Basic question about upgrading installed mods.

Post by Hero of Alexandria »

I am recently aware of mods and am hugely thankful for them, but I have one concern. I have about 120 mods installed and tracked in MO2. I now see some of them have updates. How do I determine which updates will break my saved characters? I want to use the latest versions, but I do not want to have to start over _every_ time one of those mods is updated.

Regards

Each updated mod should have information provided by the mod author on whether it is safe to update mid-playthrough and, if so, how to safely do so. If it doesn't, then it's pretty much "update at your own risk". If you're getting your mods from Nexus, you can also try using the "Posts" tab of the mod's page to ask the author directly (although good authors should provide this information without needing to be asked).

And I sure ain't in it for the wealth
