Keeps crashing because of ''out-dated'' mods?
Can someonetell me why that after i spent hours on hourse setting up a campaign with several mods only to find out that literally the next day i cannot load my saved game and it crashes. Then when i open up the mod manager i find out that one or more of the mods i was using is already ''out dated''........do they really keep updating and changing the game which makes it just almost impossible to use any mods because the next day those mods would be completely useless and making your saved games with those mods crash?

Dont get me wrong, absolutely love the game and been a fan since the start...but this is getting on my nerves to see much time spent...gone!

its prob that the mods change the info in your saved game. the mods are all out dated but still work

You should be fine with Graphical mods like Re-skins, Re-coloring, Weather and Lighting, U.i, G.e.m etc. Because they don't leave mod dependencies on the save game files to play/work.

Turns per year, Unit mods, Overhauls, Traits and Talents and basically anything that "adds-on" content will leave a dependency for those mods on the save file. When you disable or remove those mods you will no longer be able to load that save until you re-enable them. That's why i don't use them.

Stat changing mods that change things like vanilla unit's stats, buildings stats, squalor and food changing mods should (maybe) be fine. This is because they are only changing code that has an effect every turn or on unit stats, it's not permanently set into the safe file. But they still may have problems say if you remove a no squalor/food effects mod when you load back into the campaign your economy plummets into chaos.

By just having Graphical mods only I am still able to launch and play my save games from September last year, because they don't have mod dependencies or corruption.

Other than that I can't recommend you have any other mods apart from Graphical/Visual ones seeing that this game is getting regular patching, unless you stick to 1 or two that are definitely updated like Radious's for example.

For 7 months I could not play due to the mods being out of date supposedly. I went into C:program files (86)/steam/steamapps/common/Total War Rome II/data and deleted the mods individually. I then started the game with no mods and it loaded to the menu. Then i closed it and went back and resubscribed to the mods and it loaded the game perfectly. Yet to try my old campaign yet though but custom battle worked fine.
