIDE the depot_2401181 folder (not the folder itself, only its contents) to steamapps\common\Starfield

Step 15 (SUPER IMPORTANT): If you don't want to ruin all the hard work you've just done, open your Steam library and right-click Starfield in your games list, then select Properties. Navigate to the "Updates" tab and under "Automatic Updates", select "Wait until I launch the game".
This will prevent the game from updating itself unless you launch it through Steam. Launching the game through SFSE (which MO2 or Vortex do) WILL NOT trigger a game update.

Step 16: Enjoy your hard work and play the game.
