    @SimMariaG They should gradually get less over time. You can see that on the icon as the background slowly gets less green/red. They shouldn't just disappear altogether.

    Hard to tell if it was a side effect of removing the mod or not.

    Are you able to get new ones ? Do you have a backup maybe you can try if the same happens again ?

@crinrict wish we weren't on lockdown. I can't get a drive compatible with a Mac so I can't backup. I have Apple's cloud thingy, but that doesn't seem to work. Also dropbox but not having much success with that either. Must be brain-fog (I have autism!). Thanks though, I'll keep trying. 🙂

    @Gednaa Just backup to the same drive (different place on the same drive)

    All you need to do really is create a copy of your savegame, then remove the mods and find out what mod is causing it. Once you know which one, remove that, then put the copy of your save game back that wasn't affected by removing all mods.

    Does that make more sense ?

    @crinrict Ah, thanks. Yes, that does help a lot. I thought I needed a separate backup drive, which I don't have yet. You're a star!
