Newly Broken/Obsolete Game Mods and Tools
Broken Mods and Tools
All mods listed broken either are reported broken by the creator or are tested by me or a trusted tester, unless otherwise noted. See also: the separate Previously Broken list, and (below) Updated Mods and Tools and broken and updated CC lists.
NOTE: There is NO tool, anywhere, that accurately and automatically does 50-50 testing for you. NO tool can test for all the ways CC breaks, because so tools can’t see the game with, like, actual eyes, or play a specific game scenario to trigger an error. NO tool knows all the files that need to be kept together for all the mods out there to work right. One new one I saw today, the creator doesn’t seem to know ts4script files exist. This is just one of the kinds of problem tools seen recently. Avoid new mod-help tools unless you see them OK’d by longtime, high-profile modders and established mod-support people.
