When do I need to start a new save


Khaineravenor

Question

Hello,

 

I am new to modding, I have a question regarding adding new mods to the load order as well as what actions require you to start a new save.

 

I have the step:core extended installed as well as the Civil war pack, immersive survival pack, immersive weapons, immersive armor packs. 

 

I am wondering what actions require you to start a new save, or might corrupt a save file. I am hoping to add mods as I go through my playthrough and I am wondering if adding housing mods, or mods that do not change anything deep just add to the game will cause any issues with my save. 

 

I am basically asking if I should download everything before I keep going on my playthrough.

It is always best practice to start with all the mods you are planning to use before starting a new game and keep them during the entire playthrough.

 

With that said, most mods can be added to a game-in-progress, without any issue. The main ones to avoid are overhauls mods that overhaul things other than just meshes and textures. Overhauls or changes to things like NPCs, perks, gameplay mechanics, etc should be added very carefully. When in doubt, ask the author!

 

Texture and mesh mods can be added or deleted at any time without issue. I don't see any issue with house mods either.
