New update broke every mod
I guess it's on me for modding my game so heavily, but the new update totally destroyed mods. My digitigrade legs are invisible and opening the pause menu insta-crashes the game so saving is impossible too. Gotta find something else to play after hours of updating just to get it to launch.

You do know that it's possible to lock the game updates, right?

Which mod manager do you use?

When your game and mods are stable, do not update anything.

I was about to ask whether update worth it and the mods are stable but here I am

use [mod] SSE Engine fixes (if you aren't already) and [mod] "SSE Engine Fixes - Modified .toml File Only For SSE v1.6.1130 and v1.6.1170" fixed things for me.

Why don't people just block updates, why is this so hard, why make so much fuss about something that is so easy to stop.

If some people cannot do the most simple of things and your mods break its on you.

Bethesda will not stop updating the game, they don't care about your mods or you, learn to deal with it.

Guess we will see the same people crying when they do this to Fallout 4.

oh noes.
This is the problem with the constant patching and releases. The Sims 4 has this same issue. Modders then have to update their mods.

Bethesda and EA are struggling to continue milking these games for more and more cash. To do that, they have to periodically add new content.

My advice is only use mods by modders, who are responsive to the updates. The updates and roadmaps are published, so modders can stay on top of that, if they choose to.

I checked and auto-updates cannot be turned off for this game.

I don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about the updates, however, your emotionally abusive post presumes that auto-updates can be turned off. I just looked in the properties and could not see that they can be disabled. Perhaps there is some way to do so without using the choices given to us in Steam by the company?

Maybe, instead of belittling people, you could share with them how to turn-off the auto-updates.

Lol. This is the internet, stop being so fragile.

Here's the steps to mark your game as 'read only' to stop updates:

go into "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps" look for a file called "appmanifest_489830.acf". Right-click it and put a check-mark in the box that says "Read Only" then click OK.
That's it. Never will your game update again without your explicit consent.
Should you choose to update at a later stage, simply remove the Read Only option and it will update again.

I have tried to turn off the updates for the game, but it does not work. I went on Youtube to see how to do and to install the older updates, it did not work. I do not know how to stop the updates for games, in which you can't turn off updating for.

Yes, I went into a file system and did what was stated and nothing worked.

The update lock won't reset the update itself once it was applied.
