Yeah, I ended up stumbling on an incorrectly saved (first time, lol) patch 5 with mods that I created and used that. It was from a few weeks ago when I was trying to figure out how to make the modmanager work. Copied that into the "patch" folder and boom...all my saved games were playable again and all my mods were there. Now I've learned stuff. Save things, lol. So now I'm keeping a vanilla patch 5, a vanilla patch 6, and a working modded patch 5. When the modmanager gets updated to work with patch 6, then I'll play with that some more but for right now, it'll likely be months before I even care about the DLC anyway (also, uncheck "update games automatically" in Origin).

Ugh...never mind, forgot that part...now remerging my mods and then pasting to the update folder makes the game freeze completely on loading. Only move is to scrap the update folder and "repair" from the origin app. What's everyone ELSE doing?

So, it's not a CRISIS because I was hating the way my character looked anyway, but I got about 19 hours in (on the second restart, mind you, first runthrough I had over 80 before I decided to scrap it and add mods) but all the sudden my saves can't be loaded cuz of this patch 6 they put in. Tried remerging the mods to a new patch, still get the same message "this save game is under an updated patch, install the latest patch to play" or something similar. Again, it's not a crisis, I was looking for an excuse to restart anyway, but how can I defeat this next time? Turn off auto-updates, sure, but how does everyone ELSE do this?
