(Unless you think the mod is causing problems, in which case you should see the “Troubleshooting” section of this guide.) The best time to uninstall a mod is when you’re ready to start a new character. In any other case, if you really don’t want to use a mod anymore, I strongly suggest that you leave it installed and just refrain from accessing its content. Mods that only alter the game’s graphics or audio are usually safe to uninstall mid-game. The mod author may have listed a way to safely uninstall the mod mid-game. If you’re 50 hours into a game and you really want to uninstall a mod, but don’t want to abandon your character, check the mod’s description page. With some exceptions, you should never uninstall or deactivate a mod after you’ve started a game with that mod active. Rule #3: Never Remove Mods Partway Through the Game If you start up your game and something is jacked up, you can either roll back and go without the new mods or reinstall them one by one and isolate the problem child by a process of elimination. To minimize the inconvenience of creating backups ten times a day, I suggest installing mods in batches whenever possible. You never know which mod is going to break your game, so you’ll always want to have a stable version to roll back to. All of the mod management programs out there for Bethesda games can do this for you, and you can also do it manually. Before you make any changes to your game, make backups (for Mod Organizer, this is button #8 in the screenshot below refer back to this screenshot anytime you see a number in red). This should go without saying, but I’ll say it anyway just to be sure. Do it right the first time and save yourself a big headache later. The #1 reason this happens is that a user (sometimes thousands of users) didn’t read the mod author’s instructions, did something wrong, borked their whole game, and now wants someone to blame. Many, many mods aren’t really “install and forget,” even if they seem that way.Īt least on Nexus, mod authors often get snippy with users, and it’s not always unjustified. He wrote a 5,000-word description on the mod page and it’s mostly weird fan fiction. Some guy created a mod that turns dragons into strippers and you just want to see Alduin in a G-string already.
Rule #1: Read Every Word of Every Mod’s Description, Every Single Time
