To be fair every update breaks tons of mods, which is why devs of mod-centric games like this should enable multiple versions in Steam the way Kerbal Space Program does.
Bethesda should just stop updating their shitty modding platforms after 2 years
i've twice had them ruin my 1500+ Skyrim modlists
if you pirate the game they can't update it and all your mods will always work.
might not get new mods as easily but it's been a decade you're probably fine.
Nice try, Todd. I already have 3 copies of your game, I will not pirate it on top of those
good guy bethesda making you play a better game instead
The better and more reasonable course of action for Bethesda would have been to do nothing
to be fair the update could be the most amazing engine update that added in a bunch of bugfixes and optimizations and as well as expanded the railroad into a real faction and rewrote the Institute to make sense but people still would want an option to downgrade since the update inevitably still broke all their mods
I'm just gonna wait for the F4SE update 🤷🏿♂️ I have the game on steam and it automatically updated so I can't do anything about it till then anyway
