Announcement NEW MOD FORMAT CHANGES

[RayBo]

I am posting this video not to so much promote Creation Club changes but to let Juicehead explain changes to mods created with the CK going forward. Please see his explanation starting at about 17:30 timestamp in the video attached below.

The bottom line as I understand it:

1. Mods that are updated or created with the new Creation Kit (CK) will not work with old versions of the game.
2. Old mods will continue to work with the new game version/update to F04 files.

If you have questions on this process please post them on this thread as I am sure that some folks will have concerns, or choose not to update their game version right away - (for example, waiting for F4SE to update). If you download a mod saved in the new CK "new or updated" it will crash the old version of the game.

Now, Kinggath has posting instructions for how to deal with that and change the file header, if this does affect your situation/is the case "a problem for folks" then someone or myself can post instructions here for how to change it. Basically:


There are other changes to esl files but I will let more knowledgeable folks than me post specifics on that part of the new updates.

To hear about these changes please skip to the about the 17:30 time stamp in the video.
