What type of mods become embedded in your game saves?

Hi,

I'm using Friendly Hud, Immersive Camera, STLM, and HD Re-worked. Do these mods affect game saves possibly corrupting them in future? Do they still with your saves permanently?

Thank you

This game, in my experience has very little issues with corrupting saves if you install/uninstall correctly and use script merger correctly, but that doesn't mean it's impossible.

 

However I can say for certain that the last 2 mods on that list, STLM and HD reworked, physically cannot and will never corrupt your saves regardless of what you do, because they are only lighting and texture replacer mods, and only scripts can corrupt a save in the true sense of the phrase. The other 2 mods contain scripts, so it isn't impossible for them to corrupt your save. However they are both high quality and well supported mods, so the most likely will NOT corrupt saves.

 

The only downside to texture mods is that there appears to be a limit within the game's engine of how many texture mods you can use without causing issues. But since you only use 2, you should be completely fine. On the newest version of the game, I've found the texture limit to be around 15 from my own testing.
