The mods I use were up to date when I downloaded them shortly before 1.7 was released, and they still show as latest version in my Nexus Mod manager.. does that mean they will still work fine with 1.7 or should I wait for updates? I'm not even sure if a patch affect mod compability at all or not.. Just thought I'd ask to be on the safe side.

Giving you a blanket answer would be irresponsible without knowing what mods you are running.

I will say this though. If mod authors have been assigning Update.esm properly as a master it should be very rare for you to encounter serious issues when updating Skyrim to the latest patch.

I would just stick with 1.6 just to be sure, I never patch a modded game unless I'm starting over on a brand new character.

Without knowing your mod list, it's hard to tell, but I thought I'd let you know that we're actually into patch 1.8, not 1.7.
You can always check the page for each mod; as most are unaffected, they should say (or at least users will have commented) whether or not they still work.

Generally speaking there shouldn't be an issue with mods done under CK 1.6 running just fine under Patch 1.7 or Patch 1.8. You WILL run into serious problems with mods built for patches that came before 1.6 though.

I use:

Convenient Horses. (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/14950)
UFO - Ultimate Follower Overhaul. (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/14037)
Riverside Lodge with Sauna. (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/14308)
Rayeks End - Mini Hideout. (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/16028)
Werewolves Occurring Naturally. (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/22622)
Spouses Can Live Everywhere. (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/11370)
SkyUI. (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/3863)
Tamriel Compendium. (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/10462)

Also use 2-3 more but they do not have ESP files, only textures/meshes so I assume it dosen't matter for those mods. All the mods on this list are up to date according to Nexus Mod Manager, except for the Tamriel compendium because I added that via Steam so it dosen't show among the rest of the mods.


I would, but Steam updated my game without telling me so it is already updated.

EDIT: Just read in the comments on one of the mods that 1.8 is released? I was in the game just a few days ago and I swear it was 1.7.. now I'm honestly not sure if it was 1.8 I had when I checked last time, or if it was 1.7.. and not sure if it was 1.6 or 1.7 I had last time I played/updated the mods x_x *confused*
