Ideas
Hi! If you have a copy of an uncorrupted save file from before the last patch, I would make multiple copies of that file and put them in backup folders on your PC Desktop. Then you can just use your clean, uncorrupted save file to test things after the patch. If things in the game are still wrong and it gets corrupted, you have other clean copies to fall back on and replace it with. I just made a copy of my entire "saves" folder and put it on my Desktop in preparation for the update tomorrow. I'll do the same with my "Tray" folder.
Personally, I never update right away. I have auto update turned off and I play offline for at least a week or two until the smoke clears and the mods I play with have all been updated. Then, even after that, if I finally launch my game again with everything updated and things are still problematic, I have the backup copies of my saves on my Desktop to fall back on. Even if initially all looks well, I'll hang on to those for awhile after the update because sometimes significant bugs that cause irreversible damage are not seen and caught immediately.
Hope that helps!
you're right, it's the only way, (practically a job instead of a game -_-)
