Is it safe to uninstall outfit replacers?

[AryaFedor]

I'm new to modding and I'm not sure if it will be safe or not.

 

I have female outfit replacer by lazman in my load order installed after cbbe. I want to uninstall it through NMM and then install another armor replacer mod instead. Is it safe to do this?

It's never OK to uninstall a mod in a game you're in the middle of, and install a new mod.
It will orphan a bunch of scripts, and eventually corrupt your game saves.

PLUS, if it's an outfit replacer, the outfit could've been added to Leveled Lists, and is now on alf of the Wasteland's NPCs, and removing that outfir, and adding yet ANOTHER replacer could cause a ton of crashes.


NEVER ADD or REMOVE Mods in the middle of a game.

Either start a new game, or keep the mod and continue playing

Should be fine most texture centric mods can be removed safely

If it uses an ESP it's not fine to uninstall, if it's only loose meshes and textures, then YES

A ton of clothing mods don't even come with scripts. Albeit there are plenty that DO come with scripted level-list injection. Those mods usually say so on the description page.

 

While it is best not to uninstall mods mid-playthrough, it's not THAT dangerous to uninstall clothing mods. Whether they insert the outfits into leveled lists or not.

Clothing mods are among the safest to remove mid-playthrough.

I think your biggest risk is running into an NPC that was wearing one of the removed outfits - and discovering them naked after the removal. uwu

I never said clothing mods came with scripts, not ONCE.

 

WHAT I SAID WAS: "It's never OK to uninstall a mod in a game you're in the middle of, and install a new mod. IT WILL ORPHAN A BUNCH OF SCRIPTS"

I thought that what I typed was obvious enough to the average reader, that REMOVING or ADDING MODS in the middle of a game would orphan scripts PERIOD. "CLOTHING" wasn't even a word used in those sentences

 

I even had one person in another thread jump on me and say "You can't even add or remove mods in the middle of a game", basically accusing me of being so stupid, they thought I was telling them that they shouldn't add or remove mods, WHILE THE GAME IS LOADED AND THEY ARE PLAYING IT. YES, LITERALLY.

I mean....COME ON.

 

I see in the future that I will have to be painfully specific and extremely literal and boringly didactic when I respond to a thread to avoid erroneous things being added to what I typed.

o_O yikes, ok... Just, it kinda did look like you were saying that uninstalling clothing mods (which is the focus of this thread) would leave a bunch of orphaned scripts. I assumed when you said that, you were talking about clothing mods. Y'know, on account of how that's the point of the thread. The thread maker was asking about uninstalling a clothing mod - not mods in general.

 

But lol at that story tho XD

Not to mention the characters will be wearing the original outfits again after roughly 3 in game days. It's really not a big deal.

Thank you guys so much for the information. Then I'll just replace the outfit replacer mod before starting a new game. Just one more question:

 

In the process I told you about, should I leave "armorsmith extended" untouched or I have to reinstall it after/before the armor replacer mod?
