Profile Copying and Ordering Question

[Ogrebear]

I have a malfunctioning game save using MO (awesome program btw) with CTD's etc that I am abandoning, if I am making a new Profile for a new playthrough is the best option:

 

1) Copy my existing Profile?

 

If I Copy my existing Profile will I inherit the problems I am having with my existing game even if I turn everything off and turn on a different set of mods?

 

If I Copy my existing Profile and turn off a load of mods should I move the unchecked ones to a low Priority number so they don't interfere with ticked active mods?

 

 

2) Make a new one and install only the mods I want into that profile?

 

Will installing mods into a new Profile affect any other Profile?

 

 

General Question please- if I am making a Profile for a specific type of playthrough (no magic barbarian or Necromancer Orc etc) should I lock the saved games to that Profile?

Not much time, pre x-mass stress.

I think the thread 'profile & mods' will give you more info. Also the profiles tab in the MO wiki has some good information. Should you miss something please report is.

If a mod is unchecked is unchecked its excluded from the virtual filing system (see advanced tab of wiki). Therefore its disabled and  no need to give it a lower priority.

In the resources tab of the wiki 5-6 videos are mentioned. REAL life and time savers.
