Glenstorm Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I heard that installing ESM mods permanently changes the savegame. Given this, is it safe to install ESM mods? Will it cause any issues long term? I really wish to use them as some of the best mods out there are in ESM format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secksegai Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Perfectly safe. Not quite, as it can cause problems - HOWEVER, said problems can arise all the same from using ESP files. The only way to guarantee you avoid any problems that arise from modding is by not using any at all. With that said, ESM files are generally only utilized by mods that make some major changes to the base game, primarily beauty packs like lings and mikoto's, or DLC packs. The real question you should be asking yourself is are you comfortable enough manually placing files in folders on your HD to be attempting to install mods (specifically the more complex ones) to be attempting to install and use them?
