Question about Modded BL2

[Velkie]

So I'm planning on getting into the Modded scene for the game, primarily after I get through UVHM on my current character ((just now getting into TVHM after a ton of grinding in Fight for Sanctuary on Uranus and Cassius)), with Community Patch, Exodus, and Azurelands being the main ones I wanna check out.

The only thing I'm curious is if they need to be loaded via the console everytime you get to the character select screen before actually loading into the world itself to prevent items from breaking.

I had been watching Joltz's Azurelands playthrough and I heard him mention that he had loaded into the game without loading Azurelands first and most of the guns he had broke, so I'm just wanting to get a little bit of pre-game modding advice before just going in guns blazing (hah).

To answer some of your questions

you do need to load the mod you want to use everytime.

Yes the game will delete items that dont make sense so that will include a non modded game or weapons with parts that dont exist in the mod you load (not everytime but enough you wont want to risk it.)

Some handy tips.

back up your save files.
label characters at the quick change with the mod name.
mixing the bigger content mods is generally a bad idea.
Hoping this will change one day but Exodus is not multiplayer friendly.

Mm, thank you! That's exactly the kind of answer I was looking for!

I was already planning on doing the nicknaming thing, I was only planning to do one mod at a time, and I tend to play solo anyways since only a couple of my friends play BL2
