Old save mod list?

[Witski]

Is there a way to know the list of mods on a old save?
Edit: or another mod manager?I had some trouble with vorted and the long list of fixes and compatibily things which i don't know how to fix properly.

When you disable all mods and then load an old savefile will the game usually tell you that mods are missing and also list these.

Thing is, i had to unistall the game and i deleted vortex and the mod list backup too.

Edit: i have the list but it's not full,i can't scroll down.

The game will not have as much information saved about all mods in its savefiles as Vortex. Some mods do not affect the game directly and so do not leave a trace (i.e. .dll mods).

So the simplest you can do is to load the old save and write down what it says:

Best you write down each mod with its URL and keep it in a text file somewhere and back it up. I have done this and it made it very easy when I got a new SSD and reinstalled everything onto it.

NexusMods.com can also tell you which mods you have endorsed or downloaded in the past. This can also be of help sometimes.

Lol, you guys make things so overly complicated. Just go to Nexus, download FallRim Tools and use that to open up your most recent save. At the very top of the list, you'll see two trees that start with "PLUGINS".

Open those and VOILA, there's a list of every single plugin in your save file. The only thing that it won't show you are REPLACER mods but then again, no method will show you that since replacers don't use a plugin file.

Never heard of that mod

Its not a mod. Its a utility and its never too late to learn something new. However, if you feel more comfortable retrieving your mod list the tedious way, by all means, do so.

Well yeah, my character does have great tits but she's pretty modest about them. And 250 mods? Not hardly.

Sdack my friend, I don't take this forum personally not do I look at it as some kind of competition. I try to answer questions with what knowledge of this game I've accumulated over 4.7k hours of playing it.

If the truth be known, I couldn't care less if anyone takes my advice or not. All I care about is my own game and it's running fine. So whatever you meant by your comment, if it was meant as a joke, then hahahaha. If it was meant as a barb, then you can go have a nice day.

I think he was referring to your profile picture which i guess is a good titted woman from fo4.
Anyway im downloading the tool you suggested and taking a look.

Well thanks for the clarification because honestly, I didn't know where he was coming from. FallRim tools is a wonderful utility and it can do a lot more than what I mentioned.

For example, if you have orphaned scripts in your save, they can crash your game at the most inopportune times. FallRim can detect these and even clean them from your save file, sometimes recovering an otherwise corrupted save. Check it out
