To explain why, I’m going to delve a little bit into what happens when you start using certain mods, and how your save becomes dependent on them. There are indeed some mods that are completely safe to install and uninstall from your game at any time. In general, these mods are ‘replacer’ mods, ones that replace things from the vanilla game without adding or removing any objects. Texture packs, armor or weapon recolors, some sound mods will usually fall into this category. Texture replacements, for example, simply replace a texture file that is already in the game with a new or altered one. Only the specific files that are included in the mod are changed, and because the vanilla game files are always in the game data, the save has files to retrieve if/when the new texture is removed. Saves will never develop dependencies on these types of mods. Some mods are relatively safe to add and remove from your game, but you may experience some problems. Mods that add or remove any objects, equipment, buildings, NPCs, or even perks and abilities are in this category. In general, adding these into a save is no problem. However, if you install a mod that heavily alters an outdoor world space, or an interior cell like an inn for example, and your character is in said space when you install and attempt to load the mod, you may have some glitching or even crashing because you are trying to alter a cell that is already loaded.
The same goes for when you remove said mods and your character is again in the space you are trying to revert back to vanilla. In the case of mods that add equipment or spells, again, installing them is generally painless. If you remove them, though, the objects that were added now no longer exist, so they will be missing from your game.
If you use a mod like SkyRe, the perk changes it makes won’t exist if you decide to take it out, but that means any points you spent in those perks go along with it. Taking these types of mods out may cause you to lose some items or spells that you will have to find or make again if you put the mod back, but there shouldn’t be too many game breaking problems (that can’t be resolved through the in-game console, anyway).Īnd last we get to the illicit substances of Skyrim mods, the scripted ones. There are many, many different mods that require scripts to run.
