It's a learning curve that's for sure. I should clean up and upload my own preset sometime maybe LOL. Although it's probably rather boring to be honest. I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Actually, this video shows all the things including where apartment preset saves go -

Oh so sorry been out of town. You can save your apartment preset! I hope you didn't delete it already. You just need to save the apartment as a preset in game through AMM and then save the preset file it makes somewhere ourside the game folder and then pop it back in after you redo your mods. I'm on my phone so I can't type out how to do those things but I will tomorrow when I get online just in case you can still save it. And yeah, I dumped Redmod and any mods that require it. Too much messiness.

I totally understand. It can be daunting dealing with modding at the beginning and yes, there is some snobbery from long term modders. I hope it won't push you off though. It can be such a fun and rewarding thing, refreshing old games and making them new again, or improving on newer games in ways that should have been in the game to begin with. Just FYI there is a mod that actually will actually remove all mods for you - very useful! https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/8597

Well. You are going to get different people telling you different things. One of the biggest issues with Vortex is that many mod authors do not package their mods to be properly handled by Vortex installation. So things end up in the wrong folders and just will not work. And in some cases, Vortex just does not get along with certain kinds of mods. I have probably 300? mods for CP2077 and I mod entirely by hand. I download a mod manually, then I check to make sure it is packages in the correct file paths, and if not, I repackage it so that it is. Then I unzip the mod to my CP2077 main directory and store the zipped file separately so I always know what files to delete if I want to uninstall it for any reason. Considering how many times I've ended up with serious problems via Vortex and had to muck about for hours to fix them, I'd rather take the other time to mod manually. But it's really a personal choice. Whether you mod manually or using Vortex, there are two very, very important things that are the base of all modding. 1. Make sure you download the REQUIREMENTS for all mods. These are specified on the description page of the mods and usually when you download as well. 2. Make sure you know WHERE the mod files are supposed to go, and that the files are packaged properly to actually GO there, whether you are using Vortex or unzipping them manually to add to your game. It may seem complicated and annoying for a while, but whichever way you choose, once you get the hang of it, it will be easy enough. And it will change the way you play PC games forever. Especially in improving mediocre games to make them good, make good games great, and making great games so awesome you will just keep remodding and playing them for years and years.

I'm a big fan of the Original Solo Body (since it looks super hot but works with almost all vanilla clothes & modded clothes for vanilla bodies) and the matching Solo Arms. A modder posted a lovely mod the past few days converting PL vanilla clothing for Solo SMALL BREAST Bodies & Solo Arms. Sadly, it did not have a conversion for Original Solo Body & Solo Arms or just Solo Arms alone. Nearly all vanilla clothing works fine for the Solo Original Body but a lot of the long sleeved items in the main game and PL have holes in the sleeves with the Solo Arms. But as far as I am aware, and I have done a lot of looking, there is no vanilla clothing conversion for the Solo Original Body & Solo Arms or just the Solo Arms alone either for the main game or PL.

Thank you all for your input and advice. I appreciate you taking the time to give me so much information and the pros and cons of each. That's why I love the modding community. :D

Hello all. So I'm coming back to modding Skyrim after a very long absence being ill. I was wondering, now that Skyrim SE is on GoG Galaxy and I saw some post on Reddit about it maybe being better to mod that version? So to all those modders out there who haven't been gone forever, which version would you suggest as the easier one to mod and the one less likely to get broken all the time by updates?

In response to post #63130416. Actually, if it was a GOOD mousepad, with a wrist rest, I would actually buy that instead of just getting one from Amazon because I do need a new one... That's a good idea. Merch we gamers need anyway, instead of just stuff like mugs and t-shirts etc.

Sure. Why not merch? I'm afraid I would be spending my extra money on computer upgrades and games... but maybe my wife might buy me a mug or something. :-)

Feel the need for some Steam!

I never win anything. Sigh. That's my comment.

This just started happening to me but in LE NOT SE. I don't know if I have permanently or only temporarily fixed it but: I deleted all but the last good set of .ess and .skse saves after backing them all up. Then I went in game and loaded that save. Then I deleted that save so there were no saves at all. Then I made a new save and quit the game. So back to save numbered one. Went back into game loaded the new save, and so far I have done a bunch of stuff and saved like ten times with no issue. Wish me luck...
