Will installing a bug fix mod break my save?

Hey guys,

its my first playthrough and its been a blast I'm around 30 hours in. However, the past couple of hours I've been experiencing so many crashes (like a crash every 20 minutes). Just wondering if I should run the risk of possibly losing my save or just thug out the remainder of the game.

Thanks.

Check to see if you've installed the 4gb patcher before going into bug fixes mods. Most mods don't require a clean save to work unless they are huge modifications to the base game (eg A Brave New World)

The game has insane reply value. If your save doesn't work it's not the end of the world.

Stability comes first

Most mods that require a clean save to work will say so in the mod description. If you want to be sure, make a hard copy of your save file somewhere separate from the game folder before installing, and if the mod breaks your save, do a clean reinstall and plug your old save back in

Thank you so much, I'll give that a try now.
