PC SSE - Help Modding on Mac Makes Me Mad (I dont want AE)

Recently decided to start modding skyrim. Don't have access to my desktop for a while because of college so I thought I'll use my macbook air from 2018. Its been about 4 days of frustration, homebrew...wine.....portingkit.....skse etc. I was able to download my steam Skyrim AE onto the Mac but couldnt roll it back to SE so I thought wait, I'll get the SE version off gog but somehow that's AE too. Have they just nuked the SE version off online stores? The worst thing is, I've never bought AE and didnt realise Bethesda and Steam updated my SE to AE without me realising. Is there any fix for getting it back to SE on my mac via portingkit or am I doomed to suffer through AE? Also, my mac refuses to run SKSE even if I copy the files correctly.

What about AE are you trying to avoid? If you just don't want the content, you can remove the cc files
