Will you think about extending this from esp and bsa to further file types as well (like meshes, textures and most importantly the various skse ini files that are generated at runtime)? Please...

MultiMagpie Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) Yup, this is not as much an upgrade as it is a complete new mod manager that you should only install at your own extreme peril. Just wanted to play a bit of Skyrim to relax after a hard days work, but instead of that I have been cursing at the screen all evening. Yes, it does say that it needs to reinstall you mods (5 minutes my ass), but it did not say that after that your character will be stuck with a blue face. I appreciate the work you are doing here, but today I am not that happy. Edit: The blue face is fixed, I messed up reinstalling some tatoo mods. Game seems to be running fine now, will see if anything else is borked. It was not how I wanted to spend the evening, but I have gotten much more fun using this service than one frustrating evening can ruin. Keep up the good work!

As far as I understand it, the only mods that have an issue with 60.5 are fomod installers. If you don't have any of those, it probably won't brick your game. Probably. I just reinstalled 56.1 and everything works fine now. Nope, I have no fomod installers, still having problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
