In response to post #36131870. because you're supposed to start a new game for the new survival mode. your old saves are supposed to crash without the mods, they are dependent on them, and, as mentioned before, the update disables mods. "then i remove my mods and i get ctd before intro" - not 100% sure, but you could/should have tried verifying game's file integrity. i had an issue updating to automatron, where i somehow lost half of my interior textures. a clean install fixed all the issues
