I have a question:
I have a previous save file I've never used mods with... BUT for a month I've been playing with only the following mods:
Werewolf loot mod
ish respec mod
Skyui
CBBE body mod
CBBE armor mod
I know your answer is going to END with "Always keep a clean save file that hasn't been played with while mods are installed"
But I'm interested in how much "actual" risk is there is in terms of longevity of the save file, if I have NONE of those mods installed, will one day my file be unplayable without them? Or the game will just crash when I try to play without those mods?
I ask because with my testing, I've played with a copied CLEAN Data folder and then SWITCHED back to my MODS ADDED DATA folder MULTIPLE times over the last month, and my save files fine.
So is there really a huge risk? Do people acutally get corrupted save files that are ***Unloadable*** when playing their saves without mods?
Thanks for the feedback!
