"Q. When would be the best time to upgrade? I'd say, when you're comfortable with the concept of reinstalling some mods (how many seems to completely depend on how the migration process goes and we've not found a pattern as of yet) and when you have the time to do it. For some, the migration procedure is taking mere minutes. Others have claimed it's taken many hours. A particularly good time would be when you're wanting to do a fresh install of Skyrim (or the game you're playing) with a fresh installation of mods. Or, if you're very secure and comfortable with the process of installing mods properly: any time when you have the time to do it!" I would definitely agree with this answer, honestly. It's what I ended up doing anyway. I wanted to redo some of my mods, but with you have over 200 of them and they all regularly clash, sometimes it's just easier to take advantage of a new system to just get it all rebooted (Though admittedly, I probably didn't do as clean an install as I should have, but eh. I can reinstall it again, so meh.) I will say that I"m surprised that the general reactions. A lot of people wanna play the blame game I guess. I"m not gonna pretend like I helped by bug reporting, since by that time I decided to capitalize on the new launcher and uninstall, so I dropped the ball there. but, that aside. The sooner we all just move on, the better. And if it's really that bad, peeps, a clean install isn't as bad as it might seem.
