Sexlab seems to corrupt the saves once uninstalled

[Darkau]

Hi, I made 2 tests: I installed skyrim once last year, and I had a corrupted save once I tried to uninstal sexlab (game crash after loading, I used Vortex) and the only solution if you wanted to play without sexlab was using a save without it.  Last week I did the same with MO2, and same issue: you can't uninstal sexlab without corrupting your save. Is there a tool to solve this? Or did I do something wrong? Or is that normal?

 

Thank you.

Thank you.

Uninstalling mods in the middle of a saved game playthrough will frequently corrupt your save. This is especially true with larger framework style mods such as Sexlab.

 

Smaller mods like outfits and followers you can 'sometimes' uninstall safely if you use a save game cleaner, but something like Sexlab, installing and uninstalling means a new game.

There are uninstall instructions in the sexlab description page. You could use Fallrim Tools to remove things related to uninstalled mods from your save (like unattached scripts), instructions for that are in that mod description too. You shouldn't attempt to uninstall mods like SL framework tho, you'll also need to uninstall any SL related mod and these could have additional steps to remove or be a pain to remove (I mean it is possible but if you're struggling to even remove the framework when there are specific instructions...). It's way easier to avoid installing entire frameworks and additional mods if you're unsure about keeping them installed later. Specially if you care about your saves but don't know how to keep them clean already.
