From one player to another ... those pinned posts in the Mods and CC Forum? They include really useful player-created resources that can help save you time and headaches when the game updates. This is just SOME of what's pinned there, at the top or side:
- The pinned Previously Broken Mods and CC is full of things to delete, that broke before the current patch. A lot of these are still available to download, so even if your game works now, this is useful!
- The pinned Broken and Updated Mods and CC post compiles all sorts of mod news beginning with the most recent game update -- what's broken (and not updated yet), obsolete, updated, cleared as fine to use by the mod creator, and more. AND that news is posted in a way that if you "follow" the post, you'll get regular notifications of what's new.
- The pinned How to Use Mods and CC has tips on things like organizing your folder to make keeping up with mod changes easier. And my favorite tip for game updates: Keep a different save for playing mod-free while creators are sorting through their mods!
