After uninstalling mods, I cannot load my save game. Please help!

[DoctorX149]

Ok, so today, I tried running skyrim, and I encountered the infinite-load-screen glitch. After doing some research, I came to the conclusion that I should uninstall all my mods and see if it works after that.
Once I tried loading a game, however, it prompts me saying something like this-
this save file contains content which no longer exists. Run anyways?
Something like that. I click yes, and the game immediately closes (crashes).
Even after re-installing the mods, it does not work.
I used a fix where you start a new game, exit, and load your old game; but alas this does not work either. Please help, I have spent weeks playing on this save and I do not want to lose all my progress!

That`s because the Mod data is baked into the save. You can`t run the save without those mods. You will have to start a whole new game.

Exactly what Fireheart said. If you want to continue that PC, you'll need all those mods you had with his last save.

Rule number 1. never uninstall a mod midgame!
Rule number 2. never install a mod without NMM and loot
Rule number 3. re read rule number 1 and 2

[JDaremo Fireheart]

Rule number 4. Avoid installing mods midgame in case of conflicts.
Rule number 5 Make frequent use of the console save function and have have many save files.

So my game really is lost? It's about 25 hours of gameplay I'm losing, which certainly isn't massive, but it would be a huge pain to go back through. Like I said, I re-installed all the mods I had before and it still wouldn't run.

26 hours is a drop in the ocean kid :) I've got 1317 hours gameplay total now.. in hindsight I guess I've restarted the game maybe 10 to 20 times youll learn to keep youre game safely modded from then.. just follow the rules for modding and you should be good

I learned these lessons the hardway long before Skyrim came out when I was manually Modding Morrowind. Hard lesson, but you learned something all people who mod games should know before they add their first mod. Sorry, about the save.

It's all good. I really, REALLY don't want to play back through skyrim again. I'll come back in a couple years. In the meantime, is ESO any good?

It's good, for an MMO. The community is friendly enough as well. But it feels like most other MMOs out there.

ESO is so far from The Elder Scrolls you can get, not the same feeling at all! I tried it ran through a ton of quests, then it dawned on me... this isnt The Elder Scrolls, this is another mmo...

That sucks well you learned the worst way if you had it for weeks i have hade my game for 1 week and 4 days and 75 hours through you were slow

This would mbe yet another reason as to why people should back up their saves :/

Before installing a "bigger" mod
