@identyfikato Before you do a 50-50, make a copy of your Saves folder on your desktop. That way you don't have to worry about accidentally saving over when you're testing CC.
Here's a workflow that makes that 50-50 efficient -- and any true 50-50 test is the most efficient way to maanage your CC... and something you cannot always avoid if you choose to use mods and CC. For general 50-50 instructions, see https://answers.ea.com/t5/Mod-CC-Issues/INFO-How-to-Use-Mods-and-CC/m-p/13439356#FiftyFifty.
That workflow:
- Copy-paste your Saves folder to your desktop as a backup. Now you don't have to worry about accidentally saving without CC.
- Drag the whole Mods folder to the desktop. Delete the file called localthumbcache.
- Start the game so it makes a new folder. Test in a new save to make sure that it works. <---- this will show you that it was a mod or CC.
- Exit and drag just mods not CC back into the new Mods folder. Start the game to test. If it works move that whole batch of mods to a new folder on your desktop called "tested", then delete localthumbcache. If it doesn't work, check for updates. If it still doesn't work, drag just half the mods to a folder called "50" (this is the 50 in 50-50 testing), delete localthumbcache and test.
- When mods are tested, you can next test CC. You could even do this in a massive batch, or just two massive ones.
